The Most Annoying DVD Menus To Leave Running?

If you ever let the main menu of a DVD or a specific part of the DVD Run for a while and after awhile it starts to really get on eveybody's nerves? Anyone think of any DVD that is like that. I can think of some that will be annoying if you left it running

Punk'd - Season 1 - Disc 1
Eurotrip

Someboday SAAAAAAAAVE MEEEE!!!

Smallville: Any season - It's cool in small doses, but leaving it running is a bad idea.


I'll throw one out there for Coolest: Blair Witch Project - especially late at night.

Shrek.

Donkey saying "Oooh, oooh, pick me! Pick me!" with Three Blind Mice playing in the background over and over.

This is what immediately came to mind.

When the Best Buy guys came over to hook up my 53" Panny, I decided to put Shrek in as the demo. Baad mistake!

The main menu of The Simpsons Season 3 got on my nerves after a while with Maggie's pacifier sound and the theme on eternal repeat.

One annoying, yet awesome at the same time DVD menu to leave running would be the episodes menu on the Wonder Showzen season 1 DVD, trippy to say the least.

At risk of hijacking this thread 180 degrees in the other direction.....

The Sin City menu really grows on you as it repeats.

That was the first thing that popped into my head. Shrek's Menu is annoying as all get out. Drives me nuts.

I would also say leaving the Family Guy on it is funny for a little bit but the quotes get sooooooo repetitive that you want to stab Seth MacFarlane in the throat (but maybe that is just me)

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Manos: The Hands of Fate (the stand-alone, I can't speak of "The Essentials" edition) - It will warp your brain to another dimension as Torgo's Theme plays over & over & over & over.

The Works of Chris Cunningham. The menus for this are terrifying, with this horrible industrial noise that keeps repeating.

Fangoria Blood Drive was really bad, with Rob Zombie doing a lame intro explaining the menu items that just looped over and over.

L.A. Confidential: Danny DeVito repeating, "Remember dear readers, you heard it here --off the record, on the Q.T. and always hush-hush." (or something to that effect)

Note so. Disc 1 of Criterion's The Killers is awesome.

"We're here to kill the Swede."

For me, it's virtually any DVD. I haven't found one DVD that if I left running more than 6-7 cycles through the menu I had to put it on mute.

There was one DVD (I can't remember which one) that I read actually played a whole song or the whole soundtrack or something. That one might not be too bad. I think it's one I own, not that that helps much.
