the most annoying phrase on tv has to be:
 
"Due to the length of todays game we now join ______ already in progress".

if you watch Fox you will hear this atleast once a week.

There have been so many times when I watch FOX, and that phrase is uttered. I'm then presented with the last 5 minutes of "The Simpsons", then the credits roll.

Sports suck.

das Monkey 01-10-04 08:01 PM

Bah ... I can top that. ;)

"If you haven't seen it, it's new to you!"

"The episode of [insert NBC show here] you cannot miss!"

"Ripped from the headlines, it wouldn't be <i>Law & Order</i> without a shocking twist!"

"Don't miss the last 90 seconds!"

Cue Enya music: "Don't miss the last <i>Friends</i> [insert one of 15 types of episodes]."

"We are The Pulse!"

"Bringing you tonight's game is Brent Musberger alongside Tim McCarver."

"And now for you local news."

"And now, here's Jaaaaaaaay Lenooooooooooo!"

[on the ticker] "Programming Alert: <i>Pardon the Interruption</i> will not be seen today so we can bring you this special presentation of the first day of a golf tournament no one gives a shit about."

"Welcome to <i>SportsCenter</i>. I'm Stuart Scott and with me is ... Stuart Scott."

And the ultimate ... "Can you hear me now? Good."

"Throw it down big man!"

Venusian 01-10-04 10:20 PM

its even more annoying that they show the intro for simpson of koth then cut to it already in progress. cut out the intro so we get atleast another minute

Seeker 01-10-04 10:22 PM

Due to the length of this game, we are leaving it now to present "Heidi" in its entirety...

DGibFen 01-10-04 11:08 PM

Jack Bauer.

(And I like "24", but why do they have to use his entire name all of the time?)

Until a few weeks ago, I would have agreed.

The current top of my list:

"I'm Jesse May."

Copenhagen 01-11-04 12:30 AM

:hscratch: who's Jesse May?

das Monkey 01-11-04 12:32 AM

Hehe ... shuffle up, and deal!

That's like saying, "What's a colonoscopy feel like?"

You don't want to know, and you're better off not knowing.

Copenhagen 01-11-04 12:39 AM

What does a colonoscopy feel like? Man it appears I'm lacking some important info here.

Wizdar 01-11-04 12:50 AM

Well, if you really want to know, please bend over and spread your cheeks.





No, not THOSE cheeks.


;)

das Monkey 01-11-04 12:55 AM

... or tune into to new episodes starting January 14 at 8pm on YUU! PEE! ENN! <i>upn</i>. Although it may be less painful to just bend over as <b>Wizdar</b> suggests.

Creepy that's my birthday.

edytwinky 01-11-04 07:32 AM

I really hate, "now for a local weather alert"

Tom Banjo 01-11-04 08:09 AM

:johnwoo:"We must protect this HOUSE!!!"

Not bad at all because you're drugged up. What's horrible is the prep.

I love thread tangents.

Damfino 01-11-04 11:50 AM

Next on an all new...

Next on a very special... (first clue that it's a clip show)

I really hate this one. Just once I want to hear a promo say... "This week on a half new, have repeat...".

Why use all? It's either new or it isn't. -screwy-

cruzness 01-11-04 12:26 PM

TV's MOST WATCHED SHOW....CSI.....(insert dialog) ............A POWERFUL NEW CSI

cruzness 01-11-04 12:28 PM

Stay tuned for scenes from next week's episode of............(insert show name)

Y2K Falcon 01-11-04 01:11 PM

Can you say 'Hemi'?/It has a Hemi.

das Monkey 01-11-04 01:19 PM

:lol: Perfect. I can't believe I forgot that. Even more annoying that "Can you hear me now?" or "We must protect <i>THIS</i> <b>HOUSE</B>!"
