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.

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 Law & Order without a shocking twist!"

"Don't miss the last 90 seconds!"

Cue Enya music: "Don't miss the last Friends [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: Pardon the Interruption 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 SportsCenter. I'm Stuart Scott and with me is ... Stuart Scott."

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

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."

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

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

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

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





No, not THOSE cheeks.

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

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

I love thread tangents.

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.

Perfect. I can't believe I forgot that. Even more annoying that "Can you hear me now?" or "We must protect THIS HOUSE!"
