Why do so many white people fumble around in the kitchen in informercials? Tupperware lids, not properly closing their blenders, making spills, etc...they can't keep their shit together! Hey!!! As a white person I can you, we need that stuff!! Eggs are way too f***ing complicated to cook. THERE’S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY!! Oh my god, I remember a commercial for electric scissors. It opens with a women cutting wrapping paper or something, and the voiceover says, "Cutting a straight line can be difficult." Meanwhile, this f***ing woman is cutting like she's having a seizure, zig zagging and making a mess. Like, are you serious with this?

Electric Scissors are a big part of it.

Somehow I don't think the pizza guy's manager is gonna think that was an acceptable form of payment regardless of how little cash that woman had. So Pizza Delivery Guy part 5 starring Tom Byron lied to me? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

When people are getting ready for work. Guys who look like they just shaved start putting on shaving cream. There's nothing on your face to shave off. The other one is, they get dressed, brush their teeth, then go downstairs and eat breakfast. Why aren't you brushing your teeth after you eat? You brush your teeth after you eat?

Not immediately after, but why brush your teeth and then go dirty them again before going to work? Besides, toothpaste and orange juice is disgusting.

I had no idea life was as had as people in infomercials make it out to be I had no idea that ab machines suddenly make you look like a fitness model. I get what they're trying to do, but when you see the after pictures and they have definition on their chest and arms, it makes me believe that a lot of who they hired were already fit to begin with and that those before pictures had to have been from years before.

Sort of like how I had no idea that making eggs or pancakes was so incredibly complicated that I needed a special device to make them perfectly-one at a time! I mean, its not like making two or three at a time in an extra large pan or skillet and allowing some drip over is the end of the world-NO NO! I need them all perfectly round, and probably cold as stone by the time I am done with the meal.

Not eating fortune cookies. We see them get opened but nobody actually eats the damn things after reading the fortune. I've seen people do that... I don't get it but I've seen people check the fortune and throw the cookie out.

Who decided that instead of wrapping gifts, people would wrap boxes and box lids and hand out gifts that you didn't have to tear the paper to open?

If I just wandered into a neighbors house like they do in many sitcoms without knocking and waiting at the door I'd get shot. Even with the neighbors that are my good friends. You just don't walk your ass into any house unless it's yours. I used to live in an apartment building that was basically a 90’s sitcom. Wandering into apartments without knocking, everyone’s fridge is fair game, people could come and go as they pleased, the whole 9 yards. It was a lot to get used to, and really weird to think about now considering I’ve become very private and hermit like since then. Now, there’s a very select few people I even let come in to my house. And only about 3 people who have permission to show up unannounced. I had one of those too. I lived in a house with between four and six other people. We had people wandering in and out at all times of the day and night. We didn't bother to lock the doors because then visitors would ring ring ring the bell or pound pound pound on the door or if nobody was home, they would just break in and wait for us. That house was nonstop craziness.

I remember seeing one for a can opener that had someone blatantly dumping the contents of a can on their kitchen counter. Not even pretending they spilled it on accident because regular can openers are such incomprehensible mechanical abominations to the point you'll even spill the can after you've successfully opened it, just straight-up grabbing the can and tossing whatever was inside all over the counter. WTF.

They do that because in TV shows they have to move the plot along quickly and it takes time to tear wrapping paper off a gift box (and also it's noisy). It's much quicker to just have the actor lift the lid off a box to reveal what the gift is so they can move the scene along. Plus, if they have to do another take all they have to do is put the lid back on the box instead of re-wrapping the box or having another wrapped box prop there.

I did that but then again I don't eat Chinese like that anymore and they only ever give you fortune cookies (In NY anyway) if you order to be delivered If you getting that shit in the restaurant you got to ask for it

I know, but nobody I have ever met in real life wraps a gift like that. That's a thing that happens only in movies and TV that I notice and it's a little thing that bugs me. Granted, now I know more people who buy those 'gift bags' and put presents in that with just paper covering it instead of proper wrapping.

The people that order 25 bucks worth of food at a local diner, eat two bites then leave. 90% of TV handles food like they have never eaten before. The other 10% you can tell the actors are just chowing down and having a good time. A lot of that is an acting choice. Seasoned actors will barely take a bite because you sometimes have to do a lot of takes and the food is usually cold so you don't want to have to take a bunch of bites of food you have to eat. It can also mess with continuity. Patton Oswald said he learned his lesson after he decides to take a huge bite of cake for a scene and he had to do take after take of eating this huge bite of cake and he never did that again.

There are almost always spit buckets available for the actors.
