I would like to be a sitcom character who gets progressively dumber every year to the point people wonder how I can actually function anymore ![](https://frinkiac.com/img/S07E10/555470.jpg) That's not a question, Professor

Here is one that popped into mind today: an episode where someone goes to a movie theater. There always has to be a theater usher having to check to see if someone has tickets. I remember sneaking into films as a kid, or in a much better term, "movie-hopped," and I don't remember seeing someone coming into the theater to check to see if someone has ticket stubs.

People putting their hands around supposedly hot beverages and taking big gulps from obviously empty cups annoys me a disproportionate amount Have you see Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas? Kirk obviously does this with an empty cup that's supposed to be full of Hot Chocolate. heh... Jerry Seinfeld only drank coffee on air at Seinfeld or on Comedians in Cars. Never IRL. It’s like he thinks he needs to be on TV to drink coffee.

Whenever a person on TV comes home from the grocery store, they always have a baguette sticking out one of the bags. According to sitcoms, baguettes are the most popular food item in America. Just watched the first episode of SNL, and yep, the very first sketch has John Belushi with a shopping bag with a baguette sticking out.

The cliche bit involving the hot girl and the nerdy guy. When the nerdy guy tries to talk to the pretty girl, more often than not, she usually says "Do I know you?" and the nerdy guy tries to tell her that he had sat next to her in class and such. Look, I get that some people don't acknowledge certain people in classes, but when someone sits in close proximity like that, you would think that she would notice the person sitting there.

It depends. Last time I was on the gulf coast ran into a woman who said she sat next to me for a bunch of classes my senior year. I didn't remember her at all. But by 12th grade most of my friends were out of school,so I rarely interacted with my classmates outside of the class room. Add in that back then I was pretty standoffish.

Yeah, I’m much more used to girls knowing I’m alive and just not caring. That’s more real life.

Nobody cares about the unnamed evil henchmen when they get brutally murdered by the protagonist. What about them? What about their families? What about their life insurance plan? My girlfriend and I noticed that particularly for The Equalizer 2. Denzel Washington essentially plays a serial killer.

I remember sneaking into films as a kid, or in a much better term, "movie-hopped," and I don't remember seeing someone coming into the theater to check to see if someone has ticket stubs. I’ve seen it a few times. Once when I movie hopped to I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (...I know). The theater was jam packed so I guess a few people snuck in. The ushers were only checking people’s tickets in the front and the ends of rows so they wouldn’t distract people too much from the movie. Luckily I got a seat deep in the middle so they didn’t ask me for my ticket. Another time I went to see the first of the Bay Transformers movies. I actually had a ticket that time but they didn’t check for mine again. I guess some kids snuck into that one and got kicked out. I was a little worried I’d get in trouble that time. Because while I paid for my ticket I also snuck in a full Chinese dinner.

When I was a child, I watched a lot of martial arts movies and power rangers and wanted to be a ninja. Imagine my surprise when I started learning martial arts, there were no training on doing crazy gymnastic flips.
I was like “when do you learn the back flips?!”

Saved by the bell 90210
School radio and tv stations
When would anyone have time to listen to this and why would they if they played them after school hours?
I mentioned the Go Bayside podcast before and April said that when she mocked that, she received feedback from people saying that it’s a real thing.

I love Lucy
Most of the jokes and storylines are relatively timeless and easy to get even if you were born way after this era, but there was always one joke that left me going “huh?”
Lucy mentions that her babysitter’s name was something, then she married some guy named Sears and Ricky goes “you don’t think her first husband’s name wasn’t...? Nah!”

Also with Saved by the Bell and other high school shows, the principal and teachers really only seemed to give a damn about those six kids or so. You have a whole school of kids.
That episode where Mr. Belding was just chilling in Zack's bedroom, like...get out of here with that.
Although, my high school principal lived down the street from me, and grew up with my and my friend's parents, so...he did know us a lot better than the rest of the school.

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? I wondered about why guys were using shaving cream for an electric razor. Is this a thing?

Also, regarding schools in tv and movies. I’ve never seen a school locker big enough to stuff a person in to. Seems like a bit way too much space for just some books and maybe some extra clothes. Also, Boy meets world: Did they have a combined middle and high school? Or just the complete absence of a middle school? I’m pretty sure they started in the 7th grade but never left that school for like 6 years

I always laugh on Saved By The Bell when the kids have endless time in between classes to hang out in the hallways talking for 10 minute stretches before they casually walk off to their next class instead of rushing from one class to the next because they only have a few minutes to get form one end of the school to another with maybe 30 seconds to swap out books and papers in their locker if they're lucky.

I wondered about why guys were using shaving cream for an electric razor. Is this a thing? I don't think so. I remember an electric razor years ago that oozed out some kind of gel to make it smoother. The commercial was military cadets saying how electric razors don't shave close enough, and they ain't giving up their blades. One guy with the electric razor was like, "What is that? Goo?!" Haha. *found it on youtube. The Norelco Virginia Military Institute commercial*

I’m pretty sure they started in the 7th grade but never left that school for like 6 years my fifth grade locker was huge... they were like double the size of every other locker I had... could easily have put someone in the locker if one felt inclined... it never happened though. as for Boy Meets World My high school had an attached 6-8 grade so possibly ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
