I'll start with one on my mind the last 2 years, given Buzzr has had it on the schedule...
"Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour would have been saved if Peter Marshall hosted and not Jon Bauman!"
No. It was meant as filler while Santa Barbara was being prepared. Mark Goodson wouldn't allow it to be the Squares that Marshall knew. Would the hosting be better? Sure, but not a cure-all.
(And watching the show progress, I think Bauman did a good job for what it was)

Pizza. Particularly pineapple on pizza, who cares, eat what you like. Same with style or where you get it from. Although it is kind of interesting pineapple replaced anchovies as the questionable topping of discussion.

Anything that isn't dark and edgey is immature. Only R-rated movies are mature. Pizza. Particularly pineapple on pizza, who cares, eat what you like. Same with style or where you get it from. Although it is kind of interesting pineapple replaced anchovies as the questionable topping of discussion. I think it's because no place actually regularly has anchovies on the menu and hasn't for like 30-40 years and was basically an easy joke topping for movies and such when making bizzare pizza combos...

I think it's because no place actually regularly has anchovies on the menu and hasn't for like 30-40 years and was basically an easy joke topping for movies and such when making bizzare pizza combos... My family had said the "original" anchovies as a pizza topping was because of the connection with a Caeser Salad using anchovies in the dressing. So if you were a place that made real Caesar salad, anchovies as a topping was natural since you already had them on had. Mind you, this idea goes back to the days of pizza's being made in Italian restaurants and before you'd just buy a 50 gallon drum of caeser dressing from the food distributor. This family theory I heard from my great uncle that ran an Italian Restaurant in Chicago, and later a hotel/restaurant in Iowa. It's one of the reasons I cook the way I do! I have some old school recipes, tools and tricks. For the record, I like anchovies on pizza, but I also totally understand why most people would hate it. ANYWHO... back to the topic: I really dislike people saying "obviously the players are tanking" in regards to the NFL. Those dudes aren't going to tank their own stats and get cut for the betterment of the team's future. They may have coaches and other "protected" personnel in higher offices trying to tank, but the players? OH hell no. They are literally playing for their livelihood every snap. Looking like a dumbass cornerback that gets burned in the final seconds of a game is a career killer.

Probably not, but if you like it, eat it. I'm not gonna stop you.

“The thing from my childhood is so much better than the thing that exists today.”
No, you’re a victim of your own nostalgia, and really just miss the days when you didn’t have to pay bills.

"Die Hard is a christmas movie!" is the lamest, most played out joke in the world.
Nitpicking childrens movies and doing dumb shit like declaring stockholm syndrome on Beauty and the Beast is dumb as hell.
Having a beard is not a personality.

A lot of kids gets exposed to movies like that, you probably want them to take away a better lesson than "that abusive guy is really a great dude underneath it all, you can change him".

This is an interesting one. To a certain degree it's true, and there are lots of things that people remember as being far better than they actually were. But I also understand the nostalgia, because pop culture has sort of died, or at the very least become more meaningless and disposable than ever before. There are things that are popular but since the early 2000s there hasn't been anything that has captured the cultural zeitgeist in the way that there was in every decade from the fifties through the nineties, the reasons for which are many, so it's understandable that people cling onto when pop culture did have meaning.

For the most part I believe this is correct. However... then you get something like Pepsi. When I was a kid I loved Pepsi. As an adult... it was OK at best. I thought it was nostalgia. I was like "well that's growing up". Then I drank a glass bottle of the real sugar Pepsi. Then I realized that corn syrup Pepsi was actually the problem, not the nostalgia. So with that said, sometimes there actually is a real reason that's not nostalgia.

I don't think this is true at all. There are a lot of things that have been successful commercially or that have garnered a big following, but very few that I would say have reflected the wider culture. There are no more widely-shared cultural experiences that people are conscious of and affected by even if they aren't actively engaged with them, and I would say as a millennial that nothing has ever really culturally defined my generation.
There are a few essays and articles and things about this; Douglas Coupland actually suggested this in 2010, that everything is now so readily available and lives are so "customised" that there are no broad cultural "megatrends" anymore. I think the way the cultural industries work has changed too.

The Simpsons is not as good as it used to be.
It was NEVER that good, and the only reason most think so is because they were kids at the time, and never saw a cartoon with cursing in it before.

If a man and a woman are seen together in public in a friendly manner to each other, they must be having sex with each other.

Whenever a group of people get together to order pizza, someone always has to have their disgusting fruit pizza but there’s no chance I get anchovy’s.
