Friends - ive seen a number of episodes here and there and could name a few of the main characters but i couldn't tell reallt what the show is about or which characters are with who. Nothing against it and god knows how often it has been repeated but i have just never given much thought to watch it from beginning to end.
The Office - same as Friends
Game of Thrones - never been into the whole medieval, dragons thing. Also some of the gore is a bit much for me.
Lord of the Rings - same sort of thing. I've seen the first and second films but they didn't capture my imagination.

Oh and Matrix too.
I still haven't seen any of the Matrix movies. I just thought they looked stupid. Like I remember when one of them first came out, a clip of a guy spinning in a circle around a propped up stick kicking 100 other guys in the fact. And it looked so f***ing stupid.

Youtube and twitch culture I suppose. As in when a top streamer makes the news and I have no idea who they are, then no idea why they're so popular.
Obviously I watch the odd thing but it's usually recommended from outside the site or something I'm specifically looking for. Nothing recommended with ugly thumbnails appeals.
Tiktok is much better as for example it knows to show me someone playing along to gameboy Pokemon on the melodica with all the sound effects. I'm sure an equivalent exists on YouTube but I wouldn't search for it and I'd never find it organically.

Game Of Thrones. It peaked during my 2010s MCU phase, so I was distracted. I've only seen like the last 5 minutes of an episode of GoT while waiting for Silicon Valley to come on. Thought it was cool, but I never watched anything else for some reason.

All I watched was that second to last episode where that one queen burned up everybody with the dragon and the internet raged over it.

Borat. People would throw a hissy fit at me when I said I thought it was stupid. "You just don't get the joke then!" Nah. I got it. Just wasn't funny, and the number of people quoting it ad nauseum for the next 3 years didn't help

I gave up on Friends after the second season.
Maybe it’s because I always had non-Nintendo systems, but I never cared about Zelda games.
Never got into Rick and Morty.
Beavis and Butt-Head seemed edgy when I wasn’t allowed to watch it, but looking back, I found it repetitive and not particularly creative, even when compared to other adult cartoons at the time, like Duckman.

Any TV talent shows: American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, America’s Got Talent, etc.
I have yet to watch a single episode of Survivor.
The Super Bowl. Growing up, I hardly paid attention to football until the launch of the original XFL in 2001. The WWE connection definitely helped, as well as the fact that my high school guidance counselor’s husband was a QB for the Chicago Enforcers. Yes, really. So while I became a football fan as I got older, I just have no desire to watch. Especially when it’s two teams I don’t even care about. Ditto for the halftime show, since it’s usually a pop star that I don’t listen to anyway. I think the last time I watched it was when Bruce Springsteen played at SB 43.

Those WB teen dramas like One Tree Hill, Dawson's Creek, Buffy, Supernatural, etc. Only one I liked was Smallville (and I eventually even lost interest in that one).

FPS Games - It seems everytime a new Call of Duty Game or any other First Person Shooter comes out.. It is treated like the next coming of christ. Seriously Old friends of mine and Work Colleagues wouldn't shut up about it.. Yet when I play them I get bored really quickly, I even nodded off playing one once.. If you enjoy them then cool but I have literally zero interest in them personally.

Just wasn't funny, and the number of people quoting it ad nauseum for the next 3 years didn't help I think you’re wrong. Borat is hilarious. However, there’s nothing to “get”, kind of shows what those people think of you that they believe f***ing Borat was too intellectual for you.

Star Wars - the original three are fairly decent and I made an effort to watch the final prequel to see how Darth Vader got made but I've not rewatched any and didn't bother with the sequels and TV shows.
Harry Potter and Pokemon I was in my 20s for their peak so I didn't get into either but I don't doubt had I been born several years later I'd have been a fan.
Breaking Bad seems right up my alley but every time I've tried to watch it I find the first few episodes dull and quit. Entourage, Big Bang Theory, Dexter, Trailer Park Boys and Community are all shows I remember flatmates trying to get me into which I found to be rubbish (you can tell I started living alone around 2012ish so have avoided flatmate recommendations since) tbf they got me into noughties staples like Its Always Sunny, Arrested Development, Lost and tons of others I still rewatch today.
Games, anime, and a lot of music types have passed me by as I'm just not into the genres (with one or two notable exceptions).
Some that have bucked the trend: I initially avoided GoT and LOTR as I don't read fantasy and the MCU as I don't like Superhero media but when they did fall into my lap (it's usually a 10-hour flight) I found I really liked them.

If you enjoy them then cool but I have literally zero interest in them personally. 15 years ish in gaming retail and every time a new fifa/pro-evo/cod/battlefield/wow expansion/resi evil/forza/gran turismo/wwe game/destiny expansion "this game is amazing, better than last years pile of shite!" while buying the game and two weeks later "this game is shit, I'm trading it in to get last years back as it's miles better!" the over-hyping in fanbases for games is insane, now I'm out of gaming retail I have no idea how the hell I managed to bite my tongue so often. I saw the cod fan base go from loving the campaign mode to "there's a campaign mode?" (but that may have been more down to activision half arsing it with that mode, sadly cod online modes have been toxic since the original modern warfare game.) but I can understand someone not liking any first person shooter.

Modern wrestling. Have been a fan my whole life but I am finding it increasingly hard to maintain my interest with the way wrestling is being presented today.

The most recent I can think of is parks and recreation. I watched a few episodes and was not digging it. I might try it again as I've heard the second season is where it gets good.
With pokemon, I was more of a Digimon guy. I did play Pokémon red and x, but never got past a couple of gyms before I lost interest. I actually try to catch 'em all which just slows everything to a crawl and then I burn out.
Back when I got my ps4 I did try one of the call of duty games because it felt like every one st work was excited for it. Turns out it was just two guys but they were talking so much it seemed like more. This was also the year they didn't even bother with a campaign. Quickly dropped it.
Never watched the fast and furious franchise past the second movie.

I hate Friends with a passion. Not just because I find the actual programme agonisingly unfunny - "Pivot! Pivot!" f*** off - but the whole culture that emerged from it; the veneration of vapid, self-absorbed yuppies and the deluge of sitcom clones about similarly objectionable, repellent urbanites, and its role in gentrification as dense, boring, rich squares flock to cities to live out dreams of coffee-slurping smuggery and egoism fostered by this aberration of a programme. No one should aspire to be "such a Ross" or whatever it is people say, because they're some of the absolute worst fictional people who have ever existed. To a slightly lesser extent I hate Sex In The City too for similar reasons, but replace coffee with cupcakes, and How I Met Your Mother.
I don't hate the American version of The Office, there's a couple of early episodes I genuinely think are very funny, but I was a huge fan of the original and I find the other version to be far too sitcommy and consciously zany in comparison.
I don't care for Harry Potter. Never read the books, never seen the films, find the idea of people actually playing quiddich to be more than a little bit annoying. I don't hate it but it does annoy me.
Just big franchises and mega blockbusters in general, really. I can probably the count the number of Marvel and DC films I've seen on one hand, and I remember almost nothing of any of them; saw one Transformers film, was extremely bored; never seen a Fast & Furious film, never seen a Pirates Of The Caribbean film, never seen a Hunger Games, never seen Avatar, don't really feel like I've missed much/anything.
Oh, and I've never seen Game of Thrones. Again, don't really feel the need to start watching it.
I'm probably coming across like a really grumpy f***er who hates any and all pop culture here, and I actually like loads of stuff. But I think the more I'm beaten over the head with something, the less I like it.
