I'll never understand...
 

This got me thinking...there are some things I'll never understand.

Like how people still tell jokes about how men don't ask for directions or leave the toilet seat up. Ha ha, how funny. It's not like I haven't heard that a million times before.

I'll never understand why people think Ben Stiller's "I'm a Woody Allen wannabe that somehow always ends up wrestling stuffed animals" comedy is entertaining.

And yes, the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey is up there. I mean, wtf???

Post your mysteries here.

I'll never understand the fascination with MTV, Paris Hilton, American Idol and about a million other American pop culture icons.

I will never understand why people think Monty Python is funny. That goes for Jim Carrey movies, and a whole slew of other "funny" films. They are not funny to me at all and I find them rather dull and annoying.

I will never understand why people think all of the plethora of Flash animation is cool, witty, exciting, amusing, funny or worthwhile.





OOOH! And what Sac said.

The fact that you mentioned Jim Carey in the same context as Monty Python........sigh

I'll never understand my own desire to be cruel sometimes. But it's there, and it's a hungry animal, I tell yah. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to repress because, ultimately, my desire to be kind is stronger.

I'll never understand why some people only listen to one kind of music.

I don't understand why there needs to be a distinction between low and high art. I'm just f**king glad when it's art people are making, and not bombs.

Speaking of bombs, I don't understand why everyone on the planet can't seem to agree that nuclear disarmament and the promise to NEVER build a nuke again is absolutely the best, most wonderful option for us all. I understand it may be impossible to end the war instinct, but we can at least avoid a global catastrophe, can't we?

I also don't understand why 80's fasion EVER had to rear its GROTESQUE head again in this decade.

I do, however, understand why anise toothpaste makes my mouth feel numb. At least I understand that.

I'll never understand why they are not from the same pot of burnt stew.

I'll never understand why people wacth 'Fear Factor' and 'The Bachelor/ette'. Or any reality series for that matter. I don't even know why I watched 'Battle of the Sexes' on MTV....

Um....just guessing here, but could it have been a shirtless Mark or a jump roping Eric?

I don't understand how people can be so judgemental about what other people like or dislike.

Except country music. Who on EARTH would like that crap? I mean REALLY!! :D

People with a heart of goo.

And not a heart of bone-rotting-death, like YOUR heart, CLAIRE! Heh.

I love me some Highwaymen, Kenny Rogers (c'mon...The Gambler!!!), Patsy, etc. Old school country. Sweet balm on my soul, it is. Plus, it goes GREAT with whiskey.

I agree with you. Ben Stiller tries way too hard. I remember watching his half hour sketch comedy series, which was funny at the time. I just don't get why him playing the same kind of gaffauish type comedy keeps generating so much box office.

Robert DeNiro's choice of film roles the last few years.

The pick and roll. Nathan has explained it to me dozens of times. I will never understand the concept. And I am sure he will explain it to me a few hundred more times of the course of our lives.

Why people who don't like kids become teachers, espcially preschool teachers.
