Annoying Stuff in Movies and TV (written by the People, mostly)

Hi again. it's time for another blog post, and this time it's about you. That's right, you, the readers. I interviewed William Peace University Students about what annoyed them the most about movies and TV. I was inspired by an old show my parents watched with me when I was a kid. It was called Mystery Science Theatre 3000. It was three guys (then four) commenting about the stupid stuff actors and directors did in bad movies. So they thought I would ask some people whether there were anything annoying they noticed in the movies or TV. I put on my reporter jacket and my fancy microphone (AKA poster board and construction paper), so here's what i came up with.
By far the best part is the seriousness with which they use the microphone. Well, see ya next time. If you like check out my twitter, @laughtaff or my YouTube channel, Laughy Taffy. Special thanks to Halloween Hit Master, Jon Williams, and The Walking Dead for the music.

    Nice post, Laughy Taffy. Dare I say that there is so much more you can add to it?

    In the art of storytelling in Hollywood we pride ourselves on continuity errors and plot holes; and outtakes and bloopers. No really. It's an artform. Truly. All these things make for great reel 6 footage in a film (movies are made up of 5 reels of film) and great Behind the Scenes or Making Of footage.

    To add to your laughs, here are a few references:

    Thanks! I just checked these out, their great. This whole post has made me notice more and more if these silly things that pop up. It's hard to believe that with all the people on continuity you still find silly little mistakes. Thanks for reading and thanks for commenting! 😊

      Once you learn they exist and see them, you can't unsee them. You're ruined for life. :D
