Lighthearted, give me your unpopular opinions.

I can start;

The musical Hamilton and Star Wars are over rated.

Begone punk rocker girl! Heretic!!!! Signed, Tink’s dog.

Bopping298 · 29/03/2021 11:35

Yeah Hamilton watched it on telly stopped halfway through! It was ok but $500 for a ticket on broadway? Nah mate

MaryIsA · 29/03/2021 11:36

I like prosecco too, loved the fact in Venice it's served by the half carafe, and not just to tourists.

But tbf I'll happily drink most things.

Hamilton wasn't my cup of tea.

Bopping298 · 29/03/2021 11:37

I think dogs are unclean and annoying. I don't understand why people think they're a family member. I understand why you'd love a pet but some people's entire personality is just DOG

Agree with this ^ annoys me when people treat dogs as if they are children, get really weirdly possessive about their dog in the park, talk loads about their dogs ... really no one gives a crap

I bought a rubber floor brush after recommendations here. It's unbelievably shite!

You didn't get a Leifheit one, I bet! It MUST be a Leifheit rubber brush, not just any old rubber brush.
Anyway... here's my unpopular opinion:

Panel shows are really just career graveyards for comedians... except for 8 of 10 cats (the one panel show exempt from criticism).

Sweetcorn is yuck.

Sweetcorn in a sandwich is a nasty thing to do.

Sweetcorn in a sort of batter fritter advertised as a veggie burger when it isn't is a hate crime.

Most dogs are inbred/ disgustingly bred for the buyer’s amusement. No French bulldogs didn’t used to look like that and yes yours will probably die of heart/ breathing problems because you bought it to look weird. Same with all bull dogs, German shepherds, daschunds... it should be banned. Google is your friend, if you want to see what these breeds used to look like

Love asti!

The NHS is terrible (although most doctors and nurses are great)
The British are obsessed with alcohol
Most wine is horrible
You can't change your sex
Nobody has written better 'pop' music than the Beatles
Lotteries are the primary cause of gambling addiction

I feel better already!

LST · 29/03/2021 11:44

The Kinks are better than The Beatles

DynamoKev · 29/03/2021 11:45

@HypocrisyDoubleStandardsMess

Opera singing is highly overrated - just people singing in an exaggerated manner and screaming for no reason.
Thank god someone else thinks this.

It's a fucking horrible noise (mostly).

DynamoKev · 29/03/2021 11:45

@LST

The Kinks are better than The Beatles
Agreed.
PassMeTheWotsits · 29/03/2021 11:46

Ant and Dec are not funny

Harry Potter is shit, and Daniel Radcliffe can’t act

the NHS seems to be run as a way to put up as many signs as possible telling us all we can't use it at present.

"Signing your cards including your pets' names is really, really lame"

No more lame than including the baby's name surely?

DynamoKev · 29/03/2021 11:47

@PassMeTheWotsits

Ant and Dec are not funny

Harry Potter is shit, and Daniel Radcliffe can’t act

Agreed - except Radcliffe has been good in a couple of things I've seen.

Opera used to be written and performed for the poorer in society then the middle classes took it over. The poor realized it was a pile of poo and was happy to let them think it was something worth listening to!

AndromedaGal · 29/03/2021 11:53

Women are more attracted to bad boys than nice boys

Gwenhwyfar · 29/03/2021 11:58

@ThatOtherPoster

If you drink wine at home during the week, you’re an alcoholic seeking to blot out the suppressed misery of your existence.
Ha ha ha.
MooseBreath · 29/03/2021 11:59

Bake-Off is beyond dull.

Gin and Prosecco taste awful.

Ed Sheeran can't rap and isn't a good lyricist.

Gardening is boring.

School exams should be worth significantly less than coursework.

MinnieMous3 · 29/03/2021 12:01

Since you asked 😬

I think people are having children too late
I don’t think conceiving after having unprotected sexual can be called an ‘unplanned pregnancy’
Cats shouldn’t be allowed to roam and shit in other people’s gardens
London is horrific and I don’t understand why anyone wants to live there (ditto Stoke on Trent)
I think the name Ottilie is awful
I’m fine with people popping by, or calling without giving me prior notice
I like Prosecco
I think people who buy flat faced puppies are scum
I use fabric softener
I let my toddler watch cartoons
I don’t find Tom Hardy attractive
I think a lot of MN woes could be sorted with a good dose of ‘stop moaning about things you can change’

PatsyStone39 · 29/03/2021 12:01

Woke people should be put on their own little island to stop them annihilating the rest of the world.

Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady · 29/03/2021 12:01

The Beatles are way over rated

Notjustanymum · 29/03/2021 12:02

Hamilton the Musical was awful
La-La Land was even more awful
The Greatest Showman was the most awful of all
Mariah Carey can’t sing
Soap operas are all terrible
Chris Packham is better than David Attenborough (more down to earth, less saint-like)

FooFighter99 · 29/03/2021 12:06

@RUOKHon

I think it’s really weird that people own massive dogs and live with them in their houses. Like, big dogs that are big enough to kill you if they decided they wanted to. I can’t get my head round it.

Also Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the worst songs ever written. And all music festivals are shit.

Aww we had a giant Rottweiler for 10 years (got him at 6months) and he passed away last March

He was the biggest softie and used to sleep in bed with me when DH was on nights
