Aibu to start a thread about popular things that you just don’t get!

[LondonElle]

I will start....

Mum- bloggers
Friends ( tv show)
Spas

Will probably think of more at some point
( this is meant to light-hearted and I appreciate everyone has different opinions)

I love Mrs Brown’s Boys, I find it hilarious. I’m very into the Goons, who my dad loves. I find the humour similar.

I really don't understand Mrs Brown's Boys.

But but but The Goons was in the flippin' 1950's.

There were only a couple of TV stations.

Mrs Brown's Boys is (apparently) filmed now.

Why?

Skiing
Center Parcs
Shots
New outfits for every occasion
AI resorts
German cars

Well, what I am taking from this thread is that there'll be more gin, beards and Tom Hardy left for me

Can't believe someone said Jaffa Cakes.

Jeggings. Can't understand the love for them on MN.

Subway

People who photograph every meal and put it on social media - even worse if they caption it with 'Nom nom nom'.
If it's your wedding cake or a truly extraordinary meal (say a dustbin-lid-sized meal when you visit Texas), then fine.
If it's the McD's Happy Meal that you have at least once a week - one of millions sold that day - just why would you?
Still, I suppose it's better them posting a picture of the food before it goes in rather than after it comes out again. Maybe that's the logical conclusion of this ridiculous trend - boak!

Families
Ski-ing
Cruises
Boden
Coldplay/Winehouse/Sheeran/Mumford and Sons/Ellie Goulding
