Anyone else here like to shout at the telly? I find it quite cathartic.

Yes. Especially quiz shows.

I love a good shout at the telly, particularly if an annoying politician comes on.

contrmary · 21/01/2021 14:36

Not out loud. I just let the rage build up inside my head. The only times I make noises towards the television are laughter (increasingly rarely) and the awkward "aahhhhh" noise when you think you might just have witnessed a fatality.

HilaryBriss · 21/01/2021 14:38

Not often although lately I've found that the ITV afternoon quiz show Lingo makes me shout quite a lot...

I prefer to scream at the Sistine Chapel, personally.

LetItGoGo · 21/01/2021 14:41

I argue (reasonably imo) so that makes me madder than you op!

Rockhopper81 · 21/01/2021 14:43

I don't really shout too much, but I have lots to say about game show contestants...I can't really be trusted anymore, it makes me irrationally annoyed, so I try not to watch them...

@WineInTheWillows 😂😂

UpShutTheFuck · 21/01/2021 15:10

Can you not just shout like the rest of us?

Trouba · 21/01/2021 15:12

Only when Richard Osman comes on and then I faint afterwards.

I suppose the time taken to achieve catharsis would depend on one's emotional state. 🤔

😂 Oh god, that was a good thread wasn't it! 😆
CandidaAlbicans2 · 21/01/2021 15:57

No screaming here, but I do often eye roll and comment. It's usually stuff like "FFS call for backup!" during crime dramas 🙄

I did quite a bit during the daily briefings -dh started turning them off when brining me run didn't help calm me down.

I shouted at Trump a lot too.

I hope to be calmer this year

That was supposed to say Rum!

My dd does shout 'stalker, weirdo or inappropriate' at quite a bit of 'rim com' films - I may have overdone the feminism a bit around her.HmmWinkGrin
