Not aibu just intrigued. This thread was done on here ages ago and it was so fun. I have two:

Pasta is gross, I'll eat it but its not delicious as people make it out to be its cold slimy dough.

I'm sure she's nice but Beyonce is overrated.

Harry Potter stuff - shite

& Star Wars

Chimps are creepy. Dolphins are smug little swimming fuckers.

They should all get in the bin and let the gorillas and the whales take over their eco-systems.

Well yes. I've never eaten a cat but I've eaten birds.

My GC love Blackpool, so do I, it's my destination of choice as a december weekend get-away. We go the same weekend every year. I like weatherspoons eggs benedict with a £1.50 refillable coffee and good WiFi, you can't go wrong.

This sounds lush

Your phrasing was fine really, it was just my lame attempt at a joke x

French food is boring and wine (even “good” wine) tastes like vinegar.

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 19/02/2024 21:04

Alcohol should be banned like drugs. All alcohol. It changes the way it makes you feel or act like a drug does. The world would be a much better place for it.

LimeViewer · 19/02/2024 21:05

I agree with almost every one of these so far.
Especially hate dogs, David Tennant is not attractive in any way, and sloths are very odd looking (still much much better than dogs though as a naturally existing animal rather than a range if frankenwolves we created to serve us).

Well, we all know how this ends. It's only been 24 hours since the last attempt was deleted, so I give this one an hour tops

Oh god I genuinely had no idea there was another thread? I imagine someone didn't post a light hearted unpopular opinion but hope that this one stays pleasant and inoffensive!

Happy valley was dull and smug

Going to the cinema is overrated. Quite exciting when you're a child, but an uncomfortable way to view films as an adult.

Alcohol should be banned like drugs. All alcohol. It changes the way it makes you feel or act like a drug does. The world would be a much better place for it.

The only reason I don’t agree with this is the practicalities would not be feasible. I agree that alcohol is pretty pernicious and the upsides are hugely overstated.

Tbf I laughed then told my son. Who laughed then told me about the horsemeat saga

Love Island overlooked by the BAFTAs.

Again.

Travesty!

Mint sauce & yorkshires belong on all roast dinners.

Whole heartedly agree, and mayonnaise

Love island is overrated and very annoying

I think Sex and the City was an absolute pile of vacuous shite.

agreed

BMXsummoner · 19/02/2024 21:09

The word ‘poorly’ is twee and childish and should be banned

Mushroo · 19/02/2024 21:10

Instant coffee is perfectly nice, and sometimes I prefer it to the real thing.

Freddoflation · 19/02/2024 21:10

Chain coffee shops are fine (not great) and serve a purpose. Lots of people don't have independents or do but they aren't everywhere we use regular, like shopping centers, service, out of town leisure and retail. Also load of indies open late and close early.

Jenpeg · 19/02/2024 21:10

I really dislike dolphins

MCOut · 19/02/2024 21:10

Another cinema one. The best cinema trips are solo, late night, midweek showings when there is no one else seeing the film.

Loubelle70 · 19/02/2024 21:10

Hate big bang theory 🫢... A weak attempt at humour aimed at geeks but the geeks i know realise its simple and pretty mainstream. Some who watch it think theyre smart, because they watch it. Ugh

Angelof29th · 19/02/2024 21:11

Afternoon tea is a load of bollox, whoever thought “I know what I’ll do to have good time, go and eat a tiny quiche” it’s so boring and I’d rather be in the pub.
