Do You Shout at the TV?

[mrs_overall]

If you do, what sets you off?

[tank1960]

yeah when the football is on

[joggerjayne]

Shouting at the telly?

Now, that would just be silly.

Unless Ski Sunday is on.

[CailinDeas]

Bad English, especially when the word "cavalcade" is used when the word "motorcade" is meant.
By the way I regularly shout at the vacuum cleaner, which can be very disobedient!!!

[ttfn]

All sorts, but particularly:

grammatical errors - e.g. the BBC's falling standards '..none were injured'
it is '..none was injured' for goodness sake!

countless trailers for programmes - thuddddddddddd

I either say 'not on this ruddy set!'

or, occasionally 'Well, you have put me right off it now. Think you have shown me a time lapse version of the whole programme and have left nothing to the imagination.'

As for football - I had better not repeat what I say.

Just a variation on a theme but yes. Saturday at the 6 Nations Rugby.

Also shout "hooray!" when we are leaving Whitby for Home.

[sunny-dave]

Yes ttfn - almost as bad as the trailers are the constant internal 'looks ahead' within any documentary/magazine programme these days - as if we can't be trusted to actually watch the whole thing unless they keep teasing us with the good bits.

Countryfile (potentially a decent programme sometimes) is a particularly bad serial offender and hence virtually unwatchable without shouting ...

[DTCwordfan]

Nope

Seven tellies later.

[Wharton]

ttfn - I had to laugh - my favourite is "not in here, you're not"

My brother-in-law despised Gordon Brown with a vengeance. He often said that one day he’ll put his foot through the screen when Brown was shown pontificating about his latest plan to save the world (whilst impoverishing most taxpayers). He said this so many times that his wife and daughter decided to buy him an old TV set for twenty quid and set it up in his garden on budget afternoon. They invited a few friends round for drinks and my brother-in-law took the greatest delight, pint of beer in hand, in pumping his size nine boot through the screen as Mr Brown was about to “commend his budget to the House”.

Happy Days !!!

Wharton - I cleaned my answer up, just a tad ;)

[Caran]

Football, rugby, in fact any sport.
Shouty man with silly green frilly coat selling double glazing.
Silly women watching corrie upside down on sofa.
Pontificating lying politicians.
