What problem or situation...😨


...did TV or movies make you think might be common, but when you grew up you found out it wasn’t?

I sometimes worried about quicksand. Has anyone here even seen quicksand??

And TV and movie dogs are so smart! They can tell you when Timmy falls in a well and needs help, fetch sleepers and bring in the newspaper. My dog is a dumb ass, all he cares about is chasing birds and cats, sniffing butt and who is eating cheese.

reply

Yeah...Movie dogs are so awesome
Real dogs...not so helpful (they are usually licking their own balls or causing an ungodly racket)

reply

Oh yeah! On tv, the kid who runs after a cat or dog and gets in trouble never gets punished or killed because of it. Or worse, kids on tv get away with not listening to their parents. That isn't true in real life by any stretch of the imagination.

Sex too soon problem. A couple has just finished having sex and they lie there talking for a few minutes. Then they start making out and are about to have sex again and the camera cuts away. It takes longer than that I don't care how hot you are.

Yes, a short nap and a nosh is required

Flying over a collapsed bridge in a cool car...not even once:(

reply

Aw, come on. There's at least one movie that says you can do that in a bus!

reply

I'm not as awesome as Keanu though...I would have crashed the bus and killed all of those commuters:(

200 movies later...No goddamn Zombies🤨

reply

Uh, that's fine with me.

reply

Fair point👍
Zombies would simplify everything though!

Every time I'm at the bank I expect the dude at the front of the line to pass the robbery note...'keep calm, I have a loaded .38, put all of your twenties in this pillowcase...'

I take note of every EXIT⬅️ at the bank because of movies!

I have yet to break my leg in combat and say to the squad 'Go on without me, I'll hold them off'

That would be Boss-Level Yo!

reply

Goes along with a bullet to the chest - oh, it's just a flesh wound.

reply

Gotta love the movies...shot in the leg, keep sprinting like an Olympian

I stub my toe and I need a ten minute lie down!

reply

I've somehow managed to not get murdered by a clown yet
If I spot a clown within 200 yards of my property line I'm getting my .35 Marlin lever action and wasting him💥💥💥

Two of the biggest lies about human nature I have seen on tv while growing up were these:

1.) When someone "wins" an argument, the other person does not stand there, looking stupid and stunned, and allow you to walk away. In real life, they follow you, not wanting to admit they had lost, and demand another round.

2.) Friends do not just fall out of the blue and stick to you loyally for life. Too often I have seen in tv, video games, and movies, where a person just happens to show up and become friends with the protagonist for the rest of the show or movie. In real life, you have to put effort into it, and chances are, most people are jerks who do not appreciate kindness or a long-term relationship with someone who doesn't offer them anything material out of it. Most people are LUCKY if they find even ONE decent person who can be friends with them.
