Guilty Pleasures Thread

This one is starting to annoy me...
imgad?id=CMyp95L0zOq_gAEQeBjCBDIIpG2xd7m1zAA.jpg


I am okay with the blue Man Group ad though.
 
Watching VH1, HGTV and the Style Channel used to be guilty pleasures to the point that if anyone else came in the room I would change the channel. I'm sure they thought I was watching porn at some point because it happened so often lol. That Niecy Nash woman from Clean House... there's just somethin about her ;). Anyway, since then VH1 now sucks and the other to have become pleasures I enjoy constantly and unashamedly :D
 
I've got a guilty pleasure: This chick in the migraine ad that keeps popping up in the left pane for some reason is pretty doggone hot. I'm bout ready to cure her headache, John Redcorn style

Brilliant.


Guilty pleasures? Madden. Goldfish Crackers. Fail book.

But all I can think of right now is chasing a scantily clad Rachel Ray around a kitchen trying to stuff her like a turkey.
 
A lot of modern music. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, few more...

Oh, and Jersey Shore.

Katy Perry's voice is just grating to me, especially on her new album material. Her older songs I find more tolerable.

The rest of your list, minus Taylor Swift (just not my flavor) I happen to like as well.
 
I love watching people come down to the beach, set up their towels, and chairs, paying careful attention to make sure their towels are all flat, and then when they go into the water, I love watching the seagulls go right into their bags and snag their giant family size bag of dorritos and completely devour it. Most of the time, it not only disappears, but the birds swarm on it and completely destroy their towels with bird crap. I love it.

Another guilty pleasure I have is watching people who are learning out to surf paddle out laying way too far back on their board. So when a wave comes, they don't try to go under they try to go over it (as every beginner does) and because they are sitting way too far back on their board, the wave just smacks the board in their face. Hilarious.

I also like using our high-powered binoculars to watch the chicks in string bikinis in the water. Nipples are always bound to go flying when they get slammed by a wave, and I'm just the dirty bastard to be there for a peak when they make their appearance.

I also like seeing chicks that think they are hotter than they really are get denied. I could watch that stuff everyday. Man, I should make my own reality show.

Sigh, I'm not a proud man.
 
I was in high school in the 80's and was ashamed of the music. Now I play in a band with a younger guy that thinks 80's music is classic rock. He brings in songs he wants us to do. I'm not the musical snob I used to be and now some of my favorites in the set are:

Hold Me Now-Thompson Twins
Careless Whisper, Faith-George Michael
Livin La Vida Loca, Shake Your Bon Bon-Ricky Martin
Kiss-Prince

There was a time I would never play this stuff, but now I look forward to it and it's usually a big hit with the audience.


I was in Jr. High in the 70's. I loved and still love disco.

Stayin Alive
Get Down Tonight
Grooveline
Shake Your Booty
Funkytown

Of course, none of this compares to "seeing chicks that think they are hotter than they really are get denied."
 
The System
Bobby Brown
Musicals
Gidget
Ambush tackling people
Speaking in funny voices and laughing to myself as I watch people try to avoid me because they think...or know... I have mental problems :p
Mariachi music
