Episode 87 - You Gonna Read This or No?

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When someone asks a question with two possible outcomes, a positive or negative state, and they say "or no", when they really mean, "or not".  Here's what I talkin' about: "You gonna finish those fries or no?" "I'm going to the grocery store.  You need anything or no?" "I'm ordering pizza.  You want some or no?" "Do you like Chinese food or no?" You get the idea.  The correct word is NOT.  OR NOT.  You gonna finish those fries o

Episode 74 - G5

I'm gonna say this only once.  Listen up, because, assuming that what we think we know about the G5 movie is accurate, this will by my first, last, and final word on G5, ever. Y'know what really grinds my gears?  The fact that anyone actually thought it would be a good idea to take the world of Equestria at the end of FIM, feed it to a hippopotamus, wait til the hippo takes a sh*t, then scoop up the sh*t, smear it all over a movie screen and call it good. Okay, what in Tartarus am I ta

Episode 75 - Hot Water Heaters

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  The phrase "hot water heater".  I hear that a lot.  Drives me nuts.  So... it heats hot water?  Is that what it does?  Really?  I got news for you, bub: if the water is hot... THEN IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE HEATED!!

Episode 124 - "Breakfast" Foods

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  "Breakfast" foods.  First off, for some odd reason, I hate all traditional American breakfast foods.  It's so weird that I would hate all of them, but it's like someone put some kind of curse on me where it makes me hate any food that is universally agreed upon to be traditional breakfast food.  So, I'm talkin' about waffles, pancakes, eggs prepared in any way other than hard-boiled, ham, bacon, sausage, hash browns, etc.  I can kind of tolerate some of

Episode 94 - Unexplained Magic in Shows

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When shows can't decide what the hell they want to be. So, I can't frickin' stand it when they throw magic into shows where it doesn't belong, for no reason, and with no explanation.  Okay, so I've gone on many a rant about this with friends and family, and I always need to make something clear from the get-go: I have absolutely nothing against magic in shows.  I mean, hello!  Equestria to Justin Case!  Duh-doy!    Magic is fine.  It's great.  But

Episode 149 - When Characters Can't Tell Their Parents Their "Secret"

This episode contains moderate spoilers for H2O: Just Add Water, and Littlest Pet Shop. Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When young TV characters have some kind of big "secret", but they can never tell their parents.  I'm talking about, like, kid superheroes and the like.  Y'know, secret identities 'n' sh*t.  So, like, take Miraculous Ladybug for instance,  Marinette can't tell her parents that she's the superhero Ladybug.  WHY THE F*CK NOT??!  You can't tell me it's for their pro

Episode 138 - Gender Reveals

I'm probably gonna take some heat for this one, but I don't care. Y'know what really grinds my gears?  Gender reveals.  Especially the big, lavish parties.  The entire concept of elaborate gender reveals is one of the stupidest, most asinine things humanity has ever created, and is one of the things that has probably caused super advanced aliens to look at us from orbit and go, "nope", and continue on their merry way. Yeah, let's spend a bunch of money and resources and pollute the env

Episode 133 - Kraydoze

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When people mispronounce Kratos's name.  Y'know, from God of War.  They get lazy and slur it, turning the t into a soft d, and the s into a z.  "Kray-doze".  "Kraydoze".  Drives me friggin nuts.  You have to annunciate a hard t and distinct s.  "Kray-tose".  Say "kray", then pretend you're going to say the word "toast", but leave the last t off.  Kray-toas.  Not Kray-doze.  Not Crate-O's.  Kray-toas.  Toas.  Not Doze, not O's.  TOAS.  Kratos is the bade

Episode 125 - Inching Out Before the Light Changes

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When drivers stopped at a red light take their foot off the brake and start coasting out into the intersection, inching their nose out before the light turns green.  I hate this behavior so, SO f*cking much.  WHY DO YOU GOTTA DO THAT??!!  WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO F*CKING IMPATIENT??!!  It's not gonna get you there any faster!!  Do these ding dongs actually think that they're saving tons of time??  IT DOES NOTHING!!  Why can't you just chill the f*ck out

Episode 99 - fin

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  The fact that no show, movie, game, franchise, or story of any kind ever has a definitive ending anymore.  I'm talking' about the rampant trend of reviving, rebooting, continuing, and resurrecting franchises ad infinitum.  I'm talkin' about the fact that no matter what show or movie it is, no matter what story, no matter how it ended, and no matter how long ago it ended, no matter how long it's been resting in peace, Hollywood will still dig it up, resu

Episode 116 - Sosal Security

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When people pronounce "social security" as "sosal security".  They slur it, y'know?  But I don't even understand it, because I don't think "sosal" is any easier to say, even when you're saying the term quickly.  Sometimes people even say "sosa security".  Drives me nuts.  Anyway, that's it.  Shortest GMG in history.   Okay, I'll give you a couple more.  I hate it when people pronounce "million" and "Williams" as "meen" and "weems". Okay,

Episode 102 - Cartoon Crying

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When cartoons characters cry projectile tears.   ...Huh, didn't really mean to make a rhyme there.  I hate it when cartoon characters are crying and they shoot out massive arcing waterfalls that flood the room and then the other characters go by in a rowboat with raincoats and umbrellas.  Now, I'm not at all averse to a slapstick show if that's show's entire foundation such as Rocko's Modern Life, but I'm talking about when they do it in show that

Episode 108 - Youtube Shorts

Oh, sweet Celestia does this one piss me off...  Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  Youtube shorts.  If I wanted Tik Tok, then I'd go to f*ckin' Tik Tok.  I go to youtube because I want f*ckin' youtube. Why are there no Celestia-damned controls?  Why is there no seeker bar?  Why can't I scrub through the video?  Okay, I really want to know just one thing.  Somebody please explain this to me.  Why is there no volume??  I can only mute it.  It's on or off.  Why is there no slide

Episode 86 - Baby "Yoda"

Mandalorian spoiler warning, obviously. Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  This baby "Yoda" thing.  Okay, I get why people called him that for a brief time, but even early on it was pretty frigging obvious that it wasn't Yoda.  Y'know.... because it wasn't NINE HUNDRED YEARS IN THE PAST.  I mean, for one episode I briefly wondered if that could have been the case, but it would be pretty suspicious for all technology to be completely unchanged for a millennium.  But by the end of the

Episode 110 - Prog

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  Prog.  It just annoys me because I don't know what in the flying f*ck the word means.  I hear it constantly  I mean, I always assumed it was short for either progress or progressive, but that can't be the end of it.  I hear it in so many ways and in so many contexts that nothing makes any sense.  I mean, I literally don't know what part of speech it even is.  Is it a noun?  A verb?  Adjective?  Preposition?!  What?  I don't know!!  People use it like it

Episode 141 - Chocolate Chip Cookies Today

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  Chocolate chip cookies today.  I feel like it's so hard to find a really good one.  I swear, I haven't had a really good chocolate chip cookie in 30 years.  Mrs. Fields' semi-sweet used to be my favorite as a kid, but they started to slip around 2000 or so.  They suck today.  And it's not just me--they used to be mom's favorite when I was a kid, too, and now she doesn't like 'em, either.  They really went downhill. When my parents were young and da

Episode 109 - UI Changes Pt. 2

I already did an episode on UI changes, but I hate this so much that it requires a second part.  The hate cannot be contained. You know what really grinds my gears?  Unnecessary software UI changes.  Now, I realize that software needs to be updated and maintained.  I get that, and that's fine.  I also realize that sometimes UI changes are necessary and good.  I get that, and that's fine.  I still hate dealing with the changes, but I do in fact deal with it.  But what I can't f*cking stand i

Episode 114 - Magic Superhero Outfit Transformations

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When superheroes or similar characters make outfits/costumes appear magically when that's clearly not part of their powers.  The best example that every here will know is when the Equestria girls use their friendship laser powers and it gives them all magnificent superhero costumes that look like they took Rarity months to design.  Why is that part of the power?  Makes no sense.  And how about good ol' Elsa making her dress during Let It Go?  She's Icem

Episode 96 - Miraculous Episode Order

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  The totally f*cked order of Miraculous episodes. Anyone following my main blog already knows that I'm a huge Miraculous Ladybug fan.  I've been catching up on the second half of the new season.  (That'd be S4)  But the order of the episodes is totally f*cked!  It's on Disney+, but last time I checked, only 20 of the 26 episodes are on there.  The last six are missing!  It should all be there by now.  But regardless, the order of the episodes are wr

Episode 148 - Getting Your Sleeve Wet

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  Accidentally getting a little wet spot on your sleeve.  Y'know, like when you're washing your hands or something.  It's the f*cking worst.  No matter what you do, you can't get it dry.  You blow it with the hair dryer for an eternity, and it feels dry, so you move on go back to what you were doing, and what happens?  You feel the telltale damp spot on your wrist.  So you go back to the hair dryer again, and it feels dry, but you can't really tell becaus

Episode 128 - Nacho Cheese Sauce

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When restaurants list "cheese" on an item but it's actually nacho cheese sauce.  Look, I'm not necessarily averse to nacho cheese sauce.  I typically only like dipping chips in it without any other ingredients, but the point is that if it's sauce then it should say sauce.  If I order nachos that say "topped with ground beef, lettuce, beans, and cheese", then I expect CHEESE.  GRATED CHEESE.  Not f*ckin' sauce.  If it says cheese then it should be cheese

Episode 39 - When Computers Can't Count

OMG, this one's the worst. Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When some computers and devices can't count properly.  Okay, so if you're titling a bunch of files, and you number them, and then you sort by name, you'd expect them to appear in numerical order, right?  I mean, that's how it works.  Like, if you're using Windows, and you have a folder full of pictures from your camping trip, you can select all of them, and retitle the first one "Camp", and then it will automatically retitle al

Episode 85 - Packaging That Ruins the Product

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  Packaging that damaging the freakin' product.  I just bought a brand new PS4 game at Game Stop (new as in not pre-owned).  The case had one of those clear stickers over the side that opens.  You know how they always do that, to seal it and lock it closed until you get it home and peel the sticker off, y'know?  Well, I peeled the sticker off and it left this horrendous, thick, sticky, gummy crap all over the case!  This time I was able to clean it off re

Episode 107 - Netflix Removing Stuff

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When Netflix removes stuff with little warning. Now, don't get me wrong, I still love having Netflix, and I'm not pissed off about them simply removing stuff.  I understand that the stuff that's not their own IP is only temporary.  They sign a contract to have something they don't own put on there for a specific amount of time, and then it's gone and then something else comes on for awhile.  And I know it varies by region.  I understand all that.

Episode 120 - Fairy Tale Episodes

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  Episodes of shows where the characters play other characters in some story that didn't happen and doesn't serve to further any plot or character development.  I'm talking about episodes where they contrive some reason for one of the characters to tell a story (like the power going out), and then they proceed to read some fairy tale where each of the characters from the actual show are reimagined as the fairy tale characters in a one-off story that serve
