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 19 - "Retro" Games

Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When people call a game old, dated, or retro just because it's like two friggin' years old.  Maybe it's just me, but I have a pretty wide range of what I consider "modern" when it comes to games.  When I think old and retro, I think 8 and 16 bit Nintendo era or older.  The other day I saw some website talking about Halo 3 as being a "retro classic".  I know it probably just makes me sound like an old fogey, but Halo 3 is not a retro classic.  I'm sorry, it's

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 69 - Nonexistent S8 & 9

Hey.  Y'know what really, REALLY grinds my gears?  S8 & 9 of FIM have ceased to exist.  Gone.  Sucked into a void never to return.  Well, sort of.  Okay, so I always buy the DVD sets of each Pony season.  It's important to me to actually own the whole collection.  I have seasons 1-7.  I have been waiting for seasons 8 and 9 for ages.  I assumed they had just been delayed or something.  I haven't checked in quite awhile.  I figured that they must be out by now--S8 at the very least.  Nope.  N

Episode 9 - EG vs EQG

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears? This EQG thing.  ...what?  Oh, no, not the actual franchise.  No, I happen to be a big Equestria Girls fan.  Didn't used to be, but now I love it.  In fact, I denounced it pretty heavily in the beginning, so....I'm a big fat hypocrite, and I don't care.  Twilight cracked horn and I don't care.  I love Equestria Girls to pieces.  So sue me.  What grinds my gears is literally the abbreviation EQG.  Why the "Q"?  So, this is probably just an OCPD thing

Episode 71 - Anartica

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When people pronounce the southern-most continent on our planet "Anartica".  This is so common.  Way more common than the correct pronunciation, and it drives me f*ckin' nuts.  There are two t's and two c's in ANTARCTICA.    And on that note, those same people drop the first c in arctic and say "artic". Other mispronunciations that annoy me: Wolf: "wuf" Sandwich: "samwich" Escape: "excape" Especially: "expecially"

Episode 61 - Holodeck Episodes

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  Every single Star Trek episode where one or more crew members get stranded in the holodeck, and the doors won't open, and the computer won't respond, and they can't shut the power down, and the safety protocols gets stuck off, and the holo characters come to life and become sentient and try to kill 'em, and the crew have to play out some stupid wild west story or medieval story or whatever the sh*t in order to escape.  F*CK THOSE EPISODES, dude.

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 18 - F*ck dis Sh*t

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  The constant, casual profanity in modern American culture.  Now, let's just slow down a second here, and let me make something perfectly clear: I love profanity, I don't think it's inherently bad, and I have nothing against it, generally speaking.  Matter of fact, I think it adds a lot of color and humor to life.  I mean, imagine how dull AVGN and MLP Totally Legit Recap would be without it!  It can just add such nice flair or emphasis.  So, what annoys

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 43 - Asymmetrical AC Plugs

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When an AC plug has the asymmetrical tines where one if fatter than the other so you can only plug it in one way.  Why the hell the gotta do that?!!  Yeah, I know, I know: (*mocking voice*) "Maybe if you did some research and learned why, then you wouldn't have to come here and whine about it!"   Yeah, I know, I know: it's called polarized, and I don't frickin' care.  I don't care why they do it!  It's f*ckin' annoying!  And here's the reason I fin

Episode 54 - Splashing Pee

Only the stallions are gonna get this one. Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When I pee and it splashes out of the bowl.  No matter how I do it, where I aim, or how careful I am, half the time tiny little flecks of urine splash all over the place.  I go barefoot in the house, and I often feel little pinpricks of pee hitting the tops of my feet.  I have to clean them constantly after I go.  It's horrible.  And my shower curtain is right next to the toilet, (only about 8 or so inches away)

Episode 66 - When Characters Don't Take the Shot

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When movie or tv characters don't take the opportunity to kill (or at least incapacitate) their opponent when they have it.  This goes for both good guys and bad guys.  This is such a common Hollywood trope.  It happens constantly.  They bad guy usually has the good guy at his mercy--good guy's on the ground, unarmed, bad guy has the gun pointed at him, and the bad guy then laughs for a bit, then possibly launches into a tirade about how's the best and

Episode 49 - Pushy Employees

My spidey-sense tell me that this one is gonna get me in some hot water.... but f*ck it; I'm doin' it anyway. Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When employees in retail stores get too pushy and intrusive with their questions.  I hate it when they ask questions that try to trap you into a complex response: "What brought you in today?  What are you looking for?"  Buzz off, will you?  And the worst is when they hover outside of a fitting room and ask you if the clothes fit right and how the

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 25 - Sex-Specific Colors

Hey. Y'know what really grinds my gears?  Sex-specific colors.  Y'know, this blue for boys and pink for girls sh*t.  Why is this so ingrained in our culture?  They're just freakin' colors.  Reflected wavelengths of light.  They don't have anything to do with one sex or the other.  Anyone can like any color they want. One of the best examples of this is when I go self-serve frozen yogurt shops.  Every one I've ever been to has green and pink spoons.  Or sometimes it's blue and purple.

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 36 - Tearing Toilet Paper

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When you try to tear one square of toilet paper, and it doesn't tear neatly along the perforated line, and it shreds and makes a mess, and a cloud of paper dust poofs up into the air.  Man, f*ck that sh*t. Well, that was a short one.

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 53 - Change

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears? Change. I hate change.  No, not coins.  Things changing.  People say it's a good thing, but it's not.  I hate when things I'm used to have to change for no good reason.  Change the Butterfinger recipe?  F*ck you.  Discontinue my shampoo?  F*ck you.  Change the way the Steam library looks?  F*ck you.  Take away Ember's World on Fire?  F*ck you.  Nerf my riven dispos?  F*ck you.  Take away my Archwing barrel rolling?  Eat dirt and die.  Change my

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
