OK, list time. Today, it's a list of the people, characters, or commercials, I'm really done with. The over-exposed, limited-appeal faces and phrases, that I really have had enough of seeing, every time I turn on the television.

I've already covered some of my continuity announcement and TV advert pet-hates, where voice-over guys butcher the English language, as if they were working in Dewhursts, so we'll skip those previous examples.

I'll write a nice piece about fluffy bunnies another day, but for now, let's get cracking with the first five:

The List

1. Ben Stiller - sorry, but playing every role as 'angry/on the verge of an annurism' isn't that great an acting range. The new movie looks like a remake of his old movie. I am so tired of his limited performances, and I really can't see why he continues to be popular. Pushy, loud-mouthed obnoxiousness, just isn't part of my culture, which might explain why I also can't stand Jim Carey, Adam Sandler, and Jim Bruer.

2. Sandra Bullock - waaaay too many teeth for a human. Waaay too many of her movies being shown on network television right now. Is it just me, or does her minimalist acting ability make her the female Keanu Reeves? She's so unconvincing, and lacking of any real feeling, on screen, she's like the actor-equivalent of Celine Dion.

3. The Arby's Oven Mitt character - I can't believe someone got paid an actual salary, and didn't get fired, after coming up with a talking oven mitt. Worse yet, a talking oven mitt, with a smart mouth. To make matters even worse, the mitt's voice and character has all the appeal of Scrappy-Doo.

4. Frank Azar - Ambulance-chaser, lawyer and roasted peanut look-a-like. Frank's adverts have gone from bad to worse lately. The latest batch, have people - claiming to be former clients - thrusting their fists towards the camera, with computer-animated dollar amounts, grafted into their hands, to show us just how much money Frank got them. Nothing says, "Proud to be an American" like suing someone, when bad things happen. Of course what they don't mention is how much (probably a good 40 or 50%) of the settlement, that Mr Peanut-head gets.

5. The Yoplait Yoghurt Bimbos -You know the dizzy airheads I'm talking about. They lounge around, creaming themselves over how good their yoghurt is. "Private Island Good", "I'd Like To Thank The Economy Good", etc. I mean, if the orgasmic height of your day is a pot of yoghurt, you really need to start getting out more. Hell, if the highlight of your meal is the yoghurt, you're not doing the whole lunch thing right.

See part 2, tomorrow.
