It honestly bums me out when people admit they've never read HP and have no interest in ever righting this terrible, terrible wrong. It makes me want to give you hair pets and a soft kitty to cuddle while I tie you to a chair to HEAR THE MAGIC that will make your life infinitely better. It's MAGIC, people. MAGIC!
That being said, I've never seen The Princess Bride.
I read history novels and bodice rippers with corsets and vouchers from Almacks. And that's about it. It's terrible really.
90s TV. I've watched friends a couple times, same with Seinfeld, but I couldn't quote any of it. I think I saw 1 Buffy episode.
I don't know anything about pop music from the last 10+ years.
I know next to nothing about most sports.
If something happened in the summer in the 80s or 90s I probably don't know about it. That's when I would live with family that had no access to TV or news. I remember the on case only because someone with a bootleg satellite recorded it and passed it around the island.

In all seriousness I feel like Tarantino you're into or not. I love basically everything that creepy fuck has done, but I can see why his work isn't everyone's cup of tea.
We all know Grindhouse was shit. It's okay to admit it.
Also, I love what Rob Zombie does and what Robert Rodriquez does that isn't for children. (Seriously, Robert, you fucking owe me for Shark Boy and Lava Girl, you fucking asshole.)
Nah, man. Homegirl had a gun for a leg! Also it brought us Machete & potentially Werewolf Women of the SS. Rob will hook me up one day.

This line alone made Machete Kills entirely worth it.
I fucking LOVE Amy Sedaris. And David Sedaris but that's another topic for another day.
I have none interest in HP. At all. Nor do I care for Twilight.
I'm one of those people who hasn't always seen everything but I still know what happens. Like, I've never seen HP but I know what's up. That's need-to-know information so I can have a conversation about it if necessary.
All I know about The Walking Dead is that Carl is always missing. Fucking Carl, man.
I haven't seen a single minute of TWD after the second season and I still know. I also didn't make it to Pete Campbell's wedding and I know all about Mad Men.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who knows things.
But really, it's fucking Lori who is the problem. WATCH YOUR DAMNED KID, YO!
YES. This is what I was trying to say. I know things. I just haven't seen them.
I am so glad to find other people who can't with Whedon. I have tried. It's all crap 90s bad cable melodrama.
I tell my babies there's no crying in being a baby.
Most modern music. Like I couldn't name a Bieber song with a gun to my head (I'm ok with this). If I'm listening to music it's 50's and 60's, though I might switch it up occasionally and listen to some 80's or some musicals.
I didn't think the Harry Potter series was that good. The world building was decent, but the story kind of meh. I love the fantasy genre though.
Reality TV, pretty much the only reality tv I watch is the Halloween challenge on the Food Network every year, where the make cool looking things out of Cake, candy and pumpkins.
I missed out on a lot of American History, the Vietnam War and the Korean War are both big blank spots in my head. I know who fought the basics of why, but that's about it.
Sports anything. My brothers who both live for sports trivia love playing a game where I have to guess if the person they name is a work client, or a sports star, or I have to guess what sport the player is in. I can name maybe five football players off the top of my head (I do only slightly better if it's multiple choice), same for pretty much all the others, even my knowledge of the names of teams is pretty bad. I just have no interest in the subject, and when I hear anyone start talking about it, it very quickly becomes like listening to Charlie Brown's teacher.
Trendy Clothing Stores/Brands (as a kid/teen). I literally knew nothing about these for the longest time. I remember as a freshman in high school we had some in class discussion one day of brands, and I didn't recognize half of them Delia's, Aeropostale, American Eagle, Hollister (had never heard of them), my classmates thought I was insane. I always just went into a department store and found clothes that fit and were priced decently, it never occurred to me to look at who made them. This and my lack of knowledge about modern music explains why I was never considered one of the cool/popular kids.
My greatest achievement in living under a rock came the day that I discovered the dancing Smiley Face commercials were in fact Walmart commercials. They had been playing on tv for years, the Smiley Face would dance and whistle, and knock down prices. It wasn't until I walked into a Walmart (we had just had one built in our town), I was a freshman or sophomore maybe in college so (2002/3?) and I saw the smiley faces on some of the store posters that I put the two together. By that time, the smiley face had been used in the commercials for what... maybe 3 or 4 years at least? I was home visiting, and I remember my mother looking at me with two heads, as I exclaimed "Oh, the smiley face is a Walmart thing".
I just sort of tune out during commercials, and I never pay attention. My husband teases that I am a marketing executive's worst nightmare. Food brands are really the only brands I've every paid attention to, well that and makeup brands now, thank you makeup thread!

Except those who haven't read HP need to just read the series. I can't hate on the haters though. H tried to read it and said it was awful. I still married him.

Oh! I've never watched most classic movies like Gone with the Wind or Casablanca. I hate watching movies unless they are funny. Hence The Naked Gun being my favorite lol.
But I have seen Buffy the movie since Luke Perry was in it.
here this one is a great example: 36 "Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!"[12] "Gold Hat" Alfonso Bedoya The Treasure of the Sierra Madre 1948
"we dont need no stinkin badges!!" said in an episode of Salute Your Shorts a young majorwife saw back in the day.
OMG Salute Your Shorts! Did you just.
Camp Anawana, we hold you in our hearts. And when we think about you, it makes me wanna fart!
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
I can't with The Big Lebowski. WHY is that film so famous???
I have no idea what Zac Efron's voice even sounds like. I don't know any Justin Bieber or Selena Gomez songs.
One Direction. True Blood. Girls (the series). Fast and Furious movies. 24 (the series). Teen Mom. The Apprentice. Lana del Rey. Tom Hardy. Morrissey. Smurfs. Nirvana. REM.
Saw one episode of House of Cards and fell asleep.

No Tom Hardy??
Monty Python is something you either like or would like to see outlawed by the terms of the Geneva Convention. It's not something you should introduce to your preteen son if you want to like him most of the time. Just sayin'.
