When you think about it, TV Land is such a weird place. Characters never seem to finish their meals (and leave most of their food untouched in cafes which hurts me on a personal level), they don’t say ‘goodbye’ when they end their calls, and whenever they switch on the TV, there’s always a news segment on that’s relevant to their situation.

Really, life seems much more convenient on-screen. But it is raising some eyebrows. So much so that the people over on Twitter are posting example after example of how bizarre life is when you’re a film or TV character. Scroll down to check out these funny quirks and remember to upvote the ones that made you pause for a moment.

Pop culture and entertainment expert Mike Sington, who is a former Senior Executive at NBCUniversal, explained to Bored Panda that unrealistic scenarios and acting decisions are required to keep the plot moving on a TV show. "No one wants to see characters eat a full meal, that would bring a storyline to a screeching halt! Things like seeing a relevant news segment playing can immediately fast forward a storyline or emphasize a plot point. It’s a common tool that writers use," he said. And we fully agree. (Though the Joey Tribbiani in all of us is wondering how good the meal has to be to get featured from start to finish.)

The other option would be a 3 hour movie of us watching someone desperately searching for a parking spot and than walking for 10 minutes to the building. Also not fun.

I remember having to circle the block 70 times because I had something reasonably big to carry into a building, and I didn't want to park far away... thing was, it was a bit of a sketchy neighborhood, and for some reason the ladies standing on the street corners started waving at me when they noticed that I was driving by repeatedly.

    I hate shows/movies in which the characters are pushing food around their plates, constantly cutting it but never ever chewing/eating it. I think it's the most egregious on the Big Bang Theory. They have a five minute conversation over a meal and never take a bite. I know it's tv and there are multiple takes and they have their figures to maintain, but use a spit bucket or something. Once you notice it, you will be distracted from anything the characters are saying!

    Mike was brutal but honest in his evaluation of how much excitement there is any single one of our lives. "I’d estimate 80% of your real life would have to edited or rewritten to make it compelling and interesting to watch on screen. That may sound harsh because your real life is interesting to you, but probably not so much to a mass audience."

    He added: "Deep down you know it because you’re only posting the highlights on social media. You’re actually already self-editing your own life for your audience."

It's strange all baddies trained this, granted, but it's not a magical skill.

    We rarely think about how peculiar people act in movies and on TV shows because we’re so used to things that we don’t notice the discrepancies between their behavior and our lives. In other words, we’ve fully absorbed the weirdness and we’re no longer bothered by it… unless somebody on social media reminds us of it.

    The trend seems to have been started by Tom Cox, a British author who was born in Nottinghamshire. He has published nearly a dozen books so far and plans to release 2 more in 2021. Some of the themes that he repeats in his books have to do with cats, golf, folklore, wildlife, local history, rock, and rambling.

We always joke that her daughter figured that 9 months in water was plenty and she wasn't going to do more. It fits with the kid's personality, she was born strong-willed.

If teachers kept us late we definitely wouldn’t have time to get to lockers or to our next class, and forget about hitting the bathroom! The bell signals the end and beginning of class regardless of a teacher’s power trip.

    The planning of teachers is *so* appalling in dramas. Any and all teachers will have paced their lesson so that they have finished everything with a few minutes to spare. No experienced teacher would be in the middle of explaining something important that the pupils need to know when the lesson ended. Also, and I don't know if this is an American thing, but in the UK pupils do not get up and walk out the lesson when the bell goes, whatever the teacher is saying or doing.

    In the UK also. We always had to wait for the teacher to say we were done. We were never kept waiting so that we were late for class or anything (only the naughty kids were kept behind). It was just considered polite, a courtesy. There was always enough time to get between classes, visit lockers etc.

    I've often thought those of us not as physically attractive are actually better off. Often, the really pretty people are taught to rely a little too much on their looks. There have actually been studies showing that they are often more likely to be chosen for jobs, clubs, etc. When your looks are your main selling point, it seems it sets you up for insecurity, not to mention what happens when/if those looks leave. And I've seen a few beautiful teens, whose looks were gone by mid twenties, and it really made me sad what they went through. I say this as someone who looks pretty darn good if I take the time for hair and makeup, which I have no patience for.

    They can be but a lot of the time, kids just start off blank (not nerds, not cool kids, not jocks or scrubs or stoners or nerds or geeks etc), and their looks determine what category other kids will push them into. Maybe a cool kid likes video games and science like a nerd, but they are attractive so the cool kids let them hang. Maybe a nerd really likes watching hockey and making tictocs but they’re not conventionally attractive so the other kids just push them to the nerd category. It happens like that in many places. They sort themselves based on looks. It’s really more of a rural thing, maybe a thing of the past too. Kids today are nicer and have a wider range of interests. Same for city kids.

    They mean more the trope of the person taking off their own glasses and letting their own hair down, giving their head a small shake and the stunned man watching cries 'why Miss Jones, you're beautiful'. (Man must need his own glasses and a brain transplant to have not realised before.) As for anyone taking off someone else's glasses? Big nope. You wouldn't think it okay to take off someone else's shoe suddenly. Hands off the body and hands off anything on the body!

    Tom’s thread, which he started on the 26th of February, got over 15k likes and soon spread like wildfire. In fact, if you’ve been browsing Twitter this weekend, you might have noticed at least one or two people sharing the weird things that characters tend to do that befuddle us.

    However, there are plenty of good reasons why movies and shows are so far removed from our daily lives. In brief, living as a human being is… quite ordinary. There’s lots of downtime. Lots of unscheduled pee breaks that get in the way of dramatic moments. And plenty of dullness without anything exciting happening.

    That’s why it’s so important to edit real life into something that’s fit for watching. Sure, there will always be some people who have the patience to watch paint dry/somebody working in their cubicle all day long only to go back home, microwave their dinner, and play video games. However, it doesn’t make for riveting TV for the vast majority of us.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    By editing out inconveniences like needing to eat full meals (and the guilt of leaving so much food behind, as well as wasting food), showing people working and doing ordinary stuff like washing the dishes, scriptwriters, directors, and actors can get to the most exciting and interesting tidbits. The meat of things, so to speak. (Halloumi if you’re vegetarian, lettuce if you’re vegan.)

    I'm old enough to remember when nobody locked the front door in my small town. Then I moved to a village and locked the door at night but not during the day, until a little old lady with mental problems walked in and demanded I call her family. Since I had no idea who she was, I asked for a number, to which she replied, "Don't be silly! You know who they are!" I was trying to think of a tactful way to handle her when her mortified grandson showed up and also just walked in to hustle her out with much apologies. After that I decided to at least lock the screen door. My sis said she had a couple of kids that were suspected of helping their parents in criminal activities demand to come in and use our bathroom. My sis told them to get up the block to their own house. If we didn't have the screen door locked, they could have walked right in since she was in her room at the end of the house. Sad.

    It probably won’t surprise you to learn that audiences tend to have very short attention spans. Digital Information World explains that back in 2000 we had an average attention span of 12 seconds. In 2015, this dropped to just over 8 seconds. Research has shown that our attention spans are dropping.

    ADVERTISEMENT
    ADVERTISEMENT

    The media we consume changes how attentive we are which in turn changes the media even more. In a fast-paced world, there’s no time for patience, no place for slow storylines and buildup, and especially no room for boring things that regular people do in real life that would mess with the fast pace of the story.

Wife gets pity and sympathy from coworkers, goes to oldest friend's place to get drunk. But friend is reformed con artist and after seeing video, points out that it was obviously staged by gal. Wife goes home, catches gal in clinch with hubby, cold c***s the gal, and then cold c***s hubby as well. "I was trying to push her away!" he complains. "I know," wife says.

    It amazes me how many desperate situations could be avoided in Coronation Street if people would just tell the truth. Also if people wouldn't walk off having heard half of a conversation and come to the wrong conclusion.

    In an episode of Law & Order: SVU, there was a child who was kidnapped and the detectives who visited a bakery where a sex offender parolee worked mentioned to him that if he was innocent, he would have stopped kneading the bread dough he was working on. The caveat was that he couldn't stop kneading it until the timer went off, and he wasn't surprised because whenever something like that happens in his neighborhood he would automatically be a suspect because of his criminal history, on or off parole. Turns out, in this instance, he was innocent of any wrongdoing.

    However, even though our attention spans might be decreasing, it’s not just that. They’re being fractured as well. One screen isn’t enough for us anymore. A recent Total Audience Report that was conducted in 2018 by Nielsen showed that a whopping 88 percent of adults living in the US used their digital devices while watching TV either rarely, occasionally, or frequently.

    That means that a single screen is no longer enough to please viewers who are busy googling stuff related to what they’re watching, posting their thoughts about what’s happening on social media, or discussing the show with their friends. It’s a different form of engagement that doesn’t necessarily mean having your audience’s eyes glued to one screen.

    Something else that we rarely think about (unless you’re a pro in the field) is how strangely people talk. When you’re chatting to someone (masked) face to (masked) face, everything sounds great. But if you happen to record or film the conversation, you might find a different side to the tale: the way that we speak in real life is often disorganized, broken, and unclear.

    Ummm no. First of all you have to have a concealed carry permit. And even then my family only brings a weapon if we're going somewhere potentially dangerous. Luckily though we've never been given a reason to use them. So no, we don't bring weapons to everyday places like the store. I can't speak for everyone as I live in a fairly safe place but that's my answer.

    That’s why scriptwriters have no other choice than to write dialogue that people can actually understand. Sure, not many people speak this way IRL, but we have to think of what’s best for the audience. Do you want to listen to a guy or gal ramble on for 10 minutes or do you want a confident protagonist who enunciates well, argues well, and drops snappy one-liners?

    Of course, that doesn’t mean that ‘realistic dialogue’ has no place in filmography. It does, but it has to be skillfully crafted. Filmmakers like Woody Allen create realistic-sounding dialogue and it can be jarring to most of us who have grown up on a diet of delicately-curated sentences.

    Or if you are actually washing yourself, you always do it with your sexy face on and in slow motion. And you’re never ever shown washing your nutsack and/or asscrack, or shaving your pits. Does that mean cheese, dingleberries, and hairy pits? Sorry sweetie, but those are huge mood-killers.

    4 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    This is actually a better representation of what it should be like. A pea-sized amount of paste will reduce the 'toothpaste drool', NEVER rinse your mouth after brushing! Allow at least 15 mins before anything else goes in your mouth (Yes that includes mouthwash!)! It is during this time that the fluoride in your toothpaste is doing it's job.

    Mewton’s Third Paw
    Community Member
    4 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    They clearly have them brushing sans paste though. It’s not about the amount of drool, it’s about the fact that you can straight up tell their mouths are dry / zero paste. I use a pea size amount and I still get some foam / white showing even if there’s not “toothpaste drool.” Lots of people use more than a pea size amount because they don’t know.

    I order a 'pint of lager' in pubs without specifying the brand. Sometimes bar staff ask and sometimes they just pour the popular brand they have on tap.

    The TV series "All in the Family" caused quite a scandalous stir when, for the first time ever on TV, there was the off-screen sound of a toilet flushing just before Archie came down the stairs. Fast forward a few decades, and the opening credits of the US version of Shameless featured Fiona taking a piss and later her brothers, one of which peed in the sink.
