Clueless-There’s a germ of a good idea in a contemporary update of Jane Austen’s Emma. That’s probably because no one wanted to see a sequel to a movie nobody remembered.ħ. Its sequel Wayne’s World II under-performed at the box-office. Though moderately popular at the time of its release, Wayne’s World has been forgotten by every human being on planet earth. Yet that hasn’t kept Lorne Michaels, the deranged madman behind Saturday Night Live, from trying, and failing, to make the big leap to the big screen with several movies based on sketches, like 1992’s Wayne’s World. Maybe with a better, more likable hero, Get a Life would have gotten better ratings and not been instantly and completely forgotten by literally everyone in the world.īut a movie based on a Saturday Night Live sketch? That sounds more like a grueling endurance test than a recipe for a good time. Unfortunately the creators of the aggressively non-remembered FOX sitcom Get a Life pulled a real choke job by making its hero a thirty year old newspaper boy who still lives with his parents.
Get a Life-Audiences want to like and identify with the heroes of television shows and movies.
Get angry! Get mad! Then get to sharing and tweeting about how much you hate this horrible fucking article and all of the stupid lies in it.ġ0. With that in mind, here are Schitt’s Creek and 9 other pieces of pop culture that we know damn well are EXTREMELY BELOVED yet are pretending have been forgotten solely for the sake of unnecessarily and deliberately angering readers like you.
These loathsome lists are then hate-read, hate-shared and hate-commented upon in a manner that’s supposed to expose their transparent wrongness but only end up exposing even more people to garbage content. On a more insidious level, these lists exist to enrage readers/commenters by including pop culture touchstones that are widely beloved, and would only be considered “forgotten” by someone with no understanding of pop culture. On a literal level, they remind us of pop culture detritus we may, indeed, have forgotten for various reasons and may enjoy being reminded about. I’ll tell you who: people who write cynical clickbait articles like this one! That’s why there are so many lists on websites like Buzzfeed and Cracked of entertainment that has ostensibly been completely forgotten. Who can definitively say that something has been fondly remembered or completely forgotten, on an individual or institutional level?
