Ruin My Week
Not everything good is popular and not everything that’s popular is good. There are plenty of inexplicably popular things that are either toxic, gross, immoral, or otherwise highly sus. Still, one man’s trash can be another man’s trashy guilty pleasure. You add up enough people indulging in things like gross-out popping videos from time to time and you get a full-blown trend.
Redditor blackismyfavcolorlol recently asked:
“What’s that one disgusting thing that everybody except you, seems to like?”
And wouldn’t you know it, Reddit had a lot of opinions about these popular cultural trends, subcultures, and even people. Here are some of the top answers.
1. Messy baby pics
Pictures with babies being gross, like with spaghetti all over their faces and that sort of thing. I do not get the appeal and doubt I ever will. –AlyssaImagine
2. Mukbang videos of women eating
Those mukbang videos that have millions of views. –kroven009
3. Greasy recipe videos
Those social media videos of food being made with so much heavy and greasy sh-t! You know, the type where it’s a whole burger, cooked into a quesadilla with a pound of cheese, then fried and covered in three different sauces. –Longjumping_Ad_7279
4. Tall burgers
Mega-tall burgers that nobody could actually eat and burgers completely covered in cheese or sauce. If you can’t taste everything in a single bite, your recipe/preparation is wrong. Big burgers should be wider, not taller. –HeftyPockets
5. Lip fillers
Lip injections. You look like a clown. I don’t get it. –sylvikhan
6. Addictive mobile games
Games designed to be addictive instead of fun to suck money out of you. –DonRobo
7. Gossip
Celebrity gossip –Wolfeshwar
8. Birthday cake slamming
People who slam their friend’s faces into birthday cakes. Just stop. –ReikaIsTaken
9. Validation from strangers
Social media validation. –CDeezdabeesknees
10. Popping vids
Zit, cyst etc. popping videos –TuesdayBlows
11. Gross out viral videos
‘Funny’ videos of people or animals puking. Some people legit think that’s funny, no it’s fucking festy. –Affectionate-Bad5923
12. Reality TV
“Reality” TV shows –KwickKick
13. Fake nails
Well, I know I can’t be the only one that finds them disgusting, but long fake nails. Unless you have a serious case of hand-washing OCD, there is no way that can be hygienic. –Winter_Let4692
14. Dog kisses
People who let dogs lick their mouths. OMFG! What is wrong with them? They’ll often quote some bullshit urban myth about dogs having sterile saliva or some such self-deceiving rubbish so they can feel ok about their perverse desire to tongue kiss dogs. –-Adub72-
15. Fried food
Deep-fried butter and deep-fried mayonnaise. It sounds so gross but everyone seems to eat it at state fairs or amusement parks. –Kain9wolfy
16. Public nail clipping
Clipping your nails anywhere outside of your house. If you are in a nail salon that makes sense… but if you are at work/on the bus?! Just don’t. –Stephenburnett98
17. Kardashians
Anything Kardashian. –Thumbszilla
18. Tiger King
The guy is a sociopath who manipulated two young straight men into a sexual relationship, which ended in one of them committing suicide. Then he had the audacity to give the most tasteless eulogy in front of the guy’s family.
He’s a predator and I’m shocked that more non-straight and non-monogamous people aren’t speaking up against him being released and getting more screen time. –Metawoo
19. Instagram
Why do people insist on torturing themselves daily with doctored pics of everyone else’s totes amazing lives? –Alternative_Bar_2535
20. Whiskey
I have so many friends who love whiskey, but the moment it touches my tongue I gag immediately, regardless of how expensive it is. –scmillion
