Forced laughter on the radio. Hatiest!! (Ben and Jonno are the worst at it)
Matt and Jerry are starting to do it more frequently and it completely puts me off the show when it is being forced.
When I visit NZ I have this weird love hate relationship with NZ radio. It so refreshing to have Djs that talk and swear like normal people.
But the breakfast shows and drivetime show with their antics pranks and wind up calls are the worst. Add in the forced laughter and I can't take it.

I still can't understand why station bosses think radio shows need three presenters trying to outperform each other with lame attempts at humour. It's like having a drink in a pub next to a bunch of moronic teenagers on their first outing without mum.
(caveat to that: it can be a formula that works well with something like sport. Some of the best radio I ever heard was the period when Gibbit, Smithy and Doull were together.)

Next time you're back try the sound, they really don't have any of that crap .

@mooshld Canned laughter on sitcoms. I feel I'm auditioning for another series of Grumpy Old Men

The trouble is with that sort of thing is that as soon as such a thing becomes successful the execs decide this is the way forward and every other fucking show is a rip off. Add to that the fact that usually even the original runs out of steam and becomes a parody of itself.

Yeah, it was a near perfect blend of professionalism (knowing when to keep quiet and when to chip in) and subject knowledge. Never treated the audience as stupid.
They didn't start the formula they just showed the way it could work well.

I don't know whether this is a genetic thing or it is learned behaviour but I just can't stand the noise that Chris Evans makes. I'm told a lot of people suffer with this ailment.

@Catogrande said in Misophonia:
@Crucial That's a rarity alright. Did they go out on a high or die id taper off into obscurity?
The station pulled the plug and reorganised. It was never a high rating show as it was a morning sports show on a racing station.
At one point The Fern even had a weekly contribution with either Bart or Redbeard as guest.There were various host combinations but the one mentioned above was the best IMO.

This, this, this.
In the UK, I only ever listen to BBC Radio 6 Music - as it has good music, no ads, etc, etc... but even they have a shit morning "DJ" who tries to be funny, fails, and does stupid little "bits".
It seriously gives me the shits, as it's my alarm clock - and I want to wake up to good tunes, not some guy talking inane bullshit.
Strangely, I don't mind so much when he's on holiday, and Cerys Matthews takes over. -

Apparently, I bounce my leg when sitting. I don't know why.
I do that too and it usually annoys someone.
Me and my bro do that one too.
I'm a shocker for it. Though I'm conscious if I'm sharing desk space with others that my leg shaking might piss them off.

@Kruse I hope you've got the old mental image rather than the current one.
Mos'def.
I was actually rather vague in memory of what she looked like, just built my own mental image based on the voice.
Now that you've pushed me into actually doing the research, I need to find an early image to imprint the strongest. -

I'll swim against the tide. When I listened to podcasts / recordings I found their 3 pronged interviews formulaic and rehersed. Wasn't a fan.
Which is interesting as I am a yuuuge fan of Gibbit on RS Breakfast. And perhaps Gibbit in general.
Just wasn't massively enamored of that formula.

It was more the inbetween interview stuff I was talking about. The bits that most of these jocks fill with inane banter and laughing at each others jokes. I always thought they got it pretty good in that regard.

On the subject of afternoon radio shows ...
... they had this thing over here called The Benchwarmers who were syndicated or at least were broadcast across a network of stations in Straya.
There were various incarnations of The Benchwarmers but the best were Ant and Becks. They were piss funny. They got fired and now we're subjected to fucking Hamish and fucking Andy who are stupid and vacuous.
But i digress ...
