People (and by people, I mean hipsters, which are my people) like to talk about how everything is always overrated or underrated. But occasionally some things are perfectly rated. Like:

 

The cuteness of ducks

Moderate exercise

Carrots

Re: Things that are perfectly rated

interestingly lame fact about sandwiches:

 

Quote:

The first written usage of the English word appeared in Edward Gibbon's journal, in longhand, referring to "bits of cold meat" as a 'Sandwich'.[4] It was named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English aristocrat, although he was neither the inventor nor sustainer of the food. It is said that Lord Sandwich was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue playing cards, particularly cribbage, while eating without getting his cards greasy from eating meat with his bare hands.

I disagree

Will Smith = overrated

Cold drinks = overrated

 

Who really cares about Will Smith? And cold drinks? I mean in the grand scheme of things. What does Will Smith really do for like... the lepers in India?And cold drinks? I had this friend who grew up in Africa and she would drink hot bottled water that'd been sitting in a car. She said back home the water had to be boiled and she was just happy to get some. Hot meant healthy or some such. Chips are always nice though. No one can deny a chip. Fuckin lepers would kill for chips.

He's not saying that Will Smith is important, or awesome, he's just saying that the public idea of Will Smith is directly proportional to the general worth of Will Smith.

 

I disagree with chips, though. Sometimes I'll have a chip and I'm like OMG, I totally forgot how fucking awesome chips are! Why aren't people talking about this all the time!?

Untrue. You are under rated.  A week off for your birthday is not nearly enough. 

 

I cannot think of anything perfectly rated.   My opinion of things constantly changes and nothing is what it seems.

Awww thanks.  That actually used to say something embarrassing about rated R movies and when edit'ing it, the fact that I'm pretty great was the first thing that came to mind. 

Lots of people here are underrated but I'm not one of them.  I think we can all agree I'm the best.

Ahem.  Anyway.  I think rented movies are solidly rated.  In pretty much every way.

Re: Things that are perfectly rated

Remote controls=perfect example. However, moderate excercise is way underrated, but perhaps more because its revered but rarely executed by the working class, which makes of everyone who'd not unemployed.

However, underratedness can be seen as a very positive thing, because its common knowledge that people are generally dumb, and treasure bullish while ignoring important stuff. Which is why everyone should have a favorite movie that is at least not in the top 50 of the IMDb 250 list, something you enjoy that other people don't get, if nothing than for the sake of being ahead of the rest.

Chips fart when you open them from the compressed gas. They are overrated. They cut your mouth and get your hands greasy and a small portion of a bag has the calories of a meal, and only the first two or three are even good. And then they get caked in your teeth. All around disgusting snack, really.

 

Will Smith is perfectly rated. I have a soft spot for that nigga having grown up watching Fresh Prince.

 

Generally the theme of the pattern of suggestions here is concluding that boring, practical things are perfectly rated. Like, cups and spoons and drinks and toilets and such.

Adding to that: Stephen King.

 

The Misfits seem perfectly rated. As Jane and I have discussed, they're pretty ungood, but they're all right and they have a fanbase of mostly morons so win win.

 

Sheep abortions. Perfectly rated, I would have to agree. And not at all practical.

 

One person is this thread annoys THE HELL out of me.

 

Morey. No, he doesn't annoy me. And he isn't in this thread. But he's perfectly rated.

I disagree. Your favorite movie should be the movie that you enjoyed watching the most.

Re: Things that are perfectly rated

I have 4 fave movies, 1 of which is not on the imdb top 250 list. I could never chose any one over another. Perhaps I'm biased in that I don't have one favorite, if someone did and it was a stereotypical favorite, like Pulp Fiction (one of my four) I just see that as too typical an answer. Perhaps because those films are so played up and hyped that we're supposed to revere them. I revere it just the same, but I can have just as much fun watching Dawn of the Dead, and that ain't on the list. However, it is only 0.1 stars off...

Napoleon Dynamite.

A lot of people like it, a lot of people hate it, and it all averages out to exactly the rating it deserves - two and a half stars out of five.

Re: Things that are perfectly rated

Porn is vastly underrated. It teaches young men how women like to be treated, and allows every woman and every man to feel inadequate in his or her own way. Porn has the power to pop up at all the wrong moments, ruining an otherwise pleasant net-surfing experience. It can either make or break a casual fuck, depending on the girl's preference. Porn divides and unites. It destroys and rebuilds. It keeps the economy afloat. It brings out the worst in people, and allows the best to shine through retroactively.

Porn objectifies women and men equally. It also shows us what the world might have been, if we had been born mindless robots, instead of mindless robots with hearts. Porn degrades its participants, while elevating the phallus into an ultra-Freudian social tool. The phallus, ostensibly a tool for procreation, becomes the embodiment of dead pleasure, the ultimate pointless Thing.

Do not underrate porn.

Re: Things that are perfectly rated

I think porn sucks and is overrated, but sextapes are perfectly rated. Not for their value as pornography, but for their value as leverage over people. They make you famous. They embarass you publically, but you still get famous friends from them, so they become a networking tool. However, pornography kills sex tapes in that when people are fillmed they begin having sex the way they expect it should be done on camera. The overratedness of porn makes the sextape rate fair.

So, it may be withdrawal talking, but if this thread is about what things you think are not overrated and not underated, then aren't you really talking about things you don't give a shit about?  By the way, peanut butter is completely underrated.

Hell no dude, I TOTALLY care about the cuteness of ducks. A LOT. I just happen to think that they're about as realistically cute as we collectively realize they are.

Calenders...no, time sucks. People keep track of time when they really shouldn't. This is the first week since I don't know when, years ago, a different life, when I don't have a definite school aligned for the fall, I don't have a job, and I don't have any responsibilities. I haven't felt this good in...maybe since childhood. I don't know what day it is, I never know what time it is. I know it will end in a week...or two, but it goes to show how overrated the invention of time really is. Watches, calenders, hell, even sundials, enough already.

Flowers...old people waste their twilights digging around them. They serve no purpose. They have a value in a dystopia, but not now.

Lip gloss...women look fine how they are, yet they waste valuable time thats ticking away thinking that they can please men by coating themselves in commercial products. As an anti-chapped lips thing, it has value, but in no way beyond that.

This is a great thread, I love debating this shiite, its like politics only it doesn't involve controlling people's lives.

i feel like people only own calendars if they have kids

i guess i just dont know anyone with a calendar besides my parents or my friends parents

or maybe im just really disorganized and so is everyone i know. but i think calendars are lame. and i doubt many people disagree, so, id say theyre perfectly rated.

i think this is the first time ive seen an argument about whether or not porn is rated properly. i think its rated just fine.

 

i think drew barrymore and cameron diaz are way overrated but find jennifer love hewitt rated perfectly.

My brother used to have a Wall of Calendars in the kitchen. It was kind of a mimicry of the other side of the kitchen, which had a wall of clocks. Once upon a time, in like 2006, all the clocks actually worked and all the calendars were current. When I went back in March, they were all messed up and outdated, it was sad.
