You know when you hear about something being wildly popular that you’ve barely heard of, like Two and Half Men, or NCIS: 80s Rap Star, or Dancing with the Obscure Heiresses Who Made Sex Tapes, and you wonder, “Who the hell watches this stuff?” Because you’ve never actually met anyone who does? The People’s Choice Awards is an awards show created exclusively by and for those people, the people you forget even exist until you have to go to the christening for your second cousin, Jaxxyn with a y.
Basically, a terrifying look at how dumb most people actually are. Or at least, how dumb the self-selected group of people who would actually take the time to vote for The People’s Choice Awards actually are (I pray that it’s closer to the latter). Knowing that, this year’s list of award winners (which you can see below), actually isn’t so bad. I’m actually quite impressed that Emma Stone and Chloe Moretz are talented enough that even the Mountain Dew drinkers recognized it (though I suspect most voters just picked the person they thought was cutest for all of these). The only one that truly stands out as being atrocious is Adam Sandler as favorite comedic actor. Adam Sandler, who starred in three movies in 2011, Jack and Jill (RATED ARG FOR PIRATES F*CK YOU!), Zookeeper (in which he voiced a monkey), and Just Go with It, your basic, will-the-platonic-friends-get-together rom-com just with more farting (I assume). Having grown up with him, I’m not quite ready to assume everything Sandler does will be automatically horrible (I’m very, very, close), but those movies look insulting even to people who like being insulted. I don’t want to unfairly generalize, but if you honestly liked any of those, society would probably be better off burning you for fuel.
