Way back in 2013, my mother started asking me if I had seen a particular programme on Channel 4. I kept being told that I simply HAD to watch it because it was absolutely hilarious. Her description of it caused me to think it sounded rather ghastly. "It features people watching TV and commenting on what they have seen. Some of the things they say are priceless!"
As I've never understood the appeal of people watching YouTube videos of people playing video games, I was struggling to understand what could possibly be so enjoyable and entertaining about this programme that my mother kept talking about. If you haven't already guessed, the programme was Gogglebox.
Eventually, I decided to watch it. My mother had spent weeks telling me about the antics of the 'posh couple' who always appeared to be in an inebriated state, so I figured that I had to at least find out for myself what all the ridiculous hype was about. Well, I was hooked.
Yes, my guilty pleasure (one of them) is watching Gogglebox.
Do you have any guilty pleasures that you care to share? - Please keep it clean folks!
I've never seen Gogglebox but I keep hearing good things about it so I need to watch it at some point!
My guilty pleasure is still playing with toys and dolls which I personally don't think is bad thing but I know a lot of people disagree with older than 10 year old playing.
But on the quiet I still enjoy it!
If you enjoy it that's all that matters. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks :)
I think Gogglebox is something that you will either enjoy and want to watch, or totally dislike.
As for your guilty pleasure, I agree with Shardovan's comment.
This is a good point - there should be no guilty pleasures really. We like what we like, and if it hurts no one, why not do what makes you happy?
