New England Patriots

The team that single-handedly ruins football. They always have a positive record. They always win their division. They always make the playoffs. They've won a buttload of Super Bowls. But it's never enough for them. They always, ALWAYS have to keep winning. And they always win under some bullshit circumstances, like the refs making a call in their favor or Tom Brady suddenly becoming god for 2 minutes, or the other team magically forgetting how to play. They win and win and win, and it pretty much just kills everyone's expectations. As long as they exist, there's no need to even get one's hopes up for an exciting season of NFL.

Guy 1: NFL season has almost started! How bout those New England Patriots? You think Brady will get his sixth ring?

Guy 2: ...what the hell do you think? You go have fun, I'mma watch some MMA.

Remake

Recycling, but for the entertainment industry. A stupid, cheap, lazy way to make money. Simply take something that already exists from years ago... and resell it! Do the bare minimum to modernize it, like change a few words in the script and adjust it for modern-day sensibilities, and then sit back and let the money roll in. Somehow, this works.

"Disney's on a roll lately with their live action remakes!"
"Yeah, it takes an extreme level of talent to throw darts at a board of their existing properties, instead of actually... you know, thinking of something new."

SNK

The company that makes all those shitty fighting games that you'll never beat. Somehow believes that by making their games as unfair as possible people will like them.

Guy 1: Have you played SNK's Art of Fighting 2?
Guy 2: ...........Don't ever say those words again.
