I'll mention something different for my own contribution than my usual:
I've always hated Seinfeld, including when his show was brand new. "It's a show about nothing!" was a thought terminating cliche in the 90s that was used to pitch the show at me again and again by its fans, and also to dismiss any and all problems I had with the show and its ultra-privileged smarmy main character. If I got anything valuable out of that show and for that matter his stand up routine, it was a lifelong allergy to New Yorker comedy that front loads a whole lot of "I am a New Yorker which means I am smarter and tougher and wiser and more cultured and more sophisticated yet more grounded than you" self-aggrandizement into the set. :nyet:

monty python holy grail & life of brian. didnt finish either movie cause i didnt think they were funny. i like the sketch comedy much more
Holy Grail derailed hundreds if not thousands of hours of D&D sessions throughout the 90s. It was memes before memes were a known internet thing.
I didn't hate either of them but the cliches were grating over time for sure.
Yeah, the quoting of Holy Grail was far worse than the actual movie

Ever watch The Meaning of Life? It's made up of shorter segments and it's a bit closer to the show
