What are some things (music, games, movies, shows, etc.) that have a level of popularity that you just can't wrap your head around? It's almost enigmatic that these things are so beloved.

Funko Pop dolls.

They're cheap and ugly just like the people who collect them.

Naruto. I've watched a lot of shounen that's popular in the west and it doesn't capture me the same way.

Came in here to say Funko Pops. They're just ugly and usually there are many other options if you want to collect a version of a certain character.

Pretty much everything is easy to understand the appeal to if you don't get caught up in an anti disposition.

Popsicles bought in grocery stores.

Ice cream and ice cream bars/drumsticks are just so much better at home.

The Witcher 3. I cannot understand the appeal of this game at all. I love open world action RPGS. But this is the most boring game Ive ever played.
Huh, interesting. I'm the opposite on this one - I'm not much of a fan of the genre but I loved that game.

It's highly specific and I've only seen it in Instagram reposts but those wooden plank comics cannot land a joke to save their souls. Same with that one guy that posts boring comics to reddit

I would've said this awhile ago but after doing some research on it, and seeing some of it from afar, it actually looks pretty cool. Definitely something I'm going to get into one day.


Read the first three books and watch the first four seasons of the show and pretend nothing else of it was ever made. Just make up your own idea of what you think happened next and it's probably better than the reality

The dunk and egg stories are kind of cool too

It's the soulless eyes that ruin it for me. I'd be willing to get one of a character I like if they have a mask covering their eyes

Sports. And the American Dad explanation didn't really show the appeal.

Alcohol

Coffee flavors, because they all suck.

Starbucks. Their coffee isn't any good. The appeal is in their non-coffee drinks which are like coffee-flavored, I think? But even then they're pretty overpriced.

I'd rather to a real coffee shop, get a straight shot of espresso with actual crema layer (Starbucks straight espresso is pathetic looking and tasting, I would know because I tried it).
