"Headscratchers"

Myrmidon · 2011-04-23 21:00:47

Okay, seriously?

I don't know what IJBM should have been replaced with, but it's not that.

inkblot · 2011-04-23 21:01:36

You'll get over it.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-04-23 21:02:39

It's better than IJBM.

inkblot · 2011-04-23 21:04:41

I wonder if we could convince the mods to change IJAM's name to that.

notwithstanding · 2011-04-23 21:05:33

Fucking SPOONs.

DonZabu · 2011-04-23 21:05:44

Headmassagers? Would that be the new IJAM?

glennmagusharvey · 2011-04-23 21:08:42

Wait, did IJBM the trope page get renamed?

If so, as I mentioned in another thread, this sounds like a good idea; "headscratchers" more accurately reflects the point of the trope than does the phrase "it just bugs me".

Khwarizmi · 2011-04-23 21:09:20

^ That's the idea, yeah.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-04-23 21:09:23

But will it stop the influx of misuse?

No.

DonZabu · 2011-04-23 21:10:40

"Here's a headscratcher: why is this movie so popular if it sucks so bad?"

Part of the reason I hate Confused Matthew.

RedEyedAbyss · 2011-04-23 21:11:23

But it helps. It removes the connotation of "bugs" meaning "annoys".

Stormtroper · 2011-04-24 00:22:47

The name itself is good for what it's supposed to do, I think.

TheMightyAnonym · 2011-04-24 02:33:41

"It's better than IJBM"

LIES ALL LIES

Trash_Vortex · 2011-04-24 04:49:31

The only "headscratcher" is why anyone thought this was a good idea!!! Ha ha! ha ha ha! Ha! ha... ha! ha.... Ha ha ha..

MoeDantes · 2011-04-24 05:56:50

I dunno, I like the Headscratcher rename.

Now if only they'd rename Nakama.

JHM · 2011-04-24 07:56:20

Gets the idea across better, but the phrase "it just bugs me..." gets across the feeling somewhat better.

So, yeah, whatever. At least we can still bitch here...

MousaThe14 · 2011-04-24 14:16:18

I see no issue here.

But then I voted in favor of "Headscratchers" so what do I know?

Khwarizmi · 2011-04-24 15:21:21

*shields Mousa from angry mob*

Tnu1138 · 2011-04-24 15:26:24

oh god! You can't do that man it's always been IJBM it should stay that way! Headscratchers just sounds silly and the worst thing since the "X Goof" renaming.

snowbull · 2011-04-24 15:29:46

This seems like a mostly pointless change to me, but I can't really see anything wrong with it.

Tnu1138 · 2011-04-24 15:34:31

It's really unnerving to be yonest IJBM has always been IJBM you know?

snowbull · 2011-04-24 15:36:01

The actual IJBM pages on the wiki were mostly filled with idiots, and IJBM lives on here, so I'm happy.

JHM · 2011-04-24 15:39:58

It seems that the intelligibility of the complaints is much higher here than on those pages...

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-04-24 15:44:44

That's because they have to phrase their comments in retardacular ways to avoid the whole "Complaining About Shows You Don't Like" thing.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-04-24 19:53:21

I still think that Nakama should be renamed.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-04-24 19:56:04

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Bob · 2011-04-24 20:04:51

The idea behind the change is noble, but it's pretty stupid to believe it's actually going to change anything.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-04-24 20:18:14

I think it's going to change behavior in the long term.

TuefelHundenIV · 2011-04-24 20:25:19

The name did need changing but the chosen name honestly sucks.

inkblot · 2011-04-24 20:43:27

He should have gone all TV network and change "It Just Bugs Me" to "IJBM".

Howdy, Stranger!
