- Various commercials. Namely these:
- Mischa Barton's voice.
- I mean, if you've ever watched The OC, I'm sure you're uncomfortably aware of the fact that EVERY SINGLE CONVERSATION between Marissa Cooper and Ryan Atwood seems to begin with an exchange of laid-back "Hey!"s. And it is ridiculously annoying and creamy when Mischa-Marissa does it...It's just this high, breathy "Heeey!" Maddy and I say it to each other quite a lot, and also like to spice things up when we're watching The OC by picking out awesomely awkward moments for Marissa to pop out of a cupboard or barbeque grille and ruin the moment with that simple, airy "Heyyy!"
- This cereal that I have to ring up at work a lot. It's this Gerber small-grain rice cereal, but instead of just calling it that, or giving it an interesting name, the box just simply says "Cereal For Baby" on it and it sounds sooo cheezy and annoying!
- In fact, it's just creamy whenever anyone refers to their infant as "Baby." Referring to it as THE baby is fine. But stuff like "And how is Baby doing?" Or "Shhh! It's Baby's bedtime," etc, etc, etc is just X-Treme Creem.
- Hell, can we just eliminate the word "baby" from the English language period? I'd feel a lot less nauseated if I lived in a world where I didn't always see cheezy facebook kids calling eachother Baby or Babe. Ew.
- Quite a few scenes from Lord Of The Rings. Namely The Fellowship Of The Ring. I've seen all of them, but I saw that the most and it's pretty much the only one in the series that I actually remember. Anywho...
- Like that scene where Frodo wakes up in Rivendell and he and Sam have that happy dance of reunitement with Pippen and Merry in the too-bright sunlight. OH MY CREAM.
- Or that scene at the beginning where Gandalf's being all serious and then he and Frodo break into that big gale of laughter.
- Really, if it's a scene containing Frodo, it'll probably be creamy. I like those movies, but dang, Elijah Wood is such a creamer in them! Whatchu doin', Woodster?! And quit leading Sean Astin on!
- When people sing a'cappella.
- There are certain specifications where this one is concerned though. For example, I saw Regina Spektor live a couple years ago and she opened with an a'cappella piece and was fantastic. No, it's when people just sing to you and they're trying really hard to be soulful and good and it's all you can do not to cringggge.
- Mom faces.
- You know the look I'm talkin' 'bout. It's that "Oh you precocious children of mine!" look, that disapproving-but-amused face that moms or other maternal figures (such as a Sunday school teacher I once had) tend to bestow upon misbehaving children. My sister Maddy does it quite well and tends to embellish it by leaning her head down to give herself a double-chin.
- Pretty much any episode of Full House.
- Really? Do I really need to go into detail here? This is a show involving Bob Saget about 3 girls being brought up by a dad who's having an affair with Mr. Clean, his Popeye-impersonating comedian best friend, and his "rock and roll" brother-in-law who is obsessed with his hair and has a man-crush on Elvis. They're an odd bunch, dammit, yet despite all this, THEY LOVE EACHOTHER! And lots and lots of hugs and wacky ways to deal with problems ensue...
- But if you really need solid evidence as to why Full House is off-the-charts-creamy, just watch this clip from an episode in which Uncle Jesse experiences the joy of seeing his very first music video (featuring those adorably-precocious-like-all-kids-on-these-sorts-of-shows twins, Nicky and Alex) premier on MTV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d46sWCdmees.
- Shitcom Theme Songs.
- The amount of times I've used the word "creamy" in this one little list.
