You know what's funny? If relationships had ratings like movies, wouldn't that be something? Imagine your friend asking about your new date, and you're like, "Oh yeah, solid 4 stars! Good storyline, a few plot holes, but the special effects were fantastic!"
And then you'd have relationship critics. "This pairing lacked chemistry. Their banter was mediocre at best, and the ending left much to be desired." Can you imagine if we had critics reviewing our love lives? "Two thumbs down for that breakup scene. The emotional depth was lacking!"
But seriously, if we rated relationships like we do movies, some people would be competing for Oscars while others would be in the bargain bin. "Sorry, Dave, your romantic comedy got panned. Maybe next time, don't forget the roses and chocolates.
You ever notice how everything's got a rating these days? I mean, seriously, 9 out of 10, 4 stars, 5 thumbs up—wait, who has five thumbs? Rating systems are getting out of hand. I saw a toaster the other day that proudly proclaimed it was a "9 out of 10" toaster. I'm sorry, what? Are we judging toasters on their ability to evenly toast bread now? I just want my toast, not a performance review!
And then there's the whole restaurant thing. You go online, and every place is either a 4-star or a 5-star restaurant. Who's giving these ratings? The Michelin Man? I swear, I went to one of these "5-star" places, and they served me something that looked like abstract art on a plate. I was scared to eat it; I thought it was a modern sculpture!
Rating systems have invaded everything. I wouldn't be surprised if they started rating human interactions. Imagine getting a performance review after a conversation. "Hey, great chat! 9 out of 10 for engaging content, but you lost points for excessive puns." Who's keeping score here, and where can I see my ranking?
You ever read product reviews online? I swear, they're more entertaining than half the movies out there. You got people reviewing a simple pen like it's the next Shakespeare. "This pen changed my life. I wrote my name with it, and suddenly, I felt like a poet!"
And then there are those one-star reviews. I saw someone giving a blender a one-star review because it didn't make them breakfast in bed. Come on, folks, it's a blender, not a personal chef! Some of these reviews are like expecting a microwave to also do your taxes.
But the best ones are those ambiguous reviews. "This product was terrible. 2 out of 5 stars." Okay, but WHY was it terrible? Was it possessed by a demon? Did it explode in your face? I need details! It's like they're rating it just to be part of the rating club without any explanation. It's a mystery wrapped in a review.
Have you noticed how movie ratings have changed over time? I mean, back in the day, a G-rated movie was like "Oh, it's for everyone!" Now, a G-rated movie is like finding a unicorn. It's rare, and when you find one, you're like, "Is this real life?"
And don't even get me started on PG-13 movies. They should rename it "Parents, Get Ready to Explain Some Awkward Stuff." It's like playing roulette with your kids' innocence. You think you're going for a light-hearted adventure, and suddenly, there's a scene that makes you question your life choices. "Mommy, what's subtext?" Yeah, good luck with that explanation, Karen!
But seriously, who decides these ratings? Sometimes it feels like they're flipping a coin. "Heads, it's PG-13. Tails, R-rated with a sprinkle of controversy." And let's not even talk about those unrated movies. It's like the wild west of cinema. You're walking in blind, hoping it's not a horror show.
