Gannon Banned: Difference between revisions

Line 153:
** Using "Timelord" instead of "Time Lord" or any spelling other than TARDIS is a bad idea.
** It's also probably a good idea to avoid referring to the actor that played the Fifth Doctor as "Peter Davidson," unless you enjoy the thought of being lectured on how [[Peter Davison]] is an actor, while Peter Davidson is the guy who used to draw Desperate Dan in ''The Dandy''.
*** [[Doctor Who Magazine]]'s Fifth Doctor announcement managed to mess this up , reading "PETER DAVIDSON '''IS''' THE DOCTOR" (they lampshaded this later when Davison got a cover for "Time Crash").

* Jim intentionally did this to irritate Dwight on ''[[The Office]]''. After an ethics meeting where they were told to avoid "Time Theft" in the workplace, Jim had a deliberately loud conversation with Andy about the ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' TV show. During that conversation, he talked about how the show has [[Star Trek|Klingons]] and [[Star Wars|Wookiees]], is a shot-for-shot remake of the original, and is about a character named [[Harry Potter|Dumbledore]] [[Star Wars|Calrissian]] who has to [[The Lord of the Rings|return a ring to Mordor]]. Meanwhile, Dwight is seething at his desk, trying his hardest to refrain from getting involved in this non-work-related conversation.
* It's quite easy to get Gannon Banned from ''[[The Colbert Report]]'' fandom (the fact that [[Ban on Politics|politics is frequently involved]] probably doesn't help), but the quickest way to do it is to [[Berserk Button|spell]] [[Stephen Colbert]]'s [[Berserk Button|name wrong]]. There is no such person as "''Steven'' Colbert". Pronouncing the T in "Colbert" will cause similar levels of rage.

* A lot of ''[[Super Sentai]]'' purists get pissy if you use ''[[Power Rangers]]''-specific terminology in the context of ''Sentai'' (i.e. "Zords" instead of "mecha") or if you refer to a ''Super Sentai'' character by the name of their ''Power Rangers'' counterpart (i.e. Rita Repulsa instead of Bandora the Witch). Some fans even go as far as to insist on using the term ''senshi'' (the Japanese word for warrior) instead of "ranger" when talking about the members of a Sentai (since the term "ranger" wasn't used for any of the teams prior to ''[[Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger]]'', with the exceptions of ''[[Himitsu Sentai Goranger]]'' and ''[[Kousoku Sentai Turboranger]]''). Although, the introduction of the "Ranger Keys" in ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'' has made the term "Ranger" a bit more acceptable as a substitute for ''senshi'' among purists. The following series''[[Tokumei Sentai Gobusters]]'' has introduced Megazord into the Sentai lexicon as well as the phrase "It's Morphin Time".
** Speaking of [[Power Rangers]], Jason David Frank was once booed for saying that he would have preferred it if Steve Cardenas had returned for Forever Red instead of Austin St. John.
* Calling any version of [[Stargate Verse|Stargate]] "StarGate" or "Star Gate" will cause every fan of the series in the world to tell you just how wrong you are, and how it's nothing like ''[[Star Trek]]'' or ''[[Star Wars]]''.
* Confusing the British original and American remake versions of ''[[Skins]]'' is likely to get you gannon-bannedGannon Banned from fans of the former - who make up the majority of the fandom, and most of whom see the American version as somewhere between forgettable and an unwatchable atrocity.
