I really find PMJ to be up their own ass and incredibly mediocre.

How is that a criticism? That's what they do. This is like criticizing Weird Al for doing mostly comedic parodies of songs. Or complaining that Baskin Robins mostly serves ice cream.
I have to agree; that's their entire format. You can ether appreciate that format or not, but when your complaint is "I don't like their entire gimmick" then it's not really a complaint about the band, it's just a statement of your taste. It's the difference between "I don't like pizza" and "This pizza is bad."
I don't mind their gimmick, but I do think they do it... fine. I think it's just a "You've heard one you've heard 'em all," thing for me.
The long, lingering notes crooned out by their female vocalist also is just super boring. Like, you don't need to do that for every single note. I find it tiring. And just since I'm moaning, I also hate their description of songs as "50s style" or whatever. 50s isn't a genre? Write "Doo-wop" or "Blues cover" or "In the Style of Beastie Boys" or SOMETHING but an era is not a music. I feel like this is basic.

I tried durian recently and while I found the taste to be almost good, it seemed like my body wanted to reject it as poison.
Even as my brain was finding it somewhat acceptable, I started feeling nauseous after having consumed only a small amount of it.
I think it was the combination of the texture and the smell.

Neat. I have this, too. I've known for many years that I am unable to visualize things mentally, while others can. I didn't know it had a name until now though.
Oh what? Those Irish folk have a new channel? Is my girl Sarina there?
Now, that I have checked, she is!
Oh, they even got that jacket wearing dipshit who hates everything back.
Oh, but y' left off the Krispy Kreme one, and we can't be having that now, can we?

Back in the mid-80's, I used to try to explain to my friends that I think in concepts and not in visuals. When you tell me "think of an apple" I think of the concept of an apple. I can describe the characteristics of an apple. But if I see any visual images in my mind at all, it's only very brief and ephemeral, and I have to really work at it.
I hate that Krispy Kreme failed in Canada. Fucking Canadians and ass trash Tim Hortons.
Oh man, I would stab you in the face right now for a warm Krispy Kreme
I don't know how many stores they opened, but they definitely still exist in Canada. I emember waiting in about 3 blocks of traffic for drive thru Krispy Kreme in Mississauga one time. Everyone I know loved Krispy Kreme and also everyone I know would agree that Tim Hortons is trash. There's certainly a large percentage of Timmie's faithful in Canada but at least in the GTA there is still a lot of love for Krispy Kreme, though the rise of gourmet donut shops that offer vegan options as well might be hurting them now.
I will say this though: their coffee sucks.

Well, the ones I know of in Alberta didn't last a year.
Apparently almost none of the Krispy Kremes originally opened in 2001 in Canada made it past 2005 before the owners bankrupted. They've recently made another attempt at the Canadian market. Now is the time for sure, apathy towards Tim Hortons continuously dropping quality and horrid labour practices couldn't be higher.
You forgot the part where the Canadian apologizes.

Krispy Kreme is cotton candy pretending to be a donut. Give me something with more substance.
