->''Mind you, I guess it could be said to be accurate that the descendants of the ''Enterprise'' crew are pretty tedious…[[EightDeadlyWords because the majority of our crew are, too.]] Even the design of the ship is shockingly unimaginative. The designers could have gone crazy and turned ''Enterprise'' into a shrine filled with candles. The idea that over 100 years and many generations that it would look pretty much the same is very unlikely.''

->''"Multiply elf gain.<br><strong>THIS BUYABLE DOESNT WORK.</strong> I know about it, the game is (unfortunantely) balanced around it not having an effect, and by god I am NOT touching the code ever again."''

->"Just as {{Creator/Ubisoft}} flinches in terror now if you make the slightest suggestion that [[AuthorTract their stories have a political stance,]] they now seem frightened even of giving us the merest hint of a gameplay obligation. 'Hey, do this mission! Or don't! Either's fine!' ...And let's not forget, you can buy what's termed 'timesavers'. So first we buy your game, Ubisoft, and then you charge us ''more money'' to ''not have to play it?'' If I paid double price up-front, would you just ''not give it to me at all?''"

->"Well, for one thing, it's angling rather blatantly for the [[BattleRoyaleGame open-world survival-crafting thing]]... 'And remember to take lots of pictures for social media, you little word-of-mouth money-spinners, you!' But sadly, {{Creator/Bethesda}} couldn't leave well enough alone, presumably because there were a lot of employees who had to look busy, at least until they'd covered this month's mortgage payment. And ''Fallout '76'' tries to be a ''Fallout'' RPG as well, ultimately satisfying no one but the Blandness Preservation Committee (that doesn't exist)."

->"''Insurrection'' is [[IdiotPlot a symphony of stupid.]] It's like [[Music/LudwigVanBeethoven Beethoven's]] "Symphony No. 5", but for below-average Hollywood hack-job filmmakers and producers."

->"I remember when we were doing the press screening at BAFTA and I was sitting next to this woman journalist and she saw this guy's face and she [[{{Narm}} snorted with derisive laughter.]] When we turned up for that day on location and saw those aliens, we were so enraged.

And then that journalist's response, people just can't take it seriously after seeing that. Someone just didn't try."

->"Stuart's a nice bloke, but to have someone come in, who's never ever seen ''Franchise/StarTrek'' before, and when you say to him, 'Well, [[CharacterDerailment my character wouldn't do that]],' and he says, 'I don't care, just do it anyway!' -- first of all, you wanna punch his lights out, but second of all, he's the director, and you kinda have to do what he says, 'cause he just keeps making you do it over and over again."

->"It didn’t matter if they were fighting robots in Latveria or aliens in the Negative Zone or Mole Monsters in downtown Manhattan; Josh just did not give a shit."

They are what happens when someone suggests an idea for a Team Service Announcement, but says it in a way that makes me want to do it, but not put any effort into it.

->''TMG alleges that Johnny compulsively spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a sound engineer to feed him lines on set through an earpiece. The documents claim that Johnny insisted his line helper be kept on a yearly retainer so that he doesn’t have to memorize his lines anymore, and that he’s used this script-cheating system for years...First of all, Johnny’s laziness is creating jobs. Second, feeding lines to Johnny Depp sounds like the easiest gig in the world. You don’t even have to pay attention; if you forget what page of the script you’re on, all you have to do is whisper ''“Uh, make random noises in a [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent vaguely British accent]] and do some eyebrow work.”'' That’s guaranteed to buy you at least an hour or two.''

->"''Oh, did you originally go into the mission with three lives? Well, now you have to [[FakeDifficulty restart it with one,]] fuck you.''\\
But WHY, ''Wolfenstein: Youngblood''?!\\
''Because we ''hate'' you, Player. We hate that you exist. Because by existing, you prove that there's an audience for this tosh, [[{{Sequelitis}} forcing us to make it]] when none of us give much of a shit about it and would much rather be, say, working on the new ''{{VideoGame/Doom|Eternal}}'', or picking biscuit crumbs out of our belly hair.''"

->"All the different versions of [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog SONIC]] exist because SEGA NEVER CARED ABOUT STORY PERIOD. FULL STOP. I know this having personally dealt with Sega. Keep in mind that when my team approached SEGA to do a Sonic The Hedgehog movie we had the show runner of FOX-TV’s animated ''X-MEN'' series involved who was attracted to the project because of my work on the comics, and he was there to hear SEGA express concern over look, not story."

->In ''Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time'', Creator/PattonOswalt has a bit where he talks about what it really means to be successful as a comedian. He tells a story about being paid to do his act in front of a crowd so drunk that his mere presence is enough to earn a standing ovation, and how he received the offer to do that set (no new jokes, no material at all -- just free money) forever, and how now he has to live with "the pulsing door of compromise and success", because at any point he can stop writing jokes and just make money. I bring this up because, in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Sandler described a similar moment where he made [[MoneyDearBoy the exact opposite decision.]]
