TV Networks
- Many Aussies declared weekday mornings RUINED FOREVER when Network Ten's Cheez TV was replaced by Toasted TV. This is the point where one of the most well-known uploads of one of the Cheez TV intros literally has the phrase "Fuck you TOASTED TV!!" in the description.

- Disney removed the beloved song "Happily Ever After" from their Magic Kingdom/Walt Disney World nighttime shows? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! A POX ON YOU, DISNEY!!
- We have to spend money on our Fastpasses now? And they're not even called "Fastpasses" anymore?! And we have to schedule them the day of instead of months in advance?!? THAT'S IT! WE'RE GOING TO UNIVERSAL FROM NOW ON!
