First of all, I’m not on a wind-up mission here, I’m genuinely interested how this has become.
Most American talk shows available here during the years, I can’t watch them due to this very annoying bit. Be it Letterman, Conan, Leno, Oprah, you name it. No matter how deep the subject, how interesting, no matter how witty the jokes, it’s all ruined. Even the Daily Show suffers from this incredibly annoying fact.
I was watching an episode of Saturday Night Live yesterday, one from recent years. Don’t ask me why I watched it as almost everything including the Wayne’s World pathetic duo and the church lady, which I include in the recent, have been lousy, and there it was as well, is always.
It’s enough that shows like Montel, Rachel Ray, Ricky Lake and anything they’ve done with a movie celebrity to host suffers from the fact that it’s crap on its own, but it becomes increasingly utterly vile when you add this annoying bit.
What I’m talking about is the high pitch “wooooooooooooooooooooo”, that American audiences make, all the bloody time.
Here’s an example, from a show I’ve only seen bits of a couple of times, but I dare wager it has among the most annoying audiences in this category.
There’s the short blurted out “woo!”
You hear it right in the beginning when Tiger asks: “Do you wanna go first?”, and Ellen replies “Oh, alright”, there’s someone in the crowd doing that. Why the excitement over that!?
There’s the bit longer small choir one “woooooo”, which is usually heard when some guest utters he once drove through Palchantooga, or whatever hole in the ground, and among the audience of 100, five of them are from there, it seems. There’s always someone from whatever place is mentioned. Whatever the hell does the “wooooo” mean?
Then there’s the loud, long, annoying
“woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo”
Which you’ll hear when some author who’s written the new best seller “the ten things you should buy at a gas station” is guest, and the crowd is told they’ll each get a copy on their way out.
So where does this come from, this “woooooooooo”? Is it from the wild west day, is it a cousin to “yee-haa”?
Do audiences in Canada go “wooooooooooooooooo”, like they’re on a human air raid siren job interview?
Are the Americans the only that go falsetto “wooooooooo” all the time in talk shows?
Compare to this
There’s lot more reason to go “wooooooooo” here, but no one does, do they?
