Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

Bob HopeThere comes a time when nostalgia turns even the lowest-brow art (e.g., The Three Stooges) into high-brow art. Thus, I looked forward to seeing Bob Hope doing live stand-up comedy.
What a pretentious ass! At one point, Hope spotted some unauthorized person in the audience filming his performance, and he stopped the show, petulantly whining all the time about copyrights, until security hauled the offender away.
There was a lot of misogynistic foul language and stupid golf jokes. I looked nervously around, and thought "I hope none of these 10,000 people are homosexuals!" (lots of unfunny homophobic humor too)
Where are The Three Stooges when you need them?
