Sober
1. A term most frequently used to describe someone's natural state without the consumption or influence of alcohol. (It can also more broadly be used to describe someone who is not under the influence of drugs, although this is a less-common use of the word.)
2. A metaphorical descriptive term than can be used to describe someone attaining a serious or sensible mental state, often after having a more carefree or unstable attitude. (Almost as if becoming sober after being drunk.) Generally described as being "sobering."
3. A slang term sometimes used to describe someone who is exceedingly boring or nit-picky. Or someone goes out of their way to display a lack of joy or an absence of fun.

1. Noel remained sober at the nightclub while her friends drank and partied, as she was the designated driver for the night.

IMDb
An acronym for "Internet Movie Database." A website with the intention of being a go-to for film enthusiasts who wish to research films, actors, directors, etc. And also have the opportunity to discuss those films and people on one of many thousand message boards available on the site.
However, even the best intentions could not save IMDb from the internet. It is now basically a breeding ground for trolls, pricks and lifeless douchebags who spend all day, every day fighting, bitching and annoying eachother on the message boards. It's pretty much impossible to have a decent, civilized conversation on IMDb anymore thanks to the fucktards who encompass 90% of its audience.
Other current problems with the site include:
-Films being massively downvoted by trolls and haters, meaning that most of the user-average scores on the site cannot be trusted anymore.
-An on-going witch hunt for so-called "studio plants." (people who have allegedly been paid by studios to give positive reviews to films) The problem is that because 90% of IMDb's audience is made of haters, if you even try to admit that you like a film, there's about a 50% chance you will be labeled a "studio plant." (Even if you obviously are not)
-People spending all-day, every-day asking if every male actor is gay or not on the message boards.
-Similarly, sad, lonely men pining away on just about every message board for every actress about how much they love them and want to bang them.

studio plant
Someone who is allegedly paid off by the studio system to give films, television shows, albums, etc. positive feedback and/or glowing reviews on internet forums and websites. The purpose of this is to spread artificial positive word-of-mouth in order to generate publicity. Also commonly referred to as a "shill."
Or more commonly: A label used by trolls and haters on the internet in a misguided attempt to discredit people who disagree with their negative views on a film, television show, album, etc. Essentially, the troll/hater, unable to process the fact that someone might actually like the thing they hate so much, will accuse the person who disagrees with them of being a "studio plant" (following the definition above), even though it's basically never true. It's easier for their feeble minds to pretend that the other person was paid off by a big studio, rather than acknowledge their differing opinion.

Pete couldn't wait to write a review online for the new Schwarzenegger action movie, because he thought it was awesome! However, after posting his review, he was accused of being a "studio plant" by someone who didn't like the film.

The Archfiend
If the words "hypocrisy" and "prick" could be physically personified in a human being, it would be "The Archfiend."
A YouTube blogger who leeches off of other, far better internet personalities, The Archfiend is a parasitic douche-bag who makes videos where he "exposes" (aka, whines and cries like a toddler) what he feels are the misdeeds of other YouTube bloggers. This is quite amusing, because he ironically doesn't seem to understand that he is guilty of virtually everything he condemns others for doing. (Ex. He frequently takes cheap shots at other YouTube personalities for making money off of their videos even though he hypocritically does the exact same thing.)
He does this because it gets him lazy views. He'll make a video calling-out other YouTube users, and purposely post their names in his video titles and descriptions, so that way his videos pop up when people search for the users. It's a very cheap, deceptive way to score views, but he doesn't care. (Because he's a prick!)
He is also very easily butt-hurt, and rather than engaging people in proper debate or discussion, will block them from his channel and leave snarky replies to them. (Often replacing the S's in his responses with "$", to show that he's happy he made money off of their views... again showing that he's a hypocritical asshole.)
Sadly, his fans are just as bad as he is. Hopefully one day they will see the light, and see what a worthless, hypocritical, childish brat he is.

Sally knew better than to watch The Archfiends videos, because anyone with half-a-brain would realize that he's completely worthless and does not contribute anything in any capacity to anyone.
