stooge factor

The phenomena that renders a television or movie program unwatchable for more than a few moments before the desire to change the channel or leave the theatre becomes irresistable due to the high levels of stupidity contained therein.

Titled for the Three Stooges, stooge factor can change over time, illustrating how some of our most beloved television programs and movies can become completely unwatchable years later.

Something so utterly stupid that it defies belief.

The desire to escape the program may actually be accompanied by a subtle fear that continuing to watch it may actually make one less intelligent.

(Parody phrase of Fear Factor)

Note that it is possible for modern television and movie programs to have such horrible writing, acting, etc. that it can be said to contain a high stooge factor.

A Three's Company episode being funny back in the 1980s being out of place in the new millennium. Or watching Jerry Lewis try to do his old stand-up routine at a modern comedy festival.

Basically, makes you want to get the hook.

"I can't watch this crap. Too high a stooge factor!"

Absent Factor

The single factor not taken into account in any situation, which usually leads to catastrophe.

The fact that Joe didn't clean the beaker properly was the absent factor in the experiment that lead to the explosion in the lab.

Lollage factor

This is a scale used to analyze the precise lol (laugh out loud) factor of a joke or amusing moment. There are three levels of lollage, they are in their respective order from lowest to highest: major lollage, ultimate lollage and maximum lollage. The level of lollage is determined either through a group consensus or individual taste.

Dude, that was totally ultimate lollage.

Major lollage moment, when Jon Goslin was in Las Vegas.

The thing on Donald Trumps head has the maximum lollage factor.

Lickability Factor

Someone whom you would really like to lick either in a general way or in a very sensational sexual way.

I told my girlfriend as she came in the door that she had a very high lickability factor.

hangover factory

any place (bar, club, mate's house, etc) which you are guaranteed to feel chronically rubbish after spending the evening in.

I made the mistake of dropping in on John and Jane last night on the way home from work and I feel rough today. Their place is such a hangover factory.
