You know how there's non-renewable energy sources.
Well, this is the exact same thing, but in the entertainment field.
It's when
something (movie, TV show, etc.) becomes "unwatchable" after you've seen it a couple of times.
There are many factors that could affect it. Cast of characters, number of seasons, story,
philosophy, etc.
Guy 1: Man, 'The Simpsons' is such a
non-renewable source of entertainment.
Guy 2: Couldn'
t agree less mate.

Guy A: Dude, is it just me, or is 'How I Met Your
Mother' quite boring these days?
Guy B: Nah, it is excruciating. Let's call it a non-renewable entertainment source.
***
Dude 1: Dude, I couldn'
t stand watching that non-renewable entertainment source with my girlfriend again!
Dude 2: The Proposal?
Dude 1: Yep.
