How much does this piss you off?

Asked by Comedian (1133points) December 3rd, 2008

Don’t you hate it when the audio is off on a TV show or is it just me?

I usually unmute the TV when this particular problem occurs.

I mean when the audio doesn’t match up with their lips

I watched Smallville last season and it messed up at least once or twice on every ep! I can’t even watch it because no matter how hard I try to stare at the character’s eyes when they’re talking, I can still see their mouth in my peripherals. I just want to throw the TV out of the window..

Its very distracting. I hate it when shows aren’t synced with their audio.

have yall ever seen a translated Japanese movie? go watch the original Godzilla. 1 of 2 things is bound to happen. 1. you get over your obsession. or 2. You’ll be driven mad by the continued jaw movement after the English word was spoken 3 seconds ago.

Doesn’t bother me all that much, though it depends. If it’s something very well performed in native language, then yes. But if it’s chop-saki, it can just be part of the comedic ensemble. Or if the show is deficient in other ways to an equal or greater degree than the lip-sync, it’s not spoiling much for me.

Happens when I tape things on DVD, for some reason. But I have the TV muted 90% of the time.
