Whatchu Call That Device Used To...

[Jefftacular]

I was raised in a "channel changer" household

SPOILER (Highlight to View)

but I secretly yearn to be a "clicker"...oooh, PostSecret, here I come...

[Ruettiger]

I call it a "remote".

[Dan #3]

I call it an "Anti-People-That-Delete-Me-On-MSN-Device."

[Ruettiger]

"No skin off my back".

[borntohula]

nice one yasa. i call it a remote. some people i know call it a "box" and hilarity ensues.

[Crusader]

I get up and change it on the dial!

[Dan #3]

"No skin off my back".

"No skin off of his, none off of mine."

[Ruettiger]

Yep, so it's settled, and you can keep it out of this thread.

[Dan #3]

Yes sir! Sirdy-Sir-Sir-Sir!

i was raised in a clicker home, but i was converted to remote around age 13...

 

i don't watch tv anymore, so i don't give a shit/

[ecnarf]

I say remote control.

 

I like to use its full name. It creates an atmosphere of formality that is so lacking in today's homes.

[manfromharoldwood]

my step dad was kind of weird and kept the remote in his pocket the entire time i lived at home, so i never really knew that remotes existed.

 

when i got my own TV, i called it a remote based on the user manual.

 

(i'm mostly joking, by the way. except for the step dad carrying the remote with him everywhere. he had issues.)

[Audio of Being]

Remote for me.

 

Sometimes the doohickey that changes the channels.

I voted remote but I use clicker a lot too. And people who call it a box are funny. I used to know people who literally had one of thsoe box things that is connected to the TV by a chord, and it had big clicky buttons. It was hilarious.

[ecnarf]

I've got to know, remote people... doesn't calling it a remote sound rather pretentious?

 

I mean, remote is an adjective, not a noun. Come on, get it right!

Haha...my mom used to have one of those! Except instead of 'big clicky buttons' it had this huge ass dial to change the channels...it was actually pretty cool, you could channel surf ridiculously fast by spinning it...ahhh, good times ;)

[Pony_Boy]

Personaly, I was raised in a home that called it the "TV Clicker Box"

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

How barbaric.

[shadowkitten]

remote..

[no yu begin wher i end]

Remotes cause cancer.

[Ravenous Yam]

The only acceptable words are "remote control" or just "remote". Although, when my brain fails me and i can't come up with those, i generally use "machine" or "tv-thing".

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

Clickers cure cancer.

[Shiri]

Remote.

 

And the 8 characters rule is dumb.
