Stupidity phrases using HT terms (1 Viewer)

[Kevin P]

I'm sure you've heard the expressions used to describe someone who's, let's say, not entirely with it, such as "one can short of a six pack" or "not the sharpest knife in the drawer". I came up with a few using Home Theater terminology:

• "His brightness (or sharpness) is set low"
• "One tube shy of a projection TV"
• "The player's on but the disc tray is empty"
• "One disc short of a special edition"
• "His/her changer is missing a few discs"
• "Not running on all speakers"
• "His brain's off and he lost the remote"
• "He/she's getting snowy reception"
• "One channel short of surround"
• "His/her convergence is off"
