All those American TV shows for truck drivers, renovations, auctions... the ones that have recurring people on them...

Everyone on them has to have one-liners and quips, and that only highlights how manufactured all the personalities are, and it's *so painful* to overhear.

It already felt like those kinds of programs have "characters" more then professional workers on them, but I think noticing the quips is what's highlighted what tips it off for me.
