Karaoke. Have you ever indulged?
Asked a few in the pub what sort of evening entertainment they'd like and this came up. Personally, I'd rather pull my own teeth.
Alt, what do you like about your local pub, assuming you have one?

Rubbish. For desperate attention seeking wannabe cunts.
I suggest russian roulette for your new regulars as entertainment.
Alt: that you get a free stab vest on entry.

My most local of locals is OK. Proper bloke pub. My most usual drinking establishment has fucking good beer, its quiet so you can talk and within staggering distance

Karaoke should be in the same criminal category as rape.
Alt: it's nice and chilled out, "gentrified", and generally scum-free these days.
It's accused of being hip, but I'd rather hipsters than smackhead chavs.

Course I have.
alt. One of the bars I used to work in was so much fun. Always had charity nights, entertainment, fancy dress, loads of drag acts etc. It was just a jovial place to be.
That being said during the day and mid week it was full of waifs and strays and partial to the odd fight.

Never indulged in Karaoke and I now scrupulously avoid it - and the places it's perpetrated
The ones that say it's a great idea are (in my experience) the wannabe singers who take it all far too seriously, the rest who 'might have a go' have to be pissed as a tramp's mattress before they'll get on the mic - and then they don't know the words/tune/key/tempo and make a fucking hash of it.
Alt: My closest pub is 80m away and I've been in there three times. It's a 'Flaming grill' and is dead after 9:30 ish. The pub I like most has a lounge and a bar. No kids in the bar, no swearing in the lounge. It serves good cheap food and good beer. Locals are friendly and the staff know everyone's name.

singstar with friends is good fun
karaoke is shite.
alt: mine is good for food. but it's not what i consider an amazing pub other than that. an amazing pub should have a sunny garden in the summer and log fires in the winter, be busy but not rammed with cunts, and have a good range of vodkas.

As someone who did a pointless degree in "performing arts" of course I have done karaoke
But now as a pretend grown up I cant abide it, I think a few years of living near enough to a pub that every Saturday you could hear someone whining through Angels or my heart will go on would do that to even its most ardent fan.
Alt, local pub is a great village pub with a wide selection of fine ales and £2.50 a pint.

I used to teach guitar to a teenage girl, this was one of the songs she requested when I asked her if there were any particular ones she wanted to learn.
Others included songs by McFly and Busted and the theme from Friends.
I don't teach guitar any more.

I hate when people murder the typical karaoke ballads.
One pub I worked in had it 5 nights a week and it was the same people singing the same songs.
It was like Groundhog Day.
If it wasn't for the constant stream of alcohol I wouldn't have coped.

Nope.
Although I will say attending a silent disco and not putting any headphones on is the funniest thing you can experience.
Alt: Local's a shit hole, I just like the fact that it spends half of its time having their license under police review.

It's when they start singing along, but inevitably only know half the words.
Blur's Song 2 for example: -
"Woo hoo! mer mer mer mer mer mer mer... "Woo hoo!"
Absolutely everyone doing the same thing, looking like cunts and without the first clue about it.

Everyone has headphones.
You can listen to either mix A, or mix B.
You have to figure out from their dancing who's listening to which.
Then mime having sex at them until it finishes.
