My name is Jeremy. Not the most common name in the world. We're out there, but it's not, oh, let's say Robert. Anyways, MTV2 has been running commercials for the upcoming season of Wonder Showzen, which is the most bizarre piece of genius ever. So the commercials are kind of weird. I missed the first part, but it's a kid in a leprechaun suit singing to himself. And he finishes it up with "I call it Jeremy, and Jeremy scares me," in a bad Irish accent. Somehow, I think I'm scaring this kid.

No, but my stereo says good-bye when I turn it off.

My Microwave says " Enjoy your Meal" when it is finished cooking.

My DVD player also says "Hello" when I turn it on.
Mrs Hod, on the other hand, usually just says "Get off."

Which I would hope you do, having turned her on and all. ;)

The TV dosen't talk to me. Neither does my radio. I'd say my Game Boy talks to me... if it can.

Whenever I was Star Trek: DS9, the character Quark tells me to set things on fire and kill people.

My CD player says, "What kind of $#!T %@&*%% are you gonna make me play now?"
MY DVD player is broken, so it does not say anything except a meager "HELP."

Huh. Howy and I have the same exact model of bookshelf stereo.
The only time the TV ever talked to me was while I playing the Bloodlines PC game. I was playing an insane vampire, and one of the cool things in the game is that they add some mysterious voices to the soundtrack for the crazy vampire's delusions, plus there is a scene early on when the newscaster on the tv set in the vampire's haven speaks directly to your character.

I've never felt like the tv was talking to me personally, but as a wee'un watching reruns of That Girl on one of the local UHF stations I was excited to encounter the first tv character I'd ever seen that shared my name, the main character's boyfriend.
I developed a small crush on Marlo Thomas as a result.

My TV talked to me. It said, "You should go and post a nonsensical reply to a thread started by StoneGold."

I once rode in a car that said "a door is ajar" every time a door was left open.

No it isn't. It's a door. This is a jar.

I once rode in a car that said "a door is ajar" every time a door was left open.My friend Maureen used to own a Chrysler that did that. It also said "thank you" when you closed the door, so whenever she was the designated driver, you can imagine how many times the doors got opened and closed by all the drunk passengers.

"Get off," or "Get off me!"?
It makes a difference. :D

Now you made me remember that line in "The Crow" movie... That totally cracked me up.
"Your door... is ajar. Your door... is ajar."
"Damn stupid foreign cars!"

Gods, that would drive me batty. I'd pay a mechanic good money to turn it off for me.

My real name is common, so you can guess how shocked was I when a movie seems to refer to me doing something.

Every time I watched that with my niece, I'd stay really quiet in the hopes Swiper would swipe something.
