Annoyance: TV shows claiming to prove “intelligence”.

“Are you smarter than a 5th grader” has more to do with memory and luck than anything else. If you actually have a flawless memory, you should easily be able to win the million dollars. However, to actually study the right things before you get to participate in the show you would need and incredible amount of luck. The portion of knowledge you go through in such a small amount of questions is ridiculously tiny, but even so the only way to be sure of covering it would be to go through the grades one more time. That being said, the show somehow seems to entertain a lot of people, but once again I guess my taste is a bit different.
