This might be fun, you can name as many things as you want (althought try to avoid writing a list of 100+, lol) that you think are under rated or over rated, and why. You could also debate, just don't turn anything into a flame war please.
Sliced Bread, over rated. Why does everyone go mental about this? "oh, it's the best thing since sliced bread" Personally I prefer unsliced and cutting it myself, the crusts taste much better IMO.
Dragonforce, under rated. I rarely hear people talk about these guys, it's always "Iron Maiden this and Metallica that" when personally, I can't stand IR or M. These guys rock just as hard, and they're audible (think that's right, as in, understandable, 'cause they don't scream there way or slur there way through a song).
New Sony, over rated. I personally don't like them very much at all, there products are ok, but there's better. And in console terms, they suck. I loved my PS1, but since then I haven't enjoyed a console they've made, it's like they stopped w/e the hell it is that made em good. Nowq it's all about "cool" and "violence" which has had a negative effect on the gaming biz.
One more to make it even. New Simpsons, under rated. Alot of people who were huge Simpsons fans now claim that the Simpsons is total crap today. Yes the older episodes were better (one of the reasons is 'cause the older episodes had the late great Phil Hartman), but that doesn't mean that the new ones suck. I still laugh at the new episodes, quite a bit too (except the over hyped Gervais one).
You?

Some people might not be aware of this, but there was a time when bread couldn't be purchased pre-sliced. It also wasn't enriched, soft, puffy white bread that's a joke to cut anyway. I'm guessing these people have never had to slice a bagel before.

You'd likely die in the act anyway, and if you didn't get caught you'd have enough money to leave all your troubles behind and start anew somewhere, or just buy a sailboat and sail around the world, or whatever you wanted to do.
This is all there is. Why would you want to end it prematurely?

Sorry, far to many to reply to directly, but this one needs a reply. And the one below.
IGN have just rated Futurama as the 3rd, or maybe the 4th best cartoon show ever, and FG only got 6th. I fail to see your logic here. F is hugely popular. And FG is amazingly funny.
Scrubs is also big. So I don't see why people say it's under rated. MGS 1 was an amazing game. Halo does suck out loud.
Glad to see some Dragonforce fans here :)
Overated Football (any kind. U.S or Soccer, they all suck).
Under rated. Hockey, the real kind not that field Hockey crap.
Also, Green Day are totally overated.

Oh that is an acquired ability. Once you get used to it you can read through it effortlessly on a crowded train.

Prevalence of the recessive blue eye color gene has nothing to do with it being overrated or underrated.
I suggest you look up the definition of the term "overrated."

I saw a surgery just 2 weeks ago where they plucked an old woman's eyeball out of it's socket as if they were scooping for a ball of icecream. They even had to hammer out a part of the bone of her skull. Ironically the surgery was planned to just be a pretty small reconstruction surgery of her left temple from her skin cancer, they didn't expect the take off her eye. Kinda sad that I was there so damn early before they even drugged her. To imagine that very moment was the last time in her life she will ever use that eye. Sad.
She didn't even get skin cancer from getting tans on purpose, she just lived in a small town in a tropical, sunny area.
I highly advocate keeping your skin healthy and dead-neck pale. So what if people say everyday you look so pale you seem like a corpse. Heck, I can't even get a tan even if I wanted to because my skin is so damn pale. Might as well enjoy it by freaking people out.
I agree with the first part. I've never found blue eyes to be particularly attractive. However I find dark (very dark) brown eyes to be most beautiful.
I personally tend to find blue eyes bvoring and HIGHLY overrated in Mexico. People just gorge and slobber over any idiot who has them. I actually get annoyed when people errouneously say I have blue eyes. They're dull green!!! I personally like really dark brown eyes.
Yeah, if that's how it works, explain to me how the recessive "O" blood type gene is the most prevalent blood type. :P
The first known humans were probably O-. As humans conquered new lands, new blood mutations appeared. Rh + appeared pretty early and it spread around the world quite heavily except in select regions like the Basque region on Spain (which kinda explains why I'm -). A type blood started to appear around at least 2000 years ago and spread heavily into Europe. B (which is almost genetically identical to A) appeared over a 1000 years ago and settled mostly in Asia and Africa (which explains why it's so common in Japan). AB type blood appeared around 900 years ago as populations from dominating A and B regions of the world blended in.
If there's nobody in a region with A or B blood, it just won't appear out of nowhere. Most indigenous mexicans are type O. AB almsot doesn't even exist in this country. Only 3% of the population is Rh -. I'm screwed.

Ooh, Mermaid Saga; I'm heavily interested into watching this series. I've heard it's very good. Inuyasha is definitely overrated. Still a fun series, but it's excessively abundant and dumb fillers and inconclusive ending makes the show annoying to watch more than twice.
There's far better Rumiko anime. Like Urusei Yatsura.

Not much is said about Meade, and I thought overall he was an OK general.
