This is the show where simply acknowledging a character owns/owned a NES was the entire punchline of a joke.
Show threadtylerMar 14
Yeah if you turn off the laugh track this show is terrible, for so many reasons.
Show threadHellfire103Mar 14

There’s your problem. Just keep the laugh track on and it stays funny.

Same deal with Friends and also a fair amount of standup.

This show had a character that physically could not speak to women without being intoxicated. I think they eventually created a pharmaceutical drug to resolve this.

EDIT: As for Friends, there was a lot of fat phobia and gay panic.

If I recall, they literally just dropped it one episode and acknowledged it with an “oh well.”
Show threadP00ptartMar 14

He eventually got over it, but yeah it was forced and uncomfortable.

Friends I never understood. I didn’t have a problem with most of it. It just… Sucked. It wasn’t good. I had more of a problem with Seinfeld but accepted that it was superior.

Show threadhopesdeadMar 14
I’d rethink any opinions you have of Jerry Seinfeld. He thinks the phrase “Free Palestine” is worse than the Holocaust.
Show threadP00ptartMar 14
Don’t get me wrong, he sucks. But his show was better than friends.
Show threadSmoogsMar 14

Hard disagree. People still laughing cuz he wore a poofy shirt and it’s not even a cohesive joke. He just wore a shirt. Woopdeefuckindoo.

“Airline food. What is the deal with that?” Why are people laughing?

I’ve read 5 yr olds put together more cohesive story with crayons. Dude was just lazy.

Do you think Larry David is funny.
Show threadGrandwolf319Mar 14

Not op but nope. Same with office as well.

There are just some people that enjoy watching others be uncomfortable and I think it’s correlated with having less empathy.

When I watched the office, I just felt bad for Michael.

A lot of those shows just focus on punching down.

Show threadGreyEyedGhostMar 14
I liked the office overall, but the first season and a half was almost physically painful at times. They really toned down the schadenfreude at that point and pivoted Michael to being inept but lovable. The last season or so was all over the place.
Show threadP00ptartMar 14
Yeah I don’t like the office either, or parks and rec, arrested development, or any show that relies on being painfully uncomfortable.
Show threadtylerMar 14
Yeah the shows that punch down are just terrible. I also didn’t like the office. Seinfeld has to be one of the worst shows ever made, same for everybody loves Raymond. They’re just shows meant to make you mad and have you laugh at the less well off.
Show threadNannerBannerMar 15
Everybody loves raymond had its moments. There is definitely a lot of relatable humor in your in-laws living across the street. The brother was always pretty fantastic as well. What was weird in the show’s setup was that raymond was often the straight man.
Show threadSmoogsMar 15
Hell no.
