    Normal person is old white man getting arrested for harassing a school board

    Not normal is when gay person

    Height of comedy. Also there's gotta be something going on with right wing self-image, or maybe just who they're trying to appeal to. I remember in 2016 the image they tried to project was hip, cool type of internet racist who knows memes. Now with this and the stupid Mr. Birchum show it's like their self-image is instead very grumpy impotent old man.

    Their ideal image is of a befuddled old man who doesn't understand anything and annoys everyone. An old man who complains a lot but never accomplishes or changes anything, that's who they see themselves as. Also this guy is like 65 years old with a teenage daughter in high school? Pardon?

      "transitioning ta what?"

      "hopefully not a jets fan"

      lol this show is awesome. bland yet miserable protagonist. pronouns. laugh track that goes "whoo!" when a cool character enters the sitcom house. fucking amazing. like even dumber than a 2002 parody of something in an already kinda shitty south park episode

      edit: the big setup and payoff when the old guy gets

      spoiler

      beer cum shot all over his face and the dog starts eating it, and then elon musk walks in and is declared saviour of mankind as shitty country music plays

      is fantastic. this can not possibly be made by actual conservatives, it's too good

        Snuck that in right at the end. I couldn't get through the video the first time I opened it, but this line convinced me to watch the rest. When it was winding down I started feeling pretty irritated that I got tricked into watching the rest of the video.

        Are we expecting Musk to have regular cameos and shit and proudly claim that he's closely involved with the show, only to distance himself once it starts becoming apparent that everyone hates the cartoon?

    How to sell frothingfash PATRIOT ACT as a construct of "the left" mission-accomplished

    Then that ONE CAN which wasn't even rainbow colored - just her face - that wasn't even available to the public as omg I can't drink my addiction in peace! It offends me soooo much oooaaaaaaauhhh

    That's the opening and when I cringeed out.

    the best thing in a television comedy is when a character turns to the camera and says "this is funny. you're laughing now. our jokes are good."

    The laugh track to make it seem like All In The Family (for some reason?) makes it so surreal. Comes off as satire because it's so obviously stupid.

        that's why they do the bit at the end about the freeze frame where the characters are trying to remain still, even though that's not what a freeze frame is and it doesn't make sense to do.

    It's incredible how much dehumanising language they managed to cram into those 3 minutes.

    Also, the daughter and her friend come across as really nice people, despite their best efforts (unless there is an element of rebellion amongst the people who make this).

    FUCK! Somehow my brain interpreted "Dave Rubin" as "Don Hertzfeldt" and I was VERY EXCITED. I gotta pay attention to the comm before letting emotions happen.

      Nope, just the dude who went from being a right wing grifter on TYT to being a full-fat right wing grifter!

    I didn't realise this was the dunk tank, took the title of this post literally, and I was shocked at how bad leftists would write comedy.

          You're a better person for not having to waste brain space on knowing who this fella is.
