One time I watched Friends while high, and I getting freaked out thinking I broke my brain because I couldn't understand the jokes. There would be laugh track after laugh track and I was just like, why??? I don't get it!!!! What is happening to me??
And then I saw it again while sober and was like oh, it's actually not funny, I was fine.
Friends is just the 90s version of the big bang theory change my mind
What were bazinga amerikans called before the big bang?
Apparently metrosexual was a thing? But they was for guys that actually washed their clothes and ass. Not really a Bazinga type person.
Yeah, I was a "metro" back then according to some people... not sure that's what they evolved into...
So no one warned you FRIENDS was gonna be this way
The vibes are bad, so sad, the jokes are anti-gay
perfect!I'm suprised people still talk about this show
I watched (not re-watched--I've literally never seen the series) Friends back in 2016 and even back then I could see every joke coming a mile away
It's just a shitty white copy of Living Single
Even as a teen I found it incredibly sus that Friends takes place in one of the most diverse places on earth and there isn't a single PoC main character.
Once my old roommate was like "hey you should watch the office, it's so funny" and then he put on an episode while I was cooking and made that face the entire time. He didn't laugh once and neither did I. I hate the office so much it's not funny at all
I was introduced to Rick and Morty multiple times over several years by well meaning friends, usually from "this clip will hook you for sure!" moments, and those moments ranged from making me unhappy, to disgusted, to questioning whether I wanted to still be friends with the person after that.
I probably won't rewatch the office, but I found it funny and I keep up on Rick and Morty, though I just find it entertaining and not really funny besides a few fucked up nihilistic one liners. This is how I know I still have some chud linked neurons firing around someplace in my soy cucked brain.
I only watched through season 2 but I found the episode where Rick meets up with the hive mind and ends up attempting to delete himself to be legitimately pretty good. It does a great job of conveying that Rick who is so intelligent he could have anything he wants is left feeling empty by his hedonistic lifestyle and self aware enough to know it but too nihilistic to do anything about it. Same reason I liked Bojack, I guess.
But then people started putting pickle rick memes all over everything and I never went back to it
Ironically, the pickle rick episode itself is pretty good. Being a pickle is an allegory for alcoholism and Rick attends therapy
The Office is one of the primordial spirits of Reddit that possesses Redditors when they post terrible takes.
@mod when can we have a hexbear hall of fame for comments like this
Abbott elementary and grand crew are the only good recent sitcoms I can recall
Arrested Development is the only sitcom I've watched in its entirety more than once (meaning all 3 seasons, shame they never made more)
Yeah same honestly. It's so bingeable. I'm glad they ended where they did though. I feel like if they had made a fourth or even, God forbid, fifth season, it wouldn't have been the same.
It's a shame more people didn't see Better Off Ted. Only got 2 seasons and it's one of my favorites
I remember that show being good, but also haven't watched it in ten years. Have you seen it more recently? Does it hold up?
More recently than that for sure. I'm no media critic but i find it pretty funny. Portia de Rossi is great. Some of the episodes were really great like the one where the company's new motion detecting lights and doors can't see black people or the one where they replace everyone's office chairs with abrasive fabric to increase productivity. Also the little advertisements bits https://youtu.be/yF3of5VRcNA?si=9leGuCmbIZq64rfY
As a liberal I enjoyed it when it was contemporary (libs hadn't recuperated Bush yet).
Now that I am the one true leftist watching anything by Tina Fey is
I feel the exact same way about Seinfeld. Yes yes, it's totally the origin of so many shows that came after it that I also feel the same way about. I hated Seinfeld in the 90s, and I hate the show now.
Probably depends on when you were born for some part of it. I think it's hilarious but I was born in 82
- My friends and other kids my age loved the show all through middle school, but my reaction to show has been the same as the above pic, then and now.
I was born in 1984 and I find the show deeply unfunny and off-putting.
FYI, posting Discord links with ?ex in the middle will expire at some point, so in future you should copy/save the image and reupload to Hexbear so the post is preserved for future viewers.
I can relate to this for a lot of shows, it might be that I'm autistic but a lot of humor hits differently or not at all for me. I find different things funny to other people.
