Who’s on First is problematic because none of the fake baseball players in this 100 year old sketch were black... or something. I’m not even sure but I feel like I’m supposed to get mad.

My favorite part of Gone with the Wind” is “I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout birthin’ no babies!”

I think the author of the piece forgot that the show was originally described as “cringe comedy” precisely because of dumb shit Michael did.

Is this brave columnist going to review “All in the Family” next?

That’s funny, because just yesterday I was sitting in a company-mandated training about discrimination and though “they could just show an episode of The Office and it would prove the same points while being far more entertaining.”

I just finished watching all of Hogan’s Heroes and, after doing some reading, those Nazi fellas might not have been what the show made them out to be.

It’s incredible that what you’re saying should be obvious, yet some people just can’t grasp the text. This was always supposed to be cringe humor and the bad behavior was always supposed to be something that you disagree with and anyone with any self awareness shouldn’t be acting that way. It’s also obvious that these…

How many more iterations of “this thing everyone likes is PROBLEMATIC” will society tolerate before it gets old? Five, six thousand?

I can’t wait for GQ’s upcoming article outing the main characters of Seinfeld as “mean”.

My problem with this take is that I never thought Jim was supposed to be a model for how one should act in such a situation. He’s more aware of the fact that he’s working a dead-end job in a completely inappropriate work environment, which makes the audience identify with him a bit more, but his response to this…

How dare you enjoy something when it CLEARLY OFFENDS MY WOKE-ASS BAE SENSIBILITIES.

I also think it had a lot to do with the inherent likability of Steve Carell. He’s just too good at the “kicked puppy” reaction to play a raging asshole for multiple seasons. There’s also the difference between US and British sensibilities, which is just a cultural thing. Americans generally want some sort of…

I love to do this too! Why, every time I watch a western, I’m like “those horses sure wouldn’t be able to walk down a street today, what with all the cars and stuff!”

Michael isn’t punished as much as he should be, sure, but it’s a TV show that ran for multiple seasons, so that wouldn’t change regardless of when it aired. But I disagree with a lot of the premise here—if anything, this show is more relevant than ever. Michael is clearly shown to be a buffoon who makes everyone…

alternative headline, “GQ Finally Gets Joke.”

I think you guys shoukd just stop watching films and tv because you do nothing but suck the fucking joy out of life with horseshit like this.

If you’re going to take it in that light than don’t consume any entertainment or media at all because it’ll eventually be ‘problematic’.

The work environment being toxic was an intended part of the show. It was never meant to make the audience feel comfortable.

Why take the effort to put things into historical context when you can sneer at them for free profit?
