I’ve been around for a while. When, exactly, were conservatives funny?

Not even their actual comedians are funny. The closest they’ve come is Norm MacDonald. Dennis Miller is objectively unfunny. Gilbert Gottfried just screeched & yelled a lot.

Did you mean Rush? Was Rush who you thought was funny?

I missed a word: “s1 ending was weak” is what that should have said, and that ties it to what we’re both speaking on, which is what you aptly termed “supernatural cock tease”. I think a good comparison for a similar show that delivered on the supernatural element throughout was the adaptation of Stephen King’s “The…

As much as I loved S1, I saw the S2 sophomore slump coming because if we’re being honest, the S1 was kind of weak (some critics did call this out). I think what they were trying to invoke with their noirish S2 was specifically a Chinatown vibe. That failed. Then they pivoted to what they did in S3 which was stronger…

I mean, we all knew this was coming, it was just a question of when. And that was before whatever various “habits” beyond greed drove leadership to create a pop for every conceivable IP, and endless variants therein (a real life demo of unequal infinities).
I think I have three of these? And by have I mean I bought…

I haven’t seen American Auto, but Grand Crew is pretty damn funny.

Using your example of Apu as a jumping off point, Apu is certainly flawed as a broad stereotype but he’s an original character. He’s not an edgy, ironic, meta self-layering over an established iconic character.
Velma is not good, and while there is certainly racist backlash, there is plenty of just plain critical…

lol.

privilege and power warp most, and to grow up with those influences as well as watching people scrape and claw and scheme all around you, I think it’s fair to assume that growing into a decent human being is a less likely outcome.

went through a drive-thru yesterday. The line wasn’t ridiculous but it still took forever. Chatted up the person at the window, turns out they’ve had workers calling out because of this shit.

You’re clearly only getting one of those (and that’s probably coming with the partial redemption the character gets in the source where his arrogance is balanced by him ultimately having the intention of protecting his people.
I think as far as abs, I think we’ve seen enough in the trailers to know he won’t be…

openly catfished a guy? what?

For the same reason /r/publicfreakout exists. We tend to be drawn to conflict and someone losing their shit falls in that category.

Ah yes, let’s highlight fucking Seinfeld, a show everyone has seen, isn’t an original Netflix IP, and is largely just a memberberry comfort snack at this point.
Just change the title to “The Shows We Bothered to Watch and Like on Netflix” because this list shows a definite ... bent ... and maybe needed a wider…
