Not sure fake-Brit is really on the same level.

The problem is, from what my Israeli friends tell me, that most of the English idioms Ziva is baffled by are ones that any English-speaking Israeli should grasp with ease. Like, it's not that she can't translate "pop-up ad", it's that one appears on her computer and she has no idea what the fuck it is; she needs the…

Well there you go.

Well, I mean, if you were a Breitbarter in the 80s, your beliefs were government policy, and you had nothing to complain about.

Well yes but the Internet in the 90s and 00s were overrun with the sorts of people we've now quarantined largely to #Chan and Reddit. It's more that a greater quantity of sensitive people are now using the internet, or at lest a greater quantity of people who're no longer willing to accept putting up with jackassery…

You'd be surprised. Being what we now call transgender was pretty widely shrugged at in the 20s and 30s, look how we treat it now.

Nah, man, watching people get hit in the groin makes you a bad person unworthy of reproduction, but enjoying that sort of thing also makes you more likely to have sex, which means eventually folks who like physical comedy outpopulate all the smart people.

I mean, regardless of whether I personally think South Park is good satire—it's a rabbit hole I don't have the time or the patience to go down right now—the fact that you think it's good satire and that it remains on TV basically unchallenged contradicts your earlier point about how you can't have racist characters on…

Probably a contract negotiation—oh no, wait, I'm thinking of Harry Shearer.

pretty sure there's like fifty thousand other simpsons characters they need him for

If corned beef is a Jewish thing can someone please explain to me why it is SO FUCKING HARD TO FIND KOSHER CORNED BEEF

Abed of course being a real person we should definitely listen to and not a fictional character written by and large by a buncha white guys

I mean. I think it's less "no one wants to see silent black and white movies" and more "turns out filmmakers like having a diverse set of storytelling tools" that's keeping that sort of thing from being made. But sure.

Yes, and her lines are things like "What is this 'pop up ad' of which you speak". Good casting doesn't necessarily counteract bad writing.

Does your dog bite? yeah yeah yeah Hey Andy!

I mean, this kinda shit is inevitable as you grow and learn, sadly. There are definitely things I loved in my youth that I look back on now and go "oh, god, that probably actually hurt folks." Even when it's stuff I think is coming from a good place! I doubt Bryan Fuller's got something against Native Americans but a…

One of the more irritating things about Idiocracy in hindsight is how Judge seems to think inoffensive physical comedy will doom us all, when in practice it's looking more and more like racially offensive comedy will be sending us up the bomb.

The Artist made money.

I mean. Nothing's stopping them from taking Azaria away from this one part.

South Park, basically anything Seth MacFarline puts out. 2 Broke Girls— odds on most CBS sitcoms are good, honestly. Any hour-long drama involving terrorists. (And even some that don't—NCIS thinks Israel is somewhere on Jupiter, apparently.)
