    i-think-that I think edgelord Newgrounds humor, where the entire joke was “something gory happens,” were worse anyway.

    Happy Tree Friends, if you want a specific example. nyet

        It was not a good time seeing one of those videos, awkwardly laughing at the shock value of it once then getting pressured into watching more and more of pretty much the exact same shock value gimmick over and over and over and over again. Any attempt for me to back out or just do something else was “WHY ARE YOU SO SENSITIVE? WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR?!” smuglord desolate

      The problem with happy tree friends is it was the same joke every single time. Like ok yeah, the juxtaposition is amusing but that’s literally it

        No one I personally knew that was continually entertained by Happy Tree Friends beyond maybe a single one-off shock humor gimmick wound up being a good person later in life.

            South Park contaminated generations of viewers. I had just about given up trying to socialize offline with people my age back in CA because so many never fucking cleared out the irony poisoning there.
