Just a bunch of horrible, self-interested people
Always Sunny is also that way but I actually enjoy it?

Start on season 2. That’s when Devito shows up.
Season 1 is very funny though.
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
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
It happened the same to me but with Rick & Morty
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
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.

It did not age well.
Probably depends on when you were born for some part of it. I think it’s hilarious but I was born in 82
I was born in 1980 and I think Friends is insufferable.
yeah but it’s better than seinfeld… ugh, i hate tv.
I was born in 1984 and I find the show deeply unfunny and off-putting.
I am older than you, then, and I hate the show.
- 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.
79 here, it is shit. Always was. Just absolute garbage.
elon musk posted this on their x-er account today haha
Broken clock moment. The show sucks.
I tried watching Friends but all I saw were enemies.
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.
Have you tried laughing along with the laugh track?
The only good sitcoms are Always Sunny and 30 Rock
30 rock is legitimately the most hateful show I’ve ever watched.
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
Schits Creek anyone?
Scrubs was good
Omit peep show at ur peril tbh
abbot elementary
Abbott elementary and grand crew are the only good recent sitcoms I can recall
This is Malcolm in the Middle erasure.
hey fresh prince of belair was good too
Throw in Arrested Development and I agree 100%
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
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.
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.

The 90s were terrible for sitcoms, and most have aged horribly. The only 90s primetime show I genuinely still laugh at is Get a Life.
has there ever been a good time for sitcoms?
Scrubs was basically the only good sitcom even if it is still problematic at times
i’d argue peep show is the only good sitcom, but that’s even more problematic
Early 2000s were pretty good.
Curb your Enthusiasm & Arrested Development on at the same time. Flight of the Concords and 30 rock a bit later. Simpsons was slapping around this time as well.
IT IS THE DISTANT FUTURE… IT IS THE YEAR 2000
🎶THE HUMANS ARE DEAD🎶
There are some good British sitcoms like Blackadder and Yes Minister from the 1980’s. It could be survivorship bias though.
