On the other place I constantly saw memes of shows that I thought ‘well if they’re that popular they must be pretty good’
Shows like:
Avatar, The Office, Parks and Rec and IT Crowd
I’ve watched them and I just don’t get it. They aren’t so amazing that they are worth that level of adoration IMO. Avatar has its good spots and Parks and Rec is pretty enjoyable but I cringe at American office and IT crowd is forgettable.
However a show I actually really like, Community, only started getting the same type of treatment after the pandemic because people watched it on Netflix. Although it’s still not as popular as these others. Are people just really basic or am I out of touch?
Anyway, what show did you watch and think ‘I don’t get what the fuss is about’? Maybe it was Community?
I couldn’t get into Game Of Thrones either tbh, it was so rapey.
Seinfeld is ok for an episode here and there. Why is everyone yelling all the time in so many American shows though? Is it comfortable for you guys to listen to that for multiple episodes at a time?
The “Seinfeld effect” is what you call it when people think something is unfunny because its style of humour has been done to death, even though that particular show invented that style of humour and was extremely innovative at the time of its creation.
I don’t know how to express myself unless through anger and personal attack!
Can you explain this comment please? I don’t understand why/how you got anger and personal attacks from what I wrote.
That’s a line from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
You need to work on your conversation skills.
What do you mean?
Imagine a coworker said what I said, and you walk up to them and say your reply to his face word for word.
What would that coworker think of that interaction?
I have autism and thought I did pretty well in this interaction before I got the crit back. I have no idea what a coworker would think.
My gut says it either has to do with the way shows were filmed, or it’s a leftover from theatrical plays.
