@SuperSnekFriend @LukeAlmighty holy shit I know scumbags who are exactly like this.

@branman65 @LukeAlmighty In the past century, when you were allowed to joke about marriage, it was almost always to ridicule one's own marriage, the marriage of another person, or some hypothetical marriage. There usually would be some variation of "I'm glad my spouse is dying [or dead]" bit for the really edgy.

Now, it doesn't generally seem like people joke about that anymore, even in the negative, like the very concept is anathema.

I'MA GITCHO ASS

@SuperSnekFriend @LukeAlmighty boomers who do the "i hate my wife" bit should get kicked in the dick

@SuperSnekFriend @LukeAlmighty I think that Season 2 of Smiling Friends was worse than Season 1, however at least everybody there likes each other. One Show where People like each other, is that so hard?

@Waldbrand @SuperSnekFriend @LukeAlmighty As much as I've loved the sleepycabin crew for over a decade, I have to admit the show feels derivative. I feel like I've seen it a hundred times before. That being said the fact that it's remotely watchable puts it in the top 0.1% of tv programs easily.

@branman65 @LukeAlmighty It's one of the main reasons I find "adult" tv shows cringe. It's like if a late middle school student wrote an "adult" show. It may be because seemingly everything is cringe today, but I miss shows like transformers animated, ben 10, and others that just wanted to tell a good story with heroes or just be some nonsensical fun. It's all so boring, political, and cringe these days.

@TrueMasterCole @branman65
Well, that is because in the kids shows, tye characters "act like adults", and actually care about the problem at hand.

Meanwhile, in adult show, all characters care about "me me me, fuck fuck fuck, now now now". And that is literally the opposite of an adult world view.

@TrueMasterCole @LukeAlmighty the Simpsons was a mistake

@TrueMasterCole @LukeAlmighty I remember watching the big bang theory and thinking everyone was a degen

@branman65 @TrueMasterCole @LukeAlmighty The Big Bang Theory was also a mistake

@LordMordred @TrueMasterCole @LukeAlmighty so true

@LordMordred @branman65 @LukeAlmighty BBT may not have been patient zero, but it can easily be attributed to one of the prevailing reasons this sort of humor has spread so badly. A good number people I watch have also pointed out how BBT subverted nerd culture to make it, for a lack of better word, "mainstream".

@TrueMasterCole @branman65 @LukeAlmighty Pretty much

@TrueMasterCole @LordMordred @LukeAlmighty BBT was for tourists by tourists

@Svantovit @LukeAlmighty dudeweedlmao
