Mecca made a really funny comment on my Instagram the other day, so I respect him more now.
I've noticed this as well. I went back and watched some same-level (or, marketed that way) tv shows a few weeks ago, and the comparison was incredible to see. I really don't know what's happening, or why? Are policies so strong now that they have to generically whitewash everything and try and sneak in a "funny" adult moment? There's just a real lack of creativity out there these days from the larger entertainment conglomerates, which is kind of expected, but I never really thought it'd be this bland.LoathedVermin72 wrote:You know, this is a trend I've been noticing in "alternative comedy" lately.

it looks like Disney's version of the Ghostbusters, so much so that I had to check the wiki page to see who produced this.

I think it's just that the writers are really awful. It doesn't seem like any kind of corporate influence - just unfunny material.bodysnatcher wrote:I've noticed this as well.

In movies? Kinda, yeah. Not in TV, though - that's all they have.durdencommatyler wrote:Good thing writers are irrelevant, eh J?LoathedVermin72 wrote:I think it's just that the writers are really awful.

I also wonder at what point I ever wronged coppertom. I'm generally a jackass throwing shit at the wall, so maybe it's not one isolated incident
