Don’t forget Primal, Joe Pera Talks With You (Definitely my recent favorite. An actually wholesome [as] show is a welcome addition in times like this), Eric Andre, Black Jesus, Black Dynamite, ATHF and a bunch more. If it weren’t for the shit Fox reruns it’d be the most experimental shit on television even if it can be hit or miss.
I’m talking an experience I had in the early 2010s over at a friends house. No Adult Swim but shitty ass Simpsons? That was allowed. If you were lucky, Fox or one of their affiliates would be rerunning an old episode alongside a new one but that’s it. I was as mad as hell because [adult swim] was and still is the shit, at least once you wade through the Fox reruns early on.
No, he did not. He’s still alive but he obviously can’t coach wrestling now. I wouldn’t laugh if he died from COVID since he was one of those rare circumstantial bullies (Shithead dad and got picked on for being fat so he projected his anger onto easy targets) but I will laugh at his current situation since apparently he’s still an asswipe and at this point his friends and shit have broken off because of his own choices.
Straight up! The golden era of Simpsons (S2-8 or 9 depending on who you ask) is genuinely some of the best network television ever. Insanely consistent without a dud episode in sight, tons of all-time-great episodes in that era, changed the game in television in general and forced a radical shift across the board and got massive ratings, I don’t know what else you could want out of a series of its kind.
Yet people forget that and tie it to just how AWFUL the new stuff is, it bogs down just how good the past stuff was. Could you imagine if after S8 they said “Fuck it, we’re ending this show with a movie”, basically doing The Simpsons Movie over 10 years sooner? Could you imagine the blowout success and the writing quality coming together for a massive 2 hour series finale? Good god it would’ve been on the level of Star Wars merchandise but they waited too long and South Park/Family Guy out-edged them so The Simpsons outlived its usefulness in that regard. Now its just “The show Christian moms let their kids watch because Adult Swim is too spooky” and I say this from experience.
I remember a bully of mine that genuinely wanted to be a general in World War 3
He went on to lose pretty much all his hair, lost his girlfriend of like 2 years because she came out as a lesbian and got some stupid ass lumberjack job for a year and then coached wrestling to kids until COVID came up. Haha, fuck you Tucker.
Full of inconsistency (In that environment must be pushed to the forefront which is correct but that the environmentalism movement must split off from the left which is inconsistent in that right-wing ideology is incompatible, though you could take this as a critique of identity politics from how he phrases it but even so, it is still a ludicrous statement) and anarcho-primitivism especially when “disassociated from the left” is meme ideology that could never function without somehow magically converting every last person on earth as it rules under the assumption that outside interests will play along rather than capitalists swarming in if you show to be weaker than them defensively and have something worth taking.
