Manuel Calavera posted:I'm not missing anything, having never watched BBT, right? All I know about it is "NERD REFERENCE" "BAZINGO" and that's probably the extent of the show. Maybe a "life lesson" once in awhile. It's pretty much Intelligent Life but in sitcom form. Perhaps leaning more towards computer nerds than superhero nerds but you get the idea.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but it's definitely lowest common denominator sitcom stuff. It plays well to folks who are still watching TV with any amount of regularity - my folks watch it if it's on, for example. Also, to its credit, it had the most accurate depiction of theoretical research ever captured on film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3UXNDKzKJU

Would Scott Adams care if he were called out of touch with tech? I know he's fine with having horrible views. I mean, nobody makes clunky metal humanoid robots. I know that was the big thing back when he last worked in an office. I.e., during the Reagan/H.W. Bush years. But now human looking robots are designed to look like people. Or they're boxy plastic things used as people movers because Japan doesn't want to import foreign caregivers. Meanwhile, AIs like Watson are boxy computers with a screen and an interface. Which works just fine because you can just send a message to it and it'll answer the question no matter where it was asked He's not funny, his technical references are more dated than Family Matters, just quit already.

Somehow it really irks me that the VHS tapes could be from the 1990s like Friends, Ducktales, TMNT, Batman cartoon et cetera and it would be believable, but Gilchrist gotta Gilchrist.

Tiggum posted:He doesn't live in a cardboard box. He lives alone in an abandoned house that's probably horrendously unsafe for anyone, let alone a child. Because he's too proud to accept charity and all the adults who know him respect him too much to force charity on him. The next time Child Protective Services finds a kid living by himself, on his own wits, who cheerfully says he got the idea from an old newspaper comic strip he/she found lying around, hopefully it'll go viral and Gilchrist will be brought up on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and forced to retcon Sluggo's living arrangement.

See, the counterargument to hating on Gilchrist's nostalgia porn is that only old people and obsessive internet weirdos read newspaper comics anymore anyway.

In reality, most kids at that time didn't give two shits about the brunettes, it was Farrah they wanted (as evidenced by the sales of the now-famous red swimsuit poster she did.) I am now expecting Sluggo to announce that he's distancing himself from the two vets because he 'likes vets that didn't get captured..'

When I was a little kid I read newspaper comics when I ate breakfast. I didn't really understand most of them but I liked the art. I actually remember loving Hi and Louis because the wife reminded me of Nancy from Snowboard Kids.
