Does Toby Keith still do poo poo? If so, that's not Pantera that's him. The worst thing about growing up rural in the early 2000s is that I still get "CUZ WELL PUT A BOOT IN YER rear end ITS THE AMURRICAN WAY" stuck in my head.

Toby Keith is not as obviously Proud American since America killed Bin Ladin and won the war on terrorism. There’s simply no need for it.

I went to Toby Keith's steakhouse inside Winstar after a concert and ordered a giant platter of chili cheese fries and only ate like one because I was on mushrooms and had no appetite Probably should've seen that coming

I did a bunch of calculations and realised that the deeply unpleasant Phil Anselmo is in the band and divided that by every camo shorted wall punching Pantera fan I've ever met. To clarify, big trucks and The Punisher are kind of dumb but cool, but the worst people love those things and it sours the original thing a bit.

The problem with live action adaptations of anime is that they adapt anime that are popular in the west, instead of anime that would work well as a western live action movie or series.

And if I cared about how the show "did" that might mean something. The show's going to do exactly what Netflix wants it to do-- drive conversation and get a few stray subscriptions. They weighed the cost of negative critical feedback versus whatever metrics they think the show will drive and determined it was worth doing. I was talking about a creative success that exists as more than a curiosity even one year out from its release. Adapting Cowboy Bebop as a creative project is a near-impossible needle to thread. You have to be faithful to what came before on some level, but what you're being faithful to is style over substance so you have to either be cool via mimicry of someone else's style (near impossible) or cool in an entirely different way (something that existing fans will hate on principle). It's a really thankless job in that regard.

What are you even talking about Like, I don't think that Claire's treatment was particularly bad, especially in the context of literally every other representation of trans folk in media, and in early-2000s-webcomics specifically. And given that almost 100% of the audience is basically purely composed of queer folks at this point, any problems with quality in representation got fixed up real quick, a very very long time ago. alexandriao has a new favorite as of 00:48 on Aug 31, 2021 |

That being said if you pick a random strip and just decide to read, it's not going to make a whole lot of sense to you because it's developing characters, and the jokes may either look out of place, too obvious, or weird. It's like dropping into season 6 of Frasier, it's going to look weird but that doesn't mean the overall quality is bad, when you have the full context of what has happened previously and know the characters.

You mean season 8, right? That's the one defined by changing up the status quo with the terrible Daphne and Niles plot and the terrible Roz stops being a slut plot. Season 7 is rather continuity heavy too as it all leads up to Daphnes wedding.

I like witch house as a music genre, but mainly as instrumental. Listening to an internet radio of it has way too much of that specific male voice singing; if you know the genre you know what I mean.

I think tbh if you drop someone into a random episode of Frasier all they are going to see are the big niles-exploding-shaving-cream parts, and people being mean to eachother Either that or the smaller parts will bounce off easier because there's no background for those jabs and references

alexandriao posted:I think tbh if you drop someone into a random episode of Frasier all they are going to see are the big niles-exploding-shaving-cream parts, and people being mean to eachother Up until like season 7 it's not like the show lore ever got that complex or self-referencey. Martin is a normal guy, his kids are fancy lads, Niles wants to gently caress the maid, Roz is sassy and sleeps around. All of the humor comes from those characters interacting in the given situation of an episode. Even when a minor recurring character like Lilith showed up, their character and relationships were simple enough that they were clearly communicated early on in the episode through dialogue and performance. The one thing a new viewer might have trouble with is the emotional episodes, because they aren't attached enough to the characters yet. But even then, the first episode got pretty emotional and it worked great because it had strong characters performed well and the drama was based on simple universal relationships. All of which is because Frasier, like most shows before DVD box sets and streaming, was made assuming most viewers weren't going to watch every episode. And like all sitcoms of the era it was intended for syndication, so from the get go the idea was that any episode could be someone's first. It was just that once the show became such a huge hit that they could expect a baseline familiarity with the concept from the audience and it had gone on so long that they felt the need to shake things up that the lore became important as characters and their relationships shifted significantly.

To be clear, if you had said a season 9 episode of Frasier I'd totally agree with you. Especially since by that point imo the quality had taken a noticeable dip and attachment to the characters had become a larger motivation to watch the show. It's just that you said season 6, before the big relationship shake ups and quality dip that I disagree with.

Seinfeld and Frasier both suck rear end and are only good if you were there for the zeitgeist. Saying they're good is like saying Transformers and He-man were better than the 90s nickelodeon lineup or Steven Universe or whatever infinitely better non-action-figure-commercial cartoons have come since. It's Big Bang Theory but for olds. Having only seen them in reruns as a teenager there was literally no difference in funny between Seinfeld, Frasier, and like, the Kevin James one Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 01:59 on Aug 31, 2021 |

I followed it for like, 6 years before realizing it wasn't very good. The author insert character is unbelievably bland, and the narrative gets spiced up every year or two by adding a new character that Fake edit: jfc its been going for 18 years now lol.

Webcomocs are comics made by people that weren't good enough to make regular comics. They're almost universally less funny than even Family Circus. It's like comparing your friend's self published hundred page horror novel about his divorce only with vampires to a Stephen King novel.

another phuo: people need to stop pretending "the canadian Conservatives are the same as the US Democrats" because 1. no lol they are full-on fash MCGAs who aren't quite as loud, and 2. Trudeau is literally Francophone Obama but More Privilege and you are giving the Liberals way too much credit pretending they are better or leftier than the Dems The best you can grant is the Conservatives is more lip service to public healthcare but also more fellating a dude across the sea with a fancy name This is exclusively said by americans who know nothing about Canada and canadians who still insist it's USA But Good.

Seinfeld was funny because it's relatable in various ways. Shows like big bang theory just aren't relatable. Even as someone who was what they were supposed to be when i watched it, I didn't find it relatable. Nobody I ever worked with was like any of the characters, and if they were they would be shunned because they're so obnoxious. Like maybe you don't find it funny but it's insulting to compare Seinfeld to shows like big bong theory and that kevin james show. Nobody in 20 years will remember the kevin james show. I've seen several episodes and I still don't remember the name. But people will still remember Seinfeld.
