If you're 13 and being told why you can't scream "friend of the family" in the hallways for the first time, then yeah.

This strawman dismissal worked pretty great a few years ago, not so much anymore.

Anyway the problem with manbearpig isn't that it was making fun of global warming. The problem is that the "50% one thing, 50% another thing, 50% another thing" joke was lazy and played out even at the time and Matt and Trey should be and are better than that.

If you can't get in on some good old fashioned making fun of Al Gore because you're too caught up in "50% 50% 50% joke ugh so tired and played out come on Matt and Trey I expect better" then dang man.

I could totally get into the Al Gore caricature, I just didn't like that specific aspect of manbearpig. It was a pretty central part of the manbearpig joke and it managed to give even me, a dumb middle schooler at the time, comedy douche chills.

I don't get it, why is the 3 halves thing played out? Not being American, is it 2000 Election or Inconvenient Truth related?

Are you kidding me? It's an old dad joke.

Sometimes people get mad when a joke is too simple because then they can't prove how smart they are by laughing at it.

I laugh at fart jokes, dude. Don't try to psychoanalyze people on the Internet for having harmless opinions that differ from yours, it's weird.
