The way some people online are talking, I should trade in all my progressive cred and start wearing a MAGA hat and read Briebart becuase I enjoy this season. Holy poo poo people are taking issue with everything, calling the show racist, and anti-woman, pro-rape and so on. Holy poo poo, has progressives become incredibly humorless or is it just the people I know? Like Kimmy the feminist, the whole joke is these kids have these high minded and correct beliefs and ideals, but they still kids and will do dumb poo poo. Kid who calls his mom after rejecting isn't a "consent is for whiny millennials" but "this guy is a baby"" . Drunk as poo poo Xan was adorable. Everyone is completely over the top and turned up to 11, not unlike the Simpsons so everyones ridiculous. Maybe I'm just old and don't get the kids these days. I think pretty much everyone from 30 rock save Kennith and Jack was on this season. Omg Ray Liotta with a Bodega cat!!!

wizard on a water slide posted:Assuming you aren't just tilting at strawmen the problem isn't that your friends are humorless, censorious progressives, it's that they're idiots. Because of a shallow, surface reading rather than actually getthing that part was just part of a while joke. They also complained about how Perry going "oh so white girl walks in and gets a scholarship" was never addressed even though it's pretty clear he googled Kimmy and found out what she'd been trough and realized she needed as much help as possible Though I am not saying to a trans person "you're dumb and don't get the joke" because that sounds exactly what some alt right poo poo head would say when their racist joke doesn't go over. Though this person also complained recently that Cis people should stop using cis to describe themselves because some trans people consider themselves cis. Is there a thing such as too woke? Spatula City posted:I try not to let outrage addicts bother me, but the criticisms leveled at that episode in particular have been really wrongheaded. I know Fey and Carlock are middle aged, but they seem to have a pretty good grasp on millennials, and the criticism is more sophisticated than "lol look how 'woke' they are". The biting part is when it's shown that they use a cockeyed interpretation of feminism to justify doing what they would've done anyway. Yep, that's how i felt too. I always thought the Native American stuff was done fairly well. Jaquelyn's parents always came across as "here's a stereotype, oh wait no its not, native Americans are people like everyone else". I feel like younger people judge everything by how woke it is. Or that the kind of comedy I grew up with, which involved a lot of exaggeration for comedic effect and everyone being terrible so you can get away with having some problematic characters, doesn't exist anymore. Like the Simpsons, they can get away with a character like Apu because he may be a terrible sterotype, he is still better than Homer. Finished the season, I want more of Kimmy's dog puns.

Escobarbarian posted:This was still a funny season but maybe the worst yet? The arcs weren't very strong and a lot of stuff felt forgotten about. The whole Russ storyline was awful - is David Cross really that busy? And there were too many A-plots about weird stuff that really isn't that funny, like the whole bathroom key episode. As a Ray Liotta and a cat delivery system, it was great.

I just realized when Titus came over to Jacquelyn's he said his boyfriends name was D'fawn, which was his character on 30 rock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wGMSKz3Ic0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUCAE-31_60 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2MuXDjFTy4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpVpDKZOEYc Man i forgot how good that character was.

Part of me kind of wishes Kimmy and Xan get a place together after she realized living with Titus is terrible. But then Titus basically moves in. But that is kinda hackney.

I love her dad going "We came here on the great metal bird...wait what I am saying? I was in the airforce" or something to that extent. The Seattle Cookies You think are chocolate chip but are actually raisin once you bite into them. I loving hate that. They're cookies, they're not going to be healthy if you put rotten grapes in them!

Is there any love for Gretchen's boy cult? "Miss Gretchen, we glued our wieners together again".

Sash! posted:These words came out of Jack "the Master Baiter" Donaghy: Technically, you're a catch. You've got money, status, naturally thick hair, a decent set. I feel like it was about how society generally tells women they're unattractive so you buy a product. I have an incredibly gorgeous friend who lives in Brooklyn and she is always telling me when I say she looks good that she is barely a 5 for NYC, a city full of models and actresses and women who look they're them.

Davros1 posted:There was that episode where Jenna left for Hollywood: Yea, from how she talks, either its that, or women are stereotypical old timey new yorker ladies like Georges mom. Then when she was visiting here, we were out and people kept thinking she was a model, so Toronto is the Cleveland of Canada.
