Early 2000s entertainment too. A good portion of the edgy jokes could be considered funny because they were made on the assumption that "We can laugh about this, because we all know racism and sexism is bad, right?".
And then 2015ish happened and it became obvious that a lot of people weren't laughing AT the -isms but rather WITH.
EDIT: Which slur did Ross use, BTW? I haven't watched that show in eons, and I don't remember any.
Round of applause to Deep Space 9 for holding up after all these years, half that station was bi at the very least.
The alternate universe on that show was the horniest thing in TV for decades.
I see you never watched Farscape and its BDSM space muppets.
There is absolutely no inaccuracy in that description of that frelling show.
Horniest? I mean, DS9 did run concurrently with Lexx...
Never heard of this before. Google tells me it was only available in the US on Showtime and later the SciFi channel, neither of which I had access to.
it’s on YouTube for free

Season 2 is peak Lexx
It’s one of my favorite tv shows.
Fyi all these videos in this playlist are deleted as of 22 of Feb at 2p est…
It was even licensed and translated for broadcast in other countries, but I concur that Lexx is a bit obscure one
Lexx was a British-German-Canadian production.

It doesn't matter who you are, Evil Kira wants you lol
Season 1 Bashir probably needed an HR meeting abput his continued sexual advances on Jadzia.
Don't worry, Garak was working on fixing him.
Thats why we have Garak
Oh, the Occupation apologist? He was still justifying the concentration camps into season 5.
haven't seen friends but as someone familiar with the zeitgeist it's almost certainly "retarded"
which was also all over adult swim at the time and is recently having its renaissance
Ah, the infamous hard R
I havent watched LTT content in a while but I was watching that stream and Lukes face when Linus says that will live forever rent free in my head.
I've noticed that lately. It went from being everywhere to nowhere and now it's creeping back up. I'll be honest here, I miss the word but if it's hurting that many people who haven't done anything then you're a fucking piece of shit if you use it.
I was rooting for the "gay" renaissance where people talked about how gay everything was but changed it to mean awesome instead of shitty.
That would be pretty gay
wait you too?
Absolutely. I'm still rooting for it but it seems to be kind of petering out here.
Yeah that this is just how millennials talked in high school and we're entering into that "old person stops caring" phase of life about now?
We're not that old yet ffs.
There are none of us in our 20s anymore.
Last time I checked old didn't cover 30s+ even 50+ is still middle aged.
Who've you checked with? Boomers or Zoomers?
Thats the same reason I hate Trailer Park Boys.
So much of it is laughing at the poors. I know people who are so sheltered and middleclass they think "LoL can you imagine if people lived like this"
Bruh, you ever known people born into generatiknal poverty?
You mean like the cast and writers of the show?
I think you have what I mean twisted. What life is like for people stuck in the poverty or trailer park cycle is not a universal experience and for all the people that do get it or do empathise and have an understanding that "this is a window into a world I'm not from presented in a humorous way" theres someone sitting there laughing thinking that the whole thing is a wild exaggeration, laughing at the idea that people are really like that or using it to confirm their own biases "the parts that confirm my biases are facts and the parts that dont are just entertainment"
Me hating the show isnt a commentary on its quality, the creators and cast should be very proud of it. I just cant stand to sit and watch it because some of it is too real to be funny as someone who also came up really fucking poor.
Mibber
I..I fear the purity bot. Please don't take my face.
