I liked posts 1 and 2 but was never very enthusiastic about it. It was thrilling but I would never compare this thread to classics such as keyboard goop or mermaid Shelly. Then again I am raising the bar too high. Let me be more realistic: This thread is not as as good as threads such as THE GREAT BIRD GAMBIT, for example. It is certainly more exciting than THE GREAT BIRD GAMBIT but it is not so well structured because it runs in circles, instead of moving forward. The original post, as good as it was, proved to be limited. Posters don't really have much to go on after two posts so they started to do variations of the same post. Variations that contradict and weaken the original post.

Indeed I think thatthis thread, after readings its third post, is a minor GBS thread.

The jokes were just bearable in the first two posts but it gets far worse in the third post. The memes are now constant and many times are abrupt, jerky. The quotes are especially irritating because you can't really look at the posters as the words don't make sense. Of course, it is done on purpose because no poster on Something Awful could be that bad.

It is done on purpose because of the short span of attention of whoever is the idiot behind the idea of FYAD memes invading GBS as if the forums are actually happening on 4chan.

Unfortunately, the memes themselves are also not solid. This thread has two 'new' and ridiculous memes: Two posters, carrying a joke around threads, who could very well be in The Gas Chamber or any of those lolcuck threads for tedious teenagers.

Then, there is the absolutely not credible SLICK GOKU BABY who, despite being a loose canon, is still alive and well. Too well, actually. Faced with the possibility of not shitposting for three months he decides that it would be better to open a divergent, dangerous and completely unnecessary thread of breaking bad to make a fraction of the jokes he could make in another, safer thread. It insults the intelligence of the public.

The posters of the thread already ran out of ideas and are creating very artificial situations just to keep the thread going on, no matter its growing lack of logic and credibility. I just couldn't believe when, in one post, Ether Drunk makes a fart joke. He, who was always so careful to keep his facade of a conservative and responsible poster, was exposing himself in a way that didn't match with him at all.

Even more senseless is to see Isaac, who became a shitposter in order to provide for FYAD, risking everything he achieved to save this thread. The core of this thread is that FYAD comes first, no matter what. Isaac would do anything, even become a shitposter as he did , to provide for FYAD. Then he risks loosing his own account and the millions of shitposts he was going to make for FYAD in order to save this thread! Let's not forget that Isaac killed people before and let an innocent young woman die in order to protect his posts.

The only logical explanation for the many times he saves this thread especially the two last ones, is that FYAD doesn't come first. SLICK BABY GOKU comes first...

The creator of the thread want hard Isaac in the thread because he is the one with whom young people, the main posters of GBS, could somehow identify with. Isaac can do all kind of stupid things and get away with them because, as long as there is a new thread coming, he is immortal.

This thread has now several call backs to explain things that happened during previous threads. One callback, for example, explains how fat the OP is. The first problem with that callkback is that it doesn't show the OP shoveling food down his mouth-hole. The OP of this thread, if you check their post history, is actually eating food right now...

It is most revealing about the weakness of this thread that a whole post is about anime. Yes, they wanted to show their state of mind but a whole post? Besides, that poster, whilst talking about anime, gets quoted for another anime reference.

There is no way they wouldn't have, at least, been probated but they were perfectly fine a few hours after the posts, the only memory of it being this post... And one of the most advertised qualities of this thread is its review of a show that isn't anime... I actually read that many people think this thread is the best thread ever. It is disheartening.

This thread ends with a big cliff hanger. I am pretty sure that it will be another cry wolf, like the so misleading cliff hanger from the last thread.

I can actually guess most of what is going to happen before it happens. This thread should have been the end of this shitposts but, having in mind the next thread, they over stretched the jokes. Many illogical things that happened in this thread happened just to justify a new one.

I dread to think in being subjected to another thread of mediocre shitposting, reason why I will not read the next thread. Besides, the next thread will have all kind of unconvincing posts just for the sake of yet another thread.

TL:DR - The show really puts the BAD in FBAD.

Don't agree with this bit at all. The show made it pretty clear that family coming first was a crock of poo poo Walt told himself because he loved his new life. Jesse was central to that life because Walt absolutely needed someone to push around to satisfy his ego. Even whastherface that he let die wasn't to protect his operation, it was so she couldn't take away his surrogate abused-son.

The fly episode was p terrible though

Pththya-lyi posted:

Exactly this. If all Walt cared about was protecting his family, why did he refuse Schwarz's offer to pay for all his medical expenses? What he really cares about is making money doing something he's good at. "Protecting the family" is just the excuse Walt uses to justify his immoral actions.

No, Mr. White's ego comes first. If his family came first he would have taken the sinecure offered to him by his former partner in Season 1.

His ego coming first is the reason he got stuck being a lovely high school teacher in the first place.

He's a piece of poo poo.

Sheep-Goats posted:

Walt has a normal ego and it took his impending death for him to do anything in his life that could possibly lead to his own satisfaction. His failures are mainly that he's a STEM autist who doesn't know how to deal with people or how to value success outside of black and white terms.

Breaking Bad is ultimately a flawed show but if you think it was bad you are dumb af

good idea ruined by amc. the show legitimately looked like something from the 90s sometimes

LegoPirateNinja posted:

Walt's ego is the reason he couldn't handle his jewy friend running away with his dream girl, causing him to quit the company that would have made him a millionaire.

It's literally Hiro's backstory from Snow Crash.

gently caress. Walt.

I actually read that and i agree to a point but aren't all tv shows unrealistic and aren't most of the plots designed to be ridiculous and keep the story going rather than resolving the issues at hand (because it would end the series)?

my mom keeps calling breaking brad so it sounds like she watches gay pornos and that is amusing to me

sweetmercifulcrap posted:

But, the point of the series is not supposed to be about wanting Walt to "win" though a lot of viewers feel this way.

Frankenstyle posted:

Walt did win, though. His family gets 90 million, and he gets to play crime kingpin until he goes down on his own terms right before cancer cancer would have claimed him.

The best thing Breaking Bad, which I thought was a solidly good show that I enjoyed watching, though not as much as The Wire, ever did was introduce Better Call Saul.

It's like Breaking Bad with the annoying parts cut out
