MariusLecter posted:Is there more fat jokes or more jokes where the punchline is "he's Jewish" ? I remember way more fat jokes than that. Then again I also didn't watch every episode so it's possible I missed most of the Jew jokes. Even so the opening animation has a fat joke in it that I wouldn't expect to go over well today. Overall the show constantly harped on how fat Jay was. The one that really sticks out in my mind is when he got airlifted out of the desert the helicopter could barely lift him and the pilot is like "this thing is supposed to be able to lift a tank!" Then they went full slapstick and smacked him into several buildings.

The jokes about Mena Suvari’s giant forehead are a bit obscure, but the whole thing is still fantastic overall. Marilyn Manson doing the food pyramid song will always be great, and the corporate sellout fail plot is stellar. I’m still amused that the 3 corporate hacks are played by the leads from Scrubs. “STICK IT IN YOUR FACE HOLE AND SLAM IT!” “MY KID WONT LOOK ME IN THE EYES ANYMORE!”

Zebulon posted:Show got weird as poo poo and the second season did in fact have some weird-rear end cat necromancer dude. And a time travel episode where they have to somehow whip up jet engine fuel in the past using only the stuff they can put together back then to get the jet running again and get back through the time portal. Plus it basically treated the jet's missile bays the same way Green Arrow treats his quiver or Batman treats his utility belt. God drat you are so wrong it hurts. Pastmaster was a season 1 villain, in fact he was the first villain in the first episode Season 2 the animation got a bit "darker" and started rounding out the cast, I'm assuming for toy marketing purposes. They added a female SWAT officer that kept showing up to the battles and went with such classic edgy 90s cartoon plots as "Aliens try to conquer the world"

The fat jokes also lead to Jay's stomach talking, which was already great in a "homer's brain" kind of way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8pHJ9OcIE0 Clone High also had an excellent soundtrack for its time, something I never realized until this past year. For a person who never heard of American Football until 2016, they have a couple songs on there. From the film fest episode, when Abe says that Joan is " even closer than a sister. So close that we could sleep in the same bed and never touch or kiss." - they're playing Stay Home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdsSsZ8pueU The one thing I don't think I ever seen on Youtube about the show is that the DVD releases have a longer intro than the one I remember from MTV (maybe that was the Canadian one?) And in the Ponce de Leon episode, the intro was different, with a slower, female-sung version of the song. The last time I remember seeing it was in 2003 from Kazaa

I loving love Clone High, and every now and then I just want to lean over to my wife and say "Part of me is inside you". Critic was likewise tops. It shouldn't have worked but it just had something to it.

Did Mission Hill age ok? Everything about it seemed very mid-90s, which is weird because I think it started in 2000.

I watched Maron recently and in the first episode he walked in on someone's D&D session and of course they were all pasty lispy unfuckable virgins. It was such a weird 80's stereotype for a show made in the 2010's

The only really dated reference I can think of is the Real World episode, since I don't think that show is still on, at least not in the original format (I think it's called like The Challenge now?) Oakley and Weinstein basically predicted what would happen in Williamsburg (the Brooklyn one) or Portland, in regards to gentrifying, hipsters, etc... but several years before it was mainstream to take digs at places like that. Like the interracial hipster couple of the Hispanic painter and Jewish...Lawyer(?) woman, who are together but not married, and have a kid that they didn't name because they feel a child has to choose their own name. And in the episode where Andy tries to get a job, he had a great little rant about how his generation (X) was all talk when it came to being apathetic, "raging against the machine," etc... bandthey all abandoned him and got corporate jobs while his back was turned. And it had what might be one of the best gay couple depictions. A loving, older couple who have been together for nearly 50 years.

I listen to a podcast that recently interviewed Josh Weinstein about specifically his non-Simpsons projects. This is one of the things he brought up about Mission Hill, because it's one of the things he received the most positive reactions to; for most of its audience it was the first positive depiction of gay men they'd ever seen, and to this day it's still, yeah, one of the best.

If someone handed me the keys to Adult Swim and I had carte blanche to try and bring back shows like they did with Family Guy (indirectly) it'd be Clone High and Mission Hill. I think both shows were treated poorly by their networks and deserve a shot. Also thanks for pointing this out, it's on a playlist now for a road trip I have coming up..

They hinted at a Mission Hill revival a few months ago. Hopefully it happens. I loved the show, remembering it airing on WB and knowing it was doomed since they never had a consistent schedule for it. I was bummed when I later found out that the characters were supposed to age in real time. That would have been cool to see.

It's funny watching people get excited for reboots then immediately dumping them, because it happens every time for every reboot, and nobody ever notices the pattern. the only way they could guarantee that it would suck even more is if they made it a prequel series. the dark crystal reboot was a terrible idea. making it such a contemporary political analog was a terrible idea. the first 5 episodes are the most water-treading set-recycling poo poo i've seen since the original run of Naruto. I'm Cranky (TM). edit- so either mission hill's going to have to be deliberately set 10-15 years in the past, or the characters will be relegated to the suburbs and have to drive half an hour to see each other, or we're just going to have to pretend that eclectic eccentrics can still afford to live in the city (a fiscal impossibility.)

Beavis and Butthead's revival didn't skip a beat. I only caught a couple episodes. The drone one is the one I remembered the most. It's biggest problem was being on MTV. Should have gone to Adult Swim or some other similar channel if Adult Swim wasn't a Viacom channel.

A direct inversion of the thread is this: I just watched the Jim Carrey movie Fun With Dick and Jane for the first time and it really resonated with me simply because of the timing, what with me losing my job a few months ago and having to work crap shifts to make money while waiting for something better to arrive. It's a lot of fun, and unlike in other films like Bruce Almighty and Liar Liar, Carrey isn't playing a total rear end in a top hat. Even as things fall apart Dick and Jane stick by each other, never losing their tempers or ruining their marriage over their stresses, it really sells how stable they are as a couple, and it's exactly that stability that gets them through the situation that they are in.

DACK FAYDEN posted:I have seen like four jokes about the number of Raid Shadow Legends ads in the last week, and I have no idea what it even is. Is the concept of adblock going to make tv not age well? Raid shadow legends ad jokes are ubiquitous because the ads are everywhere and often disguised with fake xes to make you click through accidentally. I know this because I YouTube on my phone and constantly get ads and also streamers are constantly pushing it in-stream/video. So, no, adblock hasn't done poo poo to stem this bleeding for me, and yes poking fun at the situation is good.

Raid is inexplicably paying out silly amounts of money for random internet people to do ads for them. That's why there's buzz about it. And also why there are so many people doing Raid ads, because hellworld.
