hallo spacedog posted:The 90s were the pinnacle of amazing sketch comedy shows but it feels like virtually every single one has a few really lovely sketches like that buried in them somewhere on virtue of being the 90s. The absolute definition of media not aging well. I was rewatching the pre-9/11 episodes of The Sopranos and they hold up surprisingly well because good writing tends to remain good writing, but drat even by the "not much has really changed, deep down" standards of 2021 Hellworld, the open misogyny and racism of the characters can be hard to stomach. In some ways it honestly makes me assess the cowardice of other shows that gloss over those aspects of the criminal/sociopath characters, while the Sopranos wears those unlikable qualities out and proud as a neon signal spelling out "these people are the loving worst." I do think it helped people from idealizing Tony Soprano quite a bit relative to his many derivatives like Walter White or loving Thanos. mind the walrus has a new favorite as of 20:52 on May 8, 2021 |

I’m not sure the show couldn’t resist making Tony cool between his bouts of self destruction. Got any girl he wanted just off shear charisma, Made the tough decisions and was powerful, hell even was more accepting than his subordinates. If you want there is plenty there

The reason I compared Tony Soprano to Tony Montana is you could not escape Sopranos/Scarface stuff among certain males 15-22 during the early to mid-00s, and both characters were very much viewed as something to aspire towards. If nothing else, both Tony's had a hell of a lot more merchandise sold bearing their likeness than Walter White.

TBH both also at face value seem like much more competent on their job of running a criminal syndicate, than Walter White ever did. Montana obviously being the worse of the Tony's, but still miles ahead of Walter White who asspulls and stumbles into much of his fortunes.

Walter White didn't look cool until he put on a hat and got a catchphrase. I mean, he started off looking like this:  And by season 4, he's more like:

Push El Burrito posted:The only 90s sketch that held up was the guy that wanted to dip his balls in things. The State was awesome, but it didn't age well for an unusual reason. Back then MTV could use any of the music they played as the soundtrack to their shows. Synergy and branding and all that poo poo. However the licensing deals with the record companies did not extend to home video release, so the DVD release that eventually came out has lovely placeholder tracks. IIRC Daria suffered the same fate. Oh, and their were some bits from the State that were directly mocking poo poo that was concurrently running on MTV. Things like parodies of PSAs that would play during commercial breaks. Those aged poorly because the context isn't there. deoju has a new favorite as of 09:34 on May 10, 2021 |

They’ve barely even tried to do rereleases of The State and Beavis and Butthead, and I think the last Daria release attempt was on DVD.

Phylodox posted:Thing is, if you’re not eating out all the time, counting calories can be a bitch. Weighing out every ingredient, figuring out the caloric value of each portion of a homemade meal, etc. is tedious as gently caress. The good thing is if you're making your own food, you're probably not going to put in nearly as much salt or sugar as the big brands do. You're using it at the "flavor" level whereas they're using it at the "preservative" level. Edit: Just realized that applies more to "store bought" than to "eating out" but you get my drift.

I’m lucky that I’m a big enough fan to have bought that set, but the music doesn’t make much difference to me. I watched it as a young kid, maybe 10. Up here in Canada it aired on our equivalent to Cartoon Network and I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t have the music rights in the first place.

Yeah considering the last time I watched the series it was via the jankiest bootleg set of files, some which were Real Player videos for chrissakes, I took what I could get.

I watched it on Noggin in junior high and I don't remember whether or not it had the music but the Days of Summer marathons were one of the best parts of that summer

There's been fan attempts at restoring Daria's original music, but they're pretty janky and incomplete. I watched it on an Australian network and iirc it had the original music, but quite possibly the RIAA didn't care about that.

Northern Exposure on DVD is another one super messed up by music rights issues. I think that may also be why it's never streamed anywhere. Still a really great show but it's really frustrating knowing you're missing a solid chunk of its original identity.
