MrAristocrates posted:The joke is that instead of some feat of strength or whatever Jeff proves he's worthy by doing an incredibly lovely standup routine. I think you guys are overthinking it. There's also a bit of meta-commentary in there in that in order to become popular with the audiance, Jeff tells incredibly formulaic jokes that play on (and reinforce) the audiance's prejudices, and his performance is every bit as generic and formulaic as the jokes.

Jummy posted:Now this is the sort of thing I just don't understand. I mean, I get it that you apparently didn't like it, and that's fine, it's all opinion and people like different things. But not wanting it to come back just because you aren't enjoying it is just such a child's attitude. Well I don't like thing, so no one should get thing! I didn't particularly care for the new Arrested Development, but I know plenty of people did so what does it really matter? If Community finds a new way to air episodes, maybe they'll be good, maybe they'll be poo poo, either way it's pretty certain that at least one person will enjoy them and that doesn't hurt you in any way. This is the kind of attitude that leads to TV shows shambling on way past the point where they stopped being remotely interesting or relevant. It's good talent being wasted on bad shows, it's new interesting ideas not being given a chance because there's still a drop of blood left in a desiccated husk, it's people watching same god awful poo poo year after year not being confronted with anything new or interesting, because change is scary. Learn to let go, apparently even children know how so maybe it's time you figured it out as well.

Jummy posted:Turn on your tv and how many options are you presented with? Hundreds if not thousands. Streaming services are putting out more and more content every day. Keeping a show going isn't hurting any of that. If you don't like it, all you have to do is not watch. If a show not being the best show ever hurts your delicate sensibilities, I genuinely feel sorry for you. Hundreds if not thousands of shows that are complete and utter poo poo, with a few rare gems here and there. A show being poo poo doesn't hurt me, but it doesn't interest me either and I don't see the value in practices that lead to such a sorry state of affairs. You seem a little confused: I'm not upset, but I am somewhat amused by you throwing a tantrum about how people are reacting to the news of a TV show well past its prime getting canceled. People do things for lots of reasons, that doesn't make the reasons valid or the things good. There's all sorts of compulsive hoarders, addicts, etc. who engage in pathological and unhealthy behaviour, but I don't feel the need to endorse that behaviour just because technically yeah everyone's got a right to live however the gently caress they want as long as they're not hurting others. Now, liking poo poo TV isn't exactly pathological, but the same principle applies. So sorry that the show you liked got canceled, but buddy there ain't poo poo you can do about it except accept it, move on and rationalize for yourself how it was actually for the best that things turned out this way.
