If nothing else, Family Guy has some pretty good one-off gags. The Scrooge McDuck "it's a solid mass!" joke is still funny.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Was mentioned a while back that takes on 'boss for a day' have a mixed history in cartoons and Rocko's Modern Life probably has the best ones, Gravity Falls came to mind with Boss Mabel. While putting a twelve year old girl in charge of a business has fairly predictable results, Stan's usual methods are pretty justified; he's greedy, stingy, deceptive and never gives refunds, but given he runs essentially an overpriced tourist trap with whatever gimmicky attractions and overpriced merchandise he can find, that's about the only way he's going to reliably turn a profit, and his customers are almost entirely gullible tourists with disposable income anyway. Basically, the way the tourism business makes money. The bored teenager is absolutely going to slack off at every opportunity and Soos' enthusiasm is best restrained given he likes to put a lot of work and not much thought unto his ideas, and while it's not something explicitly mentioned since Stan steadfastly denied Gravity Falls has any supernatural phenomena, but Dipper's attempt to showcase a real supernatural creature backfires horribly because kind of a theme in the show is even the silliest supernatural creature is dangerous, and the tourists are perfectly happy with the fakes. Rocko hasn't aged well in the sense that it's 90's as gently caress and it shows. On the other hand, as an adult now I totally relate to Rocko having to deal with poo poo like rear end in a top hat neighbors or doing stupid tasks for your boss because he's too lazy to do them himself.

It's like Bill Ponderosa from Always Sunny. He's that one dude who's somehow so much worse than the main cast and it's a spectacle to watch him destroy his own life over the series.

The Sunny episode that probably aged the worst is the one where Dennis gets a cell phone and won't stop ooh-ing and ahh-ing at it. Actually any episode of anything featuring a new technology is going to age badly.

hyperhazard posted:I was legitimately surprised when they quit their truth-is-in-the-middle bit for the NAMBLA episode. That's the only time I can remember that they dropped that whole shtick. Comparing trans people to dolphins was ok, playing rape in Hollywood for laughs was ok, having gay and black mouthpieces agree that discrimination is healthy and good was ok, but raping children was a step too far even for them. I mean what, did you expect them to say something like "we should only rape half the children"?

hyperhazard posted:I'm so glad the "men being assaulted = funny" trope is dying. Wedding Crashers had a straight up rape scene that was played for laughs. Even an early Bob's Burgers has Gail molesting Bob, and Linda just laughing about it and telling him to man up. I love Bob's Burgers, but uugghh. This is why I could never get into Love Hina because half of the jokes are just the same dude getting the poo poo kicked out of him for no reason.

Traditional networks in general are overplaying their most popular stuff as they struggle to stay alive in the age of streaming. As far as TTG goes, I remember seeing one episode that was basically just one big excuse to mock people who liked the original series. If you prefer TTG and didn't like the old one at all, then fair game, but it felt incredibly mean-spirited and not at all funny. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

quote:Nat Faxon as Jeremy De Longpre, Richard's husband. Jeremy is a former social worker who had a loving wife and family, although this changed after Richard became one of his clients. Richard was attracted to Jeremy to the point where he started stalking him and his family until Jeremy finally agreed to be his husband. It is said that Jeremy is actually heterosexual but left his wife and children for Richard, who offered him an easy, no-maintenance life as his trophy husband. He is a nice guy and a bit of a pushover, and receives little to no respect from Allen or Richard.
