InsensitiveSeaBass posted:3: What about Job? It's either going to be Louise, who rebels against the restaurant the hardest, but occasionally shows signs of really, deeply giving a poo poo about it and having an aptitude for it, or it's gonna' be all three of them. Louise runs the kitchen and food end, Tina behind the counter and doing the bookkeeping and business parts, and Gene or Gina! Stop queerbaiting us and just let Gene transition, you monsters! doing table service and entertaining guests, making jingles and filming internet ads for the joint. I love this charming little show so much.

There have been no bad holiday episodes that I can recall, but there have definitely been no bad Thanksgiving episodes, so I'm pretty excited that this one also sounds like it can't miss.

When you live poor for long enough, every once-in-a-while, you get fed up enough to get a case of the fuckits.

It's just weird that none of them do it. I get that part of the appeal of making a cartoon family show is that you don't have to deal with the kids aging, but like, why hasn't even one show let the kids grow up? Every year, new story possibilities for your writers.

 I never played one second of those games, but since a bunch of Youtube channels I follow were reviewing it, I figured I'd give the pilot a shot and I was blown the gently caress away. That episode alone is probably the best live action anything based off of a videogame that's been made to date. But your version would've been better.

WOOOOOOOOO! I know I'm in the minority with this, but I find it every bit as delightful today as it was in its first few seasons. Moreso, at times. I've really never seen anything like it. The Simpsons made it nine years before the wheels fell off and Family Guy was already kind of poo poo by its first revival season, often forgetting that the used to use shock humor as a way of making a good point in favor of just being shocking for shocking's sake, but failing even at that, because punching down isn't shocking. It's default. That we're thirteen seasons and a movie into this thing and it still makes me laugh out loud even when I'm by myself is a feat, but that its heart has only grown bigger in that time is one of herculean proportions.

I don't feel like you can put that on writers. Writing a movie doesn't take very long. It's everything else that does.

Aww! Good for them. This show about entirely unsuccessful burger joint owners nonetheless makes me dream of having their life. I could be fantasizing about winning the lotto, but no. My brain has decided it wants to have a rad family and run a tiny, failing burger joint in a tourist town.

I think that a lot of society woke up to the fact that a father screaming at or in front of their children isn't as funny as it may have seemed to some in the past, and frankly, I appreciate it.

Haschel Cedricson posted:I actually really like the way they handled this in the episode where the restaurant catches on fire. Bob wants to yell and is mostly successful at stopping himself, but he's not perfect and he's rightfully in an emotional state. And I love Teddy, but I have a soft spot for awkward weirdos.

Could you help me with a different example? I carved out a whole exception about it being fine to reach for that joke for a laugh when it's a safety thing or whatever and (which isn't the only instance, mind. Just an obvious one that I'm personally fine with), and I fear I'm losing the point you're making to your example being something I allowed for in the premise and I genuinely want to know what you actually mean. Incidentally, moving on, sort of, my mom was the one who sucked and my pop picked up all her slack, so I grew up really loving hating how seemingly every father on TV was awful from Homer Simpson until, like, Keith Mars was the combo breaker, but this isn't even really a matter of my personal preferences in comedy so much as I think a lot of people have come around to the fact that men coded as basically harmless screaming at their wife and children in cartoons isn't actually as funny as we as a society used to think it was, and that's why the change happened. I do like and appreciate that change, though.

I wasn't a fan either. The catharsis in her realizing why she was being so weird about this thing didn't feel earned or poignant enough to justify one of our heroes holding a woman hostage.

I'll keep harping on about this until the day they right this wrong, but at this point the "Gene is a girl" jokes have gone from a few times a season to basically every episode and god dammit, let the kid transition or stop joking about it. And yeah, he's a great character, but the Gene-centric episodes aren't for me.

Genderfluid would be fine. And I have some news about what became of a lot of us theater kids. :-P But the fact that y'all don't read it the way I do doesn't invalidate my reading, nor my desire for them to poo poo or get off the pot about him being trans of some kind or another.

We're not talking about his sexuality. We're talking about his gender. Kids have genders. But even in the case of sexuality, a broad swath of queer folk figured that poo poo out long before 11. Louise is the youngest and we know she's straight and nobody bats an eye at that. It's not sexualizing a child to portray them as being queer. We're just normal-rear end people, same as you. And it's nice to see ourselves in media when we're growing up, and it rarely ever happens.
