That banana stand show was hella underwhelming. The memes were everwhere and are still popular now, it felt like everybody bsck then was raving about how sidesplittingly hilarious and clever this show was.
If it aired today I suspect most people would also find it underwhelming. The thing with Arrested Development is that it was truly unique and ahead of its time, enough that it couldn’t make it through three seasons on network tv. There was just nothing else like it, and audiences didn’t quite know what to do with it. People who loved it made a big deal about it because it could be (and turned out to be) the direction comedy was heading if only people would give it a chance.
Hard diagree 🤔 but I respect ur right to say it
You know nothing John Snow ;)
It’s a an off brand of humor that is specific t for that time. Also, there’s a bit of Seinfeld effect going on.
I couldn't get into Game Of Thrones either tbh, it was so rapey.
Seinfeld is ok for an episode here and there. Why is everyone yelling all the time in so many American shows though? Is it comfortable for you guys to listen to that for multiple episodes at a time?
The "Seinfeld effect" is what you call it when people think something is unfunny because its style of humour has been done to death, even though that particular show invented that style of humour and was extremely innovative at the time of its creation.
I don't know how to express myself unless through anger and personal attack!
Can you explain this comment please? I don't understand why/how you got anger and personal attacks from what I wrote.
That's a line from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
My gut says it either has to do with the way shows were filmed, or it's a leftover from theatrical plays.
You need to work on your conversation skills.
What do you mean?
Imagine a coworker said what I said, and you walk up to them and say your reply to his face word for word.
What would that coworker think of that interaction?
I have autism and thought I did pretty well in this interaction before I got the crit back. I have no idea what a coworker would think.
Arrested Development? I tried to watch it recently and it came out as super cringey.
Narrator: It was.
