For me if I had to pick a good contender it would be the UK version of The Office.

I know many tend to debate how Ricky Gervais really fell off and how he repugnantly acts like a whiny centrist edgelord but me personally IMO I actually don’t think he was ever funny not even a little.

His big break through television was just so painful to sit through it’s so charismatically boring the characters are completely generic at best (notably Tim) or straight up insufferably unlikable at worst (especially the protagonist David FUCKING Brent) and most importantly the humour is just embarrassing.

Always seemed like The Thick Of It but without the nuisance tongue in cheek and charming satire.

    Macgruber. I’ve tried two different times to watch it once while sober and once while high, and it just, I fucking hate it. I don’t know what it is. Everything about it is terrible. I cannot complete the movie.

    That and the Broadway edition of Cats. 15 or 20 seconds in and for some reason watching the actors dance around in cat costumes trigger some sort of primordial anger, rage, terror, something in me.

    I was screaming at my family to stop it, I had to physically leave the room.

          Oh yes, it stirred something deep inside. This show could be used as an ipecac substitute. I may be particularly sensitive as I was on crew for this production many moons ago.

          Just stab yourself in the ear with a rusty knife, you’ll get the gist of it.

            An additional beneficial side effect of watching the first, I don’t know, two minutes of cats if you can make it that far is it will confirm for you forever whether or not you are a furry.

            I am solidly in the not a fucking furry crowd.
