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.

    Never understood the “I don’t like anime” mindset, of course everyone has the right to like and/or dislike anything they choose to, but as you said it’s a medium. “I don’t like anime” makes as much sense as “I don’t like live action movies.” It doesn’t.

    I guess “I don’t like the way anime look,” or, “I don’t like the Japanese approach to storytelling” makes more sense.

      It makes sense to me because they’re describing in a simple way the thing that they don’t like. If you ask why, they’d probably tell you the reason. “I don’t like the way anime looks” or “I don’t like the Japanese approach to storytelling” or whatever…
