write a paper about how gay anime is

yea that part's obv not serious but the rest sounded serious. I dunno why you'd say that if you weren't being serious, unless you just were being a dick....

no but really I gotta hunt for dumb shit to TAKE ISSUE WITH its not that easy. but believe it or not the show can be pretty samey and you actually do have a Boner for liz lemons.

help! my characters in a comedy are not rich varied and textured! oh wait its every comedy.

i think 30 rock has a lot of clever and funny moments but it's got at least as many hackneyed jokes and tired plotlines.

i mean come on...they aren't that smart if they write a character like frank. he's not the only bad thing on the show at all but every time he says something it's like "...man, that's lame."

30 rock is medicore but every now and then there's a little spark to it.


i just watched the latest episode - it was a stinker.

Does this compare favourably to 3rd rock from the sun? I LOVE that show

I keep getting these two confused all the time, it's really frustrating.

no one said this dawg! well actually I think headphonics did. but I was talking about their jokes/funnies, they're pretty repetitious

30 rock is so boring.
All sitcoms are awful, 30 rock is just one more in the bag.
I give Curb Your Enthusiasm the benefit of doubt because i havent seen it.

But yeah, nowadays comedy is sick bad. Miss the old days of

i think curb your enthusiasm is pretty shit, too. it's like

Larry: *makes an off colour comment*
Cheryl: *rolls eyes*

cue everyone in the universe except his buddy jeff to act psychotic while larry makes things worse by trying to make them better.

i mean if the dialogue was funny then cool but usually it isn't. curb your enthusiasm just annoys me more than anything.

it's always sunny in philadelphia:

the gang: *does something incredibly insensitive and stupid*
everybody else: you guys are going to hell

I'm not really trying to make a point here I just wanted to join in on the fun

also curb is pretty formulaic in some ways when it comes to its plotlines but you can essentially make even a good show sound like shit that way.

well yeah okay i see your point but i can't think of a single episode of curb your enthusiasm that hasn't totally revolved around larry doing something unthinkably dumb and everyone hating him for it, but being really unreasonable about the whole issue just so the plot works. it's just tired, how many times am i supposed to go "oh that larry!!!" and that's the joke?

who else is even close to being as dumb a character as frank?  also these people get like no airtime

well the more developed the characters are the more attributes they've got you won't find that the main characters are so stupidity written, at least not consistently. tracy CAN be really funny, but he usually isn't and didn't get funny for a while. liz and jack are probably funny most of the time but even they have their crappy aspects (liz got baby fever HA HA jack making references to rich celebrities he knows HA HA). ryan was right about that "i'm on meds and bugging out!!!" stuff in that one episode - there's a lot of tracy stuff like that that just isn't funny. and the whole show is just prone to cheap shots, telegraphed or really old jokes and i'm saying it's about on the level of an episode of scrubs but with some actual wit thrown in there.

i'm not saying i hate 30 rock or anything, i still watch it, but it's not really amazing and i wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless we were bored and had nothing to do.

but i really, really hate frank. like i would punch that guy.

what?  that's not curb at all!  i mean that's some of it but other times larry doesn't do ANYTHING AT ALL and people explode at him for it.  the point is that he's kind of an asshole but manages to still be a sympathetic character at the same time.

i was being sarcastic with 'unthinkable' cos usually what larry does is a small thing and it snowballs cos everyone in the world is predisposed to hate larry's guts at the first sign of faux pas. but it's just like, watching curb your enthusiasm is a constant suspension of disbelief that isn't really worth it cos the jokes aren't clever.

as for the baby fever, it is not the best but a) working women in their thirties really do this dude!!!

i'm sure a bunch of them do!!! i saw them make HILARIOUS jokes about it on friends.

if tina fey can do better then why doesn't she.

and b) it is not even that prominent.  jack makes references to rich people he knows but the joke is never LOL I KNOW THIS GUY so much as the absurd lifestyles of the economically elite.

yeah the knock on that was bullshit i think - i had just watched new ep of 30 rock where jack is being especially Mr. Elite Hilarious and the show even seems to be on his side which i didn't like. plus there were a few clunkers like "i nurse an old vegetative man..." "that reminds me i'll have to give lou dobbs a call" which is just crappy writing. jack's usual schtick is actually pretty good i take it back.

also, i don't remember the WHOAA DRUGS episode aside from TAKE ME TO SPACEMAN which was pretty good.  also spaceman is funny in his own right.

i didn't mean to emphasize him being drugged out over other lame tracy craziness. he's always doing dumb kenan and kel shit like "grab me a tuna fish, a tube of industrial strength glue and meet me at the sock factory!!!" ha ha ha h those things are unrelated. i don't mean to get down on kenan and kel...those boys have a place in my childhood memories, but it's just crappy slapstick stuff without the funny part where somebody falls down.

i love 30 and curb because it takes the "good" people and ruins their lives because of their crippling social flaws.

liz wants a baby so she fusses with a midgets hair how is that not the funniest shit.
