Why do so many people fail to understand this show?
>>
There’s nothing more to “get” than what is presented at face value. The thing is, you would only find it funny if you were a white millennial. Since you’re posing the question, I’m guessing you are one.

Retards get filtered by the artstyle and are so coddled and sensitive that they can't handle the fact that the character design doesn't match the personality. They see characters designed as obvious chads, and expect them to be asshole roid rage dudebro douchebags.

The art style is the only good part of the show. It's what made me give it a shot, but after watching 2 episodes devoid of even attempting a joke I decided to give up trying to like it.

Low IQ take, it's self depricating in a good way. It portrays White families as being naive and overly-wholesome, but still functional. And the mutt kid in the recent episode was fucking hilarious. I'm surprised x didn't freak out about it.

What's funny is that from what we saw in little tidbits throughout the season and particularly the sauna episode the boys kinda are douchebags, but they're still also very nuanced characters which clashes with their classic strawman idea of the asshole white chad

Especially the look on the girls’ faces in this scene lol. People knock the shitty drawing but they don’t understand that it is a genuine style that lends to the bizarre humor of the show. The people who hate on it would prob hate on Picasso in his time because his art looks like a child drew it—they just don’t get it.

I don't know how much validation does my opinion have on this show as an argentinian 30 year old guy (kind of like a Muslim watching Jersey's shore), but I like it. It's -very oddly- nice to watch, I mean oddly considering how atrociously ugly the art style and animation is, but I feel like that alone is one of the main things I feel comfortable about watching it, it's so ridiculously bad it's pretty hilarious. I would also say it somewhat looks like one of those [adult swim] shows you would watch on the, you know, good old real adult swim shows from the late 90's / early 00's.
Common Side Effects on the other side has such an innovatively ugly art style it's almost irritating, annoying and uncomfortable to look at, especially males' faces' features, they're particularly ugly, like the small tiny mouth and eyes. You generally get used to it eventually if you watch the series consistently since the premise/plot is quite interesting. But still.
Smiling Friends has only like literally three good episodes: the Desmond episode (episode 1), the first episode about Mr. Frog, and the one about Allan trying to get paper clips. Where the one about Desmond and the one about Allan, I consider them a 10/10 each. But all the rest ranges from bad to just meh (or good at best). Such a waste of potential. But it's just yet another case in that matter.
Look on YouTube at videos of episodes or clips of Smiling Friends, in the comments sections. They're almost all zoomers or literal kids.

It's non-Whites having no experience with upper class Whites so they can't get the overexaggerated version being presented as a joke. People who I've seen say they don't get it consistently admit they're from non-West countries. They don't know the first world so they don't get it.

We’re at the stage where this show is something “highbrow” that people need to “understand”. You people are fucking losers. You try to make media consumption a type of “skill” because you have no actual impressive traits as a person. Watching cartoons isn’t a form of “prowess”.

the people who will get this show and understand it are the same people who understand what's funny about On Cinema. it's hard to specifically describe what it is. it's a humor in mundane things that are treated as normal.

>>
>>216481995
On Cinema's humor is pretty self explanatory, though. It started off as "Siskel and Ebert, but except respectable film critics it's a pair of autistic manchildren."

And then it just sort of spiraled into a bunch of absurd plot arcs from there, mostly based on Tim getting caught up in various wacky schemes he tries to shoehorn into the show while Greg is a completely static autistic fuck who just wants to sperg about shitty movies no one care about.
