Growing up is realising Pete was right about Shaun and Ed
>>223484231>shaun is a shift-manager of an electronics store, lives with his mates, has a girlfriend, a decent social-circle, and is a known and contributing member of his community>in the year 2004, this is considered a complete loser with zero future
>>223484359it really was a different time
>>223484359He was even white
>>223484359It was the pre-Trump era. Back then you could refuel your car and buy a dozen eggs and not go bankrupt.
>>223484443You bankrupt nigger? I paid off my mortgage this year and am doing better than ever. The problem may be you.

>>223484359>>2234844032004 you could still get an office job with ANY college degree so if you couldn't get your shit together and get on the bus you were a contemptible retard.
>>223484231>mentions Tekken 2>released in 1995
>>223484231Is that Pedo Sukoffkidzowitz?
>>223484359it really was a different time. i know that gets memed a lot when people talk about the size of the Bundy's or the Simpson's house or George Constanza's dating habits but this was a fairly realistic depiction of abject failure.
>>223484359housing is the main thing that's drastically changed since then and this would cuck shaun out of most of this. he would live with his parents, which would probably mean no gf and fewer irl friends. shaun is supposed to be 29 but really simon pegg was 34 and a 34 year old working that job and living at home puts into relief how he's pathetic.
>>223484359Dead end job.Renting with friends instead of owning his own place.Still getting drunk and pissing his house mates off.He was a deadshit and was literally going nowhere.
>>223484359Like, if you think having a no skill retail job where you have to work weekends and renting a flat with 2 other people is some kind of achievement then christ your bar is low.
>>223484359These days it’s: same job or worse, living at home with your parents, no friends, no girlfriend, no Winchester to hang out at, no community, and sure as Hell no future. For most people a zombie Armageddon scenario might actually be a mild lifestyle upgrade.
>>223484732>a 34 year old working that job and living at home puts into relief how he's pathetic.nowadays I wouldn't judge anyone in that position because of how truly awful things have gotten
>>223484483>it only took me 50 years
>>223484231He was. You can even forgive him for being an arsehole because the problem with Shaun was his passivity, which would have been incredibly frustrating to deal with
