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.

    I have friends who are into jam bands and I’m glad they go to live music shows. However, I’m the type of person that likes movies that are a tight 90 minutes long, and one of my favorite songs of all time is less than 2 minutes long. My time is worth money, treat it like it is. I don’t need to listen to a 15 minute guitar solo.

        Are you currently on drugs? No disrespect if you are, but it took me awhile to unpack that sentence.

          Sadly, no, stone cold sober.

              I’d imagine a devilishly complicated citation of a book by a married couple two-generations into hyphenated last names about their ancestors published by their parents’ eponymous publishing house.
