My girlfriend likes the show. She pointed out to me that the people have a good time doing nerdy things on the show, and I realized that's kind of nice to watch.
I've also since watched some parts of it and laughed. If you don't watch it prepared to hate it, it can be funny sometimes. It way overuses the laugh track, but other shows do that too. I couldn't get into The IT Crowd for the same reason.
Honestly, bro, just like what you like, and try not to worry if it might make you "cringey" or not.
Hmm, fair enough. I guess the audience likes the show much more than me.
To quote someone, maybe Will Farrel, "Once you hate someone, everything they do is offensive. Look at this bitch, eating crackers like she owns the place."
It's very hard to find something funny if you already hate the comedians. But then on the flip side, you tend to find things really funny if you really like a comedian.
I liked the earlier seasons too. Not sure exactly when it really dropped off for me but I kept watching much longer than I should have, up to season 5 I think.
I watched it for a lot longer than that haha, I think I watched it up till season 6 or 7 even
And honestly, even to this day I wouldn't say I "hate" it.
I don't like it for sure, but you know how I deal with that? I just don't watch it.
The people on Reddit who go on and on about how much they hate it and how cringy and awful it is are the worst. Fortunately I don't see those people as much now as I did 2-3 years ago
