Many children of divorced parents who continued to fight were raised in front of garbage TV.
No, not Beavis and Butthead. I'm talking subtle things, like the family dynamics in Miss Doubtfire being normalized, females like the one in Liar Liar.
This subconsciously tells you that "Moms are bitches." Then your mom comes home pissed off from working as a single mom, and what stereotype does she unconsciously fall into?
This is how the Mockingbird media programs - When you aren't looking.
The sexuality in all those shows blows my mind. I was young watching Friends and Seinfeld and watching reruns today I can't believe how much went over my head!
But seinfeld was sooo hilarious, as is curb your enthusiasm with Seinfeld’s creator and main character, Larry David. Yes, he’s a horrible leftist human being but his humor and writing skills are top notch. My wife and friends say I’m just like him in many ways and maybe that’s why I like his show so much, since I can totally relate to the way he sees social situations and doesn’t just let things slide.
Agreed
Total East Coast/NYsarcasm. It’s an art form. If you aren’t like, you don’t get your balls busted.
But if you have ever watched 5 or 6 Curb Your Enthusiasms in a row…it’s really easy to see why Larry David is divorced. He’s a real asshole. But constantly…all day long. Every day.
But I do like seeing the humor in everyday life. Maybe “absurdity” is more apropos. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I also love Fletch and Young Frankenstein and The Jerk.
