To be fair I am pretty offended that this show is trying and failing to make me laugh, but I say that about a lot of sitcoms.

Actually I think the only sitcoms I find funny are Red Dwarf and It's Always Sunny... Which in terms of suggestive or non-politically correct content are quite up there. And I'm not even talking about the shit that didn't age well like Lister having a freak-out over the idea that his parallel universe self is gay or proclaiming some dude with acne has "More blackheads than a fried chicken establishment." (To be fair these both happen in one of the more poorly received seasons)

Hey remember? When Craig Charles was the announcer for the UK version of Takeshi's Castle and referred to the contestants as "Kamikaze cousins" and "Happy clappy Jappy chappies".... Haha...that did NOT age well... oh ho ho... to be fair, England had a lot of anti-asian sentiment going on in the 80's for some reason... Still, that's a lot that didn't age well.

But for real, love Red Dwarf, one of those shows I rewatch in full twice a year. I wish I could make myself forget the whole series so I can watch it again, it's THAT good.
