Every so often I see it brought up as being so edgy and funny, but it's really not. There are a few moments that are funny, but they're packed between racism, ableism, and really any kind of -ism you can imagine. It gets defended as "just a shitpost" from the same crowd that talks about the glory days of people not being so easily offended. I rewatched a compilation before posting this just to be sure of my critique and it's exactly as I remembered lol. Nothing but attack helicopter tier jokes. Some people say if you didn't watch it in the 2000s you won't get it, but I've seen shows from the 2000s that are actually good and funny shrug-outta-hecks

Anyway, I'm convinced most people who talk about how funny it is haven't seen anything beyond clips. It's just lazy and boring

If you've seen Scary Movie, it's the same sort of humor from that era. It isn't just shows from the 2000s, it's being a Millennial child in the 2000s that made it palatable.

Rewatching it now is really ugly. Kind of like that Marge Simpson story where her story is really gross, bizarre, and bigoted - a reference to the caricature of Apu - where you'd just find it severely distasteful.
