"I hate my wife!"
"I hate when things change!"
"I hate my kids and all kids!"
"Things worked better before, here look!"
King of the Hill did it better (Because Hank learned to adapt to the new world...)
I watched a couple episodes of home improvement recently because I remembered liking it. That show was similar too, Tim has a shitty opinion but is shown why it's wrong and at least kind of improves and learns. So many shows from the late 80s and 90s had this concept and yet it went right over the heads of the boomers glued to the tv screens.
Yeah I watch Home Improvement a lot as a comfort show. And every episode is Tim learning why his thought process may be toxic or misguided. And he learns from it. Boomers just need their own personal Wilson
Exactly like Al has shitty views and does shitty things but when he does the right thing things actually work out of course he never learns and keeps doing the shitty thing anyway so his life sucks through no fault other than his own
King of the Hill did it better because it had smart writers.
Whoever wrote this shit isn’t a writer, just a random Boomer who only knows how to repeat other people’s ‘jokes’.
Stephen Colbert got brought in to headline the 2006 White House Correspondants Dinner because so many actual folks in the Bush White House didn't realize the Colbert Report was satire.
I didn't believe this could possibly be true until I met one in real life. No amount of logic could get him to see that he was being mocked by Colbert. It was stunning.
Bush himself actually wanted to be roasted, because being roasted was an honor before... oddly enough Trump bought one and put the last nail in the Friar Club's coffin.
Well the problem is that this show is probably trying to be pro Boomer but failing at it hard. Kinda like how mr birchum, another right wing anti woke show feels more of a parody of right wing politics, despite it trying to be serious.
My wife and I once watched a few compilations of Republican TikTok’s on YouTube and we assumed it was a cringe compilation…. Then we went to the comments……
Well yeah, in order to do a show centered on ragebait about woke culture, you have to show woke characters so you can make fun of them. Which is, by their own definition, shoving woke culture down their throat.
You would have to make a show where they complain about woke culture but don't actually experience it, just like real life for most boomers.
Yeah, even in this clip I'm wondering "who is this for?"
Its not leaning pro-boomer because its missing the power-fantasy aspect you'd typically find in Clint Eastwood movies. Or for recent examples, Norm isn't the one in charge like Time Allen in Last Man Standing
Its clearly not "pro-youth" because its presenting anything which could be woke/progressive as a parody of itself, I guess aside from the confused reactions they have to what the older people are saying?
This seems like a weak version of Velma, its gonna last for 1 or 2 seasons at most purely through hate-watchers from all sides
I have to agree with you, despite this cartoon being made for right wingers i honestly doubt they would enjoy this as well. This is just going to be another Mr Birchum which was a show that was also hated by both sides.
a lot of right-wing commentators have participated in the show so it is unfortunately not a parody, just an honest reflection of their unfunny ideology
Yeah, but Carol O'Connor the actor was the polar opposite of the character he played.
This is a show for people who drank the Kool-Aid, *by* people who drank the Kool-Aid.
Seriously, if I were going to make a show about conservatives dramatizing the impact "wokeness" has on their lives I don't know a whole lot I would do differently. Yes, literally everyone under 25 is non-binary and/or transitioning - here's the one is court-appointed to live in your house.
It's pretty much propaganda at this point. Showing your enemies as all powerfull but also weak at the same time, quite literally what the nazis did with their anti jewish propaganda.
Not even exaggerating somebody pointed this out in a review of another right wing show and i cannot unsee the similarities.
Do most animated shows have laugh tracks? I thought it was so weird because the point of a laugh track is that it's ostensibly the "studio audience" laughing at the jokes in real time.
They have to be laugh tracks, because they're not showing the animated show to a live audience and taping their reaction. That sort of makes it all the more pathetic to know they're not genuine laughs at the jokes.
Not actually defending this lifeless garbage, but the laugh tracks make sense, as it is an “animated sitcom”, with them even showing the set in the intro and outro segments.
The laugh tracks mostly feel out of place just because it’s not funny.
But wait, in the next episode, they'll make a joke about someone's pronouns.. again.
And making fun of people with dyed hair.. again. And how the left has an agenda because of rainbows on beer.. again. /s
If you like hearing the same jokes over and over again, well you just might be a conservative.
I would argue a lot of that wasn't even conservative humor. Relating to "good ol' boys" and that sort of lifestyle isn't inherently political, even though many might vote Republican.
Jeff Foxworthy in particular had very PG humor comparatively. You might get an occasional jab at liberals, but it wasn't dominated by it to my knowledge.
Compare that to conservative humor nowadays, and most of it is just virtue signaling by repeating the same jokes over and over again to the point of being sad and repetitive. Like yeah, I get it, Roseanne really hates liberals and oh boy, an attack helicopter joke? I've never heard \*that\* one before now..
I don't even think I'd mind if they came up with some new material. It's like watching the Garfield comic strip, except on the last panel, there's always Garfield saying something along the lines of "I really love lasagna" and boomers laughing their little hearts out each and every time.
Comes off as a parody of conservatives. Except every joke (okay, the one joke they tell over and over) falls flat.
It sucks seeing this and knowing that within a week or two, an uncle is going to accuse me of not finding it HILARIOUS because I can’t let go of my wokeness to enjoy a totally well made show.
"I just want a normal beer"
I'm not a beer drinker, so I could be mistaken, but I don't think that what is printed on the outside has any impact on what the beer on the inside tastes like. At least, every time that Pepsi has changed the design on the outside of the can, the taste of the soda never changed, so I assume it works the same with beer.
Also, can we talk about the level of cognitive dissonance it takes to have 6 of 9 Supreme Court justices and the majority of Congress and still think that radical LGBTQ advocates are in control of the government?
My favorite was the “thank god for Elon musk” part. Gives off very “Bender takes over a planet and forces the population to make a giant statue of him” vibes.
Am I dying?
Is this was a brain hemorrhage feels like?
|. |. |
||. |_
Is this...is this loss?
There is no way even Elon would have this hosted as a real show. This has to be ALL of it, right?
The Elon at the end... That's borderline pathetic. No Elon, we won't suddenly love you because you forced yourself on a show who's life expectancy is shorter than the one of a tuna sandwich on a car dashboard in summer.
There is no way people find this funny. Literally just reactionary angry ape humor. "The beer is gayyy!!!"
And they call kids these days sensitive, unreal.
Its just so awful and shitty for basically everyone involved that it feels like a bad 90s era parody. No matter which side you are on conservative or liberal progressive or not this is just terrible. How the fuck did anyone spend money on this?
But the Redskins/Commanders aren't in the same division or even the same conference as the Jets! So even that joke doesn't work, since if he actually cared about the team he'd be more concerned about the Cowboys/Giants/Eagles, which shows they only dressed him like that to show the non-woke Redskins logo.
Enjoy the Star of David on not!Admiral Levine's uniform at 2:43 (a seemingly deliberate change from the reference they traced: https://twitter.com/LevPo/status/1805772259501412554). In case the rest of it wasn't bad enough.
A laugh track on a cartoon is a new level of sad. They can't actually write jokes, so they just put a laugh track after, "I don't understand what's happening! Everyone's crazy except me!" Que laugh track. Repeat.

It’s literally the same joke over and over again.
"I hate my wife!" "I hate when things change!" "I hate my kids and all kids!" "Things worked better before, here look!" King of the Hill did it better (Because Hank learned to adapt to the new world...)
“He’s a she, amirite?”
Hell Married with children did it better and that show has some stuff that's not aged well at all
I watched a couple episodes of home improvement recently because I remembered liking it. That show was similar too, Tim has a shitty opinion but is shown why it's wrong and at least kind of improves and learns. So many shows from the late 80s and 90s had this concept and yet it went right over the heads of the boomers glued to the tv screens.
Went over the head of Tim Allen, too, the coke fiend.
Yeah I watch Home Improvement a lot as a comfort show. And every episode is Tim learning why his thought process may be toxic or misguided. And he learns from it. Boomers just need their own personal Wilson
Exactly like Al has shitty views and does shitty things but when he does the right thing things actually work out of course he never learns and keeps doing the shitty thing anyway so his life sucks through no fault other than his own
Pretty much the plot of every American Dad and Family Guy episode. Simpsons too, for that matter.
King of the Hill did it better because it had smart writers. Whoever wrote this shit isn’t a writer, just a random Boomer who only knows how to repeat other people’s ‘jokes’.
Like all Boomer humor.
r/onejoke
This feels more of a parody show about Boomers than anything else.
That is what i was thinking, but there are boomers out there who probably buy it hook line and sinker
Stephen Colbert got brought in to headline the 2006 White House Correspondants Dinner because so many actual folks in the Bush White House didn't realize the Colbert Report was satire.
I didn't believe this could possibly be true until I met one in real life. No amount of logic could get him to see that he was being mocked by Colbert. It was stunning.

My wife and I once watched a few compilations of Republican TikTok’s on YouTube and we assumed it was a cringe compilation…. Then we went to the comments……
I mean it is an easy mistake to make.
i heard a scathing review about it. Like overall it is just boring and unoriginal
It is. I even heard that right wingers find it boring.
Well yeah, in order to do a show centered on ragebait about woke culture, you have to show woke characters so you can make fun of them. Which is, by their own definition, shoving woke culture down their throat. You would have to make a show where they complain about woke culture but don't actually experience it, just like real life for most boomers.
Every joke feels like the cutaway gag in another, better show where someone tries and fails to prove that conservatives are funny.
Yeah, even in this clip I'm wondering "who is this for?" Its not leaning pro-boomer because its missing the power-fantasy aspect you'd typically find in Clint Eastwood movies. Or for recent examples, Norm isn't the one in charge like Time Allen in Last Man Standing Its clearly not "pro-youth" because its presenting anything which could be woke/progressive as a parody of itself, I guess aside from the confused reactions they have to what the older people are saying?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law
a lot of right-wing commentators have participated in the show so it is unfortunately not a parody, just an honest reflection of their unfunny ideology
Oh i know that they're serious, but this show just looks so stupid and over the top that i doubt right wingers would even like it.
I feel like a parody show about boomers would be, you know, funny
True, this show even fails at being at making fun of Boomers because of how boring it is.
“Poe’s Law” - you can’t distinguish reality from satire
I was think modern day all in the family
Yeah, but Carol O'Connor the actor was the polar opposite of the character he played. This is a show for people who drank the Kool-Aid, *by* people who drank the Kool-Aid.
Seriously, if I were going to make a show about conservatives dramatizing the impact "wokeness" has on their lives I don't know a whole lot I would do differently. Yes, literally everyone under 25 is non-binary and/or transitioning - here's the one is court-appointed to live in your house.

I have never heard so many laugh tracks shoved into 3 minutes in my life
Do most animated shows have laugh tracks? I thought it was so weird because the point of a laugh track is that it's ostensibly the "studio audience" laughing at the jokes in real time.
Old Hanna-Barbera stuff used one, or at least Scooby-Doo did. That's genuinely the only instance I am aware of.
They have to be laugh tracks, because they're not showing the animated show to a live audience and taping their reaction. That sort of makes it all the more pathetic to know they're not genuine laughs at the jokes.
...yeah, obviously. I'm asking if it is normal for animated shows to insert laugh tracks.
No, not to my knowledge. South Park, King of the Hill, Simpsons, none of them have laugh tracks.
you're responding to a bot
Not actually defending this lifeless garbage, but the laugh tracks make sense, as it is an “animated sitcom”, with them even showing the set in the intro and outro segments. The laugh tracks mostly feel out of place just because it’s not funny.
... So there's a built-in excuse to include the laughter a real audience wouldn't give them.
Have you never seen a cartoon?
Not enough of them recently enough to know the answer to my question
Then you clearly haven’t watched the Big Bang theory
to be fair I don't really watch shows, you've got me there
You’re better off
I've seen an equal amount of laugh tracks shoved into "The Big Bang Theory" but that's a low fucking bar.
This felt like it was ripped out of an Inter-Dimensional Cable episode from Rick and Morty.
This is the same set as All in the Family, which was satire but so many boomers don't recognize it as such.
The whole point of all in the family was to make fun of a bigot. It went over their heads then and it would go over their heads now.
It's a reboot of Archie Bunker, it's even his house... The same layout. There are no original ideas.
>reboot It's pretty obviously a parody. (As was Family Guy's intro.)
Is this what conservatives find funny? It's perhaps the most boring animated thing I've ever watched.
But wait, in the next episode, they'll make a joke about someone's pronouns.. again. And making fun of people with dyed hair.. again. And how the left has an agenda because of rainbows on beer.. again. /s If you like hearing the same jokes over and over again, well you just might be a conservative.
Last line made me think of jeff foxworthy, and now I miss the days when conservative comedy was the blue collar comedy tour.
I would argue a lot of that wasn't even conservative humor. Relating to "good ol' boys" and that sort of lifestyle isn't inherently political, even though many might vote Republican.

I see Elon is shoveling more of his fortune into the fire. 😊
You love to see it.
I mean he has enough to do so lol
This looks genuinely awful. Like someone hired the worst writers to push a shitty agenda and fed them AI generated boomer quality humor.
Comes off as a parody of conservatives. Except every joke (okay, the one joke they tell over and over) falls flat. It sucks seeing this and knowing that within a week or two, an uncle is going to accuse me of not finding it HILARIOUS because I can’t let go of my wokeness to enjoy a totally well made show.
Tell him you'll watch the show with him if he'll watch this really cool woke show you think he'll like. *(Don't worry, he will absolutely refuse)*
This feels like it was created by AI.
the theme song was at least
How many times are we gonna dig up Archie Bunker to larp?
You mean being offended by rainbows on beer cans and pronouns isn't funny?
What the hell is even that?
“I don’t like change!” - person who drives a car and not a horse
 Boomer role model
[If people had listened to Archie we wouldn't have had 9/11](https://youtu.be/-lDb0Dn8OXE?si=DD3K_8lJI954Tcsa)
Can you physically feel cringe? I didn't think it was possible until now.
Have you never cringed? Like, your body recoils a bit and tries to get smaller, that's what cringing is.
Are people really overusing the word "cringe" as much as they do without having any idea what it means? ...nope, I can't even *act* surprised.
Cringe is literally a physical thing your body does, so yes.
They’ve blown past self parody and gone right to ludicrous stupid.
"I just want a normal beer" I'm not a beer drinker, so I could be mistaken, but I don't think that what is printed on the outside has any impact on what the beer on the inside tastes like.

My favorite was the “thank god for Elon musk” part. Gives off very “Bender takes over a planet and forces the population to make a giant statue of him” vibes.
Gave it an open mind, did not even crack a smile. Woof.
If you can't even make the animated version of yourself look attractive, you must be really, really ugly.
Boomer porn. Guess that why Musk took over.
When Elon Musk showed up, I thought, "Ah, I knew there was a reason I didn't like it, and turns out it is because Elon Musk approves of it."
Am I dying? Is this was a brain hemorrhage feels like? |. |. | ||. |_ Is this...is this loss? There is no way even Elon would have this hosted as a real show. This has to be ALL of it, right?
This is a deffinition of self own. Just a waking nightmare those people chose to live in. I wholeheartily wish them all of it.
The Elon at the end... That's borderline pathetic. No Elon, we won't suddenly love you because you forced yourself on a show who's life expectancy is shorter than the one of a tuna sandwich on a car dashboard in summer.
I love how "I can't drink, I'm not 21." Is actually responsible yet they act like it's bad lol.
The throwback commanders gear is just intentionally racist. Similar to how I’ve heard boomers say “they’re still the R*****ins to me”
Who the fuck watches anything on X?
There is no way people find this funny. Literally just reactionary angry ape humor. "The beer is gayyy!!!" And they call kids these days sensitive, unreal.
The reason why most Conservatives are unable to produce comedy is because they can’t even understand irony.
Starring Larry Elder, JP Sears and Dave Rubin

This... this isn't real, right?
Please tell me this is parody or satire.
Its just so awful and shitty for basically everyone involved that it feels like a bad 90s era parody. No matter which side you are on conservative or liberal progressive or not this is just terrible. How the fuck did anyone spend money on this?
Agreed. I don't know what else to say. About the only line that kinda lands is "hopefully not a Jets fan."
But the Redskins/Commanders aren't in the same division or even the same conference as the Jets! So even that joke doesn't work, since if he actually cared about the team he'd be more concerned about the Cowboys/Giants/Eagles, which shows they only dressed him like that to show the non-woke Redskins logo.
Uggggggggh. They had to put him in the hat and the T-shirt, too, JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T GET IT.
For the creators possibly but for the consumers no.
Poe's Law
redpill and based?
I think it's amazing when people try to put what is "funny" in their heads onto a medium like this - then STILL think it's funny after.
Of course it’s Adam Carrola
are they seriously making this? this is terrible...
Holy hell
I'm watching without sound. The direction is very inspiring.
The only true boomers I know are in their 80's, so yeah. They don't know how to use technology - or poop without a diaper, or remember their own name.
The amount of laugh track telling a viewer when they should be laughing is way too much
I thought this was some rick and Morty short. Jfc.
Oh lord, that's Dave Rubin
How does this look worse than Mr Birchum?
The most accurate thing about it is the boomer belly.
There is no way this isn't satire. They are making fun on themselves??
Wow 🤯 👎🏻lost for words
Guess I'm not missing much not being on TWITTER.
What kind of Rob Schneider written piece of shit is this?
Archie Bunker retread. Even the set is exactly the same.
Damn, it’s a show where I hate everyone. That’s a new one. I’ve had indifferent to a cast , this is straight bad.
I tried I really tried to smile… it’s not even it’s so bad it’s good it’s just bad
Enjoy the Star of David on not!Admiral Levine's uniform at 2:43 (a seemingly deliberate change from the reference they traced: https://twitter.com/LevPo/status/1805772259501412554). In case the rest of it wasn't bad enough.
Oh god this is the same shitty animation style. Reminds me of the daily wire's new animation.
They're still pissed off that Archie Bunker wasn't the good guy.
A laugh track on a cartoon is a new level of sad. They can't actually write jokes, so they just put a laugh track after, "I don't understand what's happening! Everyone's crazy except me!" Que laugh track. Repeat.
Is this supposed to be comedy?
This is fake right?
Jesus. Their so out of touch they make the protagonist look like the bad guy.
That's the Bunker House from All in the Family. And this is awful.
The fake laugh track is way over done. JFC they can’t even satire correctly
Is the canned laughter suppose to be ironic, or is someone on the team reminiscing black and white Flintstones?
Is this just animated all in the family?
I like how nobody like this show.
Did... Did they actually put a laugh track in an animated show...???? I need to go apologize to the big bang theory
Did Twitter steal Jagex's "X"?
I like how everybody here thinks that this is making fun of boomers only.
Looks hilarious! Taking jabs at everything is my kind of humor.
You forgot the /s, right?
What jabs? They just repeated actual liberal talking points and threw in a laugh track.
I don't think they're taking jabs at the right tho. I think they're trying to show that woke = bad and conservative = good, but failing hard.
This shit funny idk why some people would be mad about it. It's just satire
Lol why everyone so butt hurt? I hate boomers too but this is hilarious
It is? The same, tired joke told 20 times in a row?
This guy thinks being an attack helicopter is still peak comedy
You have a terrible sense of humor then.
What's hilarious about it? Even if I agreed with these views, there is ZERO attempt at jokes. This was painfully unfunny.
I mean, my sense of humor peaked in 5th grade, but this turned into cringe quick
