People with bad taste get shit on relentlessly regardless of whether they deserve it or not. Look at how badly Twilight was maligned in our culture despite the fact that it was really just a series of books that was unapologetic in its catering to tween girls. For that sin it was constantly parodied and its fans made fun of for years on end.

I don't know, I saw ICP in 2000 I think it was. At the after party for a local street race. They seemed out of place (musically), but weren't the most offensive thing I heard that night. There were no noticeable juggalos around then though.
I don't like them because they've turned their personal style and American "white trash"/rural poverty into an aesthetic (which I do admittedly think is awful) and it's been exported here, out of any context that makes sense.
I felt the same about people here that thought "gangsta rap" was a lifestyle choice.
Of course I'm overwhelmingly not a fan of American cultural, religious and political influence on Australia.
 
Lol @ calling a poster a pussy for not being so gotten to that they engage in personal attacks.

It's really good, but it does take a bit to get into it's overall...vibe, I guess? It's a mix of deadpan and wacky absurdist humor. I didn't really "get it" at first either. Once you do though, it sinks it's hooks into you.

Ive tried, man. Multiple times at various points of my adulthood from early 20's to mid 30's ....I just cant get into it. And I love deadpan, king of the hill is only show i love more than Seinfeld

Plenty of posters won't engage in personal attacks, but they'll hit the like button on serious personal attacks.

It's a great way to express your dislike for someone without damaging your ima nice guy posting persona.

And by great, I mean bullshit.

Can't blame you. It does walk a fine line between pure cringe and brilliant.

It's a bit like "The IT Crowd" in that respect, if you've ever seen that show.
 
Frasier is the GOAT sitcom.

It's not you, it's the show. It's just not that great. I don't dislike it, but it doesn't have that intangible thing that makes me go back to it.

Yeah, IT crowd is more in my world, so I can get into a bit more (silicon valley even more so)

Yeah, I agree about the it factor but everyone I know who shares my taste on pretty much every other show, loves the office.

One of them. It did make the mistake of going on too long though, and becoming a romantic comedy with a big wedding and shit. That's where I always give the nod to "Seinfeld", because it knew when to end before it fell into those tropes. First six or so seasons of "Frasier" are fucking awesome though.

And Twilight wasn't that bad either but if you are unapologetic in marketing to certain demographics like tween girls and white trash you will get flak even if its undeserved.

Yeah it's definitely not the same after Daphne and Niles finally get together. I never "got" Seinfeld (and absolutely hated Friends).

Yeah, hard pass for me on that baloney
But it's also important to not just spew aggression. Best thing most of the time is to insult the opinions and behavior while selectively mixing in more targeted and colorful direct attacks
