I’ve been studying a lot on Home Inspection for my state lately and just need to kick back and watch something STUPID. I’ve also been reading theory again for the first time in a while as well as getting into boxing for the umpteenth time. And that’s not even getting into my whole work situation. So yea, needless to say I need some recommendations on dumb TV to watch and enjoy mindlessly. Lately I’ve been watching Old Simpsons, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Workaholics, Three Stooges and Whitest Kids U Know.

    Just finished watching all seasons of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Must say, some of the gags didn’t age well, but still good writing for the most part. Binging Robot Chicken is worth your time.

    Smiling Friends is hands down one of my favourite shows of all time. Like i cannot fathom how someone managed to make something this funny. Maybe my sense of humour’s cooked tho, who knows.

    The Black Adder is - i liked all three seasons a lot.

    Swiss Army Man is a really wholesome film and i like it, even tho it’s one big fart joke.

      I haven’t watched the other 2 but I was (and to an extent still am) a big fan of Smiling Friends. I love the realistic dialogue and awkward moments, especially the Shmaloogles episode where the King of the Shmaloogles makes a pretty heinous accusation about Charlie. The Glep Ep is also prob one of my favorites

          I’ll be sure to check it out, it sounds fun, worst case scenario if it isn’t streaming…🏴‍☠️😂If you’re into English comedy at all, I highly suggest “people just do nothing” I would call it a mix of British version of The Office with Trailer Park Boys, very fun show if you have access to it

        ughhh okay that’s hard because you seem to actually enjoy shows of quality and i veritably don’t (and also honestly my mind blanks when i have to actually recall specific things i enjoy). but i did have a multiple year obsession with the simpsons (including curating episodes from the modern seasons) that culminated in a huge organized playlist of episodes i enjoyed that were gems amidst the coal, and i can give some of those as recommendations. apart from that i also enjoy select episodes of queer eye (i don’t keep up with whatever happens after the show, i love mindless self indulgence and not spoiling things for myself)… let me look for what else i have in my folders

          I’m also a HUGE Simpsons fan, luckily my company I work for gave us a free 1 year of Disney+ so I just use it to watch Simpsons and will prob finish it once it ends

            also my current very intense unbearable hyperfixation is on bleacher report cartoons, short animated webseries that parody major sports leagues and athletes (namely gridiron heights, ripping the NFL, the champions, ripping football, and game of zones, ripping the NBA) game of zones’ later seasons are the only ones with a somewhat tolerable runtime for normal people (even then it’s short) and a plot, champions sometimes had a plot, and gridiron heights is episodic sketch comedy that only in s7 upgraded to two minute runtimes, but all are packed with jokes and easter eggs and are extremely unfortunately charming to me (to the point i got into the NFL because of gridiron heights, at least for watching plays, yes every player is insufferable and i don’t like them but their characters in show are very funny parodies and also unfortunately i started liking watching the games)

      My Dad, who adores Martin Short and Steve Martin, actually came around on Selena Gomez because of this show. He’s the average old guy who views all Pop artists as “trash” but he actually really liked her on this show. I may give it a chance someday soon

    Kind of a throwback but Onion News Network was so funny. Bullshit that it was cancelled so soon. I wish AMC would reboot it.

      A bunch of (if not the whole series) is free on YT and I check it every now and then. Great satire in that show, but I wouldn’t expect any less from The Onion

    Omg it’s my time! I am a piece of shit slop enjoyer. Here’s my quick favorites list of shit as I look down my Emby library of all the shit I have torrented. Granted, I have a TON more shows I love on here but these are some of the more “I want to just numb myself.”

    • Parks and Recreation: is amazing if you can handle awkward humor.
    • The Office: is a step higher on the awkward humor. I am building up to it using Parks and Rec because I have trouble with like, second hand embarrassment with shows like these. So far I am in love with Parks and Rec even if I have to cover my face sometimes.
    • Adventure Time: 10/10 dumb slop. Watch this.
    • Star Trek Lower Decks: is an amazing animated comedy in Star Trek universe. If you have seen the Treks it’s even better.
    • What We Do in the Shadows is amazing. Watch it.
    • Centaur World: Absolutely amazing. 2 seasons and like, the story goes from “this stupid shit is going to melt my brain” to “holy what the fuck this is heavy.”
    • Doom Patrol: Pretty good. Kinda weird. I really liked it. Interesting take on mental illnesses.- Good Omens: Watch this.
    • Rick and Morty: Truly mind rotting but it’s high on my list of rewatch ability and mindless entertainment.
    • *Futurama: Why are you not watching it right now? Just go watch it.
    • All of the Star Treks (Exclude anything made after DS9/Voyager, and the movies.): I am a huge nerd.
    • The Venture Bros: Is good.
    • The Orville: When you run out of Star Trek but want more Star Trek but also it’s written by Seth MacFarlane. Succeeds in spite of him and is like, the one redeemable thing about him.
