Edgy dipshit "comedians" that wanted to violently murder Barney in the 90's then shitty dude bro family guy humor in the early aughts.

I remember first seeing Tom Goes To The Mayor on adultswim and it being like a breath of fresh air. It felt like finally someone got how absurd it is to live in small town america.

Okay yeah I should establish that it is a problematic fav

I was much more interested in how it captured a deranged side of post 9/11 America that I was steeped in but saw no representation of.

Like people literally fled from him for approaching them while looking indistinctly foreign

Same! Borat had a lot of problems with stereotypes, but it was also kind of ahead of its time at making fun of the racism of Americans towards literally everyone.
