I'm working my way through now, in season 4. Later seasons get better, but there's a lot more bad than good imo. I'm not sure I've seen an episode that's consistently funny, just the occasional good joke.

It's not a formula I find enjoyable, always sunny follows the same pattern.

Honestly, Seinfeld paved the way for a lot of quality cringe comedy.

It's like watching the Matrix and being bored with the beats/effects, because it's now the norm everywhere.

God, Matrix is such a trip, it's a real showcase of how society actively learns.

When it came out, I was a kid who was considered intelligent by peers simply because I was capable of understanding the film whereas even a lot of grown-ups found it hard to grok.

Nowadays the idea of our entire world being fabricated is so basic and so often the butt of jokes that you can't ever tell if someone's kidding or not when they talk about Simulation Theory.

And this is one of many reasons why The Matrix Resurrected was doomed to fail.

It's wild to think that it never occurred to me that Bugs Bunny calmly standing next to Elmer Fudd and simply asking what he's doing was a bit in and of itself, simply because it just seemed so normal and expected for Bugs to do that.

Yet if you showed it to a world that doesn't know who Bugs is, yeah that would seem odd

"What the fuck? The rabbit's just calmly approaching and casually observing the hunter? He's not running away or begging for his life? Well this is wacky."

Oh looney tunes had a lot of stuff like that. Like did you know it accidentally coined the meaning of nimrod as an idiot? Before bugs called Elmer it it was just the name of a great hunter in the Bible
