Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

Humour was very different when they first started. There was a turning point in the late 90s with Mandrilaftalen and stand-up in general.

Everything prior to that was just boomer humour with repeated punchlines.

I also can't believe Tim & Gordon still have status as funny TV celebrities. They had one show 30 years ago where they told the same fucking jokes in every single episode.

But at least they weren't as bad as Ørkenens Sønner. Even at the time they aired on TV, you would be able to find their entire joke catalogue on the joke page in the magazines that old ladies read at the hairdresser.

Yeah. I just remember whenever their show was on when I was a kid, I just didn't find them funny at all. It's not that their jokes offended me or anything. I was too young to care about what was and what wasn't tasteless. I just didn't think they were funny. I thought they were extremely lame.

On the other hand, I remember that I did enjoy Linie 3 and had a casette tape with various live performances with Dirch Passer whom I considered a comedic genius as a kid. Still think Dirch is great, but I have no idea whether or not Linie 3 holds up. I remember enjoying their dynamic and how they kinda represented the superego, the ego and the id when they were performing.
