I don't watch HBO or whatever it's hosted on and 
seems to hate it, and I'm barely online enough to understand half of what they spew into the air
Hexbear told me Ted Lasso is a manic pixie dream guy, which is what I suspected given Apple’s brand image, which is why I refused to watch it despite my liberal peers insisting that I do as an antidote to toxic masculinity.
Severance on AppleTV is the weird outlier of all those shows, its bleak in its depiction of work culture.
It’s a banger.
Ted Lasso is fascist, Young Sheldon is fascist, Letterkenny is fascist, sorry to ruin your 'fun'
Letterkenny is fascist
Tap the breaks there, bucko
I've never actually seen that show, I just googled "most popular sitcoms 2023"
Letterkenny is one of those shows that works better as 3 minuet segments than as the full episodes it actually is.
It true. It's like if Homer turned Jay and Silent Bob in to an epic.
Mostly it's just really fast paced wordplay jokes and dudes rock.
I have a soft spot for Letterkenny, despite not really watching it. I've met most of the cast when i was living in the region the show is filmed in.
It's heart seems to be in the right place. "Look at these silly hicks ha ha they have mostly good politics and are kind people who care about their friends and community". It turns the country bumpkin thing on it's head and they're all smart, clever, principled, etc.
It does remind me of the area i grew up in, mostly union people, farmers, and ndp supporters. Not exactly the most educated bunch, and on the older side, but they seemed to try.
Eh, I haven't seen this show but I don't give lib media much credit for saying "punch (blatant) Nazis!" It's pretty easy to advocate for punching people with literal swastika tattoos, everyone hates them (unless they're in Ukraine). Thing is they're fine with fascist behavior when it had the cloak of western liberalism over it.
It's like a dude who gets really agro about how he wants to murder pedophiles but then doesn't give a shit about his guy friend creeping on barely legal girls at punk shows. Yeah it's easy to hate the guys who literally yank elementary school girls into white panels vans bro, everyone gets that's wrong.
Hey I learned how to do the "dragged by the hair" stunt back... uh... I actually have no idea. But I know how to do it!
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Hollywood is the entertainment division of the Pentagon, so what else does anyone expect?
Letterkenny? Not Letterkenny too!
It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated but we must follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may
your heroes.
Letterkenny is probably okay.
"We don't practice violence"
"We do"
Is just the perfect exchange when talking about Nazis in society.
Yeah I'd say it's fascist in the Phil Greaves sense and not many others.
It's just a show whose value is in the expression of soft power projection of the American state. It's kind of a stretch that Ted Lasso, both show and character, are the "adorkable" American face for empire - that trope Citations Needed identified as "always bumbling military" - but it makes for innocuous propaganda of Americans as honest idiots.
I think it's a stretch but it might just bee a bad show and character.
Ted Lassos father was a class A war criminal in imperial Japan but was released because the US thought he would be a good anti socialist politician
Bold of you to assume Ted Lasso viewers are capable of answering your question
Just average lib show that libs love with a message about having a positive outlook or whatever. Another feel good american sitcom designed to be on in the background to drown out your existential dread.
I refuse to watch it as I am 95% sure that the football bits of it would piss me off.
I just don’t like smarmy feel good bullshit, especially when it’s present in such a didactic and heavy handed manner. The show is just pure cringe from start to finish, pre-flanderized before it even began
Ted LaSSo is inspired by university of michigan (aka scUM) head football coach and cheater and fraud, Jim Harbaugh. Fascist are well known for cheating and lying, especially in matters of sport, so by association, Ted LaSSo is a fascist.
what does ted lasso have to do with fascism? i have no idea. i'm not a fan of the show though, balanced drama and comedy poorly, and the sports part of it all never made sense to me. then the last 2 seasons become preachy nonsense, on top of horrible plot structure (ENTIRE plot moments happen between episodes!!! why the fuck would you do that) or the most ridiculous character development of all time (i'm talking about nathan)
anyways, terrible show, but somehow the cast of ted lasso ended up at the white house and talking to joe biden for some reason? joke country tbh
The first season was ok, when the tall lady stopped being the antagonist the series became shit cause it dosen't had any interesting conflict.
all Amerikkkan media is fascist, and so is anyone who watches it. Sorry I don't make the rules.

Ted Lasso isn't real
I'd say the character of Ted Lasso is very relatable to me but that may be more of an indictment of my childhood than anything. It is fascist in that it takes place in 
The american mind cant comprehend true football and processes it as fascism
I thought Ted Lasso was some quirky cowboy celebrity type like the Tiger King that people just hyped up because they’re incapable of turning on their front facing cameras to talk to friends while locked in their homes
I doubt it's fascist. just seems like a standard apolitical normie comedy to me
it's not apolitical, it's intensely liberal
If you've actually watched the series, which had a definitive ending written before production, then you know the major theme of the show is mental health.
You'd also know that the main character's endlessly chipper attitude is revealed to be a coping mechanism passed on by his mom after his dad committed suicide.
Some people out here be reading into shit they haven't seen like they're my 8th grade English teacher pretending they understand the alcoholic mind of a famous author that's been dead for 50 years.
If you've actually watched the series
Well that's never happening, so jot that down
now tell me why hamilton and harry potter are good
I’m confused, I watched the show all the way through twice and didn’t ever really catch anything like that going on. Just a pretty funny show that was refreshingly unproblematic (and also, they knew exactly when to end it before it got stale).
libs like it
