You’re so right. I have never seen commercials for a comedy show where every joke landed like a thud. The half-hour promo that arrived INSTANTLY after the football game was even worse. You would see cast members telling the camera how funny the other cast members were, and then they’d show clips and ... Thud. And as I’ve mentioned, the obviously complete rip-off of the “Seinfeld” situation just felt insulting. Wow.
That’s something I catch on to real quick, where cast members praise each other. It’s like a round robin love fest.
I really get a kick out of the shows where a person comes on you’ve never heard of before, and another cast member will rattle off how important they are, and a list of their accomplishments as if they knew all this right off the top of their head.
No, they had never heard of the person before either. It’s all scripted.
It was insulting wasn’t it. Good call.
