I don’t mean that the joke just isn’t funny, I want to know a joke that almost makes you want to fast-forward through the scene.

All sitcom dads being fat, slobbish and painfully stupid and unaware of anything to do with housework, children, or common sense but somehow they all have long-suffering yet weirdly hot wives who just roll their eyes and somehow don’t file for divorce.

The Simpsons

King of Queens

George Lopez’s show

According to Jim (Belushi)

Last man standing (Tim Allen)

Home improvement (Again Tim Allen)

Everybody loves Raymond

The entire premise of every one of these shows is HAHAHA DADS ARE IDIOTS HA HAHA

I am completely done with the “male character says something chauvanistic, female character slaps, that’s the joke.”

Futurama did it quite a lot, Leela hit Fry a lot, Amy hit him a few times. I done with shows that do that. I see that joke happen again I’ll stop the playback right then and there and cancel whatever service I’m watching it on.

Any kind of overt and heavily pushed version of their stereotyped personality is the joke.

Every joke in The Amazing World of Gumball.

Whether it’s visual gags, exaggerated takes, fourth-wall gags, deconstructed gags, pop culture references, or even forced bait-and-switch gags.

The blue cat boy himself is insufferable and his family and friends and all the other characters and how they’re all written are just as unlikable to me…it’s like Family Guy mixed with South Park but marketed towards a children’s network.
