It’s the 50th anniversary of the comedy that’s so foundational for TV as a medium, it’s the Beatles for the small screen. Five decades later, John Cleese and Connie Booth’s show is still unmatched
I think it’s supposed to rub you the wrong way. In that first episode, for example, Basil is berating Manuel for repeatedly failing to understand instructions, but then a guest who speaks fluent Spanish walks in and Manuel understands him right away, making it clear the problem was Basil’s shit Spanish, not Manuel’s ability to understand instructions.
Ultimately, Basil is a delusional hypocrite and always the butt of the joke.
I don’t disagree there are other ways to go about it; however, I don’t see time as a factor here. The Office did this just 2 decades ago, and Curb did this and it wrapped up just last year.
When did South Park come into this?
Curb and the office have big parts that are already dated and cringe. In my opinion, in case it wasn’t clear.
Not really sure why you’re trying to make it sound like it’s “objectively” dated “and everyone agrees” when it’s clearly just a matter of preference.
I’m not, have been stating my opinion this entire time.
As time goes on people will say that shows become dated. Thats simple reality and not me speaking for others as you put it.
You’ve been the one not able to handle someone not enjoying or getting par of the show. 🤦♂️
I’m fine with not enjoying everything. I like parts of the show but it’s also dated and a sign of the times in my opinion.
If you have to ask why South Park come into this, you should go watch/re-watch it. Cartman is of the same breed as Michael, David, Basil, or Larry.
Whether you like Fawlty Towers or not is of no relevance. You tried to pass off your preference as some kind of critique and I’m calling you out because it doesn’t hold any water and you haven’t backed it up with any evidence.
It’s a public forum. You’re free to provide reasons why you hold this opinion or back out.
And it’s still weird you’re saying you’re not speaking for anyone else while speculating on people’s preferences.
Ahhh I see I triggered a “debate bro”
Blocking you after this.
Already stated my opinion on the shows having parts that are dated and cringe. I’m not going to explain to you why. Nobody owes you an explanation of their opinions.
With time every show will become dated. That’s not some personal opinion passed as people’s preferences 🤦♂️
I find parts of it incredibly funny but also parts are clearly a sign of the times.
Like for example the show opening with berating the foreign worker and the slew of language and culture jokes directed at the bellman.
Some funny stuff but also rubs me the wrong way.
Understandable.

Yes and there are ways to do that without becoming racially icky and that’s where it gets the dated and sign of the time stamp from me.

Yeah and that’s two decades ago. Soon enough people are going to talk about how dated and cringe parts of both of those already are.
Curb just ended last year. South Park is still going strong.

You can just say you don’t like it and it’s not for you without trying to speak for others.
