I think the Russian has gone to his head, he's lost touch with reality.

[Muggs]

It's cultural, you are not an American, so I can understand you not getting it.

This

I get it, I understand the cut aways, but it is just meh

No if you don't know what the cutaways mean of course you would not find it funny. Like when they cutaway to a commercial that we used to watch as kids it's funny because we remember the commercial etc if you never saw it in the 1st place how can you be expected to laugh. Or here is another last night peter went to find his hidden porn the basically redid the beginning to get smart if you never saw get smart you wouldn't understand the parody. FG is a niche of funny because it hits on the nostalgia of a certain generation growing up in the US. You are neither the generation nor did you grow up in the US so it is not surprising you wouldn't even get most of the references and only see it as a cut away to nothing.

I don't get half of the references on there, but it's still funny.

And there is not much plot. I'll take that over the same exact plot line like that simpsons any day though.

Yeah Seth is older so a lot of his stuff is from early 80s and some late 70s.


And simpsons has not been funny in over a decade. That show just needs to go off the air.

[kestegs]

I never really enjoyed Simpsons, but it is just awful these days. Tried to watch a new episode a few months ago and made it about 5 min in before I fell asleep.

[Muggs]

The simpsons was hilarious back when they came out and back when people like Conan Obrien were writers and has fallen off steadily from 2000 on imo.

[kestegs]

Yea, probably true. I was never allowed to watch it when it first came out so I missed out in it when it was fresh.

It's funny to think that people actually considered simpsons bad television back when it was released. This country is so assbackwards when it comes to certain things.

[Skjolde]

I don't get ALL the references, I'm european and I still love FG!

And even though I don't get all of them, I still think they make the reference in a funny way, so I still end up laughing:P

[kestegs]

Yea, Simpsons is nowhere near as edgy as it used to be, looks rather tame these days.
