This was actually funny (unlike the previous ones which were quite cringey).
@GoodAaron@startrek.website ’s one was the one I’d been most hoping for from the time the Very Short Treks were announced, and so far it’s the only one that hasn’t disappointed me.
I have the sense that they are as a whole targeting at a very narrow audience demographic, principally of Americans who were young adults and teens in the late 90s.
I never quite got how ‘drinking poop’ preschool to 9 year-old boy humour took mainstream hold in Austin Powers (which I otherwise loved), but acknowledge it as having been a thing. I can even recognize intellectually that its in a long tradition of low humour that goes back to the ‘great fart’ of ‘The Miller’s Tale’ in Chaucer.
What I don’t get is why the folks who didn’t age out of this kind of humour seem to thing that there’s currently a huge untapped audience that’s just looking for the kind of stuff we got in the earlier VSTs.
