Geez, Lois, this is worse than that time I faded into obscurity because of right-wing cartoons taking my place!

Mr Birchum the cartoon by Adam Carola on the Daily Wire and another attempt at a right wing animated series that was posted on twitter
I was NOT expecting this to be the explanation.
Who is Danny Devito with the ankle bracelet? I'm sure searching for 'x.com adult animation' won't give me the results I'm looking for
Also the Chapo boys watched it so you don't have to
I "think" some rightwing cartoon that is absolute ass by all metrics (even by average american cartoon standards)
I haven't watched this analysis about it but I've seen this come across my recommendations at least once. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=18pGHPOoeMY
The right is starting to get better at comedy and it's making lefties nervous.
This will be the time The One Joke has been repeated enough times that physical reality cannot actually handle the integer value and it wraps back around.
At least, I think that's what they're going for.
This isn’t even necessary when the right-wing already has a popular show with South Park.
But the show itself again shows why Daily Wire and those associated with it are losing steam. Sure they think it’s cool when they go after queer people and leftists, but then they mock people with peanut allergies and call video games Satanic wastes of time. Suddenly these guys aren’t so cool anymore.
That’s why I think the right-wing faces of this decade will be younger and less openly religious. Jackson Hinkle is already gaining popularity in the global south for being anti-imperialist and anti-woke. Streamers like Asmongold and the streamers on Kick are also gaining attention.
It’s quite the downgrade from someone like William F Buckley, but this is the same right-song that rallied behind Andrew Tate lol all they have are performative “triggered” clowns.
This isn’t even necessary when the right-wing already has a popular show with South Park.
Are you serious?
Yes, at least for the younger ones these people keep trying to get ahold of. Younger chuds love South Park and reference it all the time to the point that anything they see of leftists being “insane” is met with “we live in a South Park episode.”

I think I realized how much these cartoons sucked when they left my life and absolutely nothing got worse, and I didn't feel as though I was diminished for their absence.
My partner really doesn't like most pop culture, and especially early in our relationship, we were sharing spaces intended for a single person - single rooms in an apartment and stuff - so we had to agree on a lot of what we consumed - it meant my "adult" cartoons and shit fell to the wayside. South Park, American Dad, that kind of pablum.
Once we got enough space back that i found myself able to more comfortably revisit this stuff, it never really landed again. It felt irrelevant. It felt shitty. It felt, at times unkind, but really mostly just irrelevant. Most of them have the voice of the older men who make them - a viewpoint I no longer share nor aspire to - and It's just like... each episode is 20 minutes of my life I could have spent reading, or doing literally anything more interesting.
The X shit is gonna be one, maybe two seasons of garbage nobody asked for - just another sign of the rising irrelevance of gen x probably.
For me, I was watching this shit out of some kind of inertia - it was how I had always filled my time, from the earliest days when sneaking south park was a subversive act against my parents - till those early days realizing my partner's happiness was more important to me than continuing to watch them - I bet anyone still attached to these garbage shows would have a similar experience if they had a similar extended break. It's just so non-essential.
i dunno, south park still makes me laugh, and so does family guy..
i don't watch them religiously, in fact they're only very rarely on, but i don't feel like it's any worse than anything else on TV
Mild take: These adult cartoons have always been chuddy, and this is just a natural evolution of that as Gen Xers age up and get crankier over time
Where is glep?
