    I’ve heard there’s a trope called “Seinfeld’s not funny.” It’s named after the idea that a lot of people who watch Seinfeld today think its jokes are overdone or cliche, not realizing that the reason they’re overdone now is because they were popularized by the show.

    More generally, it refers to works that are seen as cliche nowadays by people who didn’t grow up with them, but were actually the ones to start the trend in the first place, when it was new and innovative.













  • Someone down voted you but I can’t imagine why. I desperately want Biden to win but he looks like shit out there. Trump, meanwhile, is confidently spouting whatever horseshit pops into his head (even had the fucking gall to call Biden a criminal). Half the government is gleefully destroying the country and the other half is letting them. I honestly don’t see a way forward for this country. I don’t like to be a cynic but I cannot imagine a scenario where the next four years aren’t an absolute clusterfuck.
