Felgor dislikes the clips of Community he has seen, Oak loves them. Felgor comes up with what he perceives Community to be about based on the clips presented and Oak bashes him for basing his opinion on THE ONLY BITS of Community he has seen. So Felgor, go watch 2 episodes of Community then form an opinion. Oak, give him a chance to change his opinion from actually having watched the show not the clips and then bash him if he doesn't like it I think I did link the Spanish rap.� The only reason I can think of that he's so focused on the pot is because I'm a stoner?� Coz seriously.� There's a character dressed as a pot leaf in one episode, but that's because he's doing an anti-drug play.� That's as close as I can think of to a pot joke.� It's such a tough show to sell because of the way that it builds, though.� So many of the little funny moments are only funny because of all of the weight behind them and the build-up and where they fit into where you expect the narrative to go.� If someone is going to try a couple of episodes, I think I'd suggest the two-part finale of Season 2 - "A Fistful of Paintballs" and "For a Few Paintballs More."� � I guess.� It's hard to figure out the exact best place to sell it, but that's about as good as any.� ETA: And of course, I'm also kind of being an extra bit of a dick on purpose.

	Oakianus wrote on Mar 8^th, 2012 at 3:58pm: The characters are just so thin and static to me that I really can't see them as being that analogous to real world people.� So little changes.� Through the first couple of seasons there was a bit of change, but then everyone just sort of retreated back into broad stereotypes that it makes me want to beat my face against a table or something. If it were just some tiny little show that no one else cared about, I'd have a live and let live feeling about it.� But the fact that it feels so thin and ridiculous to me AND it's so popular (and of course, the vast majority of its audience being non-nerds who think 'Oh, this is what nerds are like!') makes me want to punch all of the fuck trophies in the whole damned world.� Individually and with great force.� I can understand having a different experience with it, and even respect it, but it just makes my soul wither and sob.� http://www.ddovault.com/Images/Smoak.png� I see what you're saying about the character growth. There's been very little, and it's been stretched across 4 seasons. I think I overlook that part simply because I don't look at the characters as people, I see them as personifications of traits I see in my friends/co-workers.

	Oakianus wrote on Mar 8^th, 2012 at 5:01pm: Oh yeah, I definitely wouldn't unilaterally say there are no decent uses of a laugh track, period.� The Muppet Show is an excellent example.� I can pretty much just thumbs up this post and add nothing.� � You're stupid enough to think it's about rap and pot jokes, so you've already thrown away your ability for your opinion on the subject to matter to me at all.� Thanks for stopping by, though!� � ETA: Okay, okay, I'll go ahead and add in that it's not a show that lends itself well to watching clips since the deep characterization and the build-up from organic situations is what really sells the show.� There's no way to squeeze that into two minutes.� I know you like to squeeze things into where they don't fit so I will ignore the clips and check out a few eps.

	That's possibly the biggest the problem with BBT with me. The writers don't treat the characters as people, they have zero respect for the characters. I have to sort of wonder if people who find shit like that consistently funny have trouble seeing odd/different people as people.

I have to sort of wonder if people who find shit like that consistently funny have trouble seeing odd/different people as people. Exactly.� I'm a TV snob, don't get me wrong, I totally understand that I am.� But I just think that there's good writing and there's bad writing, and having no respect for your characters as human beings is one of the hallmarks of terrible, terrible writing.� I don't think everything has to be brilliantly written by any stretch.� And I'm definitely okay with stupid and light comedy.� But just to reach for a recent example, I really love Raising Hope.� As the successor of My Name is Earl, it's absolutely as stupid as possible and pretty much revels in the stupidity of its characters.� But it's got heart and growth and learning and believable characterization and I just love the shit out of it.� It's not about the show being smart in and of itself, it's just about being well written.� Felgor wrote on Mar 8^th, 2012 at 5:19pm: I still don't know if I love or hate you, but its a strong feeling. I started this after all. I guess I'm going paintballing this weekend. I would totally suck the capsaicin out of your chili, if you know what I mean. <3 I really do hope you like it. It's a lot of fun. And it's really, really hard not to recommend the D&D episode first, considering that it kinda sets up the main plot of the paintball two parter. Especially if you have some PnP experience. But then we're talking about three episodes, and I'm definitely pushing it, obvs. So you should probably just check it out after you're already in love with the show after watching paintball.

Obviously you know excatly how to piece one of these together. I can't keep apologizing a gazillion times for the back end tech and things people did on this game before I was even an employee. So one last time, yes some of the stuff from the before times sucks. Sorry about that. Yes we know, stop building new systems. Yes we know, finish the ones out there. Yes we know you hate bards. And screw you for bringing up the laid off folks. That sucks every time. I made sure all my people landed in other jobs real quick. None of my 'casualties' are unemployed, just sadly not employed by Turbine. Every business goes through this.Even Valve has layoffs. It sucks every time. If you haven't had to do it then you just don't know. Picking people and knowing you are about to turn their life upside down is terrible, every time. Not giving a bleep. No, I stop listening when the bile starts. Not worth my sanity. You know my rule, treat me like a human and I'll do the same back. When the rage train starts...cya. So here is my peace out of the vault for a while. Thanks for the list Ranger, that was actually clear and helpful.

	Have you guys seen Peep Show? Great comedy and I've got a hunch it would appeal to both of you, reading the above. (P.S. GS weapon/item stack will never be fixed, because they will fix it the day after I craft a weapon, and I'm never going to do that)

Oh you're in for a treat! I have a huge lack of respect for almost all drama I've seen... well, most non-comedy tv really, but The Wire had me absolutely hooked (although it tailed off a bit in the final season for me). Peep Show is one of my favourite comedies, though there are many to be honest. It has the lovely familiarity of nerdish humour (Mark's heard thoughts are just amazing), depth of character, plots developing naturally from small things, etc. that you both cite as positives of the shows you like above.

	The Wire is one of the best "procedural" dramas of all times. I used the quotes because it isn't really a procedural no matter what they call it.
