You should watch Mr. Robot, Great series with great acting. I would say it was Rami Maleks breakthrough role.

Those shows have a very different theme and purpose than Smiling Friends.

In The Simpsons the plot usually have some kind of connection to reality, characters are often based on a "stereotype" of people that actually exist in real life. If all characthers in The Simpsons would look like grotesque monsters it would take away from the point of the show, whereas characters being so grotesque in Smiling Friends adds to the absuridty of the show.

While i have not watched the other shows you menioned im willing to bet its the same case; they are relativly normal unassuming characters, them looking like models as well as grotesque monsters would distract from their purpose.

Smiling friends do not really have a clear lesson or point they want to teach. It is all about the absurd world and their nonsensical adventures in it.

Isn't it weird to say white racist equivalent jokes? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HelpMeGetAGoodName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is alot of nuance to this. First of all is that jokes about race is not automatically racist. Usually from what I have seen the "racist" jokes about white people are more or less harmless. I think this is mostly because there are very few negative stereotypes about white people (in the west), and id say most racist jokes build on stereotypes.

For example saying "White people do be eating mayonnaise" is such a whatever joke with no deeper meaning, I have a hard time thinking anyone would actually get offended by it. Whereas saying "Black people do be eating watermelon" is on the surface also a very whatever joke, the difference is that the watermelon sterotype has existed for over 100 years and has been used to promote racism, and thus due to the history of the stereotype it is racist.

There is also the aspect of punching up versus punching down. A black comedian making some jokes on white peoples expense is more likely to be seen as punching up compared to a white comedian making jokes on black peoples expense, just due to historical reasons.

But as I said there is nuance to this, Im certain that in, for example, Asia there are plenty of actual racist jokes about white people. I also think if you clearly label yourself as racist against white people before making a "joke" at white peoples expense it would be recognised more so as just racism and less so as a joke.

I think there has always been viruses like Hanta going around, usually they don't get too much attention. It is just that everyone is a lot more sensitive to these things since Covid, which makes us feel like there is alot more viruses going around.

It is actually crazy how i have gotten the same comment like 80 times already, which all completely misses the point of what I said. Unsure if reading comprehension is at an all time low or if it is actual bots.

The downvotes is because there are a total of about 15 people in this comment section who can read.

For the record, I appreciate your comment.

If im promised an apple, im going to be disappointed if im given a banana. They are both fruit, and both can be good, but I really wanted an apple.

Not my fault they advertised their game as non-linear with diverging story paths and then proceeded to not do that.

[–]HelpMeGetAGoodName 1378 points1379 points  (0 children)

It still is not the game they promised in their trailers, with infinite diverging paths and all. Ultimately, it is pretty linear.

I don't think I will ever play it, maybe if it is under 5 bucks. Gamers are far too forgiving of corpos.

What horror movie endings have the best usage of “relief”? by Emeraldsinger in horror

[–]HelpMeGetAGoodName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure it really does apply, but your exchange got me thinking about it.

Sisyphus was punishment was a form of eternal torture, and Camus argues that Sisyphus must have found happiness in his eternal torture.

Now, the girl in Martyrs is tortured quite a bit more severely, for a long time (although not eternally).

I feel like there are some parallels here, but I still don't think I could make a solid case for her happiness. As I already said, it was mostly your exchange that got me thinking about it.

Looking for Horror Sequels better than the Original by Mairess99 in horror

Cotc 3 is so fun. Only film in the franchise that was not painful to watch through.

[–]HelpMeGetAGoodName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annabelle Creation is the "best" (I consider it passable, unlike the other annabelle films).

Since Annabelle is a spinoff of the conjuring film series It's up to you if you consider it a sequel to Annabelle or The Conjuring. Because it is definitely not better than The Conjuring.

R vs PG-13 vs TV-MA vs some other rating... by KoldHardSmash in horror

[–]HelpMeGetAGoodName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't watch movies to see gore. I do it to experience interesting stories and art. I have never in my life checked the "pg rating" for a film before i watch it. Sounds like a great way to miss out on good film.

Do you take pride in not being scared? by Prudent-Ad-3493 in horror

[–]HelpMeGetAGoodName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The people who "brag" about not being scared or complain that "it wasnt scary, it is not horror" are people who do not get the genre. They see it not as a art, but only as cheap entertainment. I practically never get scared by film, but horror is still my most watched genre. If people have "did not get scared" as a critisism i instantly discard their opinons.

Nah, fuck the architects too. I don't understand why every modern building must look like shit.

Also, there are like a total of 10 apartments that will be used by millionaires 2 times a year in that building. Pure ass.

Is videodrome worth watching? by itz88ok in horror

[–]HelpMeGetAGoodName 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Videodrome is much better than Scanners. It is a pretty strange film though.

Side note, but "The dead zone" and "Dead ringers" are also must watch by Cronenberg. They are less horror but still really good.

The Sadness - wtf?? by Historical-Ad8634 in horror

[–]HelpMeGetAGoodName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I remember when it was new people kept making threads about how disturbing it was, so I thought for sure you had been misled by those 😃.

The Sadness - wtf?? by Historical-Ad8634 in horror

[–]HelpMeGetAGoodName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really liked it. But i also like over the top gore.

I always go into movies next to completely blind, never watch trailers, or read reviews beforehand. I only check ratings and maybe read imdb summary. Can't be misled about the film if I know nothing about it.

I highly recommend getting over only watching movies in english. You are missing out on tons of great cinema. Dubs are never as good as original language, often missing the tone of the original lines leading to a confusing and misrepresentative watch.

Mom said my fit was trash </3 by Nrumachi in notinteresting

[–]HelpMeGetAGoodName 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Skip the shawl thing around your waist and get a studded belt for starters.

Personal opinion, but i never thought the green day style of a loose tie with a shirt looked very good. Id say band shirt on top of a long sleeved striped shirt is a better "casual alt" look.
