I seriously cannot tell if i’m enjoying this. Someone else needs to be subjected to this. Should railroad this through as a movienight interstitial.

    “TV Shitposting” was actually sorta big in the late 60s-Early 70s. One of the prevailing philosophies in comedy was ‘Throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.’ You can see this in Mel Brooks, Laugh-In, Jonathan Winters, and even The Muppets to a degree. The beauty of this philosophy is that it didn’t really matter if you didn’t get a given joke (or just didn’t find it funny) because the next joke was less than a second later.
