The New Norm

This show may only have a singular, three-minute episode released as of now... but this one was awful. If you thought Mr. Birchum was lousy, then you are in for a real treat.

The show stars some old man who is trapped at home due to "the liberal technology" or whatever... Dude could easily just destroy the device that locks him at his house.

The humor is also dull, to the point where they added a laugh track (I get the Flintstones had one, but the 60s were a different time...).

If you want to watch a good cartoon with a heroic Republican protagonist, just watch King of the Hill instead. Hank Hill would run circles around this old Grandpa.

It's on YouTube, so go ahead and watch the 3 minute pilot.

It feels like a parody of right wing humor - as in, there's no way conservatives would write something this terrible, and allow it to be released with conservative names attached.

But, no, it's legitimately a conservative attempt at humor, with the same tired jokes they've been saying for decades now.

Also strange that they chose to use All In The Family as its setting, given that show was famously liberal, despite conservative attempts to co-opt him.

So this show is the lowest of low hanging fruit. I'm telling you, if I didn't see the names attached, I'd think it was a small studio making fun of conservatives. But it's not. No way is this becoming a show though, I think the reviews of the pilot are enough to sink it. You KNOW they will say they were too edgy and were canceled.

This is not edgy, it is stale.

If you have any family or friends that have fallen for MAGA, then you have heard these "jokes" ad nauseum already. They were written by someone with the emotional maturity of a teenager that has discovered Ayn Rand or Jordan Peterson, whose comedic and political education is limited to memes. Puts on full display the incredibly inaccurate facts that MAGA holds to support their beliefs.

South Park has challenged similar themes, and they at least have some originality. That this got Apartheid Ford's stamp of approval also shows that his level of sophistication is that of a McDonald's happy meal.

This show did something I didn't think a 4 minute show could do. It took the "I hate transpeople" trope and beat it to death, then kept beating the corpse. Thankfully it told you where the funny parts were by providing a laugh track. The best part of this "comedy" was the shameless sucking up to Elon Musk with a completely pointless and non-plot related silent cameo and the "we love X" lyrics in the end theme.

The best thing that can be said about this is is that is was slightly less painful than root canal surgery and is very much a shorter experience.

If you like edgy comedy go back to South Park, CO. Parker and Stone manage to actually hit the mark and hit everyone pretty well equally.

This show was so bad I got syphilis.

The doctors were familiar with the type of syphilis when I went in.

Apparently a lot of people are contracting it from watching this show.

It's not the std kind of syphilis.

It's the kind where you get so angry that someone made this show thinking it's funny that you just spontaneously get syphilis.

Don't believe me?

Watch it.

The antibiotic protocol they'll put you on after the first episode will destroy your body's natural immunity for at least three years.

I heard three people in Texas had to start living in a bubble because their immune systems were absolutely toast after the amount of amoxicillin they had pumped directly into their brains.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
