why dont you watch the best-written comedy ever?

woah that was funny hahahahahahjhdjhvlsDVishDFVHdfhvSD;VHhksdvSDVLHSDFadflhVDK;Bsdvkbsk;jv

more clever and well-written than funny

the best jokes come from character establishment, not gags

go watch family guy or naked gun if you want gag based humor

there are no good sitcoms and modern comedies in general don't make me laugh at all

First clause is wrong, second is just sad

this show's humor hinges primarily on digestible meta-humor, cheap pop culture references, lowest common denominator tripe

Wrong. That's Family Guy's sense of humor - breaking the fourth wall and referencing television for the hell of it is MacFarlane's forte. This show uses meta humor to heighten characters, and every television reference comes out of the mouths of the different characters (as opposed to the author) and reveals things about them. Abed and Jeff might reference the same 80s TV show since they both had abusive/absent parents and were raised on TV, but someone like Pierce is going to reference an obscure 70s show that he thinks people think is cool ("Is that how a Beastmaster would think?" "Oh, I never saw Beastmaster! I just wanted you guys to think I was cool.") Every single joke or plot point is character-based, and has a tangible point. The fact you're only willing to perceive the show on such a biased, base level is so annoying. Watch a damn episode.

the entire cast—especially joel mchale, gillian jacobs, and ken jeong—cannot act and simply aren't funny

Also wrong lmao - the cast is amazing. ESPECIALLY Joel McHale and Gillian Jacobs. Why are you so backwards?

i like childish gambino's music at least

Freaks & Geeks and Bonfire are literally his only good songs
