What joke, in otherwise great sitcoms, do you hate? (lemmy.zip)

I don’t mean that the joke just isn’t funny, I want to know a joke that almost makes you want to fast-forward through the scene.

Film spin-off

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What ?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

BTVS was a film first, so I'm claiming spin-off. But you are right, that show would be less without her.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

No way !! a film ?? Is it any good ?

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Good lord the trailer is amazing.

by which I mean, it's deliciously, ridiculously early 90s

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Watching it now it almost seems like a parody.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

well thanks for the discovery anyway, It looks worth a watch to me

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If you are a fan of the show, yes.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I have teenage memories of it. Not sure it was really any good...

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Bond spin-off?

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Homage maybe, but not a spinoff :-)

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah. I'm stretching my rule as much as possible. I'm basically trying to exclude all characters that have already been audience tested. Parody is sort of included in that.

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Ha ha, fair enough, I admire your determination to make this rule stick!

Another counterpoint though - Quincy ME. Oh course you could argue that it's not all that good even with Jack Klugman's crime solving coroner.

Oh, another one - Father Ted!

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. I may have to exclude medical/investigative.

House, Sherlock, Columbo, Reacher, Lucifer

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Veronica Mars, Ironside, Chuck...

Arguably Fawlty Towers too?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nah. Fatty Owls is named after the hotel.

Chuck is all about Charles Carmichael. (Streeeeeeeetch).

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Ha ha, fair enough. I see I've met someone as stubborn as I am ;-)
