What has become of Comedy Central? It began as a network to show what
most people would think of as classic comedy, and has turned into
something vial. Its “comedy” has become nothing more than guys trying
to get laid. They can’t even get their scheduling right. All of this
occurred to me while watching the most recent episode of South Park,
entitled Dances with Smurfs.
I remember when the channel began. It showed a lot of stand-up comedy, movies, and classics such as Monty Python. I also remember watching a respectable amount of Mystery Science Theater 3000, especially during one stoned high school Thanksgiving holiday. New shows came and went. I specially liked the Upright Citizens Brigade. South Park began, and so did the trend towards smut masquerading as comedy. I don’t blame South Park or mean to suggest a correlation, this trend represents something bigger and more evil.
South Park tries to make points with many of their episodes, often they will use extreme circumstances to clearly show both sides of an issue, though sometimes they will just do something for shock value. Either way, I still like it a lot better than the shows I see surrounding it.
I don’t find a bunch of dorks trying to get laid funny. Don’t we already have MTV? I guess that doesn’t even hold true anymore, I still largely think of cable in nineties terms. This kind of trash has probably saturated cable, a medium in which it has existed from the beginning.
They also altered their schedule. Before, they showed last week’s episode of South Park in the 09:30 PM time slot, right before the new episode. Now, they show some fagotronic show, and show last week’s episode at 09:00. Does it take someone with a brain to swap the two? Have the new lame show that we will all forget about in three months on at 09:00, then a block of South Park. Better still, just start a block at 09:00, then show the new shows at 10:30. This makes sense.
I feel disgusted and annoyed, and hardly feel like publishing this pointless rant. It just annoys me how the popular definition of comedy seems to have changed to smut. Of course, they do call it programming for a reason, and this change reflects a purposeful agenda by the true owners of Comedy Central to implement a globalist agenda…or does it?
By the way, I finally realized what Marge Simpson would say about appearing on Playboy. “I learned something. When people reach for their diafram, they don’t want to see my picture.” I know that the Simpsons appears on another network. I don’t care.
