    Yep! but it's a slightly offbeat kind of humor. If you hated Home Movies, Science Court, etc, you won't like this
    Also only watch the first 12 seasons unless you don't care about people getting fired or recast for shitty reasons

      This. I personally enjoy it since I'm fine with this type humor.

      Used to be pretty funny, now it's just meh, like familiar junk food you eat to pass the time. It's also been infatilized to hell, doesn't feel like an adult show anymore. It realies so heavily on the kids having silly little kids adventures with the same old cast of silly little kids and whatever adult joke they have going nowadays would be tame in comparison to an adult "hidden" joke in an actual children's show from 20 years ago. Most "crude" thing you'll see is something like their recurrent trans sex worker appear, say two lines and inmediately disappear. The movie was shit, too, almost regret watching it.

      It had a chance to be.
      The pilot episode is the show at its peak potential. Human Flesh was A fun quirky kinda dark show.

      After Tony becomes tina its all downhill. It becomes this gross mix between
      >Friday night kids cartoon
      >Seattle trannies on rollerblades progressive value preaching

      And it just gets less funny over time.

      If you like the pacific northwest vibes in an eastern town you might find it cozy. Thats as good as it gets.

        >The pilot episode is the show at its peak potential
        This, after getting up to date on the show the pilot feels so bizarre and dark, but is still one of the funniest episodes.
        >"You're the worst kind of autistic!"
        >"You can't even count..."
        Or
        >Bob: "He looks like a child molestor... Louise don't bring him the burger, let Gene do it."
        >Gene: "Why do I have to get molested?
        >B: "No he won't molest you because you're... heavy."
        >G: "Heavy kids can get molested!"
        >Louise, pinching his cheeks: "Yeah who wouldn't wanna molest this face?"

        You would never get an exchange like that in the show now, nothing even close to that dark. The longer it goes on, the more it wants to be a wholesome family show which is a total waste.

          I liked when Bob smoked crack with the unpassing troons. What's funny is that the show literally started at the beginning of the culture war, and it had to neuter itself fairly quickly with each season.
          Also, OG Louise was fun.

            It felt like they were trying to get banned. Even Bob and Linda are named after characters from horror movies, not to mention Louise's inspiration.

            The OG show would have had an episode about Tina losing her virginity.

            OG Louise would have tried to seduce Mr. Fischoeder.

          that's largely the reason it airs before the watershed and after KOTH on [adult swim]: the show isn't as crude as American Dad or Rick & Morty, so it's safe enough to put on while children may still be awake

          That show and Bob's Burgers have the unique distinction of never needing to be censored. No bleeped swear words, pixelated nudity, or on-screen middle fingers. I like this approach since it allowed each show to feel more "real," but I feel like after a while Bob's took these restraints too far and is now basically just a kids' cartoon.

          It's fricking weird that such a tame show shared room with Family Guy. You'd be hard-pressed to find an episode from the last five years with a TV-14 rating. Even Simpsons never softened up despite Bartmania attracting a lot of kids during the '90s.

      I wouldn't mind just a new cast of silly little kids too, like the ones voiced by the more talented voice actors that get ignored.

      The movie didn't show Louise without the hat and therefore is a failure to me.

      The plot and character arcs are just completely disconnected from themselves. For example, the restaurant facing a broken water main and sinkhole that could shut them down permanently has the most convoluted and asinine approach by the kids to save the restuarant by proving Mr.Fischoeder isn't a murderer. I find that to be a nonsensical solution where no clear guarantee of working.
      You then got the only character arc of the movie with Louise trying to prove she's brave, an inherently out of character trait that Louise never shown to have a problem and in fact has already been established as having the exact opposite problem where scaring her is difficult and that's why she takes such ridiculous risks.

        Bravery in the face of danger is not the theme the movie should've focused on because that's not what Louise was actually singing about in the hallway and how Chloe teased her about on the playground. This movie set up this conflict about growing up that it cowardly abandons for a more cheaper and digestible reaffirmation that Louise is brave.

          It's like they had to stop when they realize they couldn't do the arc without having to actually show the ears coming off but still kept the entire framework of Louise's arc anout growing up, hence this last scene to prove Louise right and Chloe wrong.

        Because Bob's austistic devotion to his ideal version of a burger place means he'll never succeed and his family will always be poor. Every opportunity is squandered, every victory is temporary, and breaking even is sometimes all he can hope for. More than once Bob has been pressured into some dehumanizing situation by his landlord for the pathetic prize of "a few months off his rent", or had to give up on something that can actually bring him financial success out of stubborness, the antics of his children, or some other contrived reason.
        It's a standard sitcom "everything went back to normal" structure, but after so many seasons it has started to feel like torture. Bob will never win.

    There are some parts that are funny, but it is a comfy show because there are some wholesome family themes in there.
    Though, the show does have it's autistic fanbase because all characters are primarily unattractive, socially inept, low income, unsuccessful, long-term failures, etc. These themes resonate with fans as relatable. Not to mention everyone is an attention-prostitute of some sort, like Linda, who gets annoying fast.
