Can somebody show me an example of postpostironic or new sincerity comedy?
Look up "Haha, You Clowns" on youtube.
Holy shit K I N O! How the FRICK is this not a show when reddit and morty is?
I believe Adult Swim picked up Joe Cappa. We might be getting muscleman kino on TV soon.
I'm pretty sure that's still irony since it's obviously a satire of hokey 90s sitcoms with an extra layer of very real to life awkward middle class people with the absurd punchline of them being haunted by a poltergeist of their dead mother. It feels like a more subdued Tim and Eric kind of deal.
That's all the episodes, again I don't get what's post ironic about the series. The entire punchline of the episode was Pim trying to show him value in friends, family, and enjoying life but what got through to him was finding purpose in murdering horrible little creatures.
>it's obviously a satire of hokey 90s sitcoms
Yeah man, that's what post-irony is. We've circled all the way back to hokey 90s sitcoms.
OP said postpost-irony also known as new sincerity.
well you said postpostironic
so a show that just plays its straight with conventional, positive values right?
That's not me but I'm starting to think new-sincerity relies too much on the consumer to be unequivocally achieved in comedy.
This is actually legitimately disturbing because it shows how cynical everyone is now. Like I was thinking "Why is an Elvis impression funny?" And the answer is because its considered easy and overdone but this makes me realize that out there there is some genuinely moronic midwest puritan family that would think this is funny. We went too deep, I want to go back!
There was no irony in 1700s America
t. never read Ben Franklin
Ben might have been on one layer of irony and didn't represent the culture at large. Their would have been a violent mob if they knew about the Hellfire Club.
Ahem
Not even past the first layer of irony. Yeah its a parody of beureaucracy but that's just a setting, they don't do much with it.
Worst propaganda show ever created.
I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson
How To With John Wilson, I guess.
The obligatory answer
this is original sincerity
But now everyone is enjoying it in a metaironic way
smiling friends? I forget what its called but it has an episode where they try to cheer up the sad guy
Every episode they're trying to cheer up a sad guy. But I guess Smiling Friends is pretty genuine.
It's hard to describe what Joe Pera is. I remember thinking I had a bead on it, but then it subverted that by being sincere... and somehow not at the sacrifice of the comedy either, but rather it elevates it.
It's an interesting counter to the current mainstream comedy. You'll find yourself instinctively preparing yourself for something to come in and undercut a sweet moment it's showing you because that's the usual thing we've seen a billion times but the show will instead be like.. "what if we didn't do that though and it will find humor elsewhere"
but at the same time it's not without edge
I dunno, it's hard to describe it, but it fascinates me. It's unique enough of a thing in comedy to at least warrant viewing the show as something to study
Its just very subtle and realistic absurdist humor. Most of the examples in the thread are confusing subtlety with sincerity
Subtlety vs sincerity sounds like a subjective measure.
hmm, it knows what it's doing yeah, I'll give you that. I mean it knows it's a comedy and that it's playing with sincerity in a meta way...
but that doesn't mean it's undercutting it though.
So its post-new-sincere?
There is a notorious antitheory gay on Cinemaphile who posts threads about how just learning music theory inhibits creativity, so I got some of my old music from when I had a similar attitude and posted it as him, pretending it was his music. Does that count?
Doesn't seem very sincere nor comedic but I could see how it might fit.
Only true because you posted it in this thread.
Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
Trannies be like
Got moobs but Im not a troon.
