What the frick is with these weird games how’s on Netflix?
I am not being hyperbolic in the slightest when I say I feel like that they’re making these shows to target a sub 80 IQ demographic. Even the Netflix posters look like some satirical “OW MY BALLS!” Level trash.
Who the frick is watching this?
What the frick is this?
Kino
Six seasons.
SIX FRICKING SEASONS OF WATCHING moronS FAIL TO BAKE. WHY IN THE FRICK WOULD YOU WATCH THIS?
Hollywood is a money-laundering scheme. They know you'll leave it on as background noise and they don't care.
I watched it
ai generated and 100% guaranteed to get viewership
It really does feel like an AI generated it. Even the human “interactions” in the show between the hosts and the guests come off as incredibly cheesy and fake. I can’t put it into words but I watched a few episodes at a friends house and everything felt really off. Like the “uncanny valley” feeling but for human emotion/interaction as opposed to appearance.
They're making full blown tv series out of stuff that are good for a 10min youtube video at most...
People who like cooking like this
This I don't know
There are people who like cooking and then there are people that can follow a recipe like they follow everything else because the only time they'd ever possess an individual thought in their life is if someone wrote "individual thought" on a piece of paper and handed it to them.
The latter of the two like those shows.
If I was a kid I would have loved this
This feels like something that would run on nickelodeon in the early 2000
it's cheap content they can shoot a billion episodes of with little to no effort
my 8 year old loves this shit. stop seething over everything.
Streaming is honestly the perfect place for these kind of niche shows. Before, something like this would have been a huge gamble because it would have taken up air time, meaning you would have had to relegate it to a shitty time slot where it would have failed automatically. On a streaming service, there's no air time, so you can put shows like this out there and let the viewers decide what they want to watch. A quirky premise that can be explained in the title is a good way to draw in viewers.
I like the set they use
other than that I fricking hate the contestants and the announcer
Cheap to make.
Admittedly I’m no brain genius, but I love them. A lot of times I get home from working and just want to relax with something I don’t need to think about for a few hours, these hit the spot.
I think it's to make people less intelligent.
Correct. See
Go frick yourself. I’m a highly paid professional, I probably make more money than you ever will. God forbid I want to unwind sometimes. What do you do with your free time? Jerk off to Hentai?
Unwind with better television? Pick something that at least shows people demonstrating a more practical skill? Try Forged in Fire.
Hey everyone? Everybody? We got a sword guy here! Repeat: we have a guy who watches shows about making swords! Roll out the red carpet for this superstar!
It was just an example of something that's not pure excess idiotic hyper-consumerism, you fricknut
i dont think you can criticize someone for how they spend their time when you post on Cinemaphile m8, this place is worse than any shitty tv show
I can by understanding the bigger impact of my actions in terms of what services make money from my time.
i was looking at it from the perspective of what it does to your brain
Yeah that's still not a perspective where your show choices win out...
im not op, ive never seen them. i just genuinely believe this place has a negative impact on your mental well-being and wastes your time while trash tv like that just wastes your time
Watching trash reality tv promotes more trash reality tv, you help add to that media continuing to exist and evolve into trashier forms which arguably has greater negative impact on more people including yourself as you become the people from Wall-E...places like this can just frustrate you until you switch off and move on to something else.
>fricknut
Learn to swear you Black person.
Did I hit a nerve, fricknut?
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WATCH A SHOW WHERE PEOPLE SCULPT METAL, NOT CAKE!!!!!!!!!!
Anon can watch good tv shows aswell as bad ones my guy
Lmao DJ Khaled makes more money than everyone on this site and he's a drooling moron. Great argument. Have fun with your highly stimulating cake show.
Wasn't there a clone of this series on the Roku Channel? I think they called it "Eye Candy".
Did you actually watch any of them, or are you just shitposting?
Silly question, I know.
Please, do enlighten me on the exhilarating an subtle nuances hidden in the game show where morons look at two shoes and have to decide which one is cake or the show where morons jump from chair to chair to not touch the floor.
I thought so.
I thought so.
nott him but the cake one might show the intricacies of artisan cake making. dunno about the lava one tho lol
This is nothing new
Reality TV like Big brother kicked off the double digit IQ trash a long time ago
Golems, so that they can become more braindead.
Every time I see that woman in a picture of video I keep thinking that her hair is some glued-on piece
Do you have any idea how many browns there are?
cheap productions to have a constant flow of mindless content that keeps people subscribed
Kek my 3 year old nephew watches these garbage shows
windows 8 start screen looking good
It's cause they spend moronic amounts of money on 2-3 shows a year (like stranger things 35mil per ep) and then have no budget for anything else
"Is it cake" is a legit baking show, despite being based on a meme. Professional bakers, limited amount of time to bake and decorate a themed cake, one winner at the end. It may not be your cup of tea but it's the same principle as any other cooking contest. They have been around for decades. Why sperg out about them now?
Because this about bullshit decorative cakes that are for the most part inedible. It's the most wasteful kind of crap to put to film. Cooking contests typically involve actual edible meals that actually get eaten.
Yea okay fair. Think of it as a sculpting contest using tricky unconventional materials instead.
But that would be ignoring the actual reality of the situation. Is that how you watch these shows? Engaging in wilful, deliberate ignorance?
>Is that how you watch these shows?
No, that was for your benefit. I am aware that all food in all cooking shows gets wasted so there is really no difference. What's your point?
The levels of food wastage are significantly different. Do you compare every situation so basically without considering as many variables as possible?
>Do you compare every situation so basically without considering as many variables as possible?
You are comparing one single variable (assumed/imagined food wastage) and basing your entire opinion on that.
It's not assumed/imagined, it's just understanding how decorative cakes are actually made because unlike you and the intended audience, I'm not a fricking moron.
You are assuming food made in other cooking shows gets eaten. Probably some romantic notion about the leftovers being eaten by the camera crew or some bullshit. You may not be a fricking moron, but you're pretty ignorant.
I pity those who have to care for you with your severe mental decline, good day.
You haven't seen the show? The judges eat them and the quality of the taste and texture is part of the judging criteria. So again, just another cooking competition.
I get weird dystopian vibes from these shows, but I can't figure out why. The furthest I've got is the soulless colour scheme, and the lack of effort put into production. What else am I missing, that is so unsettling?
The fact that society tacitly accepts this can exist when just 20 years ago it would have been relentlessly mocked.
moronic game shows have existed for decades and have been widely loved, anon, this is nothing new.
NOOO CIVILIZATION IS ENDING RIGHT NOW
THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN VAPID PEOPLE IN THE PAST
THIS IS THE END TIMES AND A SHOW I DON'T LIKE PROVES IT
Game shows have evolved in form, concept, market saturation and societal impact somewhat over those decades...it may seem nuanced but it's really obvious to see it's not at all the same thing if you're not moronic.
"There'll be a lot of other people who flatter themselves that they're watching with a sense of irony and in some way haven't been taken in"
"And remind me, how do these ironic non-idiots show up in the ratings?"
"They show up the same my friend."
what's this from?
Well it was a sketch by Mitchell and Webb from their old show, the fricknuts in this thread have shown it's a reality.
Kek
Very relevant
Idiocracy was a goldmine of creative ideas for tv shows
This thread is making me giggle in public. Frick u OP
remember the random youtube videos aimed at kids ?
yeah....that's the same shit.
The first two episodes are cool just to see the cakes in whatever forms but I have 0 interest in watching anything beyond. It really does become a tired concept after that
