A collection of pretentious things from the web and elsewhere that are much less funny than they think they are.

This is a terribly unfunny show, yet it is almost universally adored. It’s a bland TV drama in the guise of an off-beat sitcom. I am still trying to work out why so many people find it funny, but I think the way the bland drama is packaged in a comic shell causes people to feel like it’s somehow heartwarming and rewarding to watch.
It’s not. It’s shit.
J.D.: [to Turk] Okay, fine. Let’s just play… Tip Over the Trashcan.
[He tips over the trashcan]
J.D.: Okay, I win.
Janitor: Can I play?
[Janitor knocks JD’s stack of folders to the floor]
Janitor: This is fun.
J.D.: Yeah.
Turk: It sounds like you’re asking me out on a man date.
J.D.: Turk, why are you so afraid of loving me?
Elliot: Hm! Can’t believe Chuck gave up stripping to become a city councilman!
Carla: Same job, different outfit.
Watch the show. All the jokes are like this. It’s trite, repetitive, primetime sitcom shit. With a tinge of “your embarrassing friend who uses the word ‘random’ without irony”.
