For me if I had to pick a good contender it would be the UK version of The Office.

I know many tend to debate how Ricky Gervais really fell off and how he repugnantly acts like a whiny centrist edgelord but me personally IMO I actually don’t think he was ever funny not even a little.

His big break through television was just so painful to sit through it’s so charismatically boring the characters are completely generic at best (notably Tim) or straight up insufferably unlikable at worst (especially the protagonist David FUCKING Brent) and most importantly the humour is just embarrassing.

Always seemed like The Thick Of It but without the nuisance tongue in cheek and charming satire.

      I never really liked South Park (with occasional exceptions where it shone) but I loved the movie.

      I think out of all the Adult Swim type shows ( Family Guy, Robot Chicken, American Dad, South Park, etcetera ), I cannot stand any of them besides King of the Hill or Futurama. So definitely gonna agree with you.

          I distinctly remember at least Family Guy, American Dad, and Robot Chicken airing on AD where I lived, so maybe I might be misremembering, but I meant those shows as in the style of show I’d expect to see on there. If I wasn’t clear about that, my bad.

            Family Guy and American dad are famously fox shows made by Seth McFarlane. Plenty of networks do reruns.
