so basically each and every single character somehow is pathetic as well


even a dude like dale as well.

If you want to be taken seriously, you have to be a serious person.

I just realized their chip and dale. Did she name them after chipmunks?

reply

Seems most likely. But then the chipmunks, Chip 'n' Dale, were named after the famous Chippendale furniture.

reply

And the furniture was of course named after the male strippers.

they resemble actual humans, not superheroes, yes.

They lead 'real' lives, like most workaday humans who live in places like Bakersfield, have let down their mothers, and labor away in the shadow of their more fortunate siblings.... Only slightly exaggerated.

Unlike the loathsome 'Friends' who are living a sitcom writer's happy, sexxxy, sunny, comical, interesting dream.

At first I was put off by the depressing tone of the show, wasn't what I expected from a clown show. But the development has gotten better and it's much more a character study than anything else. Dark humor for sure, which always points to some hard truths and through what better vehicle than a clown? However, I feel the show won't let the underbelly of life get the last word.
