That’s the entire premise of ‘Kevin can f**k himself’ essentially spitting in the face of these feckless sitcoms covering shit writing with laughtracks.
This show had a character that physically could not speak to women without being intoxicated. I think they eventually created a pharmaceutical drug to resolve this.
EDIT: As for Friends, there was a lot of fat phobia and gay panic.
He eventually got over it, but yeah it was forced and uncomfortable.
Friends I never understood. I didn’t have a problem with most of it. It just… Sucked. It wasn’t good. I had more of a problem with Seinfeld but accepted that it was superior.
I liked the office overall, but the first season and a half was almost physically painful at times. They really toned down the schadenfreude at that point and pivoted Michael to being inept but lovable. The last season or so was all over the place.
There’s your problem. Just keep the laugh track on and it stays funny.
Same deal with Friends and also a fair amount of standup.
If your jokes aren’t funny without putting fake forced laughter behind them then they shouldn’t be said.

If I recall, they literally just dropped it one episode and acknowledged it with an “oh well.”

I’d rethink any opinions you have of Jerry Seinfeld. He thinks the phrase “Free Palestine” is worse than the Holocaust.
Don’t get me wrong, he sucks. But his show was better than friends.
Hard disagree. People still laughing cuz he wore a poofy shirt and it’s not even a cohesive joke. He just wore a shirt. Woopdeefuckindoo.
“Airline food. What is the deal with that?” Why are people laughing?
I’ve read 5 yr olds put together more cohesive story with crayons. Dude was just lazy.
Do you think Larry David is funny?
Not op but nope. Same with office as well.
There are just some people that enjoy watching others be uncomfortable and I think it’s correlated with having less empathy.
When I watched the office, I just felt bad for Michael.
A lot of those shows just focus on punching down.
Yeah I don’t like the office either, or parks and rec, arrested development, or any show that relies on being painfully uncomfortable.

They’re not funny with the laugh track either
