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.
Sports. I have little tolerance for it because every time a big event is on, people get incredibly obnoxious. They think they know better than the professional players, they keep making so much noise, it polarizes people into arbitrary bands and start talking shit like using that as an excuse to be a homophobic POS, sometimes they’ll even riot because their team lost/won (da fuk), and even kill people over their favorite fucking team, and so much more. If the game is on I’d rather steer clear because it really brings out the worst in people.
That’s mostly referring to football. Kind of generalizing.
Non-American football?
Yes, football
Honestly both. Global football has its hooliganism, and U.S NFL fans are also quite notorious.
I wouldn’t crash on all sports though. The ones with the gigantic corporate leagues that profit from people engaging in more-than-harmless tribalism (i.e: the NFL) aren’t great, but there’s a lot of excitement to be had in watching really skilled players out-compete each other toward a goal.
Except it bothers me how acceptable it’s gotten to just be yet another vector for predatory gambling. Disgusting.
I also hold contempt in particular for U.S football because of how ridiculously regularly players are giving each other head trauma. Nobody should be enduring that life-threatening brain jarring for a friggin game.
