And the movies were definitely not as funny as the episodes from its first finale and earlier. It was still fairly funny all the way to the end, though. --- Reading this post may induce one or more of the following: Nausea / Butt-Hurt / Lulz / UM?

I remember after it returned it focused way too much on pop culture jokes like that susan boyle ep Yeah I feel like in an admit to appeal to a wider audience they did way more current day pop culture. I mean there was always some early 2000 and before references before the revival, but they worked because they were more clever and done not as often.The revival jammed the references down your throat and were so lazy. Susan Boyle and the IPhone episode were the worst offenders. --- <_< <cite>piehead678 posted [p:877734446] in Why did Fu...
