The emperor has no clothes!
21 December 2022
The writers of this show just threw a lot of random things together and pretended it was comedy.

Then, since there are no jokes, people don't get any jokes.

But, because there are a lot of things happening, they think there might be jokes, but they don't get it.

So, since they don't want to admit to others and to themselves that they are dumb, they pretend that the show is actually genius, and that they are also genius for 'getting it'.

Now, if you're reading this, you either might be thinking: 'This critic doesn't make sense, humans don't act this way', or you could be thinking: 'i believe this critic, this new tv generations are just getting dumber and dumber.

Well, this is true, and it's nothing new: This is pretty much the same story as the folk tale from 'the emperor's new clothes' from 1837:

Two swindlers pose as weavers, offer to supply the emperor with magnificent clothes that are invisible to those who are stupid.

People see that the looms are empty but pretends otherwise to avoid being thought a fool, until a child blurts out that the emperor is wearing nothing at all. The people then realize that everyone has been fooled.

I am the child.
