honestly probably not.
My best guess is that it peaked at a time where the mainstream was simply not ready or not looking for its type of humor.
It should be noted that the show has become quite popular since it has been on netflix.

also, I fucking hate normalfag speak, spoiler that shit man.
>>
Yea, they mentioned it in "The Gang Tries to Win an Award"
They're first episode is also about being racist, so it's not like they want to appeal to everyone anyways.
>>
The praise has nothing to do with the all white cast. The fact that it's so good that it actually deserves the praise it gets is because the cast is white, though.
>>
>>63366269
Came just to post this. It came just a few years early before this internet thing really exploded with tv series/netfilx and shit. Then it went into a steady decline, even the new teaser looked pretty boring.
>>
still pretty damn good considering theyre on season 11

even though its not very high brow I honestly just think its too smart for a huge general audience. The kind of people who love TBBT and Melissa McCarthy

You mean criticism? I'm surprised there hasn't been a smear campaign against it in this day and age.

The Gang Desperately Tries to Win an Award has a lot of commentary on this subject. It's pretty damn good.

Wouldn't appearing in blackface make the stars, white people, appear stupid and insensitive? I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they were going for, using blackface to make fun of whites, not blacks.

Nah because they know how it'll actually be received - it's making light of blackface and showing that it's not a big deal.

Like how Ron Swanson was supposed to make fun of conservatives, but everyone loved him. And how Archie Bunker was supposed to make fun of conservatives, but everyone loved him.

The difference with Always Sunny though, is that they make fun of everyone equally and the blackface characters are shown to be totally likable.
>>
30 rock did blackface multiple times. No one gave a shit about that.

And quite honestly, it's ironic comedy anyways. It's blackface not for blackface, but because blackface shouldn't be done, therefore it's comedic. Why the fuck are you complaining about that? Humor used to do way worse, and it used to mean it instead of just dropping layers of irony behind it for cheap laughs. It's 2015!

I honestly don't think the blackface thing was there to make a statement, it was just there because it was funny

They've done it a few times with the lethal weapon sequel episodes

I think the earliest they did something like that was when Dee did brown face for Martina Martinez
>excuse me, can I ax youse a question? When you white bois be dancin in the club, why you look so stoopid??

Also her Asian impression (buck teeth and all) is among the most offensive things on the show haha. I think they give this shit to her to do because she can get away with it (better) because she's a woman

Chappelle shit on everyone as well, so I think thats why people were pretty cool with it. Black, white, asian, he didn't care.

The characters actually always explain themselves with sound logic though. They're stupid, but they're not dumb.

The funniest shows have always been all white. Except for JB Smoove in Curb, I guess.
>>
>>63367591
I know.
I just guarantee you that the twitter user in the OP is a white guy.
Black people didn't give a single fuck about Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder and he even got Oscar nominated for that role.
>>
>>63366459
pretty decent poster by Hollywood standards, impressive for a fan creation
>>
It doesn't get praise, because there's 10 episodes a year on a cable channel that people don't care about.

I don't know if it's because of Rob or Fox, but they really don't do much promotional stuff for it. If they took out ads in newspapers, critics would like them more.

Critics are also hesitant to praise any comedy. I don't know if it's because comedy can age fast, is really subjective, or just seen as a lower medium than drama.
>>
>>63367618
I remember Everybody Hates Chris bring alright.
It was essentially all black Malcolm in the Middle.
That wasn't a show where the network was clearly trying to score diversity points though, unlike that Off the Boat and Black-ish.
>>
>>63367678

I wouldn't really say Sunny has aged though besides some earlier episodes being in 4:3

Chris Rock wanted to make a normal black family show. Not some Tyler Perry stuff. Only the mom had real exaggerated black characteristics, and it was mostly appearance stuff so they weren't all that exaggerated.
>>
>>63367964
EBHC is probably the only race related black show that makes fun of blacks at the same rate as whites

Fresh Prince? I guess that was more making fun of black characters and white people though.

Shit drives me crazy. They're not condoning the use of blackface, fucking obviously, the people in the show are clearly supposed to be dirtbags. Some people are insensitive idiots who sometimes do racist shit. Are we just not supposed to portray those kinds of people at all any more? Does their have to be a fucking satire disclaimer in the foreground at all times?
