So just to make my position on this kind of humor clear: I think this is a millennial projecting their own self-loathing about their own long-passed youth culture onto kids. And that’s bad comedy unless you lean into it and make it grotesque enough to take focus, or at least semi self-aware, which he’s failing to do. That’s like meta-bad. It can’t even close the loop to pass for self-parody.
Everyone’s a critic I know, but that’s why I think this isn’t very good comedy.
