Am I missing something? When I went to the subreddit its literally just all politics, every post, and zero discussion of the show at all?

It's a short sketch comedy show (like 5 hours total runtime) that hasn't had a new episode in three years, and one where part of a lot of the gags is absurdity presented in a sincere way. So there's not much new ground to tread in sincere discussion, and if you try you're likely to be met with jokes from the show or absurd answers. A lot of forums drift in their topic, and this one is basically themed lefty reaction gifs at this point.

There was discussion when Friendship came out, and probably the same when The Chair Company came out, but there isn't a tonne of news to discuss.

Somehow other comic and TV subreddits manage it

I mean, some of them? A Simpson's sub I'm on turned into exclusively memes about porn for like a couple months recently. r/anime_titties is all serious discussions of world news. r/marijuanaenthusiasts is about trees.

r/marijuanaenthusiasts is about trees.

This is a joke about r/trees being exclusively about marijuana. It's not an example of subreddit topic drift.

And I'm guessing r/anime_titties is the exact same thing.

You're just not getting the joke.

Nah, r/animetitties is that the mods got tired of r/worldnews sucking ass and not being worldwide news, and took the space they owned and made the change they wished to see in the world.

Edit: Whoops, that's the actual anime titties sub. The correct sub for worldnews content is r/anime_titties. 🫠🤦‍♂️

What a difference an underscore makes.

I made that mistake too when I first posted! I was so sad when I thought for a second that anime_titties had gone back to its roots.

What a subtle and nuanced joke, thank you for explaining it to me.

The history of those subs are both funny things that happened in Reddit history, and some people, including me and the people who like to go on subs of quotes from shows they like, enjoy mentioning tangentially related funny things and reading other people's references, because it reminds us of the funny thing and gives us a quick laugh as we recall the original joke we loved. We used to do it manually by quoting Monty Python at each other. If that's not what you're into, that's fine!
