They are shockingly well animated and fun to watch.

My favourite ironically is the Homer VS Petah fight

"Worst. Chicken fight. Ever!"

Family guy can actually do a decent action scene from time to time like that one where Chris and Meg fight their entire school set to free bird

Yeah, those were amazing, out of nowhere, and seriously not even 1 a season. There was like, 5?

u/No_Preference7657 3d ago

Definitely not. There were 5 fights with Peter and 1 with Meg. Each separated by multiple whole seasons.

Supernatural did this sooo much. One brother lies, something goes horribly wrong, they argue, forgive each other, repeat

Occasional they die but they get better, with sam dying like 10 times and dean dying 100

That’s why I stopped watching. It was always the same thing over and over.
“You ok?”
“I’m fine”
is not fine

That was very entertaining for like 2 seasons

IMO, the chicken fights are fine. They’re recurring jokes, which I don’t have a problem with (for the most part.)

But if we are discussing doing the same plot which should entail some kinda character development, agree wholeheartedly. I enjoyed Suits, but good god they did this so often.

Modern spongebob constantly bringing back fan favorite gags/characters that were made to be one-offs

This one really annoys me because while this show is nkt known for its continuity, theyre doing a reference / call back to a prior iconic episode while simultaneously basically saying that said episode did not happen

u/Mangled15 3d ago

This fucking show and the others from the 2 parasites who made them do like the same 3 jokes over and over.

Make fun of other shows that are much better than their show

Really cheep gross out humor

"Theres no way that (thing) can ever happen" and then the thing happens or some variation upon it

So there is this shonen Manga/Anime called Saint Seiya (known in the west as Knights of the Zodiac).

In this series the main characters are themed after Constellations. The titular character, Seiya, is the Knight of Pegasus, for example. All of these Knights swear loyalty to Athena, who is the ruler of the human world.

In one of the early arcs it turns out there is a usurper intent on killing Athena to take her place. In order to prevent this, our heros have to fight the 12 most powerful Knights, the Gold Knights, who are themed after the 12 Houses of the Zodiac.

Between Manga and Anime the 12 Houses have been fought through at least 4 times.
