          Throw me a bone… Seen anything good lately? I haven’t laughed hard in months. Still looking for the next League of Gentlemen.

            Something new? Pfft. I wish. It’s like that kind of comedy just dropped off the map; everything I see even in the category of “comedy” in the last few years is usually some sort of Romcom, or better categorized as something else (like Action for a Marvel hero movie).

            Though you did say League of Extraordinary Gentlemen so perhaps some of the Marvel films would do it. They are fairly humorous. Especially the Antman movies.

            Outside of movies, there’s a bunch of current cartoons on YouTube that are great, but without any kind of schedule for uploads like Helluva Boss and Digital Circus. Hazbin Hotel is starting January 19th on Amazon, too.

              League of Gentlemen, not league of extraordinary gentlemen. If you haven’t seen it, you’re in for a treat. It’s some of the raunchiest piss your pants stupid funny stuff you’ll ever see. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0184135/

              But thanks. I’ll check out that YT stuff.

        Well, that’s why we get shotty comics nowadays. Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Gummibears etc didn’t have to be believable to be enjoyed…

          There is a difference between a comic about talking ducks, and the post above.

          Believable means it needs to be believable in the world established / within the context.

          A porsche in the middle od a medieval / fantasy setting isn’t believable, while a wizard casting spells is.

          This post implies “this conversation happened in real life” which no, it didn’t.

          I literally made a comment under this one that explains this “gotcha”. Read the entire thread before commenting.
