As in, what show do you enjoy watching that is the equivalent of eating a bunch of junk food in your underwear?
NCIS I know it’s popular but no one I know watches it. (Old school episodes)
Milf manor
Bitch hunter
That does sound like the kind of show one would watch in their underwear.
Lucifer. Every episode is the same and I love it.
One of our favorites. I really liked the actor that played Lucifer.
Coronation Street. I spend $10 a month for a BritBox subscription to watch just that.
The (Real World/Road Rules) Challenge.
omg my wife just discovered this show and she’s totally obsessed. she was shielded by all of these type of shows growing up… so it’s blowing her mind lol
Shrinking on Apple TV.
Love this series.
I don’t really watch it per se, but my wife will be watching Real Housewives of Orange County and I’ll find myself getting drawn in. Like, “Oh, what’s that one woman mad about? OMG she did what? Oh damn I can’t believe she did that…”
Fright Krew before I canned Netflix
Not really a show, per se, but
Reaction videos.
Specifically, reactions to consumable media like videos, games, or music. And it needs to be real, like, from some nobody with a webcam pointed at them in their bedroom, not that sterile reality TV tier content mill trash.
There is a dirth of really low quality trash in this genre. It has a well-earned abysmal reputation for being low effort, non-transformative, and all too often not even remotely entertaining. I’m never proud to go looking for it. Frankly I’m more embarrassed about my YouTube search history than my Gelbooru search history.
But even so, watching a recording of someone experiencing something I love for the first time… it’s like, the closest thing you can ever get to experiencing it for the first time again yourself. It’s a piss-poor substitute, but it’s a substitute. If I’m lucky, sometimes they might even give me a new perspective on something due to the unique way they perceive it. If, of course, they bother to actually give insightful commentary at all, which is itself fleetingly rare.
Processing all this trash just to chase a phantom of that feeling, I feel like it’s the YouTube version of huffing paint cans for a high or drinking antifreeze for the buzz.
Reaction videos are equivalent to the black stuff under your fingernails
I know there are some reaction channels that actively give insight on what they are reacting to and pausing and breaking things down as they watch. Scru Face Jean is one of those, and while I don’t really know much or care about rap and rap culture, he has been a great watch on his rap battle reactions.
Anything with James Spader at the moment.
Boston Legal was amazing
Bee and Puppycat. It’s just so bat shit insane while also being cozy and hilarious.
I’ve tried to watch it twice and I feel like I just am missing something about it. May be too random for me.
It kinda has a story that you’re dropped in the middle of that’s revealed as the show goes on
If nothing is on the TV, I’m putting on a random episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. By far my favorite show. The parody of just the worst people imaginable is my kind of humor.
Survivor 🫣
OG Cumtown highlights.
Indian and Nigerian impressions live in my brain.
Where r the jirls
Absolutely Fabulous.
