For me if I had to pick a good contender it would be the UK version of The Office.

I know many tend to debate how Ricky Gervais really fell off and how he repugnantly acts like a whiny centrist edgelord but me personally IMO I actually don’t think he was ever funny not even a little.

His big break through television was just so painful to sit through it’s so charismatically boring the characters are completely generic at best (notably Tim) or straight up insufferably unlikable at worst (especially the protagonist David FUCKING Brent) and most importantly the humour is just embarrassing.

Always seemed like The Thick Of It but without the nuisance tongue in cheek and charming satire.

    I don’t know what they were thinking.

    $$$. That’s it, that’s what they were thinking. The previous Thors were among the worst performing MCU titles - I could be mistaken, but I believe Thor 2 was the worst. (Maybe outdated? Did eternals surpass it?) They needed to do something different to rake in the $$$, and they did, because the masses are stupid and will fork over $$$ if herded like cows. PS I actually liked Ragnarok, but I was never much of a marvel fan, so I didn’t have a preexisting idea of how the character should be portrayed to get offended by the switch.
