Because they're training you to be exactly that, a button pusher that doesnt think and only memorizes and regurgitates, nothing outside the box aside from that. Now obviously you're in control of your own fate and you can use the system to your advantage but for those who don't see it like that which is many, they end up getting hazed into corporate slave lifestyle before they turn 12

      Other than 30 Rock lol they give a bit of truth to a lot of their shows. Like the reality show “queen of Jordan” and the “reality show” “americas kids got singing” they really do spoof on everything they do in that show which I love but I also think is a tactic move because it’s like reverse psychology, you see people understand why they hate it so they won’t hate it, anyways yeah it’s happened more than once

      I'm fairly sure that Robert Smigel wrote all TV Funhouse cartoons. TV Funhouse was a huge success for the show, so it is possible Lorne didn't screen them before air. However, I see the consensus says I'm wrong. That was always my belief, but eh...it's great the skit lives.
