I’m with my man Charlie on this one. Stop censoring content of a different era. How are we to know how much we have evolved as a species if everything gets censored and we aren’t able to have discussions regarding it. A trigger warning for those easily offended can also work like how The Boys did with their last eps of season 3.
Censorship in general is pretty ridiculous, but especially censoring shows from a different time. Its on par with not letting kids read the classics anymore, it just doesn’t make sense to do that
I would clarify, 'how much our opinions have evolved as a society', as a better way to state this sentiment; although I find much of modern society recently to be regressive. Evolution is defined wrong in all our dictionaries, or perhaps has no coupling to the Darwinist theory, so I understand why people constantly misuse it but the misunderstanding of it can cause some real problems as we have seen in the theory's short history. Evolution is slow and we are hardly different than anyone from thousands of years ago, evolution does not have a direction unless you believe in intelligent design, more evolved does not mean better but that changes occurred and were adapted to.
It's because we transitioned to a society that no longer relies on a "reasonable person" interpretation---how would a reasonable person react. We have shifted to "most offended person" level of interpretation which, shocker, makes everything offensive to at least someone. As it gets worse, somebody with more resources than myself is going to make a fortune creating a media outlet that accumulates and provides a censor free reruns and movies.
and i’m almost pretty sure Megan’s the reason for the podcast having structure . i loved the random rambling of the first few episodes . . . but i’m also happy to see the professionalism . We Love You Meg !
Yeah, turning the chairs around and getting her involved more was the right move. She’s responsible for some of the best written episodes of sunny and mythic quest.
It’s always enjoyable to hear Charlie’s deeper perspectives on creative processes, societal dynamics, etc. He has a very insightful and refreshing perspective
Glenn is wearing a Gojira shirt, didn’t think I could love these guys anymore then I already do… I still remember seeing Gojira live and not knowing who they were and being mind blown. Another Great podcast ya freaks
Fuck yeah! Saw Gojira live earlier this month and that's the most adrenaline I have EVER had, soaked with sweat and beer and what not?! Just amazing show and good vibes all around (I mean in the pit), definitely the best concert I've been too. One thing I don't get though is why they don't switch up their setlist. That's what I was told anyway.
Oh yes! Saw them open up for Alice in Chains and effing killed the whole show. Everyone after brought it hard to match them. After 3 separate shows, i absolutely love them even if i dont listen to them all the time.....all i need to know if they are playing a show and im there!
Absolutely awesome shirt. awesome to see that hes a fan. I have been fortunate enough to see Gojira twice, once in Fresno back in 2006 or so and again in LA back in 2011. great times
Loving how much the team behind the podcast has upped the production behind these videos. It's great to see the referenced scenes/clips right after the Gang talks about them.
The whole rant about Auto Motion Plus was so real. I hate it so much, it absolutely ruins everything and turns it into a soap opera. And I always feel like a crazy person ranting about it when no one else seems to care at all, let alone match my enthusiasm. Another in a long list of reasons why this show is near to my heart.
When he calls him an ugly troll when discussing who's going to be on the Billboard? Very funny scene. Then Frank gets him back when Dennis's competitive streak has him debasing himself to try and win the male model contest which Frank is judging. Then Frank tells him was all for nothing as he put himself on Billboard anyway! 😂😂😂

I like that Glenn immediately assumes that Rob didn't work out his arms in front of Glenn so he wouldn't feel bad... because my mind went to, "Rob didn't work out his arms in front of Glenn so Glenn would assume Rob's arms were naturally that big, when really Rob was working them out all the time."
Lol it’s because he’s not a metal head. I think on previous podcast he said kings of Leon and imagine dragons kick ass. You can’t be a metal head (or care about music) and like those shithole bands

@@mmsL125 one from 2019 was pulled for the same reason (dee doing blackface), charlie described the episode as having “distasteful” characterizations in the podcast if i recall
@@mmsL125 5 episodes in total. Theres this one, Sweet Dee shaping Americas Youth, The Gang recycles their trash, The gang makes Lethal Weapon 6 and Dee Day. All are actually really bloody good episode and as with most Sunny, point out the stupidity of the things that the episodes where pulled for. Some people just don't get Satire.
Discovered your podcast about a week ago and it's already one of my favorites. One request is to display the season and episode numbers you are discussing so we can go back and check them out easily.
I agree with Charlie. People should be able to watch something for themselves, and decide how it fits into their life. And if they find it offensive they can just not watch. Not a single person on this earth is forced to watch It's Always Sunny. Sure some people will get the wrong message, but that isn't the show's responsibility. But taking episodes down in an attempt at moral grandstanding, while the company that took it down, funds talking heads to complain about "cancel culture" or "wokeness" or "PC culture" or whatever the buzz word of the week is, seems more wrong than anything the episode had, even out of context.
@@timwhite3109 It isn't Hulu doing anything. The episodes were pulled by 20th Century Fox. The same company that funded Tucker Carlson to complain about cancel culture. and if you are wondering, no 20th century fox didn't pull any other of their shows or movies with blackface in it, just the one where the person in blackface is the butt of the joke, instead of the race being the butt of the joke.
thanks for this reasonable comment. I imagine a sizeable portion of commenters complaining here also would complain about "cancel culture" or "wokeness" or "PC culture" so was glad to see this comment.
@@uselessgarbagehandler I miss the episodes too dang it! They were good! I just wish the people complaining about that stuff knew that people on the "left" also enjoyed those episodes, and we didn't want fox to pull them. Let's leave our flaming bag of dog pooh at the correct door step!

I would like to see merch specific to each character that way they can have a competition to see who sells the most I.e. who is the most popular with the fans.
I really appreciate the relationship Charlie has with feedback on social media. It's good to think rationally about these things and realize most of what seems like loud opinion can often be a small percent of people. Also I never knew there was a name for the way tv's started looking. Auto motion plus got it!!
I find I disagree. He's certainly right that there *can* be a vocal minority, but it sounded to me like he was unwilling to partake in the discussion just for fear of hearing from one. I'd rather hear from a vocal minority than hear nothing, you know? That said if he feels staying away is what's best for his mental health and *fair*, that's a whole other thing.
@@satl3161 it depends. Certain subs are fine. You can get interesting info. Most of the more popular or political subs are full on freakshow dumpster fires. When there’s people like Meg on there it’s much better!
@@satl3161 Nah, on the contrary I'd say people who don't understand how reddit works and judge everyone there/every subreddit as one group are the worst. The IASIP subreddit is an absolutely fantastic little community!
The Auto Motion Plus thing is basically for sport and TV. It's a frame rate smoothing thing that fakes a picture that looks higher refresh rate than the source. If you're trying to make something look real then higher frame rates help sell the illusion, so someone watching the news on their TV will see a live broadcast, notice how "real" it looks, and then think the TV is great. They don't understand that movies deliberately use a lower frame rate to achieve a specific feel...so that setting that's making the football look weirdly lifelike, is also making their movies look like soap operas, because auto-motion is upscaling their frame rate to normal broadcast televisions 59hz. Most TVs specifically have a button that will change it to "Movie" mode that turns auto motion off. And the auto motion setting is usually called something like sport. The reason they are usually on that mode by default is that it's what makes stuff that they usually play on TVs for sale look good. News, sport, videos of nature.
Thank you guys for doing this podcast, it's amazing on all levels. And also grateful that Megan is as involved as she is on this...she's such a smart person and her viewpoints add so much to the show!
That is so weird to hear Glenn's comment about viral videos being "America's Funniest Home Videos without the host", because Saul Goodman made the exact same comparison *almost verbatim* on last night's episode of Better Call Saul. Extreme moment of cognitive dissonance/deja vu for me, also a really good comparison
@@Matty80822 Knowing one thing to be true or untrue, but allowing your bias to interfere and convince you otherwise. The worst examples would be knowing someone is a pedophile because they accidentally left their phone unlocked and you saw they had disturbing content on it, but you deny it and choose to ignore it because you like the person and it's easier for you to pretend it didn't happen.
1. So happy you did this episode. Literally one of my favorites 2. I absolutely hate that it was cancelled and thrown out. I saw this as a 13 year old boy and blatantly understood these are bad people. And they are literally saying seconds later how wrong this feels and how wrong this is. And I feel for everyone else who loved the show and watched people who never saw an episode tear this down. And Dennis your mule is shit.
For real though, I was able to understand it at 13 too and yet somehow well intentioned people who just wanted to prevent discrimination wound up reinforcing it, via censorship
Still don't understand why these big media corporations are so afraid of Twitter. Don't get me wrong, sometimes the backlash is reasonable and just, but it can also be really ridiculous. Especially with so much real life violence and hate in the world.
@@rosecity_chris totally. Like, the whole joke is that they are recognizing this character’s abhorrent behaviour. Charlie even says, “that’s racist”. Can you not have social commentary on anything? How can they put literally any movie with a bad guy in it?
My favorite "break out of Character and be nice" moment is with Frank in the Laser Tag episode. When Dennis says "See that's you bud" after frank makes the Laser sounds, I always die laughing.
41:30 I actually have an old school antenna on my house that was built in 1955z. They became obsolete in modern standards when waves were all transferred to HD antennas… not that the other frequency aren’t used anymore, I assume they’re using it for something else. 😈👍🙃🍻🇺🇸🙈
This podcast is almost as funny as the show. I look forward to this podcast every week and laugh out loud watching you guys riff. Also, Megan is also hilarious and the real host.
No way bro I love this podcast but it doesn’t make me laugh out loud every episode like always sunny does. It isn’t meant to just be funny like the show, they have a lot of serious conversations on here
I'm so happy you guys are talking about that soap opera effect. I do not know why TVs do this, and literally all hotel TVs are like this now, no option to change.
Motionflow/automotion plus/etc. just interpolates frames to 60 fps. Most TV is at 24 or 30 fps, but having sports at a higher framerate makes it much easier to watch. Everything else doesn't look right, or like how the creator intended it to look. It also doesn't do a very good job of interpolating, and often doesn't have the power to deliver a consistent framerate, so there's lots of hitches. It's also a default setting on most TVs now, which is really stupid because the average user doesn't know how to turn it off. They're essentially trying to make it a thing by forcing it on people.
I remember seeing some sort of behind the scenes of a film production documentary in 4k at a friend's house very briefly (It might have been Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, I genuinely can't remember), and it was obvious the cameras from fifteen/twenty years ago wouldn't have had that level of detail or the amount of frames so everything was sort of smoothed over and it had automotion plus... It just seemed so weird that they would put in all those after effects on that, of all things.
60 FPS is only the tip of the iceberg. Most TVs are "120 Hz" now, which means they're adding even more interpolated frames. A lot of newer TVs will advertise 240 FPS or 480 FPS. These are TVs which insert blank frames in between the interpolated frames in order to lower the image persistence. The bigger problem with modern TVs is that "turning everything off" no longer avoids all of the processing. That's why Charlie still notices some of the effect even after he's turned everything off. Generally, the more processing the TV does to the image, the larger the latency is. When you're watching a movie or a TV show, the latency doesn't matter, hence manufacturers will leave the processing on by default based on whatever "looks best" (obviously a VERY subjective opinion). For gaming, you want the lowest latency possible and the processing adds nothing. That's why most TVs have a "gaming mode" that you have to actually enable to turn the processing down to a minimum. The first (and only) HDTV I bought was in 2010, it's a cheap 39" Emerson that actually looks decent after some tweaking. It's not nearly as thin as Dennis' flatscreen TV, or as big, but it has zero "smart" features and doesn't screw with the image. I refuse to buy a smart TV since I mostly use my TV with my computer connected to it and I have no need for built-in functions that get in the way of the TV's normal operation, never mind the fact that said functions are inferior to standalone devices and act as additional attack vectors on my home network. Soap opera effect is actually very low on my gripe list when "smart" features exist. Luckily computer monitors have increased in size and work great for barebones displays that don't have any of the smart crap or useless processing of modern TVs. That's the way to go now. TVs are, ironically, cheaper, but in this case it's worth it to pay more for less.
I love this episode. One of my favourite parts of this podcast is hearing (👀) you all talk about your process and your POV on the industry. I really love it. Thank you.
I just love this podcast so very damn much. Sometimes as a creep, though it’s just as fantastic while listening. It’s just phenomenal…Thanks for all the quality work you’ve done and continue to do to entertain us all. It’s greatly appreciated, truly.
Glenn is a fking SAVAGE. Your takes are so refreshing, not safe at all. Had me laughing out loud more from this one ep than entire histories of other podcasts. Your three personalities together are one of the funniest things ever
I have grown far too attached to these men, I am sure it’s become unhealthy, but I ain’t stoppin. Love you all, keep up the amazing work. I’m always watching sunny and can barely wait for next season, but this pod def makes it easier
Me too. Sunny is my comfort blanket, can’t get through a day without watching it. Only been watching since October though, so I can’t believe I’ve never seen this episode.
i feel this especially with this podcast now. I would always rewatch sunny a few times a year and go through a phase where i’m watching them everyday but now with this podcast it’s like I can’t escape the sunny phase bc every time i watch the podcast I enjoy it so much I then just spend the whole week rewatching episodes or even podcast eps, until the next podcast comes out. Haven’t got through a new show in a while now aha.
@@katewelsh3095 Definitely look up a list of the removed episodes. As far as I know there’s 3 or 4. I’m in Canada, so for me the show is on Disney+, and has had quite a few removed, 2 because of Dee’s racist characters and one because Mac is in blackface for ‘The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon’. Definitely look up the episodes, you can find them uploaded online (might have to sail the high seas but possibly on Reddit or somewhere find a link even). They’re great, and it’s fun to see them all
I'm with Charlie I said that it's not fair for them to take away our ability to watch the episode like wtf. I have never been more mad then when Dee Day was banned.
Buy a portable drive and pirate any show you love. Keep the backups on a cloud storage and never worry about what streaming services are keeping from the audience.
@@RandomHeroX I keep external drives because I feel like cloud storage is not secure and is 100% available to whatever company is hosting it. Though, if I lose my belongings in a fire or flood or something, I’ll have wished I took the cloud route.
@@user-zo5jo3ox5g says 2017 so about the time they started developing Mythic Quest? But she wrote for Modern Family and Community before which is pretty cool. And now I see she wrote for The Onion also so that just shows her love of satire right there!
Gonna have to politely disagree with you there. The randomness of each episode is why it's so great. They needed someone with a fresh take on it cause Id imagine its hard to come up with ideas after 15 years. They were supposed to be done after 10 seasons after all, they were on Conan after season 10
26:34 It's because when you are creating something you are basically like standing with your face two inches from a mural. You can't see the whole thing. You can only see it's component parts. It's only once you are able to view it with an audience or put the project down for a while that you can have the benefit of the audience's eyes. I teach writing, and I tell this to my students all the time.
I know it probably won’t happen but I wish we could get these old episodes back, they were some of my favourites. I agree with Charlie, just put a notice in front that says “THIS SHOW IS OLD, SOME SHIT IS A BIT OUTDATED.” BBC IPlayer does it with its old British shows and I think it’s a great idea. Disney + too, they’ll have the same notice
If you guys didn't know Mythic Quest Season 3 trailer just dropped and you should definitely watch it. Shout out to Rob and Meg for making another great TV show.
Fun Fact: This episode is, of course, missing from Disney+ in Australia BUT the thumbnail for the next episode is a still from this one featuring none other than Taiwan Tammy.
The way Meg delivered the S you in your A’s dont wear a C and J all over your B’s was just as hilarious as it was the first time i heard it on the show @ 6:55
Wow, I was just learning about Megan and her career. Reading her Wikipedia page she has written for so many good shows, I like them all. This woman has it all, talent, a great sense of humor and a beautiful smile too! Love how she puts up with the boys when they starting talking about or doing ads for ED treatments. Rob , Charlie and Glen are also so talented and must be good guys considering all the amazing people that want to work with them.
Somebody gets it finally. The episodes aren't banned. Hulu isn't the sole offering of television. It's weird that some people actually thought they'd skip over this episode on the podcast. It's like they have no awareness of anything other than streaming. Must be zoomers.
As a creator who is older than 21 in present year, I remember when it was a given that works of fiction are orecisely that, and that fiction did not have to be a morality play - in fact, some of the most nefarious creatures exist in fiction. Does it mean that the creator should be censored because the villain was too scary? Pfft. Might as well censor Lord of the Rings because Sauron was gonna destroy everything, and we don't want anyone getting any bright ideas 😂
I'm so glad you guys enjoy the grape lady falling as much as my friends and I did. We were obsessed with that lady as 13 year old kids 😂 This is seriously my favorite podcast ever, especially thanks Megan!! Your sense of humor is perfect for producing. And the work done adding to the quality of watching over listening is better than ANY podcast out there. Thank you!!🙏 💕
I think the two most important things with any joke is who/what are we laughing at and are we, the audience, supposed to laugh at them/it. Lets take Dee's blackface. Like you guys said, the joke isn't on the minorities in the scene or race in general, but on the ignorance/racist character of Dee. We as the audience know the joke is on Dee with everyone's reaction to her speech. On how crazy it is and the palpable awkwardness/cringe we as the audience feels. Another example is when Robert Downey Jr did blackface in tropic thunder. Same premise. The thing is, should the nuance matter. In the end, yes it should. We should be able engage in the conversation first and explore the nuance before we decide whether we take down media/content. One of the problems though is that nuance is complicated. We perfer simple answers to complex questions. Only with hindsight where we love nuance.
I remember the billboard episode. Great one ! My favorite part was how the camera panned over and the muscled guy was already standing in a bucket of shit ! gotta love the visual camera humor in always sunny.
I agree with you guys. (Disclaimer) I am Black and I felt like you guys were making fun of people who are racist instead of racists yourselves as writers. I would never claim to speak for all people in the African diaspora, but I always laughed and enjoyed when your characters where being tone deaf assholes because that is the humor in the show.
Wow Rob, Glenn and Charlie pausing in the middle of their conversation to so TH-cam endorsements to get sponsorship deals that will pay them for their content is the type of content I never knew I wanted. They are SO GOOD AT IT. Their media training is off the chain. They actually made it sound natural even while reading from a script right in front of them.
I'm looking forward to Glen's hair growing week per week like a chia pet.
Small steps to fix small hair
I can’t believe he tried to hide that he was bald and wore a head piece. Glad he finally got the hair transplant
He lasers, it's like a turtle shell down there

Lol it’s because he’s not a metal head. I think on previous podcast he said kings of Leon and imagine dragons kick ass. You can’t be a metal head (or care about music) and like those shithole bands
I just found out too haha
Gojira are a phenomenal band.
This has one of the greatest lines in the whole show from Frank.
"Dennis! Your MULE is SHIT. I am no longer turned on by mules."
Also, Frank putting nothing on the billboard to even say what it's for lol

Another great frank line

Never followed a podcast from the beginning like this one. Very interesting to watch it evolve. All thanks to Megan!
well stated...i love that it's always evolving in Philadelphia (cheesy but not sorry) .and almost every episode of podcast is often different and unexpected in it's form
Megan,the goddess of the podcast.
May she never change, she is perfect just as she is.
So glad Megan got involved with the conversation on episodes compared to the initial episodes. The four of you guys fucking rock
i love that they referenced the sweaty hog blooper, its one of my favorite bloopers of them ever
I moreso love that Glenn is constantly referencing bloopers from over a decade ago like he watches them a lot like us lol
The sweaty hog one and the cream pie one are my favorites
Never should have been cut
I'm so happy they're covering the "banned" episodes, they're equally funny and deserve a spotlight like all the others
What other ones have been pulled?
@@mmsL125 one from 2019 was pulled for the same reason (dee doing blackface), charlie described the episode as having “distasteful” characterizations in the podcast if i recall
@@mmsL125 5 episodes in total. Theres this one, Sweet Dee shaping Americas Youth, The Gang recycles their trash, The gang makes Lethal Weapon 6 and Dee Day.

Discovered your podcast about a week ago and it's already one of my favorites. One request is to display the season and episode numbers you are discussing so we can go back and check them out easily.
33:31 the look Glenn give Charlie 💀
It was a very Dennis look😂
I agree with Charlie. People should be able to watch something for themselves, and decide how it fits into their life. And if they find it offensive they can just not watch. Not a single person on this earth is forced to watch It's Always Sunny. Sure some people will get the wrong message, but that isn't the show's responsibility. But taking episodes down in an attempt at moral grandstanding, while the company that took it down, funds talking heads to complain about "cancel culture" or "wokeness" or "PC culture" or whatever the buzz word of the week is, seems more wrong than anything the episode had, even out of context.
Exactly. Is Hulu also restricting content with violence? No. Violence = jail or prison time.
@@timwhite3109 It isn't Hulu doing anything. The episodes were pulled by 20th Century Fox. The same company that funded Tucker Carlson to complain about cancel culture.
and if you are wondering, no 20th century fox didn't pull any other of their shows or movies with blackface in it, just the one where the person in blackface is the butt of the joke, instead of the race being the butt of the joke.
@@noconsent yeah it's like they don't even get us
thanks for this reasonable comment. I imagine a sizeable portion of commenters complaining here also would complain about "cancel culture" or "wokeness" or "PC culture" so was glad to see this comment.
@@uselessgarbagehandler I miss the episodes too dang it! They were good! I just wish the people complaining about that stuff knew that people on the "left" also enjoyed those episodes, and we didn't want fox to pull them. Let's leave our flaming bag of dog pooh at the correct door step!

No such thing as a “tasche” lmao
Glen rockin Gojira and Rob lookin like Mike Skinner from the Streets circa 2005 😀
It fucking rocks. Now I also want a cool Gojira t-shirt.
Idk why but I just really appreciate the fact that he is a fan of Gojira.
I would like to see merch specific to each character that way they can have a competition to see who sells the most I.e. who is the most popular with the fans.
Anything Charlie NEEDS to smell like trash.
that calathea behind charlie is THRIVING..... notoriously tricky plant. bravo to the person managing that.
I really appreciate the relationship Charlie has with feedback on social media. It's good to think rationally about these things and realize most of what seems like loud opinion can often be a small percent of people. Also I never knew there was a name for the way tv's started looking. Auto motion plus got it!!
Its an incredibly slippery slope to just disregard the vocal minority just because the vocal majority is in aggreance (ie Nazi Germany), but sure.
I find I disagree. He's certainly right that there *can* be a vocal minority, but it sounded to me like he was unwilling to partake in the discussion just for fear of hearing from one. I'd rather hear from a vocal minority than hear nothing, you know? That said if he feels staying away is what's best for his mental health and *fair*, that's a whole other thing.
Yeah, it’s much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise, and rationality.
We appreciate you for taking the time to interact with the fans on Reddit, Meg!
Simp.
Redditors are the worst
@@satl3161 👏 👏 👏 say it louder for the Gen Z’rs n the back
@@satl3161 it depends. Certain subs are fine. You can get interesting info. Most of the more popular or political subs are full on freakshow dumpster fires. When there’s people like Meg on there it’s much better!
@@satl3161 Nah, on the contrary I'd say people who don't understand how reddit works and judge everyone there/every subreddit as one group are the worst. The IASIP subreddit is an absolutely fantastic little community!
The Auto Motion Plus thing is basically for sport and TV. It's a frame rate smoothing thing that fakes a picture that looks higher refresh rate than the source. If you're trying to make something look real then higher frame rates help sell the illusion, so someone watching the news on their TV will see a live broadcast, notice how "real" it looks, and then think the TV is great. They don't understand that movies deliberately use a lower frame rate to achieve a specific feel...so that setting that's making the football look weirdly lifelike, is also making their movies look like soap operas, because auto-motion is upscaling their frame rate to normal broadcast televisions 59hz.
Most TVs specifically have a button that will change it to "Movie" mode that turns auto motion off. And the auto motion setting is usually called something like sport. The reason they are usually on that mode by default is that it's what makes stuff that they usually play on TVs for sale look good. News, sport, videos of nature.
I've scoured the comments for this explanation. The other 10% of people and I thank you!
Great explanation. Thank you!
Absolutely incredible, never change
Thank you guys for doing this podcast, it's amazing on all levels. And also grateful that Megan is as involved as she is on this...she's such a smart person and her viewpoints add so much to the show!

Huh? The episode is not endorsing misogyny. It's making fun of misogyny! Big difference.
1. So happy you did this episode. Literally one of my favorites
2. I absolutely hate that it was cancelled and thrown out. I saw this as a 13 year old boy and blatantly understood these are bad people. And they are literally saying seconds later how wrong this feels and how wrong this is. And I feel for everyone else who loved the show and watched people who never saw an episode tear this down.
And Dennis your mule is shit.
“I am no longer turned on by mules”
For real though, I was able to understand it at 13 too and yet somehow well intentioned people who just wanted to prevent discrimination wound up reinforcing it, via censorship
Hopefully one day people will stop ignoring context and enjoy life again
Still don't understand why these big media corporations are so afraid of Twitter. Don't get me wrong, sometimes the backlash is reasonable and just, but it can also be really ridiculous. Especially with so much real life violence and hate in the world.
@@rosecity_chris totally. Like, the whole joke is that they are recognizing this character’s abhorrent behaviour. Charlie even says, “that’s racist”. Can you not have social commentary on anything? How can they put literally any movie with a bad guy in it?

Character and be nice" moment is with Frank in the Laser Tag episode. When Dennis says "See that's you bud" after frank makes the Laser sounds, I always die laughing.

dicey dicey, bapa
I'm so happy you guys are talking about that soap opera effect. I do not know why TVs do this, and literally all hotel TVs are like this now, no option to change.
Motionflow/automotion plus/etc. just interpolates frames to 60 fps. Most TV is at 24 or 30 fps, but having sports at a higher framerate makes it much easier to watch. Everything else doesn't look right, or like how the creator intended it to look. It also doesn't do a very good job of interpolating, and often doesn't have the power to deliver a consistent framerate, so there's lots of hitches. It's also a default setting on most TVs now, which is really stupid because the average user doesn't know how to turn it off. They're essentially trying to make it a thing by forcing it on people.
I remember seeing some sort of behind the scenes of a film production documentary in 4k at a friend's house very briefly (It might have been Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, I genuinely can't remember), and it was obvious the cameras from fifteen/twenty years ago wouldn't have had that level of detail or the amount of frames so everything was sort of smoothed over and it had automotion plus... It just seemed so weird that they would put in all those after effects on that, of all things.
60 FPS is only the tip of the iceberg. Most TVs are "120 Hz" now, which means they're adding even more interpolated frames. A lot of newer TVs will advertise 240 FPS or 480 FPS. These are TVs which insert blank frames in between the interpolated frames in order to lower the image persistence.
The bigger problem with modern TVs is that "turning everything off" no longer avoids all of the processing. That's why Charlie still notices some of the effect even after he's turned everything off. Generally, the more processing the TV does to the image, the larger the latency is. When you're watching a movie or a TV show, the latency doesn't matter, hence manufacturers will leave the processing on by default based on whatever "looks best" (obviously a VERY subjective opinion). For gaming, you want the lowest latency possible and the processing adds nothing. That's why most TVs have a "gaming mode" that you have to actually enable to turn the processing down to a minimum.
The first (and only) HDTV I bought was in 2010, it's a cheap 39" Emerson that actually looks decent after some tweaking. It's not nearly as thin as Dennis' flatscreen TV, or as big, but it has zero "smart" features and doesn't screw with the image. I refuse to buy a smart TV since I mostly use my TV with my computer connected to it and I have no need for built-in functions that get in the way of the TV's normal operation, never mind the fact that said functions are inferior to standalone devices and act as additional attack vectors on my home network. Soap opera effect is actually very low on my gripe list when "smart" features exist.
Luckily computer monitors have increased in size and work great for barebones displays that don't have any of the smart crap or useless processing of modern TVs. That's the way to go now. TVs are, ironically, cheaper, but in this case it's worth it to pay more for less.
I love this episode. One of my favourite parts of this podcast is hearing (👀) you all talk about your process and your POV on the industry. I really love it. Thank you.
I just love this podcast so very damn much. Sometimes as a creep, though it’s just as fantastic while listening. It’s just phenomenal…Thanks for all the quality work you’ve done and continue to do to entertain us all. It’s greatly appreciated, truly.
Glenn is a fking SAVAGE. Your takes are so refreshing, not safe at all. Had me laughing out loud more from this one ep than entire histories of other podcasts. Your three personalities together are one of the funniest things ever
I have grown far too attached to these men, I am sure it’s become unhealthy, but I ain’t stoppin. Love you all, keep up the amazing work. I’m always watching sunny and can barely wait for next season, but this pod def makes it easier
Me too. Sunny is my comfort blanket, can’t get through a day without watching it. Only been watching since October though, so I can’t believe I’ve never seen this episode.
i feel this especially with this podcast now. I would always rewatch sunny a few times a year and go through a phase where i’m watching them everyday but now with this podcast it’s like I can’t escape the sunny phase bc every time i watch the podcast I enjoy it so much I then just spend the whole week rewatching episodes or even podcast eps, until the next podcast comes out.

@@katewelsh3095 Definitely look up a list of the removed episodes. As far as I know there’s 3 or 4.

Definitely look up the episodes, you can find them uploaded online (might have to sail the high seas but possibly on Reddit or somewhere find a link even). They’re great, and it’s fun to see them all
I feel this. I find myself wanting to cheer Charlie up 😆

I'm with Charlie I said that it's not fair for them to take away our ability to watch the episode like wtf. I have never been more mad then when Dee Day was banned.
Pirates win again. If you already have a copy of the episode from the original airing, you're good to go. Really unfortunate that it's come to this.
Buy a portable drive and pirate any show you love. Keep the backups on a cloud storage and never worry about what streaming services are keeping from the audience.

Yay for Megan getting more into the conversations! I'm excited for when they get to episodes where she started working on the show.
When did she start?
@@user-zo5jo3ox5g says 2017 so about the time they started developing Mythic Quest? But she wrote for Modern Family and Community before which is pretty cool. And now I see she wrote for The Onion also so that just shows her love of satire right there!
Yeah, she helps to add a little structure.
Gonna have to politely disagree with you there. The randomness of each episode is why it's so great. They needed someone with a fresh take on it cause Id imagine its hard to come up with ideas after 15 years. They were supposed to be done after 10 seasons after all, they were on Conan after season 10
26:34 It's because when you are creating something you are basically like standing with your face two inches from a mural. You can't see the whole thing. You can only see it's component parts. It's only once you are able to view it with an audience or put the project down for a while that you can have the benefit of the audience's eyes.

Hello there
As a creator who is older than 21 in present year, I remember when it was a given that works of fiction are orecisely that, and that fiction did not have to be a morality play - in fact, some of the most nefarious creatures exist in fiction. Does it mean that the creator should be censored because the villain was too scary?
Pfft. Might as well censor Lord of the Rings because Sauron was gonna destroy everything, and we don't want anyone getting any bright ideas 😂
Charlie keeping the convo on track is my favorite
This podcast is the best ever, I actually look forward to it every week!
I'm so glad you guys enjoy the grape lady falling as much as my friends and I did. We were obsessed with that lady as 13 year old kids 😂 This is seriously my favorite podcast ever, especially thanks Megan!! Your sense of humor is perfect for producing. And the work done adding to the quality of watching over listening is better than ANY podcast out there. Thank you!!🙏 💕

I think the two most important things with any joke is who/what are we laughing at and are we, the audience, supposed to laugh at them/it. Lets take Dee's blackface. Like you guys said, the joke isn't on the minorities in the scene or race in general, but on the ignorance/racist character of Dee. We as the audience know the joke is on Dee with everyone's reaction to her speech. On how crazy it is and the palpable awkwardness/cringe we as the audience feels. Another example is when Robert Downey Jr did blackface in tropic thunder. Same premise.
The thing is, should the nuance matter. In the end, yes it should. We should be able engage in the conversation first and explore the nuance before we decide whether we take down media/content. One of the problems though is that nuance is complicated. We perfer simple answers to complex questions. Only with hindsight where we love nuance.
Or....it's just funny bc it's just funny
There is a war on nuance in America 100%
Discussion of the creative process and the audience reception: Pure Gold. Well done.
Can we all appreciate that Glenn is wearing a Gojira T-Shirt 👏 - what a legend.

This was a brilliant scene!
I agree with you guys. (Disclaimer) I am Black and I felt like you guys were making fun of people who are racist instead of racists yourselves as writers. I would never claim to speak for all people in the African diaspora, but I always laughed and enjoyed when your characters where being tone deaf assholes because that is the humor in the show.
Wow Rob, Glenn and Charlie pausing in the middle of their conversation to so TH-cam endorsements to get sponsorship deals that will pay them for their content is the type of content I never knew I wanted.
