What are your thoughts about this show...

What are your thoughts about this show? I've shown it to my friends (who's taste often aligns with mine) and they all hate it. I went into the show with inexplicably low expectations but came out pleasantly surprised.

Admittedly, the humor is on the crass side. However, snappy dialogue makes the profanity mere window dressing. The jokes are a great balance of visual shock-humor, witty dialogue set in a funky 70's atmosphere.The show often uses its context for interesting social, political and emotional material and insights.

I find the family dynamic to be fresh and unlike any animiation that comes to mind. The emotional content of the show is surprisingly effective for what could be so easily pigeon-holed as cheap pandering.

The middle class drama that the main character, Frank Murphy, faces is evocative of earlier episodes of the Simpsons in a way. But rather than aim for the staccato emotional highs-and-lows that Groening's yellow folk-gave us, F is for Family delivers more consistently throughout each episode.

To explain, earlier episodes of The Simpsons (admittedly I've not watched any in a few years) felt like they set a tone of an episode and ran with it. The shows were always funny, but when heartstrings were tugged they would be pulled firmly in one direction (think of the fugu fish episode, or Bleeding Gums Murphy's story).

On the other hand, the pace of F is for Family seems farm more nuanced. The action can turn on a dime; cramming a huge amount of texture into 24 minutes. [Check the scene in Episode 5 where Billy hears his parents arguing for a perfect example of this].

Sorry for the rant/review (first post on this board is a long one) but I didn't think that I would get any replies anywhere else!

>bait

Try reddit. You and your friends would fit in there.

Literally not trolling. I only ever use Sup Forums and didn't even bother reading any other posts on this board. I don't know if you lot despise this show, like it, express apathy?

Please enlighten me what Sup Forums's opinion is. I assume other people have mentioned it...but in what context?

Oh because you can automatically tell a lot about someone by their trivial interest in a random show that they stumbled upon. Congratulations at demonstrating your short-sighted thought processes.

But please, prove me wrong. You seem to know so much about me tell me some other shows that you think my "friends" at reddit would enjoy? You think you know my type then this should be an easy task. Silence or any other answer will make you even more of a pussy in my eyes faggot.

What I meant to ask you for was a list of show me and my "friends" at reddit would enjoy.

Simply put, if you think you can identify so much about someone based on literally trivial data then you must be able to make some other pretty accurate predictions about them.

Failure to do so makes you look like nothing but a sopping, wet vagina to me and any other reasonable person. All bark and no bite pussy.

>I only ever use Sup Forums

You're point being?

My habits outside of this post literally have no bearing on anything anyone has said here. They were mentioned in passing to give context to what I said.

You're obsession with trivial things is really perplexing. Autists like you are particularly shocking. Literally the attention span of a peanut. If you personify the character of this board then no wonder why Sup Forums seems more preferable. I'd rather the bizarre oddity of Sup Forums (with its many faults) than edgy faggots like you.

I know man it's ok

I like it, the sex scene where Bill sees his dad's balls was the funniest moment.

I don't watch a lot of cartoon shows but this one I would keep watching as long as Netflix orders more.

Listening of Bill Burr's childhood and relation to his dad made me realize how autobiographical this show really is.

I loved the comedy style and the pace of the episodes.

Looking forward to a second season.

This and love are underrated

Bojack and orange is the new black are overrated

Lillyhammer and frankie and grace deserve more love

Kek I love the smell of a freshly fucked pussy! A man with nothing to say is either:

A) Has no tongue
B) Is a sopping wet pussy

You've been called out multiple times faggot and can provide nothing but little one liners. Snivelling faggots like you are the worst kind of zombies on the internet. Hive mind faggots like you make me regret the invention of the internet.

It was really unexpected! That's what I'm talking about. Humor is often said to be, in part, because it catches us off guard. I really didn't even think a scene like that could be aired!

Bojack was okay (I only watched it on and off; the wife loved it though). I found it to be really contrived at times, it felt like it was trying to be funny. Ironic as Bojack himself was actually a pretty shitty actor haha.

Couldn't make it through one episode. Bill Burr should not be a voice actor.

>A man with nothing to say is either:

>A) Has no tongue

lmao fucking retard

back to /r/atheism m'lady

I'm only and but I will give you a little window into my thought process
I was just copying the way people post on Sup Forums because I want to fit in because and be one of the cool people on Sup Forums, I like to imagine that most of the board is actually just people doing what I do instead of actually caring, but who knows. I was going to post one of those bait hook fish meme pics but I couldn't find my folder with them in and got distracted by that hot pic so I just posted that

I'm not sure if you are sincere or not, but if so that is a pretty sincere insight into the mind of a shit-poster.

I just can never muster any energy to shit-post so I only type when I have constructive things to say. I literally don't see the point in doing it. Hypocritical for a Sup Forumstard to say, but maybe that's just it. Sup Forums is 99.8% shit posting and I guess I just filter it all out. Seeing it other boards makes me think (Why not just use Sup Forums if you want that out of your system?). That is literally what Sup Forums is for - random shitposting and having a laugh.

But to come into topical boards and do it just seems cringey to me. It screams unpopular sociopath or recluse. Probably parental issues because of this strange need for validation. Granted, everyone loves acknowledgement but I've noticed these validation complexes in people who had parental issues as children. Believe me, I am in a position to observe these behavioural trends develop longitudinally (over time).

Or I could be wrong and just chucking out words like a cold reader hoping one of them hits the right notes and makes you think that I know something about the mind of people.

Oh pick apart minor grammatical mistakes. Never mind that it is 5 am and I'm off my face buddy. The irony is 90% of the things I have to say are addressed to still-born fetuses like you if only you would listen. But instead you're simple brain just picks out immediate little pleasures like an awkward turn of phrase. Go ahead, there are plenty of other slips in my posts before. I didn't realise I was writing an editorial...faggot.

See above but to clarify I am not religious (athiest but more apathiest [apathy and athiest ammirite]). You're humor is not lost on me, but it is irrelevant and base.

For a T.V board (one where I would expect some level of wit) you and a few others are worse than the wall-flies on Sup Forums.

jesus christ

TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT

>samefagging this much
>being this desperate for a conversation
>you should probably off yourself

dude I don't have a validation complex I'm just hanging out with my buddies

in my head they're my buddies
sometimes someone puts "kek" in reply to one of my posts, that's close enough right?

I'd say it's a solid 7/10 as far as comedy animation goes.
I've seen better, the jokes are good but it's not quite there, maybe not tight enough.
love the atmosphere, and bill's voiceover is not as cringy as I thought
really happy for bill that it went well, excited for season 2.

It's shit and you're a faggot.

What a fucking idiot. I won't do the math for you but there are 11 unique IP addresses in this thread at this moment.

At the time that those were posted I believe that there were about 4 or 5 unique IP addresses in the thread at this time.

If you can get your head around some simple arithmetic you'd be able to determine that those couldnn't have been my posts. But then again if you were that shitposter from before (seemingly likely you are) then it is cute how burned that you've gotten.

Making up synthetic little arguments and never once refuting, challenging or building on any argument put forth in this thread, not just by me but by the 9 other unique IP addresses (and therefore I assume people) in this thread.

You are the one who should go kill yourself you know-nothing hick.

Oh I wasn't saying you in particular really, I was just musing on a thought that I had. I'm not really taking any of this seriously!

Was just coming here to work out some ideas I have with other people about pacing and humor. I don't know why it never occurred to me to use Sup Forums as a great interaction with the medium. Unfortunately my first foray here has been less than enlightening to say the least!!!

I do hope I've burned some of these dudes though. I know you lot are just trolling but as I said, why not just go to Sup Forums if you want that? It's a pretty great place :D

You just got here. Read some of the conjecture earlier in the thread, its addressed to you buddy.

Not sure how to take that but fucking loved that scene in particular. I've found myself saying "Tight" sometimes because of it.

literally the biggest tool i've seen on this board in awhile. how many times have you been beaten up by chicks' boyfriends for sending them creepy messages?

Every time i forget how autistic this site is someone like this comes along

exactly this

I could say the exact same thing ;)

Not once.

Literally all of you are the lowest tier faggots on the internet. I might be a 'tool' and you might think I'm autistic (over diagnosed man-baby disorder) but you guys take the cake.

Now I'm not perfect, but last I checked this is a board called Sup Forums. I came here and (admittedly) rambled a bit, but tried to keep it on topic. But all you simpletons (yes I used that word) could muster was shitty one-liner brain farts. Now with all your posts together I hope people can see the collective body of shit that cancer like you brings to the world.

People like you are not the cancer of Sup Forums. You are personified human cancer. Just a growth on the underside of society; mentally impoverished with nothing but a bit of cheap wit to get you by.

So go ahead and revel in your smug satisfaction at how you 'trolled le autistic tool faggot'. I hate to say it but you guys are even worse than juvenile school bullies who pick on nerdy kids, at least the bullies were probably molested as kids. You guys? Maybe...nut my guess is probably infantile hypoxia...maybe drowning on the bottom of a motel swimming pool ;)

Very few people have even give any form of valid criticism of the show. Maybe it's been done to death on this board, but if anyone bothered to read I've literally never been here before.


At least had a valid critique. All of you faggots seem like you have no voice. And my earlier comment stands, a man with nothing to say is most likely a pussy.

There are times to be silent I will admit. The fact that, not even under the guise of user, do you have any valid argument makes me weep for anyone around you. You must be literally the most boring fuckers out there.

And just because people have mentioned it; ask anyone who matters: women love talkative and opinionated men. So stay quiet and stay virginal pussies ;)

>going on Sup Forums
please leave

this is ironic right? there's no way this guy is serious

tl;dr btw fag

I know this is probably b8, but
>posts on Sup Forums
>calls everyone else personified human cancer

Nope not irony, I'm serious. And I never said I post on Sup Forums, just it is the board I most frequent. Is there a problem with that?

Sup Forums occupies maybe one to two nights a week; what with work, family, drugs, drinking etc. In that brief time I rarely have the will power to engage in cringe-lord faggots like I've been dealing with in what was meant to be a pretty benign thread. So instead I get baked and laugh at the trivial curiosities on Sup Forums. And I admit that.

But, much as I predicted, I've had to deal with autistic faggots like you who have no voice. I've been reading some other threads here and I'm getting a strange feeling. A Kubrick thread full of one line quips about "oh man, Dr. Strangelove is a masterpiece hur dur".

If you simpletons (yeah I said it again, call me a fedora fag) could muster any actual opinion or critique I suspect you would have done it by now. Instead your vain masturbation here is laughable at best. I don't care if I am out-numbered by popular opinion on this thread, just more pussies to be fucked.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. People who can't muster a decent reply when anonymous are literally the saddest faggots on earth. A man without a voice is a shitty little mouse, and it looks like I've walked right into a pest problem.

But go ahead, reply to me. I'm not really trolling, but your replies just stand as evidence to your simple minds. None of you have brought an even half decent challenge to the table; rather just incoherent babble.

I meant what I said before by the way. You fuckers must be the most boring faggots to share a room with. You failed to provide a reasonable critique of the show, you failed to troll, you failed in shit posting. You literally just cannot do anything right. Every short little shit post (aimed at what? trying to inflame me?) makes me feel even more certain that you guys are brain-dead children.

Go back and worship Kubrick ;) Idol worship is easy kids.

tl;dr stop being such a dummy and take some valium to relax

dude why are you even trying, retards responding with just >posts on Sup Forums
will always have the last word

Gtfo pleb

This thread gave me full blown aspergers

>Sup Forums
>more preferable to anything
No. Flat out no. If Sup Forums was mostly YLYL, raids, and rekt threads then it wouldn't be half bad. But 85-90% of all posts up at any given time are
>trap thread
>rate my dick
>incest thread
>gay porn
>share your gay stories
It is hands down the most degenerate board that there is, and if you prefer that to others then you are a degenerate that's beyond saving. Even tumblr isn't as bad as Sup Forums.

See

I really enjoyed this show, my girlfriend did as well and she generally hates adult animated comedies like Bojack Horseman although she enjoys Bobs Burgers. I had pretty high expectations going into this one as I enjoy the germ re and they were generally met, I really the kids for once in a series like this and the humor wasn't half bad.

Reminded me a little of my life growing up in the late 70s.

Every one of your posts is an essay written in the faggiest way possible, I came here because I wanted to see people's opinions on the show, not so I could see some face/b/ook user newfag have a live breakdown

samefag or a worthy attempt a mimicking his style, you got the autism down pat

>"REEEEEE I'M SPECIAL REEEE" the post

Indubitably, F is for Family provides a stark contrast to the general intolerably crude humor one could expect to experience going into a McFarlane animated comedy. Where 'Family,' an auto biographical creation of comedian Bill Burr's own heart, shines is that it provides a consistent tone of an American lower middle class family in crisis in contrast with dark humor.

I give this short series a 9.75/10 with high expectations going into the second season.

>this thread

Goddammit Bill your shilling worked, I'll finish the first season I guess.

How many times have you tried shilling this show? Jesus Christ this is getting embarrassing
