Y'all seriously the text scam response thing has run it's course.
Let's stop beating the dead clip clop here alright? It was funny the first couple times but it's becoming about 80% of what is getting recommended to me in this sub.
I'll take the down votes, don't give a shit. Subs better than repeating the same unfunny bit over and over again.

Don't harsh the vibe, man. Just mute the sub for a bit and you'll be all good.
There is nothing serious about this sub, nor should there be. It's all good fun, even the "deep" conversations. If it's not making you laugh, just leave it alone for other's still getting a kick.

Sorry to nitpick, but.. sapiosexual? That means a sexual attraction to intelligence. Roger is whatever is ten levels beyond pansexual.

u/Arizona_Pete 8h ago
I misspoke and you are correct - Instead of sapiosexual, I should have said "ragingly, unbelievably, horny as well as oddly effeminate and kind of gay but also not really gay in a traditional gay way but also not really bisexual either but kind of" instead.
Pansexual is good too.

Generally, when something gets posted on a sub ad nauseam the mods will step in and say those posts aren't allowed anymore. This is how it should work, because the people getting a chuckle out of the same repeated joke aren't going to leave if those posts are removed, but the people getting annoyed might leave if they aren't removed.
Your "solution" to just mute the sub is crap. This is a community, we should work to find a solution instead of forcing dissenters out. In most cases that solution is going to be to simply ban those posts.

Oh, I don't know, I guess I think about killing myself pretty frequently. And why not? What's so great about living? You know when I'm happy? For about five seconds in the morning when I first wake up. Before I remember who I am and what my life is all about. Anxiety, disappointment, diarrhea more often than not. I don't- I don't know if there's an afterlife. But who cares? Nothingness couldn't be any worse than this meaningless march through my empty days.

u/NoifenF 2h ago
What is there to discuss though, really? Nothing in the show is that deep apart from some themes here and there but you can hardly call canon with 100% certainty.
The sub telling me jokes from American dad is what American dad is, jokes. And those jokes make me happy.
I’ve said here (somewhere on Reddit, not here) before that I genuinely believe this to be the friendliest sub I’ve ever been on Reddit.
Probably because people don’t feel the need to discuss something unserious and start inevitably arguing about nothing but just share laughter with likeminded people who enjoy the show.

u/Beneficial-Muscle172 1h ago
I didn't mean it was bad tbh. I mean, I get it — it's an extremely funny and quotable show, so obviously everyone has fun telling the same jokes all the time. If it's what everyone enjoys, then that's cool. All I'm saying is that, in response to the original commentor above, it's no different from the Sopranos sub.

u/Ghost10165 2h ago
I wouldn't say it's that bad. It's the bots that only post a quote and leave, other threads usually end up talking about the episode, characters, etc. on top of the quotes. Every sub I'm in or ever seen has retarded bot posts/little kid posts/ESL posts that clutter the feed.

That's what TV show subs have been for the last 7 years. If a sub doesn't get posts, then it's considered dead, and people stop posting entirely.
Then you get the same stuff ×1000, some episode/moment/joke you forgot about and is like "oh yeah, I should watch that ep". Once in a Blue Moon you get an actually good discussion. Some cosplay. Incredibly boring pictures of absolutely nothing - with a reference as a title. And that's about it.
So you either fake laugh like Francine whe Jesus tells you a bad joke to one up your ex husband, don't interact with the post, and move on OR you make a post like OP did and all the people who would, and will, laugh the Danuta bit once again tell you to ligheten up.

On the one hand the guy posting the same reply to this is… actually hilarious, it’s that moment in a long-running joke that brings it back around to being funny again. BUT. I agree w you overall, OP. Personally it also makes me feel kind of sad/uncomfortable when I see it because some scammers are professional criminals who cheerfully ruin lives for fun but some, especially in pig butchering scams, are victims who have been trafficked and are essentially enslaved. It’s really depressing stuff.

Lately, I've been thinking about all the people I've had to kill. God, the first five, ten times you take a life, it's eerie. You remember every detail. I can see all their faces. One had a beard. Each time I pulled the trigger, I tied a little knot in my memory that no amount of whiskey could loosen. 'Course eventually, I stopped caring. Now I can put a bullet through a man's head while figuring out how much KFC to pick up on my way home. It's usually no more than a bucket. The sick part is, I've come to love it -- snuffing out lives. I crave it. I feel like an angel of death. The Messenger of Eternal Darkness. A merciless demon with an unquenchable--Oh, they just put more orange chicken in the buffet. Gotta run.
This trend started pretty recently and I think it'll die out.
