I heard they shaved a gorilla.

They would have won the White House if they endorsed it more.

Isn’t gallup one of those pollsters that still uses landline surveying? That’s got to skew the numbers.

Also people not being remotely politcally engaged doesn’t help much either.

“I vote democrat because the alternative are shitty and racist, but I am worried about this DEI, CRT, CBT, Trans stuff my weird uncle posted on Facebook”

Cut to the barber that’s clearly a coyote.

IIRC he only got ice cream for him and one of his daughters, when the other two kids who were also with him watching them eat ice cream. Mom calls him out on that being a bit fucked up, Dad doubles down. Reddit asks OP what the fuck is he doing.

It’s weird Bean Dad shit.

(sighs) Would.

I’ld be curious to see them revive Speedy with the less-than-flattering characters.

Every culture has a stereotype of a lazy/drunk/yokel, but there’s a proportion issue. A village of regular workin’ mice, one or two lazy slow or old mice and it’s no problem.

Apu wasn’t a problem at first, outside of him being voiced by a white dude doing Indian face, his orginal character was he was a hard working immigrant who had thinly veiled frustration for the lazy spoiled idiots he has to serve to make ends meet. Only to end it with the expected nice-ities expected of a clerk. As the series went on they leaned more into his Indian heritage, without there being any Indians on staff. They went out of their lane and the character suffered for it.

I’m not Indian though, and it’s been a while since I saw the early seasons. Grain of salt. Cutting him out of the show whole cloth sucked though, not a ton of Indian characters on TV.

Atleast Bob’s Burgers brought back Marshmallow when they decided to retool her a bit.

My mother loved the Taco Bell Chihuahua, we had like a half dozen talking plushes of him saying different things.

Was it racist? kinda probably yeah a bit, but it wasn’t hateful.

Trafficking in stereotypes at most?

What was the thought process? Nightmares.

I hope they enjoy the extra money they make off me buying Netflix for a single month every other year, when they use to get me subscribed all the time.

Seems like a stable business decision that’s absolutely not the first sign of a bubble bursting.
