My family loved it. We used to gather round for the reruns back in like 1998.
I'm from an ex USSR country though, we didn't know any better.
The ending to Alf is majorly depressing by the way.

>>211538540 (OP)
whats not to like?

>>211538540 (OP)
Watch a couple of episodes and you will see how unapologetic the humor is. There were no safe spaces in Alf.

You guys hate Alf?

>>211538540 (OP)
not everyone had cable. You try living on 4 channel on air 20 hours a day. What are you gonna do? Read a book. Willie? HA!

>>211538540 (OP)
Yo!

why did he have to eat cats?
I'd rather watch that show with the bigfoot

I love Alf so much I watch it in different languages since Shout Factory streams it for free
It starts to lose it's fun when Alf starts showing himself to people outside of the family and no one seems to mind there's a furry midget creature cracking wise in front of them.

I like Alf

We were robbed a kino final season when it just ended like this

You got the movie but even that fucked up a good ending

Did he ever fucking eat the cat?

Reminder that on Melmac, the mating ritual involved making a high pitched noise that basically acted like a date rape drug
Also alf said the niggerword on a blooper reel

WHOOP WHOOP
oh boy

>>211538540 (OP)
Still better than El Chavo del 8. At least ALF isn't full of toxicity and child violence

>>211538540 (OP)
He's back

>>211541022
At least El Chavo didn't have a crackhead faggot as the dad.

>>211539059
Cable back then was t even that great anyway.

>>211538756
there's a lot of psychopaths on this site

>>211541022
You must be so fun at parties

>>211542383
I do laugh at Chavo because it has some funny comedy, but it's still a toxic show about assholes being assholes with each other

>>211539059
>you try living on 4channel 20 hours a day

>>211538540 (OP)
More like Gen X

But it should be noted that what made ALF work was that it was part of a wave of transgressive comedies that bucked the cliched Stepford sitcom cliches ala Married With Children and Rosesand

Everyone over 30 is a boomer. Sorry I don’t make the rules.

>>211538540 (OP)
The fuck is wrong with Alf? Fuck you
>>211540186
Cancelled for Fresh Prince. The only time Will Smith was actually the one doing the cucking.

>>211541798
The guy who played Willie Tanner was such a massive faggot that thought he was a big deal. I enjoy the fact that he was never relevant again after the show ended.

>>211543097
Zoomers are pushing 30 now

>>211538540 (OP)
One of my favorite scenes
>ALF: That's it. I say we fight violence with violence. That's how we used to solve things back home.
>Willie: But ALF, don't you remember what happened to your planet?
>ALF: Well, it blew up in a nuclear holocaust. Why?
>Willie: Don't you see the connection?
>ALF: [pause] What connection?
>Willie: I give up.
Willie's delivery of "don't you see the connection" is one of the funniest things I've ever seen

>>211538540 (OP)
Decades later, it's the rude talk that still works. The women are too boring but easy on the eyes. Both dad + son actors met horrible deaths makes the midge a curse.

>assholes being asshole
So, kids.

>>211541022
is that lars ulrich?

>>211538540 (OP)
you don't like it kid?

>>211538710
Cat eating

>>211538540 (OP)
I'm a zoomer but as a kid I found the concept pretty funny, only saw the actual show a few times.

>>211543384
Holy shit I've been looking for that clip since seeing it last year. Willie's delivery absolutely killed me. It was so genuine.

Thoughts on this absolute ALFkino?

>>211540570
No. There's an episode where the cat dies, ALF tries to eat another one (onscreen), but chickens out and decides he doesn't want to eat cats anymore. That decision actually stuck throughout the rest of the series.

With CG for his body and AI for the voice they could make an awesome ALF sci-fi comedy, in the tone of Howard the Duck but way better.

>>211544337
In cartoon all stars to the rescue he gets stoned with Garfield and doesn't even eat him

>>211544703
>don't you see the connection?
What's so special about it? Nothing stands out in particular.

>>211543802
The adults were assholes too, except for Barriga

>>211544736
The problem is it's just not the right tone for Broadcast, and it's too much a sitcom for streaming.
It's stuck as a relic in an era of absurdist structural family television that was slowly picked apart by Married... With Children, the Simpsons and Seinfeld style sitcoms. By the mid-80s basically the old hippies were writing for the ex-beats so they wanted to keep the classic Norman Lear/Sherwood Schwartz style while expanding on ridiculousness (Small Wonder is another perfect example).
But then 1987 came around, NBC found some middling standup and his weird friends in a big apartment, the Fox Network started existing and the nuke that would destroy everyone hugging and the world resetting at the end of the episode was being put into the Enola Gay that was the Cable Box.
That had a bit more of an adult edge to them and felt more grounded in a relatable realism than a structural lesson learning idealism.

>>211542077
The show always felt off
Later I learned about all the tensions on set
And everything started to make sense
If you didn't pick up on it, it might be because the psychopath is you

>>211544279
Didn't care for the movie t b h

>>211544153
alf never actually ate a cat on the show
