So what's the appeal of this show exactly? why is adult swim renewing it for 5 more seasons after only two of them? i don't get the appeal.

One is something Chris shits out on a daily basis and does no prep for, so is entirely hit or miss.
One is scripted and worked on for months in advance.

Your understanding of zoomers seems to be based on 4chan memes. On the whole they're just as if not more degenerate than millenials, they have more high schoolers ranting about straight edge shit these days but they aren't the majority.

It's level of detail is inconsistent and eclectic, which is part of the joke. The main characters are low detail, but the side characters in half the episodes are weirdly detailed and or using weird animation techniques you don't usually see in actual tv shows.

lol son sounds like your understanding of them is based off memes. It’s hard to put into words just how much cocaine and cheeba us mill’s did. Alcohol… fuck, a million alcoholics. Smoking has also fallen off a fucking cliff. These kids are doing tiny tiny little amounts compared to druggies of the past.

My understanding is based off of where I live, but to be fair it's a beach town so it's hardly representative. Half the middle schoolers here could drink grown men under the table, weed and cigarettes are only down because they do vapes and synthetic shit instead. Not sure why cocaine usage is down.

This girl I'm seeing is 21 and all she does is smoke pre-rolls and vape. Total prude with alcohol, that's the big thing these zoomers don't do. They aren't a sober generation at all but the drinking is something they by and large don't do beyond the whack ass e-slut types.

Depends on where you go. Was attending a college in South Dakota, nothing to do out there but drink, smoke, and exercise, so half the school seemed to be down at the bars on weekends. Kind of nice really, like a step back in time.

Zoomers don't work, except zoomer girls, but zoomer (non-college educated) guys are basically a non-entity in the workforce. The girls have the money and the choices, the dudes have nothing and for that I pity them.

>>212648206
I live in Houston, so weed is easier to find here than food. Outside of the more happening downtown, you absolutely don't see a young drinking crowd beyond service girls on their off hours.

Only if you go to bars. Middle shelf liquor and domestic beer is cheaper than all but the shittiest weed. That goes double for cigarettes or anything else with nicotine.

I mean, you aren't wrong, but it's a screaming nightmare to see a relatively young guy working at a smokeshop when he is also clearly in his mid-twenties . You don't see them in anything between absolute minimum wage and degree jobs (which is all fucked up even worse than post-recession from what I've heard). Purely anecdotal, of course.

1. They need a new flagship animated series - especially one that gets enough episodes to run repeats.
2. Smiling Friends is cheap to make and will soon have a new writing team to start churning out episodes.
