I'm so glad you were able to put my feelings into words. "everything is ahead of them but also their future is nothing." I try to take advantage of my youth and opportunities but the anxiety about global warming and a massive shift in the status quo in the back of my mind taints that idea. I grew up during the Great Recession and had never been able to shake the feeling that the world had some huge party before I was born and now winding down.

I had this weird, mostly subconscious feeling as a kid that I was living in an era that was no longer progressing towards an imagined brighter future, and was instead in the middle of a long and slow decline. Once I left high school and my personal possibilities started expanding in university and beyond, that subconscious feeling went away and I started focusing more on what I could do in the future. I was also encouraged by the elections of liberal leaders in a bunch of countries who talked the talk and seemed to want to advance the positive progress of history. A few years later, after multiple personal problems, disappointment with liberal leaders, a lot of political education, and the start of the "right wing populist" wave with Brexit, trump, Duterte, Bolsonaro, Duda and Orban, that feeling of deep societal decline came back with a vengeance. But this time it wasn't a response to the pervasive cultural pessimism of the 90s that I subconsciously picked up as a kid, it was a much deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of the very real decline we're living in.

a new renegade cut? my day just got brighter and more depressing at the same time! seriously though, your videos cut right to the heart of modern issues

I have clearly been sleeping under a rock (i.e. I'm not on Twitter) so I never knew this even existed. That being said, @RenegadeCut's barely suppressed laughter while describing the scenes from this show warmed my heart. Nice to know that in the midst of all the heavy stuff covered, this brings him such joy.

Ha. The choking one rings a bell. A couple years back I started having nightly panic attacks *so visceral*, I was convinced that every one was “the heart attack that would kill me.” One of the most terrifying nights, I decided to go to the ER for answers…and to just not be alone. Before leaving the apartment, I made the bed, tidied up, and did my makeup because I was genuinely concerned people would consider me a slob…after I (inevitably) died. Even then I *knew* it was a comically/tragically out of place priority, but Shame, insecurity, and self-loathing were master over every aspect of my self. Sending encouragement and hope to anyone struggling. There IS After: 4+years (and a lot of intentional investment in mental and physical healing) later, and I consider myself escaped from Hell.

The bones are their money, because not even in death can we as a society escape the obsessive pursuit of wealth.

Wow, this is PERFECT timing considering the new season’s trailer just dropped.

The "Why are you bullying me?!" Instagram sketch is also one of my favourites. I'm looking forward to the second season!

My wife and I really like the 'nacho sketch' as well because it, along with a few others, highlight the lengths some dudes will go with gaslighting in order to maintain some meaningless sense of... whatever it is that toxic masculinity gives them.

I’ve seen a couple sketches from this show and just never got around to watching it, you’ve convinced me to check it out

The opening sketch is the perfect apotheosis of the show: largely a series of banal but ultimately innocuous social faux pas’ that anyone has experienced a handful of times (e.g. pushing a “pull” door in front of someone you’re trying to impress) taken to the edge of discomfort (embarrassing yourself by pushing the door again), and then taken ANOTHER step further until the mistake is irredeemable and you have no choice but to LEAN INTO your foolishness and implicate others with you so that they can share in your personal momentary hell (breaking the entire doorframe while making unbroken eye contact with your peer)

I’m old gen x. But I get that. I worry about my kids. I worry about my old age. Anxiety is normal when the world is falling apart. And sometimes it feels like all we can do is laugh about it.

I am certain, without a doubt, that I am absolutely unable to watch that show without leaving the room, changing channels or watching something else on my phone every few minutes. My second hand embarrassment would just be way too high, in a bad way.

Well I'll have to ask for the receipt back to prove they actually like it! But what if they manage to steal it back... Then id just HAVE to eat the receipt before they can grab it back!" etc.

And now I've figured out why live-action 'comedy' isn't funny to me, it all relies on intense anxiety and I will always empathise long before I realize it's supposed to be funny.

"There are too many skits about skeletons" Okay you lost me here.
