I feel so talked down to by these. They’re even more unfunny/more quippy than the first season of Orville, and that’s saying something.
Why can’t some writers these days not just let something absurd be played straight and let the viewers laugh? Why do we need a character explaining the joke out loud? “Uh-oh, that alert isn’t part of the song! Guyss!” How to ruin a decently funny situation in one easy step.
Imagine if movies like “The Naked Gun”/“Police Squad” or “Airplane!” made the characters explain and comment on every funny moment.
It’s like someone made a Star Trek parody for Adult Swim in the mid 2000s and it somehow got left on the shelf for seventeen years before being recently discovered. That whole, take old cartoon footage and redub it was huge back then.
