Tired character of the day
 
Every day, a tired character will be discussed here. Todays tired character is what I like to call the Dad is a **** up
Every place has them. Dig down deep into your memories and see if you can see what I am getting at.
Homer Simpson, Tim Allen, Al Bundy, Ray Ramano.
These are just some of the famous **** up fathers throughout the ages. I am sure Britain has them. The guy who never does anything right. The slob the bumpkin, doesn't have it going on in the noggin, thinks hes the breadwinner but is really a buffoon. I am sick and tired of this one joke, 1 dimensional character.
What can be done about this, you ask?
For one, stop watching reruns of shows that sport the **** up father. Also, stop watching the Simpsons.

1. Maybe it's just my taste in comedy but I can't think of any British comedy shows with one of those.

2. No.

I absolutely love that Homer donut cereal! It's very good!

The Bart kind is alright, but I don't like it as much.

Nobody in their right minds finds The Simpsons enjoyable now. You are just watching the show because of the good will and fame it acquired in its hayday. Well, I think the next Tired Character of the Day is someone you are all more than familiar with: The Shrieking, Shrill, Politico. No matter what stance these guys and gals take they are made to be assinine fools. They always go, "Thats bull and you know it" "Shut up its my turn to talk" Let the man speak."
They have no respect for anyone on the show.
Then, the casters put someone who is more level headed to make the view they want to give more palatable. The Mclaughlin Group anyone? Hannity and Colmes? Hardball? I think many more people would enjoy these kinds of scream fests if they weren't scream fests. Well, I know what they damn sure aren't and that is frank and straightforward political discourse. Turn these guys off and if you know anyone who watches this kind of crap steal the remote from them right now.

Hey, I'm in my right mind.


Actually, I have enjoyed The Simpsons since it was on the Tracey Ullman Show. It is extremely clever and witty, and that's why I love it.
