Hypocrisy The character "Günther" in friends

[Dopeycel]

So for anyone who doesn't know, Gunther is a character who is infatuated with Rachel but never gets anywhere near romance with her. There is never any mention of any female character In friends showing any interest in Günther.

One of the show's ongoing jokes is Gunther's suffering. His suffering is not meant to be taken seriously. We are meant to care deeply about other characters but not at all about Gunther. His pain is a joke. His utter hopelessness is a joke. You are never meant to feel any sympathy for Gunther, while he watches the love of his life fall for a continuous stream of superior men.

I wonder, would it be such a warmly received joke if it was a woman? Say a fat spotty girl ran the coffee shop and was in love with Joey, and we continually see her being ignored and let down, and eventually discarded without a second thought. Would the audience be so willing to laugh at her broken self esteem?

What message is Gunther supposed to send? Because it seems a lot like the message is "only attractive guys matter". Gunther represents the average/ plain guy. And he's a joke.

Classic incel stereotype.

Gunther is presented as a happy go lucky loser

Whose inceldim doesn't bother him

Many shows have a stock incel character for comic relief - note how the show always depicts their humorous failed romantic exploits but intentionally misses out the part where they overdose on perscription meds in a dank cellar, dimly lit by the solemn glow of an outdated monitor, surrounded by a sodden wasteland of empty pizza boxes and used wank tissues.

It’s interesting what you said about how it would be received if Gunther was female. I don’t understand the double standard, but I buy into it as well. If a boy shits his pants infront the class it’s hilarious, but if a girl does it for some reason it’s sad.

I was really sad for him as a kid when my mother used to watch it.

Fucking Friends, it's one of the unfunniest shows ever. Another one is Big Bang Theory. THat's one of the reasons I never was accepted in society really, and I don't like normies - they humour is fucking abysmal. And this fucking laughtrack, that makes those shows even more unwatchable. Those shows are so unfunny, and audience is so stupid that producers have to tell people when to laugh. I know that shit like Monthy Python is not for everybody, but between MP and Friends there are so many levels of humour, yet still those fucking Friends are seen by many as one of the best comedy shows in history. Even when it's comes to sitcoms, there are so many better shows like Married with Children or Alf or shit like that

I wish there was a spin off from friends called 'Günther' where you see him rotting alone and eventually committing suicide

 

[Hoppipolla]

I guess society sees women as more fragile. Which is odd because the older I get the more it looks like that fragility is just an act and they're actually fine. Whereas guys make out they're fine even when they're not.

It's just because you are a cuck.

Friends is one of the worst jew propaganda productions ever.

Literally raised a generation of millenial sluts on that shit.

I've never watched the show and don't know who Gunther is.

wild guess here.. is Gunther a manlet and/or balding?

 

[Modus Coperandi]

And this fucking laughtrack, that makes those shows even more unwatchable.

Exactly. I've seen on youtube analize of simpsons, and how their early seasons were brilliant. Putting laughtrack would be impossible there, because jokes were multi-layered, without clear punchline. In shows with laughtrack EVERY JOKE IS THE SAME because it needs to be, because laughtrack wouldn't work.

I hate that shit and my parents love it. That's why I don't watch tv anymore.

The happy-go-lucky loser is what society wants us to be. That’s the “role” we’re supposed to be playing in the “game” of life. This is why society hates the incel movement so much: we are breaking the stereotype, we are rejecting the role that they like us in and rebelling against the system.

Good thing my parents hates things like that and thinks it's for teens. Only sitcoms they can watch are from 80's or early 90's maybe.

I can watch Twin Peaks or Sopranos with them. I'll be honest - without my family I would rope, they are really decent people.
