Ummmm, the whole point of the show was that the people were horrible.

The show ended with them jailed after they made fun of a guy who was getting mugged.

The gang on It's Always Sunny is worse but they are obviously not people we're supposed to empathise with. It's quite a bit less obvious on Seinfeld.

Always Sunny was taking the idea of Seinfeld and dialing it up to 11.

I feel like the distinction is that on Sunny the gang is “punished” for their shitty behavior, and on Seinfeld they basically never were. (I don’t include the season finale because that was just a cop-out to give the show an ending.)

I feel like Seinfeld reveled in the naughty pleasure of schadenfreude

The show is still a very 90s show with 90s sensibilities. There is a lot of media from that time that hasn't aged well.

If 90s shows make you clutch your pearls god help you if you catch something from the 80s or 70s.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year ago

I think that 90s media may be a bit more problematic because it was more willing to have the kinds of discussions that 80s media would never had.

[-] RupeThereItIs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the "discussions" in the 90s where about normal behavior in the 70s and 80s.

Hell the 80s religious and political scene in America is what inspired A Handmaids Tail.
