We are sliding rapidly into Idiocracy.

Buddy, we are already there. “Ow, my balls!” Would be high-brow tv these days.

    "Ow, my balls!" was already a thing in the 90s, on BIG time tv. It was called america's funniest videos.

    Ah, back when it was “America’s Funniest Home Videos”. Yes, they pioneered the crotch-smashing format. I’m just saying, shit like Real Housewives makes getting hit in the balls look like Masterpiece Theatre.

    The two things that just make me boggle, specifically about that, was just how filthy bob saget was (sort of like robin williams) in his comedy outside of the tv roles, and apparently how much straight up home-made porn was sent in to that show.
