As in, what show do you enjoy watching that is the equivalent of eating a bunch of junk food in your underwear?

NCIS I know it’s popular but no one I know watches it. (Old school episodes)
Lucifer. Every episode is the same and I love it.
One of our favorites. I really liked the actor that played Lucifer.
Lately it’s been the Black Clover anime.
I’m not usually an anime guy, but I loved black clover.
I binged it. Any idea when the new episodes are coming out?
Unknown.
Not really a show, per se, but
Reaction videos.
Specifically, reactions to consumable media like videos, games, or music. And it needs to be real, like, from some nobody with a webcam pointed at them in their bedroom, not that sterile reality TV tier content mill trash.
There is a dirth of really low quality trash in this genre. It has a well-earned abysmal reputation for being low effort, non-transformative, and all too often not even remotely entertaining. I’m never proud to go looking for it. Frankly I’m more embarrassed about my YouTube search history than my Gelbooru search history.
But even so, watching a recording of someone experiencing something I love for the first time… it’s like, the closest thing you can ever get to experiencing it for the first time again yourself. It’s a piss-poor substitute, but it’s a substitute. If I’m lucky, sometimes they might even give me a new perspective on something due to the unique way they perceive it. If, of course, they bother to actually give insightful commentary at all, which is itself fleetingly rare.
Processing all this trash just to chase a phantom of that feeling, I feel like it’s the YouTube version of huffing paint cans for a high or drinking antifreeze for the buzz.
Reaction videos are equivalent to the black stuff under your fingernails
I know there are some reaction channels that actively give insight on what they are reacting to and pausing and breaking things down as they watch. Scru Face Jean is one of those, and while I don’t really know much or care about rap and rap culture, he has been a great watch on his rap battle reactions.
Miraculous Ladybug. Such a dumb show, but I like it. It’s definitely a villain of the week show with a magic fix everything button.
Anything with James Spader at the moment.
Boston Legal was amazing
Shrinking on Apple TV.
Love this series.
Bluey. I know it’s meant for kids, but some episodes have had me in tatters because the writing is very good, lmao. Their writing team also makes a number of sweet and even poignant episodes. It’s worth a watch.
I’ve watched the grandpa episode where the mom is chasing them around to get him to take care of himself like 10 times and I’ve teared up about it 10 times. I’m bout to start crying in this McDonald’s just thinking about it.
“You used to swim here too”
“That was a long time ago”
“Nah, that was yesterday”
The one where Bandit yoinks Bluey back from the finish line when they are racing so she wouldn’t beat him had me laughing so hard the wife came to check on me.
I watch bluey every night. We try to limit it two episodes at a time. Poignant is the perfect word to describe it! It feels weird to cry multiple times a week lol.
It’s really funny and sweet! Episodes like the Camp made me cry a bit, though. So sweet and emotional, particularly for a children’s show. The writing can be very tender.
If nothing is on the TV, I’m putting on a random episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. By far my favorite show. The parody of just the worst people imaginable is my kind of humor.
Why is my underwear full of junk food?
Bee and Puppycat. It’s just so bat shit insane while also being cozy and hilarious.
I’ve tried to watch it twice and I feel like I just am missing something about it. May be too random for me.
It kinda has a story that you’re dropped in the middle of that’s revealed as the show goes on
Milf manor
Bitch hunter
That does sound like the kind of show one would watch in their underwear.
bar rescue…
you can find me often spouting out taffer quotes.
I thought this was going to be spam, but it’s an actual show…
I love how the title to the show makes it sound like you might be watching some low quality porn.
Those kooky alien/ufo/paranormal shows pretending to be documentaries. Ancient Aliens, Expedition X, Blind Frog Ranch, Oak Island, that sort of thing. They take themselves so seriously and yet they do the dumbest and weirdest things while “investigating”.
I wish there was a cliff notes version of these that cut out all the drama buildup parts that bookend the commercial breaks.
Along similar lines, we used to love watching Ghost Adventures (we call it Douche Adventures). We used to watch it without fail. Much less often nowadays, but we still enjoy it.
