It’s hard to avoid being a curmudgeon when a part of my childhood culture passes on. “What do we have now?” grumps the curmudgeon. “Slice-of-life Judd Apatow bromances. Self-reflexive parodies with inside jokes like ‘Harold and Kumar’ or ‘Scary Movie’. Bobbly camera mocking of flyover America. Who violate time and space now without winking at the camera? Where are the Staypuff Marshamallowmen of yesteryear?”
