As in, what show do you enjoy watching that is the equivalent of eating a bunch of junk food in your underwear?
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.
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.
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?
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.
Bee and Puppycat. It’s just so bat shit insane while also being cozy and hilarious.
We often leave it on as noise now, skip to the end of most of the competitions, and routinely ask each other “who the hell is that?” on the final show where they all come back, but my wife and I have been watching US Big Brother since something like Season 3 or 4. At this point, the formulas are clear and they mostly just re-theme the existing competitions. It does seem like they may have retired “The Racist One” as one of the casting mandates; even the MAGA-coded blonde girl who almost won this past season managed not to say anything to get herself kicked out, though this season ended before the election results made racism okay again.
For shows that I enjoy unironically but can’t in good conscience recommend to anyone, my current favorite is the US remake of Ghosts. I am like a moth to flame when it comes to stupid high-concept stuff, but I bail if I don’t like it. Despite the very sitcommy gags and plots, I find the cast charming and the out-of-time twist on the usual banter is fun. But yeah, it’s still very much a zinger-based sitcom full of stock characters in some form of historical cosplay.
Finally, I giggle like a twelve year old with a fart machine through the opening segment of “Wipeout,” where the only question is how hilariously giant foam-covered machinery will clobber people. The only competitive point is who failed the least, and the edit of the episode doesn’t even pretend to frame that in any cohesive way, likely so they can rig it. I generally watch something else once they move to the next phase. I don’t give a single shit who “wins” and the rest of it is just a traditional physical competition game show with a few pratfalls.
The US Ghosts is so stupid… and so fun. I can’t get enough of Hetty and her gilded age “I’m rich and you’re not” attitude and her love of cocaine.
Wipeout is absolutely hilarious.
All of those people think they’re not going to fall down, and then they do, with great pneumatic gusto. It’s literal caveman humor, and I’m there for it as long as it’s not trying to be anything more.

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.

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.
Franklin. I may be an adult who barely remembers ever watching that cartoon, if I ever actually did, but absolutely a guilty pleasure show for me. Especially since I had a Franklin edutainment game (which I’ve found online and played within the past year for nostalgia reasons) and the official Franklin dominoes set growing up.
I just wish, even though I have all the episodes on an external hard drive to ensure I can watch them when I want, that I could watch all the episodes on yt, but Treehouse Direct (Canadian channel) decided that the first couple wouldn’t be region locked and then region locked the rest of the series.
I also wish I could find all the episodes to the 3D animated sequel(?) series Franklin and Friends because I actually really like that one as well. That one feels a lot harder to find all the episodes to, at least last time I checked. Especially when I don’t use the normal streaming services everyone else does here in the States.
Edit:
Found an “officialfranklin” channel, but I guarantee it’s a fake. Especially since they barely have any of the original Franklin show and only have season 1 of Franklin and Friends in the playlist and nothing else. Though, Wikipedia says otherwise about it being fake, I still don’t think it’s official.
Coronation Street. I spend $10 a month for a BritBox subscription to watch just that.
The (Real World/Road Rules) Challenge.
omg my wife just discovered this show and she’s totally obsessed. she was shielded by all of these type of shows growing up… so it’s blowing her mind lol
Survivor 🫣
Tripping the Rift, Lexx, and Drawn Together. First and last are animated and twisted, Lexx is just plain messed up. GF doesn’t share my humour
