They still do Seinfeld quotes. Don't think I've ever seen anyone quoting Cheers though, unless one counts the odd line from its spinoff Frasier.

Always Sunny? AFAIK it is. Seinfeld only got 7 seasons IIRC, and most of the "classic" sitcoms got even less than that.
I just wanted to point out that even stuff from the 90s was still getting that treatment, even if it's more because Seinfeld reruns were a common part of the afternoon block on broadcast stations during the 2000s than because of people having seen them when they were new. In comparison Cheers was late night filler along with Married, With Children whenever I saw it show up somewhere.

Social media and fan culture have ruined comedy. It happens to just about every funny show the jokes get repeated so much, so quickly, with such intensity, the joke is burned away until it's just the signifier without the signal. Just about every genuinely funny show go through this comedy thresher, which is why I kinda respect that things like "Inside Job" didn't live long enough to see itself utterly decontextualized by keyboard dorks.
Chappelle show and Anchorman pre-date social media and we quoted them shits ALOT when it came out.
True. However I think my point is that social media platforms can allow comedy to travel at such a speed a lot of it is burned away. I too watch a shitton of Chappelle show, I never saw Anchorman but I did see "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" (for the sake of rhetoric, it's pretty much the same as Anchorman) and quoted them quite bit. However I don't recall forums flooded with punchlines or remixes of punchlines or remixes of remixes of punchlines like I do on existing social media.
Media accessbility is way different. All the things we quote now can be streamed and downloaded multiple places. 20 years ago you had to get the DVD or see it in theaters. or catch it on TV the night is aired. Nostalgia has never been more accessible, which leads to IASIP and Seinfeld quotes. Someone can see an IASIP quote and then watch the show immediately. But maybe im just fighting against the leftist tendency to be mad about everything because in the long run who gives a fuck about quotes on reddit. That doesnt make something unfunny suddenly unless youre the Commander Curmudgeon.
You know what? You right bro, who does give a fuck about quotes on Reddit? The more I think about it, that's the right way of thinking about. Who the fuck cares some Reddit normies like a pretty solid TV show? You're right. I think my prior comments about comedy and the internet are still also true, but I think "im just fighting against the leftist tendency to be mad about everything..." is spot-on. My comments probably are true, but that sentiment is probably "more" true.
Commander Curmudgeon is the leader of the salty-hater-industrial complex.
I try to ask myself two questions when i get worked up: does this really matter? and can i do anything about it right now?
In my experience the answer is usually not yes to both questions.

Same here man. I thought it was just gonna be yet another “off-brand” Rick & Morty but they really has some pretty sharp writers and good performances. The artstyle was just a little too close too Rick & Morty so I didn’t give it a shot originally but I am glad my friend kinda forced me to watch it
