DCN Live: Ted Lasso Season Premiere Rant, Ricky Gervais’ “Alley Cats” Letdown, and Why Friends Isn’t #1

From Daily Comedy News with Johnny Mac Daily Comedy News with Johnny Mac

A quickie video for the Youtube Channel. An experiment.

Johnshares quick thoughts on a few topics: they disliked the Ted Lasso season premiere, arguing the show needs more reality and that it’s unbelievable Ted—after finishing second in the Premier League—would be working part-time at a supermarket instead of coaching, doing TV, or taking another high-level job, and they also can’t buy the idea he’d return to the UK to coach a second-division women’s team. They then say “Alley Cats” was very bad despite liking Ricky Gervais, feeling it was mostly cursing and quitting a couple minutes in. Finally, they react to Ranker’s best sitcoms poll (1.3M votes, 101K people) naming Friends #1, calling it insane and arguing it wasn’t even better than Seinfeld, while also mentioning The Brady Bunch’s cultural impact and that Everybody Loves Raymond is underrated.
