I always see this scene and get so sad for him. That's a lot of food that he put a lot of work into and was proud of his work. Watching him try to shovel it back into the pot hurts. I know it's meant to be played off for humor, but I see next to none in that scene.
If you take away the laugh track, it is astoundingly clear that the main cast are all just evil, narcissistic sociopaths, they never do anything that doesn't benefit themselves, and they have no problem at all ruining other people's days or even lives, their metric for whether or not something was a good idea or not is entirely whether it worked out well for them...
... ironically with the exception of Kramer, who actually attempts, from time to time, to do good things for other people which will not benefit himself, he just goes about them in often dubious ways.
Always Sunny just leaned into this, and made you fully aware that the main characters are sociopaths. They literally show the progress of how they ruined the lives of the people around them. That’s why I love that show. It’s a perfect example of everything not to do in life if you want to be happy and fulfilled.
What I also like about Sunny kinda like Seinfeld is you see the progression from the beginning in the show where they're sociopathic but still kinda sensible and how overtime they just get more and more unhinged.
In Seinfled, all 4 of them eventually inadvertently kill someone.
Wasn’t that the point of the show? I remember it was renowned for being one of the first (if not the first) sitcoms where the characters were meant to be disliked.
Kinda I think. At the end they all went to jail for being selfish assholes. George was never a likable character but he was relatable because you see all your own worst parts in him (and then some)b and with Jerry and Elaine also you see that they see themselves as main characters. Kramer is actually less self-centered I think, but then he literally pinches pennies and schemes to make... Pennies
It’s why many people didn’t like the finale. At the end, they basically shove it in your face and say “Look- You’ve been laughing and empathizing with shitty people. Look at how horrible they are” and folks didn’t like the wakeup call.
Yeah, same. I think Fresh Prince also did one of those every season after the first one and I just hated them. Like I just binged that season a day ago, why show me?
I suspect in the 90s it would've been a longer time since you'd last seen the earlier seasons of a show, but even then I imagine it would've been boring if you anticipate new content but have to rewatch old shit instead.
See, this is why I can't watch shows like The Office. My sense of empathy and justice kick in hard and I just can't laugh at what's going on. Instead I'm just cringing and dying of sympathetic embarrassment, non-stop, the entire time.
Same with How I met your mother. I had numerous people around me have their behavior completely change while watching that show, including my wife. As soon as I pointed it out to my wife she also started looking for it and noticed it as well. She refuses to watch it anymore because of that. It’s a terrible terrible influence on people.
Same here .. when I first saw it I was 50% laughing and 50% heart broken. I've made big pots of food before and this is my greatest fear ... just walking around with it and dropping it all on the floor. I think of this scene every time I'm in the kitchen.
Chili is bad enough but lasagna! ... that stuff takes hours to make depending on how elaborate the recipe is. I would have felt so bad about that and in a strange way, I feel bad for you for having that moment. Hopefully, your next one was enjoyed by all.
Dropping a homemade from scratch lasagna ... this must explain why 15+ years I felt a sudden twinge in my kitchen while cooking supper - a disturbance in the culinary world. My condolences.
I still remember the one time I braved making a homemade lasagna years ago. It took all day. I would have gone on a spree had it been ruined. I'm sorry for your loss.
I have a friend who I suspect has never raised animals, tell me about the "funniest moment on broadcast tv" in excruciating detail. It was the episode of WKRP when they threw turkeys out of a helicopter and instead of flying, they dropped to their deaths. Apparently, that's really funny.
He also recounted an episode of Night Court when a couple got in trouble accidentally killing a bunch of baby chickens in a propane explosion.
If I didn't already, I would have sworn off sitcoms from that.
It was all this cringe to me. I just couldn't stand The Office, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bridget Jones films, Fleabag, IASIP...cringe humor just makes my heart hurt.
The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.
There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.
I read an interesting editorial or letter or whatever by the guy who had the idea to fortify cornmeal with niacin and pretty much overnight eradicated pellagra in the southern United States. He was humble about it, it was just a lesson in how the simplest interventions can have a huge effect.
I've seen some line cooks quit spectacularly before, and if that's what this was, then it's both not surprising and the most spectacular adios bitches I've seen.
Its looks and probably feels bad… but to be honest, this is a solvable. The main thing lost is the keyboard, and they are not terrible to replace. And your dignity may need some time , but with a little work this will all have bean in the past.
They never stopped if your instance is federated with hexbear. People block/defed because they don't like the politics but they don't realize they are missing the hot bean action
The top one is a drop vault you can see the little door, employees can deposit it without needing a code. Managers have access to this one to reconcile all the days deposits for the end of the night close.
The bottom one is long storage usually only the gm/owner has that code. The previous days cash is verified then moved into that one for holding until a bank run or money truck pickup can be arranged.
I always see this scene and get so sad for him. That's a lot of food that he put a lot of work into and was proud of his work. Watching him try to shovel it back into the pot hurts. I know it's meant to be played off for humor, but I see next to none in that scene.
That’s because you have empathy and Kevin is generally a wholesome character.
Do yourself a favor and never watch Seinfeld.

Wait really? That's the first I'm hearing of this. I used to watch a ton of Seinfeld back in the day but don't remember any deaths.
Kramer: indirectly kills Pinkis the dry cleaner and Marty Benson.
Elaine: indirectly kills Russell Dalyrmple (makes him suicidal after dating her)
George: indirectly kills Susan (cheaped out on wedding invitation envelopes) and Peterman' mom (BOSCO!)
Jerry: indirectly kills Fulton (literally makes him laugh to death) and Manya (the pony remark)
My autism knows no bounds. They actually have more deaths on their hands. I just don't have the energy to look for it.
Jerry Seinfeld making someone laugh themselves to death is rich.
Amazing! I'm gonna have to look these up on YouTube.
Even with the laugh track, they are clearly sociopaths. Which is why Always Sunny in Philadelphia is Seinfeld on crack.
I mean, the show literally ends with them all going to prison for generally being pieces of shit. They're not meant to be role models.
Wasn’t that the point of the show? I remember it was renowned for being one of the first (if not the first) sitcoms where the characters were meant to be disliked.

I hated it for being a clip show.
Yeah, same. I think Fresh Prince also did one of those every season after the first one and I just hated them. Like I just binged that season a day ago, why show me?
I suspect in the 90s it would've been a longer time since you'd last seen the earlier seasons of a show, but even then I imagine it would've been boring if you anticipate new content but have to rewatch old shit instead.
I mean yeah I wasn’t a huge fan. But my parents certainly were lol.
See, this is why I can't watch shows like The Office. My sense of empathy and justice kick in hard and I just can't laugh at what's going on. Instead I'm just cringing and dying of sympathetic embarrassment, non-stop, the entire time.
I can manage the US office but UK office passes my cringe threshold.
Me too. It is so paintful. What would dozens of people work to produce that?
Same with How I met your mother. I had numerous people around me have their behavior completely change while watching that show, including my wife. As soon as I pointed it out to my wife she also started looking for it and noticed it as well. She refuses to watch it anymore because of that. It’s a terrible terrible influence on people.

I did it with a lasagne once and it was heartbreaking.
Chili is bad enough but lasagna! ... that stuff takes hours to make depending on how elaborate the recipe is. I would have felt so bad about that and in a strange way, I feel bad for you for having that moment. Hopefully, your next one was enjoyed by all.
Cooked from scratch, took at least four hours. It was 15+ years ago and I still remember it vividly.
Dropping a homemade from scratch lasagna ... this must explain why 15+ years I felt a sudden twinge in my kitchen while cooking supper - a disturbance in the culinary world. My condolences.
Home cooks 15+ years ago in their kitchens ....

What a reddit ass response.
I came looking for this
Me too, glad I wasn't disappointed
Glad you came ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
that is what she said
I wish. They're never glad I came. :(
I cry every teim 😭
You've already spilled the beans, so tell us some juicy gossip.

Steinbeck off the top fucking rope.
They sent a fuckin poet!
Who hurt you, OP?
The beans 😥
Steinbeck man.... REALLY LOVED THOSE BEANS
I like my beans with ketchup, George.
I read an interesting editorial or letter or whatever by the guy who had the idea to fortify cornmeal with niacin and pretty much overnight eradicated pellagra in the southern United States. He was humble about it, it was just a lesson in how the simplest interventions can have a huge effect.
is this a quote from something or did you just come up with this right here on the spot? (this is great)
It's grapes of wrath by john steinbeck
I’m pretty sure it’s potatoes of the river.
Let's get to the red meat! Time to dish!
this is kind of cursed.
This is usually what I imagine when someone says 'kidney bean'
It's easy to fix. Connect another keyboard and use it to install Linux.
That's the main problem taken care of. As for the beans, IDK, maybe bring a couple of chickens into the office while the installer is copying files?
Sudo root delete beans
Slippin on nuts?
Slipnutz?
Where did the nacho cheese come from?
It's not part of the spill
That's just your keyboard cheese?
🙄👉👈
You're only beginning to ask the right questions. Look deeper.
The keyboard and cheese seems to be of the fake vomit/fake dog poo variety.
I too am curious
Why were the beans even in the office?
I've seen some line cooks quit spectacularly before, and if that's what this was, then it's both not surprising and the most spectacular adios bitches I've seen.
I'm glad somebody else was wondering that!
Are you going to eat all of those spilled beans without spilled nacho cheese? What is wrong with you?
WE FOUND THE LEAK IN OUR ORGANIZATION!!!!
They spilled the beans
Its looks and probably feels bad… but to be honest, this is a solvable. The main thing lost is the keyboard, and they are not terrible to replace. And your dignity may need some time , but with a little work this will all have bean in the past.
Words can't describe how happy I am that this is not my problem.
The beans stay in the safe, everyone knows this.
How do I delete someone else's post?
One day ill learn not to scroll during work hours
I think I've cracked the case, guise!
You best believe I won’t be telling you any secrets anytime soon
The real sad part is the lack of leg room under the desk. I can't imagine sitting all cramped all day.
This looks like the manager's office at a Taco Bell. I don't think anyone is sitting there all day.
at home i only eat in the kitchen. at work I never eat at my desk
My boss is gonna be so mad at me 😖
I’m mad at you all for using the wrong colour sauce with your baked beans.
Send him or her some bean memes first to soften the mood?
If I was your boss, I'd be more angry that you have the calendar set to September!
We are in for a week of bean memes
BEE MEMES?
They never stopped if your instance is federated with hexbear. People block/defed because they don't like the politics but they don't realize they are missing the hot bean action
Yeah. I block authoritarians on sight because fuck that shit. So hexbear was gone within a month of joining lemmy.
FYI: Feeding your computer the beans isn't how you get your bean posts on Lemmy.
You have to drown your phone in them for that.
Not with that attitude.
Get them back in the safe right fucking now.
BEANS
BEANS
This is a distressing image
I've bean there before
I think I spotted the issue here: your computer is running win 11
What is the office doing in the kitchen?
This has not bean your best day
Oh, are we posting beans now? Again?
Here's my contribution:
This was going to be my contribution, but are they beans or peas? OH MY GOD I DON'T KNOW!
Garbanzo beans = chickpeas
You are not helping!
I'm gonna be "that guy" and say they're pulses.
This guy never stopped. He's true blue.
I don't know why but something tells me I can't trusty this person.
Why won't u let me cup ur beans 🤲 🥺
IT’S BEAN TIME!!
Back to beans!
I won't tell if you won't
But even if I do tell someone, I'll make them promise not to tell. Watertight baby
telling anyone would be a red line.
Too late, the beans has been spilled
Those beans were promised that desk in the beans holy book.
BEANS
And here I thought the bean meme drought would last for yet another fortnight.
RIP.
Bean nice knowing you
How's Randy supposed to send out the nightly email now?
I cannot fathom why you would have so many beans in the office. And queso cheese???
Are you saying you don't?
Bean-master level unlocked!
I see a chic fila box. Don't worry about getting fired, you will get a better job
Did you also post this on Reddit or just take it from /r/kitchenConfidential ?
At least the safe did it's job
What would you need 2 vaults for?
The top one is a drop vault you can see the little door, employees can deposit it without needing a code. Managers have access to this one to reconcile all the days deposits for the end of the night close.
The bottom one is long storage usually only the gm/owner has that code. The previous days cash is verified then moved into that one for holding until a bank run or money truck pickup can be arranged.
Standard restaurant set up.
That's really smart. Thank you for the explanation!
One for each of the bowls if beans
In case you want to use it more than once.
Vault 31 is for people in cryo-sleep. Duh.
I prefer vault 11. Human sacrifice ftw
oh no, not the beans!
You still have your nightly walkthrough, nightly email, and a bunch of stickers to look forward to.
That's not how you do "Netbeans"! Also Java bad!
I've never bean so disappointed. 😔
I'm surprised I didn't see Cars 2 on your computer screen.
This gentleman is eating beans
Your friends meant, that you should tell them your secret. They didn't mean it literally...
Why are there that many beans and a Chick-fil-A box of some sort near a computer? I'm so confused lol
I understand the baked beans and the tragedy that befell the beans and the chef. But what the hell is the yellow on the keyboard.
Looks like queso, so maybe this was at a Chipotle or Qdoba.
Post-digested baked beans?
Kevin’s famous chili?
Come on guys, the beans go in the safe
I know this won't help but for what it's worth those look delicious.
Are those the motherboards?
This is beans! This is food!
Damn, that computer is hungry!
KFC or smth?
What did you do Kevin?
Whoever is responsible should not be trusted with any sensing information.
NSFMR
Whoever did this is the king of the
This nibbler eating beans.
Is there some context i am missing?
They spilled the beans
I was hoping it could have bean a better joke.
