Seriously it’s bad. Like I get the point is the characters are shitheads but still…

It honestly gets a lot better. It also gets a lot more sensitive to those issues, one character does end up not being straight.

Yeah, great show overall, but that episode and a few of the subsequent episodes with the trans character (played by a cis woman, of course), and nearly unwatchable for the reasons other people mention on the comments.

I can only guess that in their minds they were setting up Mac’s storyline, but it’s extremely transphobic and not cool. They have since made apologies about that episode on particular, and the show is much better in more recent seasons.

They weren’t setting anything up. It was 2006. Those were normal jokes then.

Shaming OP and being hostile is not an appropriate response to this post.

The episode literally had a trans woman (played by a cis woman) getting called a tr***y all throughout the show. Fuck off shithead.

You can honestly completely skip season 1, it really doesn’t matter. It vastly improves after that.

They’ve apologized for it because its so bad, despite being fully edgey comedy people. It really sticks out. They return to the character and its a little better, but still iffy
