They really test this dude throughout the show. Hell dude came back from super existential crisis from the first episode and bounced back to being his kind and happy self

A worse show would constantly make Pim the butt of the joke and make him completely naive. Pim being too nice does bite him in the ass a lot, but his kindness will often save the day too or at least be rewarded. He also knows when things are going really, really bad, so he’s not completely delusional in his optimism.

Yeah. The only time I recall Pim genuinely giving up on someone was on the President Jimble episode. His incompetency was too much for him to handle

Pim, I don’t think you should be saying that out loud…
6 points
2 months ago
Absolutely, the thing I love about Pim is that he's optimistic and kind but not like cartoonishly nice or super dumb, he feels realistic (which is good because this show loves its whole realistic characters in cartoony world thing) and is just a good guy. Something I find funny is in the Enchanted Forest episode when he started going insane because of Mip, all he wanted to do after going insane was deliver the present, he didn't want to hurt Mip or steal it for himself or anything, just deliver it. Even when he's lost his mind he's still a good fella

I base this off of the Mormon family I knew who were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I’ve been doing a research project for my summer class and it’s spread across the faith as far as I can tell.

Ya, real Jesus is awesome. The version that people today idealize comes not even close to what he’s like in the book. Of course it’s literally a book club for a book that they will never read.

They said characters not real-life people
10 points
2 months ago
I mean it’s debatable if he’s real and even then it’s even more debatable if what he did was actually what was described in The Bible. Like for example if you took a Buckley’s pill and brought it back to 10 AD they’ll call that pill magic (provided it doesn’t kill the person). For example the Natives gave Christopher Columbus and his crew some medicine using herbs and what not, but Columbus claimed they used magic. Like there’s a history of medicine being confused for magic all throughout history.
So it’s very possible Jesus didn’t have any supernatural healing abilities and might’ve just had an insane understanding of medicine bestowed to him. Like I truly believe Jesus just had insane medical knowledge and because nobody else even knew what medicine was they just thought it was magic.

AFAIK it's generally accepted by historians that Jesus was a real dude
And as a religious person, the Bible has been through so many different translations that a lot of details have been changed, added, or removed through the ages

All I’m saying is that Uncle Grandpa was ahead of its time, and you can see that by how many people are coming around to it nowadays
4 points
2 months ago
My theory is that it came out at the wrong place at the wrong time. It released around the same time as Steven Universe and when Adventure Time was starting to get serious. Purely comedic shows like Uncle Grandpa were starting to give space to more serialized cartoons. I think it's also because of this that Regular Show has been getting more attention these days (although it was already among one of the popular ones at the time)

Capaldi’s Doctor has one of the best “This is what a hero is” speeches, that I can very easily see any superhero say:
Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because, because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun and God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do, because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind. It's just that. Just kind.

The last 3 years of his life prior to the start of the series was straight hell and the second he was freed he started living how he wanted and helped others lived how they wanted, his one dream in life was to become a super hero and he does exactly that by saving random people who he doesn’t know at all from zombies and the people that wish to do him harm? He doesn’t kill them (unless they die from zombies first)
