So a 40 year old woman playing a 15 year old boy… I’ve officially lost touch with what people find funny these days.
I feel like America lacks Persian people since the only Persian that I have seen so far in Hollywood is Nassim.
absolutely terrible don’t waste your time with this trash
A GREAT example of absurdist humor ! Did you like “Portlandia” ? Did you like “Documentary Now!” ? Then “Chad” is for you !
I found this entertaining. The Chad character was pretty spot on. And being a woman in her late 30’s LOL I mean when you watch the show it really draws you in and you forget thats a woman and really believe this is a 14 year old boy. Great Acting and pretty legit lol 😂😂
Watched the pilot. it’s super DUPER relatable!
Great show, and the critics and viewers agree. Maybe just not here lol. Yes, it’s stupid, that’s the humor. You either get it or you don’t. Already dubbed the 2021 sitcom of the year. ‘Chad’ is actually a 39 year old woman named Nasim Pedrad. 8/10
saw the trailer looks awful, but the reviews speak for itself
This show looks awesome. “Pen15” meets “Ramy”?
definite shades of PEN15
4/5 A GREAT example of absurdist humor ! Did you like “Portlandia” ? Did you like “Documentary Now!” ? Then “Chad” is for you !
Sadly I think much of the mainstream viewers seem to process things literally and concretely thus abstracts like absurdist humor or black comedies for example go over their heads. I’ve watched a few episodes and it definitely has it’s moments.
Rowdy 👍
You’re absolutely correct. Most of the folks downvoting this show simply cannot mentally compute ironic, hyperbolic, droll, satirical, or self-deprecating humor.
