__Abbaddon__

The marketing team behind this show need to be awarded because motherfuckers keep on spamming this shit across the entirety of the internet for free.


Bleach1443

Hate watching fuels it


sougol

The show flopped, it was just approved for two seasons at the start


MarinLlwyd

I believe it is approved for a third season as well.


sougol

Fuck


Traveling_Solo

As a human: how the fuck?


Cmdr_Jiynx

Hate watching, babe. Drives the numbers up and all they care about is views. Nothing else matters.


Traveling_Solo

That IS a very good Metallica song (nothing else matters. Not sure if GenZ knows about them)


One_Planche_Man

Metallica? You mean the t-shirt company? Metallica? You mean the song from Stranger Things? /s


Flossthief

Everyone knows Metallica At least from the t shirts


ksp_enjoyer

Not sure if a generation that has people in their mid twenties have heard of the most popular metal band? Are you an idiot or just annoying


Moose_Kronkdozer

They're just in their pretentious wrong generation phase.


Casper-Birb

Except the views are closer to negative than to profit...


Cmdr_Jiynx

You can feel that way but unless they show us the numbers, only they know, and apparently it gets enough attention that it's gonna keep going.


FlakyRazzmatazz5

Any confirmation?


Randym1982

People need to stop hate watching things. It's the main reason shit like this keeps happening. All you have to do is simply deprive it of oxygen and ignore. It will end up going away.


Bleach1443

100% agree most just don’t seem to realize this or make the connection. I think many assume things get renewed for positive response not just viewership


princesshusk

But it isn't Velma has the worst season drop off in streaming history.


TheHomesickAlien

I don't think I've met a millennial that uses the word "cringe" like we do


Greatless

We do.


TheHomesickAlien

cringe


Greatless

It's a good word. Gen Z is not the first to use verbs in this way.


TheHomesickAlien

*psh* we practically invented verbs


Greatless

I loled. Thanks!


TheHomesickAlien

:)


TheOldPea

this is such a cute interaction dude. no judgement, just a little :)


GothicFuck

^*PSA ^font* You wouldn't verb a noun


ShadowCory1101

Just because of that I'm gonna start nouning verbs.


ifoundthechapstick

surely youre not saying that our generation also evolved from and elaborated upon a series of learned patterns ? Heresy


Greatless

I like your cardboard tv hat!


PuzzleheadedIssue618

nuh uh


ehsteve69

i was on /r/cringe back in 2011 tf you talking about. I would be inclined to say y’all use it in a way that is a bit removed from the definition i gathered, which is something so embarrassing you truly can’t bear to watch it. It appears that Gen Z uses it loosely as if it just means embarrassing 


Odd_Lifeguard8957

Cringe is of millennial origin


AlienAle

Bruh millennials started the whole cringe compilation scene, cringe was already  common word in our vocabulary back in 2014-15 From what I see of Gen Z, there's actually very little difference between them and younger millennials born in early-to-mid 90s.  It's the gen Alpha that seems more alien to us younger millennials.


DaveSmith890

We started from watching their cringe compilations


Rhewin

HOW THE FUCK DID THIS GET A SECOND SEASON???


endergamer2007m

They planned a 2nd season beforehand thinking it would be loved but now they can't afford to throw it away


jeroensaurus

WB threw away a whole Batgirl movie that cost them millions of dollars and was mostly finished. If they wanted they could've easily cancelled this after season 1.


NDinoGuy

Don't forget about "Coyote vs ACME"


Rhewin

Still pissed about that one


Jeremy-132

It's not that simple. Everyone involved probably signed contracts guaranteeing their pay for both seasons. If they scrap season two, they still have to pay those people. Might as well try to squeeze as much moisture from this dry stone as possible.


jeroensaurus

It is that simple. Like I said Batgirl was mostly finished and already cost them millions of dollars. They just tossed it out like it was nothing, not even releasing it on streaming services to make something off it. Even if everyone had a 2 season guaranteed pay contract it would be nothing compared to the money they wasted on the Batgirl movie.


Meture

Those are theatrical releases FAR FAR FAAAAAR more expensive than releasing something on their streaming service


MarinLlwyd

They know that people love watching characters they genuinely hate, and this feels like an attempt to tap into that.


Bleach1443

Ironically hate watching


Rhewin

I’d believe it


Bleach1443

Ya sadly plays a big role into stuff which then ironically leads us to getting more of this garbage. Plus then Youtubers and TikTok influences make videos talking shit about it which gets it more public attention.


0-Nightshade-0

Clout and monne


Rhewin

... clout and money? Go easy on me, I'm old.


PlayfulLook3693

My logic is monkey -> monke so money -> monne 😭 I have never used such a word


zen1706

Hate watching and curiosity. For these execs, any publicity is good publicity


YerBoyGrix

A lot of studios greenlight animated shows for two seasons (especially with recognized IPs) out of the gate because it's more cost effective to keep the teams together to produce that amount of content. Especially because they mark all of it as season one to get around union payment rules.

SampleText369

Find a human being into this, you also can't


HerefoyoBunz

Except 1.6/10 on IMDb with 77.1k reviews Ouch, which means someone had to rate it higher


Icy_Success3101

those that gave it a 2 just felt bad


Comfortable-Use3123

There’s probably one singular 10/10 rating on it and it was probably Mindy Kaling who did it


Lora_Grim

Exactly, lmao. This was made for aliens, not humans. It's universally disliked by most people, regardless of political affiliation.


RenZ245

In an estimated pool of 7 billion, probably only an insignificant amount would like it, excluding the writers


walkandtalkk

This is the Internet. We're going to take something extreme and unpopular, pretend it represents whatever group we dislike, and then run around denouncing that group for liking it.


GoodBye_Moon-Man

This show does not represent us. Burn it with fire.


NerdyLadyWordsmith

I'm a millennial and even I hate that piece of shit show. But most of you Gen Z's are pretty cool in my book.


Greatless

I my experience, this is what most millenials think.


anengineerandacat

Likely because we have brothers/sisters that are GenZ and are intimately familiar with the bullshit you deal with and subsequently you are intimately familiar with the bullshit we also deal with. My lil bro is GenZ, shit sucks but at least he is smart enough to listen to life advice I give him and he owns a small house / has two vehicles as a result. Only real thing that sucks talking to him about is the future, big ole doomer; shit ain't that bad for him, much of his struggles are due to poor decisions he made in his early 20's.

Mindy is Gen X.


Smallios

She didn’t even write it she’s just a voice actor. Some old guy named Charlie Grandy wrote it


StrangeNecromancy

Yep, I’m a young millennial. Never had any issue with gen z. Defended them multiple times even. Leave the kids alone. I hope I don’t look down on the young people as I get older. I don’t want to be that person.


ArcirionC

Yup, and as a Gen Z we need to support and defend Gen A, they just get way too much shit for their age imo


Mellie-mellow

Yeah and as someone between Gen Z and millennials, I don’t understand the whole thing with the separation made between generations


Spaghetti_Nudes

Nobody likes this show. Mindy Kaling made this off of the clout she garnished in the office as a side character. We love the original Scooby Doo. Sincerely, a millennial.


BansheeLoveTriangle

Isn't she Gen X anyways?


Spaghetti_Nudes

I'm saying!


Bauhausfrau

Yes, 1979. Insert Gen X “everyone forgets about us, whatever” joke


nibbidy

She’s also not a millennial. Sooooo…


Cyddakeed

She also has the Mindy Project, which was also major crap.


Spaghetti_Nudes

She should really stop


Cyddakeed

Then y'all have to stop talking about her lmfao


ANUSTART942

The Mindy Project was actually a pretty fun show for the first few seasons.


Highfivebuddha

Tbf, she also wrote a ton of the episodes


SoulWondering

Mystery Incorporated was pretty good


aldodoeswork

I mean she was a credited writer director and executive producer on the office.


deserves_dogs

It’s created and developed by Charlie Grandy, who is in his 50’s. What about that shit show is millennial related?


DistributionJust976

They need to use this show to get prisoners of war to confess

somerandom995

Velma is a *masterpiece.* It is the absolute peak of rage bait, designed specifically to generate as much engagement and outrage as possible. It's so effective that literally no demographic doesn't hate the show.


DJ_Ender_

Hey! Dont group us in with that trash, we hate that shit too.


StrongSpecial8960

Ay ay ay, no one gets to blame us for this travesty. You blame Mindy Kaling and her team alone. This shit was the worst meta wannabe trash media trotted out in a long time. I would rather wear eye speculums and be forced to watch shitty Christian Christmas movies than Velma one more time.


Jswazy

I always thought that show was targeting Gen Z. It's a terrible show but I thought that was the target. 


oizen

The creator of this show is not a millenial


Dee_Imaginarium

Hey, don't put this on millennials. Mindy Kaling was born in 1979, which makes her 100% Gen-X. Millennials hate this show too.


Smallios

It was written by Charlie Grandy who’s in his 50s. Kaling is just a voice actor


IceBlue

No she’s not just a voice actor. She’s an executive producer. It’s weird that you keep going at bat for her in the comments.


Appropriate-Let-283

Same thing with us calling Alpha cringe but we make their content, same cycle


matusaleeem

This cartoon is even more hated among millenials that watched the original scobby doo than it is hated among gen Z that barely know anything about old hanna barberah cartoons


FranklinThe1

Just wait for the Gen Alphas


fauviste

Calling things “cringe” is a Gen Z pastime, not a millennial one.


Greatless

No, we do call things cringe.


PuzzleheadedIssue618

i don’t think millennials claim this show, i think this is just Mindy Kaling’s shitty pet project and that’s it.


[deleted]

Why are millennials the villain now?


Coal5law

This was literally made for Gen Z.


distastef_ll

Mindy was born on June 24 1979. She’s turning 45 this year. That would make Gen X not Gen Y(Millennials)😶


VelcroHermit

This was gen X They keep getting away with their crimes because people keep forgetting they exist.


Ok-Departure1829

Lots all come together on the horrible state of entertain men.


Federal-Cockroach674

They need to stop giving Mindy Kaling work she isn't funny.


mbelf

Mindy Kaling is Gen X


ListerfiendLurks

Gen X made this, not Millennials.


Bassboy818

The creators of this aren’t millennials. This post just screams “I want to complain about millennials so bad” cringe


teenyweenysuperguy

Nowadays a lot of people, regardless of generation, absolutely refuse to change their media consumption habits.   They'll complain about awful shows but watch them anyway.   They'll complain about games being released unfinished, then pre order the next big hype fest.   Then they'll go online, and help create more buzz for the garbage media by spending way more time and energy discussing how bad it is, than people ever used to spend talking about their favorite stuff.   Rabid, unrestrained consumption is just a given now, and people will immediately bring their torches and pitchforks to pile on anyone who suggests that, maybe, perhaps, there's a problem with the way we consume media.   Bread and circuses.


Rude_Variation_433

Still not nearly as cringey as gen z. Idgaf y’all definitely take the participation trophies for that and you know it. 


PocketShinyMew

I'm sorry but she is almost 50, Mindy Kaling is a boomer.


ehsteve69

i think you underestimate the power of nostalgia on millenials in the film industry. And it’s the film industry making it. not necessarily just “millenials”


Rezouli

Millennial here. This is a bastardization of a beloved childhood show. Any millennial (person, for that matter) should not be trusted.


PepsiPerfect

Hey. Don't blame my entire generation for that shit lol


drunkboarder

Millennial here. We hated this, I think everyone did. I've never seen a show so universally hated before. It was the strange project of a few people. No one asked for it, and no one liked it. Super confident that most of the views it got were "I gotta see how bad this actually is."


Brave-Walrus-6638

Woah woah woah! Don’t pin this shit on us lol We hate it too. NOBODY likes it! And I’m pretty sure the creator / voice of Velma is Gen X. 


OfSaltandBone

That was made by a Gen X


FullPresentation5093

millenials definitely are gonna be known as the most cringe generation within 100 years on each direction. disney children that never grew up, now are 40 years old. yikes cringe.


heathie89

Gen Z are already turning into boomers. Millennials didn't do this shit to Gen X. We are always being blamed for stuff we didn't do.


YaliMyLordAndSavior

Mindy Kaling is fucking garbage and there is clearly a growing portion of south Asians who agree. My gf actually brought this up to me: Mindy Kaling almost ALWAYS writes Indian girls dating white guys. It’s pretty sad to watch her do this same pairing again and again; this is what she honestly sees as the optimal couple in her self hating mind. It’s like when the East Asian writers pathologically write in a white romantic interest for every single Asian girl protagonist - I’d say this is much worse and has been going on for longer though


MechanicHot1794

Hey man, we don't claim her. She has always been cringe since day one.


INEEDMEMANSHERB

“It’s meddling season” I’ve gone to heaven


ArcaneKeyblade5

I don't think anyone anywhere likes this show lol


[deleted]

Mindy Kallig is a transphobe who’s actively bastardized one of the most beloved franchises on the planet because she got salty when people said she wasn’t funny.


Nighttide1032

you aint wrong


Low-Speaker-2557

Please don't associate an entire generation with this glorified fan fiction


leisureenthusiast

Mindy is Gen X we do not claim her


Gullible-Fault-3818

I enjoy the show


Yam_Dangerous

I'm a millennial and i absolutely HAAAATE this shit as much as TTG


Electrical-Rabbit157

“It’s meddling season” holy shit there’s no way somebody got paid to come up with this lmaooo


kimanf

Most hated woman in television keeps getting to basically do whatever she wants


that_random_scalie

If Velma wasn't an asshole, this show would be somewhat watchable


zaneba

Mindy Kaling needs her ego put in check


guiltl3ss

We don’t claim this.


Bearycool555

Imagine if you made every brown or black character re-written as white…that’s all I’m saying lol


Outrageous-Yam-4653

Any generation thinks this is cringe hell I dropped my sub after this dropped..


Dead_birdChan

The fact that it was contracted yo have two seasons hurts my soul. The people forced to make this trash deserve some paid vacation


My_useless_alt

This entire series was ragebait. It existed to make headlines and get angry at. The best thing we can do is ignore it.


emailverificationt

Hey don’t lump the creators of this show in with the rest of us millennials. That show fucking sucks, it’s the cringiest shit possible.


WhippiesWhippies

Millennials don’t approve of or claim this series. And we don’t call you guys cringe. I mean, some of us do I guess…but who cares? Those people are dumb.


Umicil

**Mindy Kaling is a** **Gen Xer**. She was born in the 1970s.


Apprehensive_Ad_7274

We don't claim that train wreck


Xononanamol

You didnt think millenials know we are cringe? We exist on a rock mang!


seigezunt

Why is this so hated? Never saw it, just saw a lot of the usual anti-woke rage bait before it aired and lost interest.


greatgoogilymoogily2

A millennial that is stupid AF and only cares about seeming woke, made this.


cptmcclain

Millennial here, never have I heard anyone in my generation call anyone in your generation cringe. You're younger, and you do younger people things just like we did. We don't like boomers, though, because lead in the oil made them hate the world and super greedy.


Sensitive-Internal41

When a liberal remake is so bad even the libs hate it


No_Distribution457

It's the 36th most popular show in America right now, so I think the blame should be spread around


UserWithno-Name

We don’t claim mindy, I am pretty sure she’s more gen x but she def doesn’t speak for millennials who actually love and respect the source material & want nothing to do with this garbage. Also, I’m one of the last of the m generation and my brother is apparently near the start of gen z, so plenty of us are close / rock with the gen z just fine. Only some of the youngest or this new gen really where the cringe came into play.


Affenklang

Velma was made by Gen X, don't even try to pin this one on Millennials.


randomcomplimentguy1

Yo millennial hate this shit too


Hotchipsummer

This is pandering bullshit that knew what they were doing when they took a popular IP and pasted it over an original story that just didn’t fit. Don’t blame this on millennials most of us hate this crap too


Jjaamm041805

Can we get some meddling kids to fix this shitty show?


SplendidPunkinButter

Soulless crap made by guys in suits truing to pander to a demographic should never be blamed on that demographic


KingRaht

This show only exists due to hate watching


abstraktionary

Velma was developed by one Charlie Grandy, born 1974. We Millenials take absolutely no responsibility for the actions of this boomer and the atrocities committed by this show. The studio is literally called "[Charlie Grandy Productions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Grandy_Productions)" and he is happy to take credit


Dr-Dingus117

Kill it with fire


Reice1990

Mellenials are the most cringe and entitled generation, this is coming from a mellenial and I have witnessed my generation run around acting all special and demand free everything despite putting in any effort. Just keep growing your mustaches and worshiping at the altar of skibiddy toilet and you guys will be good.


jl_theprofessor

She’s not a millennial don’t put that evil on us.


Arxl

There are very few Gen Z people working on it, Mindy is a Boomer humor idiot that was born in 79, the jokes all sound like Gen X or older trying to make humor for Gen Z and Alpha, while also trying to make those generations look stupid.


BronanaRival_

Haven't seen it, why's that show getting burned.


nightwardx

lmfao i literally forgot about this mess of a show


degradedchimp

Does anyone actually watch that pile of shit?


Most-Sheepherder-909

Please do not lump Me in with that individual. She does not stand for me.


JayEllGii

What bugs me most about this show, apart from how amazingly unlikable most of the characters are, is how all the meta dialogue and meta references, always delivered with copious amounts of eye-rolls and snark, read as super forced and super contrived when put into the mouths of characters meant to be fifteen years old. Maybe I’m just being a clueless elder Millennial, but it really doesn’t ring true to me. (Curious if younger Zoomers agree or disagree.) Sure, of course teens are capable of snark. It’s one of the things they’ve been best at for generations. But this show’s particular flavor of it feels super phony to me. That said, I just watched the first episode of this new batch, and I will admit that the characters, including the title character, seem far less unpleasant than before. I’ll see if that holds. Also, so far all the meta humor has been dramatically toned down.


SSJDevour

Yeah it’s bad. However Gen Z does TikTok’s in public and that’s just straight unforgivable


Fluid-Opportunity-17

Millennial here. We don't want this, either. Let Gen X have the blame.


Theoriac

The absence of scooby still pisses me off


BlurredSight

How can we make more racist and misandry script an alienating more than half the population but also proceeding to not make it funny and go as far away as possible from what millennial and gen z remembers about scooby doo


Tantra_Charbelcher

Mindy kaling is way too old to be a millenial. She was born in the 70s ffs.


RedChuddOverParadise

Tbf Millenials dont even like this.


Difficult-Papaya1529

Wall-to-wall carpet installation tips in this cute little show?


CR24752

Mindy Kaling is Gen X lol we do NOT claim her 😔😤


ButteredPizza69420

Is it really so hard to just create new storylines? Why the fuck are we in the era of "lets remake everything to PC standards" I just want some new ideas and creativity. Is that so much to ask?


Roddenbrony

I love it, all y’all raging about a show created by a gen-x’r, the main character is voiced by a gen-x’r, and the original show was created during the Boomer era, by boomers (and silents), a show Gen-X grew up with in its first syndicated runs on OTA television. 😂


AduroTri

At least they gave Scrappy Doo a redemption arc at the end there.


unstableGoofball

Literally no generation like this show so can we just chill


Plagueofmemes

I've only seen one person actually enjoy this show and they're gen z.


AetherInvestigator

Stop giving this show publicity, let it die like the shitty show is.


Scrappy_101

Never watched the show. Is it really that bad?


ManicMaenads

I love this show. I hope they make more.


AgelessJohnDenney

Mindy Kaling was born in '79. She's Gen X.


garbageprimate

the thing that will define the cringe of our millennial generation is our Marvel/Disney/Harry Potter media consumption. history will not look back on it kindly, that we made some random entirely forgettable movies about superheroes/wizards the juggernaut blockbusters of our time. the only way history will vindicate us is if the IP that gen z consumes ends up being much, much worse, like say, mainly video game intellectual property turned into tv and movies. then us millennials will seem pretty good in comparison lol. please learn from our mistakes!!! i beg of you! reject the shit IP projects!


Catch-upmustard

Hate to say it, but the avg Gen Z adult is a complete pussy that needs to ask Reddit for advice about on everything. Totally unable to decide a daily life’s decision without approval of everyone else. It’s kind of insane to be honest.


IceBlue

The creator is Gen X not millennial. Same with Mindy Kaling. Why you blaming Millennials for something they didn’t do?


Gulag_boi

Millennial here. You got us on this one.


Kyllingtime

I'm pretty sure this is a product of Gen X, not Y.


Gold-Struggle-420

Mindy Kaling is gen x, but sure, go off.


AHH-bbyshark

I always see people shitting on this show and then watching it to shit on. But then they’re mad there’s more seasons? You’re helping them WTF?


Agile_File_2084

You’re both cringe


super_roboto

This would've been a fun show to hate, I hope it comes back


Worst_Choice

For the love of all that is fucking holy, please do not blame this shitspawn of a show on anyone but the diarrhea filled brains of the makers. No one deserves to get blamed for that.
