That Couple That Only Talks About TV Shows They're Into In this hilarious skit from CollegeHumor, titled "That Couple That Only Talks About TV Shows They're Into," the absurdity of couples who can only communicate through TV show references is humorously dissected. The sketch cleverly portrays a dinner party where one couple is overly engrossed in their favorite shows, referencing everything from "Scandal" to "Family Guy." The comedy kicks off with the characters discussing the fall TV lineup, mirroring how many couples might chatter about upcoming shows with the same enthusiasm one might reserve for personal announcements. This leads to awkward yet funny moments, such as when one couple claims to be "pregnant" with excitement for the new season of Family Guy rather than expecting a child. The entire skit satirizes the sometimes superficial nature of casual conversations among friends and how TV shows can dominate discussions, overshadowing personal connections.
Key Themes and Humor
- Over-the-Top References: The characters continually slip in references to popular shows, making it hard to have a normal conversation. Puns like “Biggest Loser” and nods to “Shark Tank” illustrate their comedic approach.
- Relatable Content: Many viewers can probably relate to being in social situations where TV shows are the only topic of conversation. It reflects a modern trend where television greatly influences social dynamics.
