>>38384 The essence of entertainment is comedy & tragedy. The most classic comedic routine is the comedian & the straight man. It's not ahead of it's time. It's a classic trope.

>>38385 Deadpan is not the same thing as straight man.

>>38384 The only thing I find that they were ahead of their time is in their character design. At first glance they look like characters that were created in the 90s.

>>38402 Semantics. The point is it's a classic.

>>38428 So what examples of deadpan girls existed back then? Most comments on her I've seen bring up Daria, who she predates by over two decades. Also raises the question of why you think this suddenly got picked up, if it's not some quality that appeals to modern culture.

Simon, me gustan las niñas.

The brunette needs a chainsaw and a boomstick. >>38602 >So what examples of deadpan girls existed back then? There was Wednesday Adams, one of the all-time great lolis.

>>45058 Wednesday wasn't really deadpan until those 90s films, with every modern depiction of her basically copying that version. It actually kind of highlights how deadpan girls are a more modern concept seeing Wednesday's depiction change over the decades.

>>45068 who drew this 😭 i love it 🥺

>>45079 I hate deadpan wednesday, specially when they insist on making her rude. Behaved with sadistic traces is my favorite version.

>>46593 picrel's particular Wednesday had this soft incest thing going on with Pugsley where they constantly kiss each others asses (figuratively)

>>46599 And most of their pranks involved bondage, with Wednesday usually as the domineering. It was funny watching it as a child and not understanding shit.

>>38246 >And you haven't seen the Latinos, they went crazy for the cunny in a cement commercial. Which commercial?

>>46601 This is prob not on topic but thank you for reminding me of this version of Wednesday Adams. I needed to draw her <3
