Men Behaving Badly1996

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Some would say 'Men Behaving Badly' is the polar opposite of woke. No forced representation, no virtue signaling, just old-school, irreverent comedy centered on the follies of average guys. Definitely not a product of modern Hollywood sensibilities.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on two immature men and their often clumsy escapades, with little emphasis on identity politics. Character flaws, rather than social issues, drive the humor. It appears to prioritize storytelling and comedic situations over ticking diversity checkboxes or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

'Men Behaving Badly' actually leans hard into traditional portrayals of masculinity, albeit in a goofy, exaggerated way. It doesn't go out of its way to critique traditional gender roles or undermine family and religion. If anything, it pokes fun at immature male behavior as part of its charm.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series largely ignores modern ideological debates and doesn't mock or villainize non-woke, traditional characters. Everyone is fair game for ridicule, and there’s genuine diversity of personality and opinion, even if most are irresponsible!
