Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Buddy System' is driven by its hosts' comedic personalities, not identity politics. Characters are cast for fit and chemistry. The focus is on absurdity and friendship, with little attention paid to pushing modern ideological narratives or prioritizing identity markers over genuine storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show mostly avoids dunking on tradition, religion, or masculinity, opting for wholesome, goofy fun. While irreverent at times, it's all in the name of comedy rather than critique. There's no agenda to undermine cultural touchstones or elevate one group over another.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While not a bastion of diverse viewpoints, 'Buddy System' steers clear of crusading for one ideology. It avoids the tiresome trope of villainizing traditional perspectives and instead chooses lighthearted, accessible humor that bridges divides rather than creates them.
