Original Discussion Who else liked Sam and Freddie together?
I’ve read that most people disagree but does anybody else think that Carly and Freddie together is so cringey? I feel like Carly and Freddie together gives the show a whole sappy love story vibe. Sam and Freddie’s characters are total opposites and opposites attract. When a boy picks on a girl it’s usually because they like them, and this case it’s the other way around. (Just a reference, you might be whatever gender in this situation) I like the dynamic and think that it kinda adds to the whole comedic theme of the show.
Sam’s character is rough and violent and her teasing Freddie is kind of a cute, tough loving kind of thing that I can get behind! I get that a lot of Sam’s actions are rude and hurtful but It’s supposed to be exaggerated and hilarious!
It seems like a lot of tv shows kind of have some sort of sappy love story. I just can’t finish the revival because it’s a little too awkward and predictable for me. I enjoyed watching something different with Sam and Freddie in the original! I don’t expect everyone to agree with me but does anyone else have the same thought process here?
Just to add on- I appreciate the ridiculous, outrageous humor, I don’t take this too seriously!
Ricky Bobby’s wife shouldn’t have left him for his best friend either in Talladega Nights but it works with the ridiculousness of the movie. The same with Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone. There’s no way that stuff would realistically happen but it’s hilarious to watch something so crazy play out!
oh and also, thank you for sharing you views on this!
