I've loved the show from the start, but something I've noticed lately is the use or overuse of pop-culture references in the recent episodes. Who talks like that in real life?
Literally every. Single. Conversation, no matter what its about, has someone (everyone) going out of their way to throw in a pop-culture reference, as though its suppose to remind us how quirky and clever they are? We don't need reminding!
It used to be thrown in now and then, and seemed like a fun trait for certain characters, but now its obnoxious. Now there's music, sport, or pop-culture reference made in EVERY. SINGLE. CONVERSATION, over dozens of conversations, throughout each episode. To the point where it just makes you roll your eyes.
Hate to say it, but it almost feels like the show is becoming a parody of itself. It's starting to border on being a Family Guy highlights reel of flashback references.
How about capping the "references" to 1-2 per episode, not jammed inside EVERY single conversation or dialogue on the show! No one talks like that!! Who is writing this show? Do you guys actually have friends/co-workers? Wow.
Just my two cents.
