Battle for "worst Trump-era cultural artifact" is intense, but I vote for this. Utterly mirthless show, Oscar-winning talent wasted on nothing, the "joke" is that Trump had a dumb idea.

I humbly submit Jon Stewart's film Irresistible because its understanding of late 2010s culture war is decades old, and the "twist" is obnoxious.

Yeah, but it was pretty funny when the Chinese moon buggy ran over the American flag.

Steve Carrell either hits home runs or strikes out completely, and his maudlin tendencies are some of the worst among major actors of any generation

I love Jordan Peele, but his Twilight Zone episode with a literal child playing President Trump might've been even worse than "Space Force"

I dropped the show after one episode. S5 For All Mankind will probably utilize the Space Force and will do a much better job portraying the organization

This show does not exist. Surely if the creators of The Office reunited with Steve Carell to make a farce of a Trump policy we would be talking about it all the time.

Fred Willards final turn was not wasted! After falling for the grandparent scam and talking to his granddaughter, "They said they were going to sell you to a brothel in Guadalajara.[beat] And that's no life for a young lady."

I will be the odd one out, I loved this show. John Malkovich was hilarious and I still want to know why Lisa Kudrow’s character went to prison. All the military branches shitting on each other was also great.

One episode was all I could do. Doesn't help that I hate Carrell, but even by his standards this was a pointless exercise. Like a bad SNL skit from the mid-90s. All involved should be ashamed. Even Malkovich, even if he really needed the money.

I watched Dr. Strangelove for the first time since college recently and it felt borderline miraculous to watch satire that stayed fresh after 60 years, whereas the Trump era gave us Sarah Cooper, Stephen Colbert fantasizing about Putin blowing Trump, and Randy Rainbow

When I first heard about this show I incorrectly assumed it was set in the distant future and thought "alright. Might work." It was disappointing when I found out that it was a present day sendup of launching the space force program. That changes everything about the show for the worst.

this is up there—but I’m still convinced the most effective way to persuade online leftists to vote Biden in November is to remind them that, if Trump gets back in power, so does Sarah Cooper
