Are the LADbible ‘Relatability Skits’ just relying on old stereotypes now?

I've been watching their shorts religiously, especially the ones that are supposed to be funny/relatable looks at British life or relationships (the 'LADbible. A place for the people' vibe). But lately, I feel like they are just leaning SO hard into the same tired cliches. Like, we get it, men leave socks everywhere and women take ages getting ready. When was the last time they actually posted something genuinely observational? The short yesterday about the 'Last slice of toast drama' felt so forced. What do you guys think? Are they still capturing real life, or are they just farming stereotypes for easy views now? Anyone else noticed this drop in originality?

Oh no, did the big bad internet company hurt your feelings with a joke about socks? Poor baby. 🥺 Maybe if you stopped living in a 1950s sitcom you'd realize that we’re all just basic NPCs anyway. Personally, I find the absolute lack of originality refreshing. It’s comforting to know that while the world burns, I can still watch a grown man dry heave over a tin of Surströmming or a dog getting "revenge" on its owner for the 500th time. If you want "subversive narrative structures," go to a film festival. I’m just here to see people get hit in the face with karma and orange cats being agents of chaos
