It's weirdly compelling - partly because the chat participants are so enthusiastic, but mainly because once I started watching it I didn't want to risk missing the tiny chance that it might actually deliver a good joke!

The animation style is pretty delightful.

I thought they were bots?

The chat is other Twitch users. Which at this point in time should still be mostly humans.

When Bob Ross was new on Twitch, I had the same experience with the chat. An entire culture emerged in a weekend and it was so wholesome and fun.

gg, RIP Devil.

I saw the name "Seinfeld" a thousand times here and there on the web. But never looked it up.

Now I took a peek for the first time. First video that pops up is this one:

So it is something like Al Bundy? A soap opera?

If someone makes an Al Bundy version, it certainly should be called "AI Bundy".

It’s a show about nothing.

Or rather, it’s a Sitcom where they take mundane things in everyday life and obsess over them comedically.

Some people find it doesn’t withstand the test of time and if you never saw it in the 90/00s you might not really care for it.
