10 Stupid 2013 TV Shows That Probably Made You Dumber

10. 2 Broke Girls

When the pilot of 2 Broke Girls aired in 2011, many viewers hoped that its crass nature, racist jokes and sexist comments would vanish as the series gained momentum and that it could soon rely on its plot for a stronger reception. However, two seasons later and with a third airing imminently it seems such remarks have only increased. 2 Broke Girls chronicles the lives of Max and Caroline in their get-rich-quick cupcake business idea. Despite their different upbringings, the girls somehow end up becoming friends and their cupcake venture begins but it's not without its upheavals. Although the plot isn't all bad, the jokes, laughter track and overt sexism are. For instance, take Han, the Korean owner of the diner. Almost every one of Han's lines is spoken in broken English followed by a laughter track as well as many a comment about him being Chinese. Maybe it would be funny on occasion, but every episode is a little too much, making it seem stupid and unfunny. In 2013 the show seemed to go from bad to worse, with many complaints over the constant stream of sexual innuendo. Max, played by Kat Dennings, and her quips have been the attention of such complaints, which have deemed the show "too offensive for TV." So, if you fancy a show full of sex jokes, racist comments and so much innuendo that you're searching for it even in the serious lines, then 2 Broke Girls is definitely the show for you, but you may just want to consider how much grey matter you'll be losing per episode first...
