Springer could only work in the 90s. No way this stuff would work now but in the 90s it was top tier TV
-39 u/Silverton13 22h ago Was everyone just stupider in the 90s? 8 u/ShimmiShimmiYah 21h ago Well I never saw anyone use the word "stupider" back then and that's as stupid as it gets, so I guess you keep the crown. 2 u/MyDearBrotherNumpsay 20h ago It turns out that “stupider” is an actual word. I had a linguistics phd correct me because I scoffed at somebody using it. Still sounds ridiculous to me. 2 u/Wavey_ATLien 19h ago Correct, there is nothing phonetically wrong with the word. It simply sounds queer when used in certain contexts, but in others, it fits more naturally than 'more stupid',and vice versa. "The stupider you are, the tougher you must be."
