That's good

By the way, I do not mind mean-spirited humor in shows, but the thing is and I think this is what writers tend to get wrong is that it has to have a good payoff to where it feels warrented. If you are just doing this to a character for minor reasons let alone no reason then the humor does not work and feels like a torture porn. Which is why I think Brawl and Luck does not work in humor let alone telling a cohisive story.

Mean-spirited humor works so well in the old show Ed, Edd, Eddy, because most of the times, the Ed's are the antagonist for all their scams they do. And when they fail or go too far, then the punishment on them feels justified.
