What kind of a video was she watching. Also the inevitable pivot to Luann’s dateless life. As if she needs a boyfriend to have a life. Very anti-feminist if you ask me,
When this arc started I made a joke that maybe this was leading to a Luann/Jonah relationship, but it was so ridiculous, even for Luannverse to take seriously. Now I wonder. I mean where would Shannon get access to these rather “adult” oriented YouTube’s? In the olden days it was video’s or DVD’s, now it’s YouTube videos on streaming tv, or phones; which means does daddy try to monitor what his smart, curious, strong-willed daughter has access to? Or is he too busy to be aware? Luann might inquire (she is showing concern) and who knows where this might lead? Could happen. Oh Jonah playing on Luann’s kind heart to get a hot young stepmom for Shannon? Hmmmm.
Yes – Shannon is a smart little thing. Is she trying to set Luann up with Jonah? Hope not. But Luann would be a really good date for someone – and it’s time.
Brings to mind an early episode of LAW & ORDER:SVU, where Elliot had put such a block on his family computer—and his daughter Maureen’s homework was on it! Fm dealing with sex crimes 24/7, Elliot had become too overprotective of his three daughters.
Of course, Shannon, as a child, loves watching YouTube videos with that kind of old and very stupid jokes. She reminds me a lot of Brad in his old Couch potato form. Luann wants a ponytail and then she’ll give Shannon one. It will be so cute to see them both with ponytails. I think the idea of them doing each other’s hair it’s really sweet. Really a sign of deep connection between the two♡. Beside that, did they change Luann’s hair color? She’s blonde and not her usual strawberry blonde, it’s the second strip like that. Someone wake up the colorist!!!
Hoooeeeee. This is at six. Imagine what she’ll be like at sixteen. I feel bad for kids raised with no supervision, no structure, no direction, and no consequences for their actions.
Doesn’t anybody monitor what Shannon watches? Her comments, though accurate, are not what one wants to hear from a girl her age. (And, Luann, ask Toni to fix you up with some men your age. I’m sure that among her admirers there must be some with brothers, etc. that might work for you.)
Shannon is the personification of this idiot strip. Acts like a developmentally disabled toddler, is the substitute child of Brad and Toni so that they won’t have to procreate by icky sex, and the people around her react with exactly the same illogic as she does. No wonder Evans think she’s adorable.
Shannon is more entertaining today than she has ever been before. While I’m still cringing in anticipation of the inevitable other-shoe-drop, at least I reacted with amusement instead of annoyance. More of this and less of “Shannon broke something” please.
Well now they have Shannon acting like a teenager. A teenager that watches sexually suggestive shows on tv. I wish they would decide what age she is and draw her accordingly. That man action comment is inappropriate for a child that is 5 or 6. I knew they could get it more stupid and they did.
Cringe….Here’s a challenge for the day: Try to find just one hair stylist on YouTube who is actually saying things like “dude date” and “man action.” Take your time…
Geez, the Brat is more into “adult TV” than the so-called adult here! Luann needs a serious reality check, ‘cause she’s regressing rapidly! All too soon she will be an infant again….
