We're Imagining 10 Modern 'Daria' Takes On Our 'Sick, Sad World'
Why deny it -- we miss "Daria" and her accompanying cynical circle terribly. However, if there's one show we need to tackle the issues of 2015...it's actually "Sick, Sad World."
From important PSAs about "rats on Ritalin" to informative exposés asking "Are fish using our oceans as their own private toilet?", nobody really spoke about the issues of the time quite like our favorite little tabloid TV installment featured on the timeless MTV program.
Though we can't know for sure what the Pulitzer-prize deserving journalists at "Sick, Sad World" would report on this year, we took some time to imagine what it might look like. Check out our very sick, very sad creations below:
Snapchat
We have a feeling Jane Lane's Snap Stories would be gorgeous and very confusing.
Girl Squads
If only Brittany had the chance to find a kindred spirit in Taylor Swift.
Drones
Oh God, think of what Principal Lee could have accomplished with an army of drones.
Fitness Trackers
Do not give Mr. Morgendorffer a way to track anything. He will not be able to handle the stress of meeting a step goal.
Hipsters
Hipsters think Daria would love them, but we all know she'd rip their adorkable culture to shreds.
Crowd-funding
Mystic Spiral would have had a very disappointing run on GoFundMe.
Tinder
Upchuck would have hacked Tinder a long, long, long time ago.
Podcasts
We actually think Jodie would have had an incredibly engaging podcast about local politics.
The App Store
Quinn + Candy Crush = Helen in debt negations.
If there's anything Daria's particular brand of one liners would have excelled at, it's Twitter.
