    Orc tv? Maybe those Japanese obstacle course shows with people getting smashed and pummeled by various obstacles and opponents. Takeshi’s castle and the like.

    Ill pass on elf and gnome but probably bounce between the rest as the mood strikes

    Tiefling TV: an equal split between violent Gothic dramas and talk shows bemoaning stereotypes

    Goblin TV: think COPS, but entirely mob-justice based and as trashy as ever

      I’d say goblin TV would be mostly Jackass all day, with them trying the stunts themselves while watching

    For some reason I expect Orcs to watch a lot of sports and physical game shows. Like the old Blood Bowl videogame- Orcs playing football or rugby just makes sense. I could also see them loving theatrical wrestling and stuff like American Gladiator and Ninja Warrior.

    Dwarves would probably love wrestling, weight lifting, and sumo. The kinds of sports where having good strength and constitution helps and a lack of movement speed doesn’t hurt.

    Half-elves seem like they would be into dating shows and reality TV. Things where people have to guess if others are lying.

    Halflings get cooking shows. Maybe also gardening and home improvement.

    Tieflings watch sitcoms, standup comics, and horror movies. They also watch reality TV with the half-elves.

    Dragonborn don’t watch cable TV. They watch twitch streamers and YouTubers. Big e-sports enthusiasts too.

    Elves get baseball.

      I think this tweet is assuming W40k Orks actually. But if you add in Rugby and Ninja Warrior that about convers it yeah

      I know it’s kind of a trope, but elements of the Scottish Highland Games would be a good match here. Caber toss and stone lifting come to mind.

    I feel like the Gnomes would be watching Mythbusters and top gear over the Orcs. They’d also get how it’s made & junkyard wars.

      But each episode is a max 10 minutes worth of script stretched to an hour through excruciatingly slow acting, overuse of slow motion, annoying reaction shots, and 2-3 segments per episode where a character watches the landscape all sad-like while a song plays in its entirety.

    Orc TV as a palette cleanser between runs of Halfling TV that you’re devastated there isn’t more of that show to watch

    You accidentally turn it to the True Fae Channel. You find yourself, essentially, in the ‘Joan is Awful’ episode of Black Mirror, but instead of going to the company HQ, you cycle between genres of horror movie while an otherworldly laughter echoes behind all of your screams.

      Occasionally, you find yourself in the commercials from Supernatural’s “Changing Channels.”
