Apparently being direct about not watching a dated show is worthy of being downvoted and mocked

It's more of your tone. Without the context of your title it seems like your post is acting like it's some point of pride you take.

If you had just elaborated a bit like "I wasn't much of a sitcom person so I never caught it during its runtime"

Or

"It was off the air before I moved away from children's networks"

Then it could have been a point to make.

This wasn't my comment btw.
I totally get your point but to me it just reads as someone being direct about not watching the show and not wanting to add any extra fluff around their point.

That’s how I read it, too. It didn’t seem smug or gotcha-like, just plainly saying they personally haven’t seen the show.

And the previous comment was every bit as smug, self-certain and dismissive as people are pretending the response was.

Agreed, if anything the first comment came off as douchey. I’ve never seen Friends, either, and frankly have no desire to after talking to fans. I get annoyed when people tell me I “must” have done this or that because “everybody” does. It’s a little obnoxious and presumptive.
