OK lets get real here. Nobody has actually laughed at the Big Bang Theory on TV right?

Another "The humor is too intelligent for you to understand" person.

Ok please, decode some of these brilliant jokes for me that the layman wouldn't understand. Cmon just give one example Mr Smartypants...

Just bring Danny DeVito on the show. He's a comedic genius.

Some one get in touch with Chuck Lorre or Bill Prady. One of you idiots on this board must have a 6 degrees of seperation thing going with these two writers. I need them or their bosses to know just how much they suck.

Ill even disgrace them at their own trade - comedy script writing. I dare these "pros" to step up and meet my challenge!

Or are they too busy thinking of the next funny thing for Sheldon to say on their show. Ill give you one line for free...

Sheldon walks into a party and appears nervous. Then, all of the sudden he lifts his arms and says "im here to raise the roof". HAHAHA - just watch out, the audience might not recover from that joke and miss all the other brilliance going on in the show!

You should make fun of Frasier too. Comedy that's funny because you're poor.

He would make the show a little better just with his mannerisms (read: he can act). But the script is really atrocious and not very salvageable on BBT.

I like this comedy.

watched it since 2007, but it has gone down hill


and yes some episodes are funny, and yes i do watch it. Whats so hard to believe about that? It's one of the more intelligent sitcoms on TV. You must not of gotten into it

Nah he would bust out some world class ad-lib. Also Rhea Pearlman would stomp the producer's ass if he interfered.

You love it, you know you love it, i bet you are watching it right now bitch.

i know someone who likes it. fuck knows why.

My favorite show. I watch the reruns a few times a week :)

PLease tell me you made a Sheldon Cooper screen name just to get my goat!

You didnt really have that as your name before??

If you think that character is funny, then you are boring. You may have looks or money or something and certain people in your life pretend to laugh at you, but dude, you ARE NOT a fun or funny person to be around in real life. This I can guarantee.

Suckle at my teet bitch, we are in your head and we are going nowhere.

He is a little fag!! 5'4" or something.

I'm not going to be as hardass as some others about this inane show, but really...it's not that funny. I get some find the humor, but the whole 'nerd=funny' bit is old.
The one thing I will give Sheldon's character is that he debunks the stereotypical Texan. I tried to give it a go, and this was one episode I happened to watch.



And to whomever said get out and do something...it's 21 degrees here and I'm iced in with a 2 year old tired from yesterday. Mommy has her laptop and he's playing with his LeapFrog. He doesn't want to do anything but pitch a fit. I think he's till worn out from yesterday.

only people who don't know what funny really is.

I like the show. I laugh out loud, can not think of any other show that makes me laugh. Guns, killings, adultery, Obama, blood and gore. You can have the other shows.

This is true, I was a bit premature with my dates on that show. I suppose it's only been this season. Think about it though, have you been glued to a single episode this season? I find myself walking away from it regularly now. There's only so much that show can do in my opinion, and they've done most of it. I hope they prove me wrong.

I've never gotten the fascination with futurama, then again, I can't seem to get into any animated show. It may be missed on me, but I don't understand what is so great about this show in particular.

I'll assure you though, I have impeccable taste.

If we are talking about shows that are terrible and people like them for no reason, I have to point out my anger with the show Firefly.
It's another one of those shows that geekdom has claimed to be the greatest thing ever, but if you don't happen to like it, you just aren't smart enough, or don't appreciate it.
I've seen 2/3 of the singular season, been to the message boards, and tried to actually understand what people saw, and still see in that show.
My fiancee tells me I hate on everything she holds dear, so I wanted so badly to like something she liked, but wow.
I see that show as an insult to science fiction, fans, to the writers, and basic logic as a whole. How in the Fuck, you can set a show in the future of this timeline, (obviously this one, it draws on things we had when they made it) and not have a singular new invention, a singular new idea. It's literally the year 2000 set in space. The acting was horrid, the plot were insignificant, and the entire idea of the show was cheese, and makes me angry as somewhat who reveres actual talented science fiction writers.
I could go on.. I just wanted to express that, as we had began to hate on other things in this thread. We can go back to the big bang piece of Shit now. Sorry op. Haha.

To elaborate on why I dislike all animated shows.
They all follow the same exact model. Where the protagonist(s) find themselves in some silly dillema, only to subsequently make their way out at the end of the episode. All while attempting to end in some anticlimactic stupid moral positive message for the viewer. It's not only animated shows that seem glued to this format, but they are the ones who've yet to break it. Not a single time. The punchlines are always predictable, the characters simply drawn from previous cartoon characters. I could go on with this too. But I'll stop there. I really dislike animated shows. And there's a new one every week or so. So retarded.

I guess that would have passed right over my head because I didnt know that.
I happened to come across it once ,5 min in the show I turned it off, didnt think it was funny. Like you I wondered who would

I watched the clip and didnt brake a smile also I hate the caned laughter they put in to tell people its time to laugh.

Guess all the awards the show has received means nothing? Best comedy show on t.v. It's not an opinion.

To the contrary, that's precisely what it would be.

I'm a huge comic book/superhero fan, I'm a science geek.

This show is supposed to represent people from what I regard as my culture.

I fucking HATE it.

They got the Green Lantern oath wrong, they always get these little details that comic book fanboys like me obsess over wrong and it drives me nuts.

I can't figure out if the show is laughing at people like me, is aimed at people like me or is just an attempt to cash in on the current trend of geek culture being "cool" but it fails on all fronts.

I'm not being a hipster when I say I was into all that stuff long before it became cool (truth, quiz my ass about Batman and I'll take you to school, forget the movies too).

This show annoys the crap out of me, I never found it funny.

Hey, I give you that you have your own taste. Personally, I have a lot of shit going on and I want to relax at the end of the day. I just can't get into shows like Sons of Anarchy or Breaking Bad.

I like Futurama, American Dad, and South Park. I was 14 when South Park came out, and I think it's nostalgia that keeps me coming back. Same with Futurama, actually, though I was a bit older when it premiered.

To respond to your view of the format, that follows EVERY SINGLE FORMAT OF EVERY SHOW, EVER. Something happens, the protagonist responds (usually in the 'wrong way' so as to give the episode a story-line), there is a conclusion.

There are some stories that benefit from an animated setting, and anime has made the cartoon genre acceptable with this premise. CGI was created to solve the issues that live-action movies have in suspending realism. Guillermo del Toro is a master at this, and is an example of what animation can do in the right hands.

OMG you are so totes a GLPHipster.

My Southern-Baptist grandmother (who married a Catholic and hasn't forgiven herself) is so much like Sheldon's mother it's rather scary. The fact that my crazy-ass Aunt calls herself a 'witch', homeschools her kids and teaches them about fairies, makes family gatherings all the more hysterical. That's it, though. I really do not like this show at all.

Here's the thing. No one can prove you wrong because you've already established you not only dislike the show, you veritably loath it, and can't fathom why anyone else would like it.

That means any evidence to support your theory, regardless of how absurd it is, will be embraced, and any evidence submitted that is contrary to your position will be disregarded as irrelevant.

Confirmation bias at it's best.

I happen to find the show hilarious. The interactions between characters and the jokes predicated on scientific principals are spot on. Also watching as these individuals struggle with day to day tasks do to their own social glitches, (if you will) are guffaw inducing imho.

I know, they aren't for you, but to each his or her own.

This... this right here is brilliant writing and acting. Costanza cheating on an IQ test.

Love it!
