    Tbh, I hate the snippets I’ve seen from the show, and because of them have never watched a full episode. If it’s on at someone else’s house, I leave.

    Which has nothing to do with the bullshit posted, I just wanted to complain about the show lol.

      The worst thing about BBT is that the prequel Young Sheldon is genuinely great, but if BBT leaves a poor taste in your mouth you’ll probably never watch it.

      Also funnily enough the YS sequel Georgie and what’s her face goes back to the BBT laugh track formula again as if they learned nothing about what made YS stand out.

      The punchline is not the nerdy thing Sheldon said, the punchline is that Sheldon said something nerdy. The target audience has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about, because half the time there is no joke and it’s random bullshit about star trek, star wars, d&d, or other shit they used to bully kids for in school.

      Sometimes there are some genuinely funny nerd jokes, but too few to redeem the show in any capacity. The laugh track every 5 seconds is also insufferable.

      Oh and they shit on Wil Wheaton a lot for playing Wesley and I respect that.

        Interesting. I was wondering why hating on him became popular. Another example of people being sheep. The best part is how people reconn it to justify their flock behavior. See also: hatred for Nickleback.

          Wil is a cool guy and doesn’t actually deserve any hate, it’s just funny because Wesley is an insufferable little fuck head and at the very least bbt understsnds that.

    When BBT came out a lot of people said I’d enjoy it, because “haha nerdy science humor haha”. I watched an episode and genuinely hated it—just more unfunny, one dimensional, Chuck Lorre dog shit.

    I think I’ve been in the presence of maybe two or three other episodes since. They were also unfunny dog shit.

    BBT, Friends, Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother. I don’t understand what people like about these shows. To each their own, I suppose.

    I’ve only seen a few bits of BBT and it was genuinely unfunny. It was literally just:

    Say a nerdy word

    Audience laughs

    Say another nerdy word

    Audience laughs

    Hot dumb girl walks in and says something dumb

    Audience laughs

    Seriously. What is this stupid shit? It’s not even the nerd thing. I love shows that make fun of nerdy characters despite being a nerd myself. One of my favourite shows is IT Crowd which seems like it has the same premise (a bunch of nerds and their non-nerd-woman babysitter) but is actually extremely funny because it has great writing that doesn’t disrespect its audience.

    And that’s the crux of it. BBT is unfunny not because it tries to make fun of nerds. It’s unfunny because it treats its audience like they’re morons!

    ITT and everywhere else: Nobody gives a shit about your personal experience with the show from the post. We don’t need 3000 comments saying “Well, I never really liked the show anyway.” You bunch of NPC acting mf’ers.
