malaroo
Kinda like the humor in this show!
TheRicM
This show is my favorite! The writing is good, I like how they refer to little tidbits from previous episodes and foreshadow future ones
AbortedWalrusFetus
What humour?
KyosBallerina
I'm more impressed that these gifs are the full quotes, not just millisecond blips.
WeAreAllStoriesInTheEnd
I used to love this show, but now, when I watch the new episodes, it just strikes me how mean theses characters are to their 'friends'
SerialKitten666
I don't think you've watched enough sitcoms. Friends, in particular, has everyone essentially eviscerating each other in most eps...
SquirtleSquad420
Don't move to the east coast then, thats all we do over here.
BlackieRed
Yeah watch the no laugh track clips and you see they are all just dicks to each other

Didn't used to be. Also Penny is slowly sliding into alcoholism fueled by cynicism. She used to be happy and bubbly.
HarryPotterGeek
You try to live next door to Sheldon and not self-medicate. :)
pinecone
Yeah, Sheldon used to be my favorite. I feel that in the beginning he was just socially inept. Now, mean.
greenf1sh
Part of having friends is having someone to make fun of and expect the same back, without the need or desire to deck them afterwards.
FelipeRios
Agreed, there's a difference between fucking with your friends and just being a dick

...uh, you know how your mom always tells you how great you are. That's not what friendship is, that's being a parent.
greenf1sh
I feel like you've missed out on part of having a great set of friends.
ImTooLazyToActuallyThinkOfAGoodName
I disagree with you. My friends and I are brutal to each other. We all expect it and accept it and it's a lot of fun
WeAreAllStoriesInTheEnd
While true, some of the things said aren't good-natured teasing, they just strike me as mean and not something I would say to my friends

In the show? Definitely.

Fun Fact: Mayim Bialik has a doctorate in nueroscience.
BlackOrchid
Fun fact, on the quiz episode Raj sujested they'd get "TV's Blossom" because she had a PHD in neuroscience, and they did...
photomomma6
She also has all of her children sleep in her bed with her and her husband. No thanks.
delaneige
Also she was on What Not to Wear, and footed her own bills... which is how I know she has that degree.

Fun Question: What the fuck is a nuero?
TheRicM
Sounds Spanish to me
BeardyMcFace
It's one of those not-oreos you find in the cookie aisle of a third-tier grocery store.
lolcaek
Science of the brain!
notoneiota
No, you're thinking of Neuroscience. Nueroscience is something entirely different.
literallymike
A typo.
OuroborosX
In an early episode of the show they talk about how the girl from Blossom is really smart. Then years later she was on their show.
chas3rd
I'm pretty sure they mentioned blossom when they needed a 4th for some trivia.. after she had appeared on the show
OuroborosX
It was really early on, years before she was on the show. It was in the first season, only a few episodes in.
Orcus424
I was hoping they were going to bring that up again. Or perhaps they were going to meet Blossom at some 90's convention.

I actually can't stand the show. Sheldon pisses me off.

If you take away the "this is what smart people do" aspect to it, and basically ignore Sheldon, it's a pretty good show.

It's not that funny. :/

That's the only problem I have with it tbh. It's dull. Also, what did the first guy say? He deleted the comment.
mantar008
The show is blackface for nerd culture. Majorily, the show doesn't embrace nerd culture for humor. It laughs at the fact nerd culture EXISTS
yexe
It isn't blackface for nerds, if it was it would be funnier.

Is The IT Crowd blackface for IT folk?! It kinda is (source, I work in IT). But you know what? Who gives a shit!
FallenTurtles

corvandus
It started out semi-intelligent, now it just makes fun of geek culture references and autistic spectrum. And thinly veiled sexual inuendo.
Writr
Tbh, I feel like it kinda insults nerd culture. And, as a nerd...I dunno. It just seems unfunny and dickish. Just my thoughts.
bobbi21
Agreed. First season had actual funny nerd type jokes. Everything since is a kind of laughing at steve urkel kinda joke.
Erries
I feel the opposite. To each their own right?
plainoldfool
Get the sand out of your fedora.
TheSixtySix
Can I just badmouth it because I think it's shit instead?
tobascodagama
Indeed.
badapparu
If you -just- thought it was shit, you'd be far more likely to just ignore its existence.
TheSixtySix
I'm afraid I simply enjoy badmouthing things I think are shit.
iwilleatyourbabies
I like you. Let's be friends and combat your assumed depression/anxiety.
TheSixtySix
You also seem agreeable. Let us take on the world by insulting crap things. 'Tis bound to be more fun than an episode of Big Bang Theory.

Not sure about that. I'd maintain that ripping into things you hate is good fun, regardless of the form said insults take.
TessHM
TIL I am actually depressed.
GutenMorgenHerrPterodactyl
The problem is I, and presumably he, would simply ignore it if it weren't brought up so often. It's even worse when self professed nerds (1)
GutenMorgenHerrPterodactyl
(2) don't recognize that the show is just mocking them. It makes nerdy references, but for the punchlines to the "jokes" it's usually like:
GutenMorgenHerrPterodactyl
(4) nerd culture, it mocks it. And I wouldn't mind so much, if it were honest about it. But it basically mocks you to your face, an then
GutenMorgenHerrPterodactyl
(5) turns around and says "oh, no, I'm not making fun of you, I'm just joking. Look, we've got Wil Wheaton, see!"
GutenMorgenHerrPterodactyl
(3) 'look how socially awkward autistic people can be' or 'look at them; they want to play D&D! What Nerds!' It doesn't celebrate
badapparu
Being a nerd means "liking a bunch of things". It has no value and no meaning otherwise. Get over yourself.
GutenMorgenHerrPterodactyl
(2) more than something to be mocked. Rather than other shows which break that mold, like Community or the IT crowd, which instead celebrate
GutenMorgenHerrPterodactyl
(5) and b) if it were honest about the fact that it's mocking nerds, and not try to play it off by bringing in people like Wil Wheaton
GutenMorgenHerrPterodactyl
(3) nerd culture, TBBT continues to mock it, but seemingly also tries to market it to nerds, by pretending they're not doing the exact same
GutenMorgenHerrPterodactyl
(4)thing that society has done for a while now. As I said, I would have much less problems with the show if a) it weren't brought up so much
GutenMorgenHerrPterodactyl
It's a bit more than that; the "bunch of things" that are associated with nerd-dom have typically been marginalized by society as nothing(1)

Oh, look. A 'fake nerd girl' joke. Gee, I wonder why people don't take 'nerd culture' seriously.

I think it pisses off nerds because the BBT cast is portrayed as too successful and social. Every single character has an above average life

I think it's because the show made Penny too much of a stereotypical "blonde" to the point to where it's so unattractive that I would (1/2)

It also has a greater degree of confidence. Confidence is key.

1/3rd or 2/6th, I'd still disappoint the hell out of her all night long

I pefer 3/9ths because 3s look like boobs. 1/3rd is fine too.
antogilbert
wouldn't 8/24ths be even better at this point?
ItsAlwaysTimeToDiddle
Isn't that an equivalent fraction?
axelasdf
Yes and no. If you ever measure tire tread, they measure in 32nds of an inch. It expresses a degree of confidence.
axelasdf
2/32nds of an inch has a window of 1/32th of an inch, while 1/16th has a confidence interval of 1/16 of an inch.
