I don’t get it Because it’s not a show for nerds, it’s a show about making fun of nerds. The characters are all contemptible caricatures of various nerd stereotypes, the laugh track is hideously overused and the jokes have the same fundamental punchline: socially atypical people are worthy of mockery.An example from season six, episode eighteen:Leonard: So now let’s bring out theoretical physicist, Dr. Sheldon Cooper.Sheldon: Hello, female children. Allow me to inspire you with a story about a great female scientist. Polish born, French educated Madame Curie. Co-discover of radioactivity. She was a hero of science until her hair fell out, her vomit and stool became full with blood and she was poisoned to death by her own discovery. With a little hard work I see no reason why that can’t also happen to any of you. Are we done? Can we go?——-That’s not a joke for scientists, fans of science, or anyone who admires Madame Curie. It’s a joke for people who hold science, women and people with Asperger’s in total contempt.Thank you. I think I understand the viewpoint a little more. I watched this show a lot with my dad, and I always sort of took it at face value, but looking back on it I’m seeing how they did it wrong. Excellent explanation on why this show sucks. Also can I just say? I like how maturely unlikelylightparadise handled learning why media critics dislike Big Bang Theory. Other Big Bang Theory fans take note.Literally the only thing I will say defending the early seasons is that I personally know the person they based Sheldon on (at the beginning) and he is…literally like that, in real life.I recall turning on the Big Bang Theory, watching for five minutes during which they insulted my gender, religion, and interests, and then turning it off forever.Juvenile arseholes who think they’re smart while saying trivial garbage sure do exist but you need to tell actual jokes with them to make a comedy, not just ‘laugh at this nerd stereotype because it’s a nerd stereotype, haha we’re geniuses’.“We’re having a Doctor Who marathon in our C-3P0 onesies and did I mention I hate being around women who use makeup?”*five solid minutes of riotous laughter, clapping*In episode 2 of season 1 (back at the start when it’s supposed to be tame and inoffensive) the plot is that the boys break into their new attractive female neighbour’s house (she just moved in, they’re basically strangers) and rearrange her stuff. At night, while she’s at home sleeping. Her anger over this lasts for about five minutes, and it’s never brought up again. -- source link
