They have a professor from Cal Tech that checks all the science on the white board in Sheldon's apartment and in any jokes for accuracy. They even have members from CalTech, including students in the audience at times. They did the first episodes.

I think The Big Bang Theory is somewhere in between a Jeff Dunham act and the R. Budd Dwyer public suicide clip.

You don't have to know the words to get the joke. 9 times out of 10, that is the joke. The fact that they're using big words and talking like nerds.

Many of the jokes aren't jokes at all; they are simply references to nerd culture or science dressed up in sentence structure & syntax that makes it come across like a joke - basically only finding a more clever way of saying "have you heard of ComicCon?" *cue laugh track* "Do you, audience, know what polymer is?" *cue laugh track*
I really don't even see the show as a punchline machine. The 'humor,' or more accurately jovial tone, comes more from the interplay of a set of defined personalities. An eye roll from one character or a fussy harrumph from another generates more amusement than a wicked one-liner.

Oh stop! You don't find a physicist trying to develop an algorithm for making friends funny? That's hilarious. It's not that he's just an academic he's just anal retentive as well.

Joey played the dumb Italian in Friends whcih was a stereotype and I still found that funny.

They could have Neil Degrasse Tyson, Stephen Hawking, and Carl Sagan's ghost checking every second of it and it'd still be about as funny as an Al Qaeda snuff film.

The T.V. universe was in a ****ed up state,
Then 7 years ago The Big Bang Theory was created...Great!!!
Lost began to cool,
Charlie Sheen began to drool,
Breaking Bad was ****ing cool,
We watched The Wire (We watched The Walking Dead).
NCIS, Criminal Minds, Mike and Molly
Unraveling the mystery,
That all started with The Big Bang Theory.

I find this show really funny. Of course, I knew these people/nerds while in college. Penny was named Christy, but the same thing.

Yeah, with that particular show, it's not really surprising that an audio cut without a laugh track isn't as funny as being able to see the visual.

It's true that the earlier seasons were much better. Like any tv show, after several seasons the writing is getting stale.

I would recommend going back and watching some of the first 3 or 4 seasons of it, but the ones of you who can't understand it now wouldn't be able to understand those either.

And yes, you just don't understand it.

BucEyedPea 08-04-2014 02:09 PM
Does anyone here take issue with Penny playing the dumb blonde stereotype?

petegz28 08-04-2014 02:09 PM
Usually those few I run into that don't like the show, don't like it for a few reasons:

1. They don't get the jokes
2. It's not stereo-typed, profanity, soft-core porn laced innuendo in every other sentence
3. It's not about pot smoking, all night drink binging and how many people can I **** in 1 evening
4. Ain't no baby momma's or daddy's

Well, obviously, that's just your own personal preference. It has very high ratings for reason. It's well liked and popular.
