BBT is funnier because it has a laugh track, so I know exactly when to laugh!

I have only seen a few clips of Sunny, but I will say that is the funnier show. I have to watch more then 1 ep of big bang theory and I hated every second of it.

I honestly have just seen clips of Always Sunny, but it seems funny. Big Bang Theory is overly criticized, but it's 'junk food' funny. Simple, straightforward, predictable, and comforting. It's not innovative or new, but it's a successful application of a classic formula. It really needs to end, though, as it's clear that they've run out of ideas and even the actors seem to be less interested in it nowadays.

Controversial opinion around here, though, since everyone here just yells 'canned laughter!', ignoring the fact that the setup has been used by shows across the entire board of success and quality.

it's always sunny had some very enjoyable earlier seasons, I watched until the 7th season where I just gave up on it. The characters were too far gone, flanderised to fuck. Just too boorish.

big bang is pretty ugh, especially the latter seasons. 2/3 were probably the best seasons but can't remember much.

This is such a dumb criticism, though.

There are genius shows that use laugh tracks or a live studio audience (I find Fraiser particularly clever), and there are bad shows as well. It's an artistic choice made, not to try and obscure how a joke isn't funny, but in order to emulate the stage show roots of sitcoms.

I don't particularly like that one either but isn't repulsive like TBBT.

From what I've noticed most people around here just aren't into the standard sitcom formula. Probably why BBT and Friends get so much hate. Friends though is much better than BBT.

You're such a boring characterless entity. Try getting laid once in a while and maybe you'll have friends and find out what a "joke" is. - derrate

The problem is that with or without the canned laughter, the "jokes" in BBT aren't really jokes, they're very barely observations about a nerdy person made by someone who doesn't understand "nerd culture" to begin with.

It's probably like the closest thing nerds could have to "cultural appropriation" because obviously there are shows out there that portray nerds but they do it in a fun realistic way where they're not the butt of the joke like they are in BBT.

The best description I've heard of TBBT is it's a smart show for stupid people.

The same tired sitcom tropes, the same tired sitcom plotlines, the same tired sitcom jokes - but they sometimes reference Star Wars or name a scientific principle, so a huge chunk of their audience is duped into thinking the show itself it "smart." It isn't - it's the TV equivalent of someone posting pictures of themselves wearing thick-rimmed glasses on instagram with the caption "lol so nerdy!"

"They said Atari LOL so clever" -_- That's all I can think of whenever I see that show mentioned.

"I bought a genuine NES this morning" *HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*
"Just gotta untangle the cords for the controller and we can start it up" *HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH*
"Gotta start with Mario, that's a classic. So many memories." *HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*

I don't know how you could be entertained by that -_-.

And like you said everything else about it is recycled.

I agree, and I agree. It's totally fair to not like it. That being said, it's not reason to shit on everyone that likes that formula.

The problem is that there are actually well-written and clever sitcoms that follow that format that are a million times better.

Opinions; How the fuck do they work?

Oh, that's right, you need others to validate your opinions in a collective hate-fueled circle jerk.

After all, humor is only subjective when people don't laugh at the same jokes as you, not the other way around.

I think it's pretty obvious. I thought what you said was stupid and I am responding by pointing out that I don't like you. That's pretty straightforward. Play it cool though, people don't see straight through that.
