No it's the obnoxious laugh tracks and the forced references.

This. That show is The Emperor's New Clothes of sitcom. People who don't understand what the characters are saying laugh because the laugh track says it's supposed to be funny, and people who do get what they're saying laugh because somebody said something nerdy, but if you break down the actual jokes in the show they're just not funny.

It's as if you never watched the show. Lenard only got Penny through sheer persistence, Howard was a skeevy perv before he married Bernadette, and Raj is an effeminate needy weirdo.

It's why I preferred Titus. No forced laugh tracks, the show was actually funny. BBT started off great, even if the references were wrong, but it forced itself down a line of getting worse and worse and worse.

I'm just glad Stuart found someone. He was the realest guy in the entire show.

Them getting girls is sort of unrealistic but I think what's more annoying is how they are super well-educated people with high-ranking university jobs or whatever, yet they act like total manchildren (especially Sheldon). Like they could've just gone with the "geeky interests" angle but they think their audience is stupid so they had to reinforce that with super nerdy jobs that are totally unbelievable

But thats the point, seinfields characters are not likable and the finale hammers this in.

I tend to dislike shows with unlikable characters, but I remember enjoying Seinfeld. I haven't really sat down and watched it in decades though.

The difference with the Big Bang is that I'm pretty sure the characters are supposed to be likable, it's just a poorly-written show
