big bang theory
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Can't think of any aside from Friends. I'm rarely exposed to a sitcom that I don't like with any sort of regularity with the exception of that one. The rest don't come to mind because they're never on.
[QUOTE="jimkabrhel"][QUOTE="Reed_Bowie"]The Big Bang Theory. I have not laughed once while watching this show. Fans of the show will always say "you don't understand it because it's too clever for you", when meanwhile, the show relies on entirely cheap gags, and nothing clever. I also hate how inarticulately it portrays "nerds". I can assure you that no one intelligent enjoys that show.themajormayor
You're quite wrong about that. I spend six years in graduate school as a chemist, so some of the scientific humor and situations make me laugh. If you think that makes me stupid, then so be it.
What scientific humor? There is really none. The jokes are built so that anyone can understand it without any knowledge about science really.I wasn't suggesting that non-scientific people don't get it, but when you have been working with lab equipment, chemicals etc, some of the jokes have a special meaning.
Most of all? The office (American) or Married with children, they both try equally as hard, and both fail equally.
I just imagine the writers in the board room;
(the office) "ITS FUNNY BECAUSE ITS A AWKWARD PAUSE, GET IT?!"
(married with children) "ITS FUNNY BECAUSE HIS SOCK ACTUALLY SMELLS THAT BAD, GET IT?"
Yes we know, similar things happen in real life, that does not mean your joke is funny, please kill yourself.
Everbody loves raymond is third (second depending on how you look at it). Only because I have actually laughed before whilst watching it.
That tall guy who plays his brother (I think) says funny stuff approximately 5% of the time, and by funny, I mean chuckle funny.
Right behind it;
How I met your mother
Fraiser
Two and a half men (only reason it was watchable was charlie sheen)
Probably a bunch more I can't stand.

I think Chemistry Cat does it a lot better.
And so on

Any of those Tyler Perry shows. I don't like black comedy.
