What is BBT?
Big Bang Theory.
I dunno, maybe it’s the hipster nerd in me talking, but I’ve always seen it as “LUL we made a comic book funny, you laugh now nerd-boy!”
I hate sitcoms in general so I guess I’m pretty biased. It could also be that I’m sick of people telling me that I would like Big Bang Theory because “it’s my kind of humour”.
I’m kind of with on Articninja. I liked the show but it seems it quickly devolved into “let’s see how many nintendo/magic/star trek jokes we can plug into one episode to keep the nerd crowd happy”
The humor is not radically different from traditional sitcom humor, which inserts little gags and throwaway references designed to keep the laughs going. The difference is that BBT references things that I enjoy, which makes me like it more than other traditional sitcoms. I will readily admit that it isn’t terribly more sophisticated than most of what passes for television comedy these days.
It really appeals to the “WHEW I can kinda be nerdy cause it’s cool now” crowd.
I still enjoy it for a few laughs, but it’s bringing out the posers in droves.
Don’t get me wrong, it is worth a few laughs but the overall storyline is mediocre at best. I couldn’t care less about what happens next.
True nerds will post on a street fighter forum with avatars of Superman, Batman and JBL the WRESTLING GOD.
There’s a character minimum so this text is just to post this for Odin:

I really hate all of the characters. If they were real people and I was forced to hang out with them, I’d punch every single one of them in the face.
Someone made a video on YouTube where they took a clip of Sheldon, well…being Sheldon and removed the laugh track. It suddenly became a sad documentary on Asperger’s.
Contrast BBT with Community and you can see the difference in the quality of writing. I actually kind of like that show, and when it does “nerd humour” it doesn’t feel forced and is actually funny. I’ve only seen a handful of episodes of both shows, so that’s just my impression. I could be off base.
I have no idea what that means.
It’s a high five.
Huh i actually find The Community not very funny at all. I;m also pretty tired of the “Show filmed like a documentary that never wraps” style. community just felt like a rip off of The Office, where Michael was replaced by an equally annoying, clueless moron of a boss, the difference being the charm of Michael had worn off a while ago, so she had nothing going for her.
I also have not seen much of The Community tho, so i could be wrong but that was my impression after a couple of episodes. The Office 2.0.
I wouldn’t say BBT is the best thing ever written, but like Goody it is about things I actually enjoy and know a lot about, and I feel the characters at least feel somewhat real, and actually go through character growth in some form, where as most sitcoms tend to stick to the status quo is god law. They also seem to care about at least getting their nerd information right, be it Flash comic books, or quantum physics. Its at least almost always right. One of the current cast members even has a PHD in Phsyics. So the writers and show creators at least make an effort which is a lot more then you can say about almost anything else in TV.
What in the name of the 29 hells is that? might as well be the eggs of shuma gorath the way that boy is looking at it.

It’s a ginger so of course that’s what he’s eating, they just rebranded it so they could get it past the censors.
WTF? Y’all have a Crow’s Nest Pass there? What did you expect to find there? Fairy princesses and door-to-door candy salesmen? :tup:
Sheeeit, that kid looks like he’s waiting for you to go to sleep…and of course you won’t be waking up the next day.
*back on the Modnation Racers addiction issue for a minute… completely out of the blue today, I suddenly got the inspiration to make a “George Jefferson” character…then other sitcom characters started coming to mind…like perhaps a psychotic version of Dennis the Menace (in black & white graphics…based on Jay North instead of the cartoon Dennis, actually… I think that would be more interesting to me), maybe good ol’ Mr. Wilson (the Joseph Kearns version), VIKKI from Small Wonder, ALF, Gilligan, Millhouse (this would be more interesting than Bart, imo…there’s probably hundreds of Bart Simpson creations out there already). See, this is why character creation/customization is the greatest thing ever happen to games, imo… it extends the replay value to infinity since the character selection isn’t really limited by much. Ooh ooh… I must make a John Wayne Gacy too…with the clown makeup of course. I never got around to making “Beans” either…another obscure cartoon character that few people remember. Him and Porky were originally designed to be a duo, and there’s a few ancient black & white cartoons with them featured. Anyway, a game that features a strong customization/creation factor in terms of characters… at least for me, that is always going to be undeniably superior to the same game that does not have it. As much as I love Bayonetta…if there was an alternate version that allowed character creation/customization that was on par with Soul Calibur 4 or Modnation Racers (assuming all other things are the same)…I’d rather buy that version.
In other news, it has recently come to my attention that George Clooney is currently hooked up with/bangin’ Stacey Keibler. This guy has had quite a life… the fame, money and continued success over many, many years… and many years of 1 ridiculously hot piece of ass after another. The brilliant thing about him is how he’s managed to avoid marriage all this time, and apparently has no plans of ever doing that. Well played, sir… see, this is a guy that’s doing things correctly. “WINNING!”, for real. …and hell yeah I’m so jealous it’s sickening. I’d pay out a large amount of cash just for some quality grope time with Stacey’s amazing legs and ass. A few minutes (it’s unlikely I’d last beyond 3) is all I’d really need.
Damn debo put the brick down!! It ain’t gotta be an azz-whuppin, does it? Must have been a woman.
I’m tempted to photoshop some eyeballs or something in that can. I swear. a facehugger could be crawling out of there and it still wouldn’t look as creepy as that kid.

Wait. Why did they lock your xbox tag? What did they tell you?
Dude, if you do George, then you MUST do Weezy as well.
Also, thanks SRK for making me laugh on what has been a particularly crappy day. :tup:
