Don't pretend that wasn't peak memes
Analyzing the jpeg situation: at the very least
Rude
i don't think that's how it works omg, boobies
People think I’m weird for not enjoying this show, and many others like it. I’ll laugh a good joke but it’s just a constant quip of bad jokes and insults with a laugh track. Friends, the office, parks and rec… I just can’t enjoy them.
laugh track
names 4 shows with no laugh track.
2 of them don’t even have a studio audience.
EDIT: Apparently they “sweetened” the live studio audience in Friends and BBT, so there’s that.
Office and Parks & Rec both famously have no laugh track.
I liked The Office, at least the earlier seasons. I do hate anything with a laugh track though. Always found them a bit creepy.
It's a genuinely awful show, I mostly watched it because Kaley Cuoco and Melissa Rauch
Live studio audience
You just listed a bunch of very different shows
The show’s creepy vibe and the creepy audience and the creepy jokes aside Penny had to work for that free food. I mean these guys were not getting anything and she’s basically an adult entertainer for these nerds the same way that a sugar baby is not a prostitute but damn it’s just food that’s low.
But Sheldon! Look at Sheldon. What about Sheldon? You don’t like Sheldon? Come on. It’s Sheldon. Like Sheldon! The laugh track compels you to like Sheldon.
So much hate for a show that was never meant to be a cinematic masterpiece of comedy? I don’t get it. It’s not supposed to be deep. I watched it for a while, it was funny in its dumb way, and then it just didn’t go anywhere so I quit watching. It was fun for a while. No need for the hate.
Edit: wow. Triggered some people who want to equate themselves to centuries-long oppressed minorities and slaves, over a TV show. Know what? Oppressed minorities will still be oppressed tomorrow, shot by cops, profiled, and live with systemic racism. You get to change the channel. Get over yourselves.
Meh, it just wasn't funny or entertaining. That's all.
A lot of people grew up being bullied, turned on a show that was supposed to appeal to them, only to be bullied again. 90% of the jokes are "hey look how fucking stupid these nerds are for liking nerd things." The remaining 10% is sexist or ignoring Penny's crippling alcoholism.
It was an attack on a culture of people, rather than the celebration of that culture it pretended to be. That's why people hate it.
The weirdest thing is it didn't seem to start out that way. I remember the first season actually having strong jokes. I specifically remember one about spherical chickens that was truely hilarious because it was a nerd joke on a prime time tv show. Then came season two, with it the show tried to become more relatable to the 'average viewer' and it was just bullying on TV.

I thought the show was alright. There's so much hate for it on here
The show was alright. What I can't understand is how this meme got so much attention. We need to raise the bar around here.
No. We need to raise the bar and lower the boners. Yes. That's it.

This is the show where simply acknowledging a character owns/owned a NES was the entire punchline of a joke.
