I do not enjoy canned laughter to jokes that are not jokes. Aside from How I Met Your Mother, I can not stand any show that ever came out of CBS. If other people like it, that is fine, but to me it is just not funny.

I don't see it as Black Face for Nerds or whatever, because that is going too far, but I just don't think it is funny. I mean, there is a freaking episode of Big Bang Theory where the condescending elitist asshole character gets mad at his friend for having a nicer desk than him and that is the joke.

That's not comedy.

We recently discussed BBT and how much it is the worst show ever in the "What have you guys been watching" thread...http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... 59#p922759

I realize that comedy is subjective, but that show's success just baffles me. This article captures things pretty well: http://uproxx.com/gammasquad/2014/08/wh ... hould-you/

also a humorous but insightful video take:

So kudos to Chuck Lorre and what not, but the show and its success is pretty much a poster child for the shit taste of the American public.

It has mass global appeal too, and I like it. I didn't like it so much before they introduced the 2 extra women who added a lot of jokes I like more.

Only if you have an opinion on any subject under the moon that differs from Dsh. Otherwise, there are no judgements on this website.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
