I fucking hate that show. Also, I love your username.
Lmao thanks bro i joined this place last night after hearing about it on Reddit I decided to go for a short username and this one was available i couldn’t fucking believe it
Ahoy, welcome! 🏴
Welcome to Lemmy! Ignore the jerk in the corner.
“Available”. You could have joined any instance besides world where it was also available. This is not leddot.
Calm down brother. Accept new users
Chill
Welcome to Lemmy.
When I started reading their comment, I really thought they were going to make a joke about the word “available” to refer to your slut username lol.
That would have been way funnier.
What’s wrong with you? Get off Lemmy if this is how you’re gonna welcome new users ya parasite

Wtf is leddoy and what is it known for

That’s unfortunately a side effect of this type of UI, upvotes and downvotes inherently cultivate a hive mind mentality, making following the meta more important than critical thinking. If you make a clone of Lemmy I guarantee you it will follow the same path eventually
As a Fediverse user for probably 2 years now
Fuck you for not welcoming a new user.
OP you are welcome on Lemmy and the wide Fediverse!
What crawled up your ass dude?
world’s liberals heh
i don’t get the hate. was my comfort show for a good five years… it’s a random ass sitcom, what did people want it to be?
I hate it because it stereotypes autistic people. I’m tired of being compared to Sheldon Cooper.
they never even said he was autistic?
Yet my autistic tendencies are compared to him.
That’s not the shows fault though, is it? That’s people
Imagine we switched out the behavior. Instead of Sheldon behaving like autistic people do, we could give him the issues people with Tourette’s face. Of course he doesn’t have Tourette’s, but he shows the same involuntary tics, and him behaving like that is the butt of the joke. Would the show be at fault?
Again, you’re still the one stereotyping him as autistic, nowhere in the show does it actually say he is
deleted by creator
He’s not officially autistic because then it would be obviously wrong to laugh about his behavior - but they still gave him autistic behaviors and expect people to laugh about it! That’s honestly worse, as now it’s supposedly okay to make fun of the things autistic people struggle with.
It was just kind of boring.
It’s also not funny
People just like different things, theres nothing to “get”
If you liked it, awesome, enjoy! Let others hate it, its their own energy they are wasting. I didn’t like it either but I cant be bothered to comment about it.
I thought it had 11 seasons?
I think they did one of those replace all the characters to repeat the show and then immediately get canceled because thats never worked final (12th) seasons?
It had 10+ seasons too many
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.
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 mean it’s nerd blackface basically if I’m being only slightly hyperbolic
There’s no centuries-long systemic oppression and denigration of “nerds”, blackface is a terrible word choice.
It gets the point across and I don’t really care to come up with a substitute, you’re just ignoring it to argue semantics
Clearly you’ve never watched a 80’s-90’s movie set in a highschool
I’m gen X. I’ve seen them all. FWIW, the nerds usually emerge victorious.
What, you mean the theater nerds made themselves the hero of their own movies? Big surprise
Lol, yeah. That’s the point of the movies s/he cited, the opposite of what s/he was trying to accomplish.
What did you expect?
victorious as in lose their virginity
Found the fucking jock
I’m in my basement, with collected 80’s Robotech and Transformers toys, a 3D printer, a self-built watercooled gaming PC, a linux PC, boxes of decades of tech junk, a printed Darth Vader helmet I’m trying to finish so maybe I can go to a ‘con suited up, a backup of all of my favorite movies like Better off Dead and Princess Bride…. And I’m on Lemmy.
Yeah. Total jock.
But go ahead and make up whatever suits you.
And I’m on Lemmy.
Fucking lol.
NEEEEEEERRRRRDDDDSSSSSS
Meh, it just wasn’t funny or entertaining. That’s all.
can’t believe how underused she was in the show.
Harley is one of the funniest shows from the last decade, how the fuck was a show with her as a lead was so unfunny!!!??
The only thing worse than this show is this show with german dubbing
Cause Chuck Lorre
The whole show was only funny to people that think sitcoms are high comedy to begin with.
Mind you, anyone that enjoys them are welcome to! Humour is a very personal thing. I’m just saying that sitcom humor is not universal as a whole, and that this sitcom played to a narrow audience that heavily favors that style of comedy show. If you aren’t the sort that really grooves on that template and style, the show just won’t hit right.
It’s like how people with really dark senses of humor tend to not be prone to liking cartoon style humor.
Sitcom specific fans know what they like, and tend not to like things that aren’t similar
Oh yeah, sure. People with dark senses of humor don’t watch Rick and Morty, family guy, American dad, Archer, metalocalypse, bobs burgers, yeah. Dark senses of comedy never watch cartoon type shows. Cause none of those exist.
Edit:forgot the Simpsons, South Park, frisky dingo, aqua teen hunger force, the Xtacles…
Superjail, Mr. Pickles.
Pickles is just violent. Superjail is probably the most genuinely unhinged show I’ve ever seen.
Should we put Xavier Renegade Angel on this list? I don’t think it really qualifies as dark humor, more absurdist humor, but he eats all those babies that one episode…
I will save this post for later, thanks a lot
Check out sealab2021 if you like dark mixed with absurdist
Sealab is great! That show (and ATHF) got me into mc chris
mcchris ownz
I’m probably missing a bunch. Their post was just so absurd that it couldn’t go unrefuted.
Bojack Horseman
the Xtacles
You got my hopes up that there was a frisky dingo spinoff show…
There was… Sorta. Only a few episodes got made before the company collapsed. The jokes about rapier ape and the potential of a rapiest ape… Omfg I almost died laughing.
Good to know it’s still good. I just saw two episodes and got disappointed
Archer is the spiritual successor and is much, much better imo.
the good thing about sitcoms is that they are comforting. if you start liking the characters then you get to enjoy their lives vicariously.
my point isn’t about sitcoms, but that Kaley Cuoco is incredibly funny (Harley is so funny and nerdy). yet all she did was being the “normie blonde”. If she was given more freedom The Big Bang theory might have been actually funny.
I remember early in the run of BBT, when I had already decided the show was not for me (not helped by people comparing me to Sheldon – yay, neurodivergence), I saw Jim Parsons on the Craig Ferguson show. He picked up Craig’s TARDIS from his desk and giggled, saying “This is so cute! What is it?”
I think Kaley Cuoco would have recognized the fucking TARDIS.
Honestly, given my age at the time, she was probably my main reason for watching the show at the time. My second being the science and third the jokes.
not helped by people comparing me to Sheldon I feel your pain.
Yeah, she is way better than that show let her be. I’m not even a huge fan of hers, but she’s definitely got great comedy chops.
Yeah? What else has she shown those quality comedy chops since then? Her Harley Quinn show exists, or did, I don’t know if it’s still a thing. But nothing else she’s done has lasted more than 2 seasons.
Dude, I’m having way too shitty a week to deal with some rando being a dick.
Go somewhere else for an argument.
Sorry for your shitty week bro. 👊🏼
I will die on this hill. BBT was 6 seasons of a quality sitcom dragged out over 12. If a skilled editor went through and cut out all the filler, it would be a much better show.
Stupid hill to die on lol
Some of his shows are funnier. I don’t think he actually understands geeks, but he wanted to make a show about them and it was just a bunch of stereotypes for characters.
Regardless of how good / bad the show was, what a fuck ass meme is this. Did you crawl out of 2010?
Don’t pretend that wasn’t peak memes
Analyzing the jpeg situation: at the very least
Rude
I thought the show was alright. There’s so much hate for it on here
I can see the appeal.
To me it’s pretty accurate. But to me there’s stuff that’s played straight that isn’t funny to me because it’s just normal stuff. But I guess it’s quirky if you’re not.
Or there’s the obnoxious friends who are quirky in the show. But I’ve known people like them in real life. So they’re either a headache to be around or straight up should not be enabled.
The show gets big laughs from the audience from a character walking into a room and saying hello. No other subtext.
I enjoy it, but god damn do they need to chill out.
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.
I mean it obvious is supposed to be for geeks who can’t get a girl (me)
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
i don’t think that’s how it works omg, boobies
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.
this deal is call : wedding
I don’t get it…
The Big Bang Theory. Unfunny show that somehow went on for a decade and made a lot of money.
Unfunny and unpopular are not the same thing. A show does not stay on air for 12 seasons by being unpopular and unfunny. Producing television is expensive, and networks renew shows because they are profitable and have strong audience demand. The Big Bang Theory may have been disliked in some online circles, but commercially and mainstream-wise, it was clearly a very popular show.
CBS did not keep funding 12 seasons of a money pit out of the kindness of its heart.
Popular also doesn’t mean good. There are plenty of shows that run for years that aren’t very good, but make money. Mindless entertainment sells great, but selling isn’t quality, it’s just moving products. And low quality cheap schlock does sell.
This is basically how I see it:
You keep equating your preferences to reality. Just because you and an online circlejerk don’t like it means that you’re correct.
Depends how you define “good”. I say if a lot of people enjoy it then yes, it’s a good show. After all, entertainment is the primary purpose.
Yeah, but what’s the joke in the meme?
Woman has breasts.
Geeks like looking at breasts.
Geeks feed breasts.
Breasts feed geeks
The circle of life.
I guess, that’s not my kind of humor then…
To be fair, humour is entirely subjective.
ML user doesnt understand humor. Shocker
World user thinks confirming a prejudice they hold is humor. Shocker, I guess?
Another one lol
yes I do… haha meh.
Woman
In a follow up comic, the geeks ignore the lady, because they have waifus. No freebies.
Oh wow you guys let me back. I thought I died in this community …
have a funny short. 😪🤗
lol ❤️
