BAZOOPER

I think you missed the joke.... It's more that his mother has packed up a toy from his youth and sent it to him, not that it's specifically an N64.

Also, I too don't understand this thread.

How is that a joke? A lot of people owned a N64 when they were younger. How is having it sent to them when they're older funny? The joke was literally "he got a N64."

And following that joke, he goes "We can play Mario!" or something of the sort. Which Mario? Mario Kart? Mario Party? Super Mario 64? Mario Golf? Mario Tennis? Paper Mario? There's a lot of Marios on the N64. It just illustrates that the joke is a show about nerds that understands nothing about nerds.

That's not a joke.

Also, so much of the humor revolves around characters regurgitating phrases and idioms with the most "complex" words the writers could find in the dictionary. It's awkward, forced, and yet the audience eats it up anyway.

You can do exactly the same thing to any sitcom...

If the sitcom is actually funny, with well constructed jokes and what not, it shouldn't need a laugh track to tell you when the joke is.

Nearly all sitcoms (old and new, British and American) contain laugh tracks / an audience. Even ones that are considered some of the best sitcoms in history.

I don't think you understood my post.

My point was, in a good show, the jokes, characters, and situations could stand on their own with or without a laugh track. An episode of Seinfeld could easily stand on its own if you removed the audience laughter; as demonstrated by the video I posted, the Big Bang Theory doesn't.

Three camera sitcoms do, single camera ones don't.

And a show shouldn't have to tell me when to laugh. I should be able to laugh on my own.

I'm sure I would laugh just as much at The Big Bang Theory even with the audience removed. Besides, there's no reason to hate on something just because it's popular and you happen to not like it. There's plenty of other programmes on TV that people rave about, I've tried watching them and they barely raise a smile from me. Do you see me creating threads for each of those?

If you find the writers' game of "Thesaurus Battleship" and "Geek Reference Parlay" to be entertaining, well, that's on you.

And you know, if something as funny as these "Bazinga" mutations springs from any of those other shows, sure, threads for that would be great.

Believe it or not The Big Bang Theory was not written to achieve jokes that only nerds would get, that simply wouldn't get enough views to warrant a 6 season TV series.

Besides, these bazinga 'jokes' are 4chan-worthy at best so I don't really know why I'm bothering in the first place.

Then don't masquerade as a show for "nerds" by making "nerd jokes". Write another shitty show like Two and a Half Men.

Also the "bazinga" jokes are from /tv/.

I think you misunderstand.

Nobody's upset that the show doesn't only make jokes that geeks or nerds would get. Obviously, the show is aiming for a wider audience, and that's fine. Shows can have mass appeal and still produce enjoyable, funny material. However, that's not an excuse for lazy non-jokes and tired stereotypes.

The only way big bang theory is funny without a laugh track is how it makes Sheldon look like Autismo the socially inept.

Big Bang Theory without the laugh track is just a documentary on autism.

Everything is 4chan worthy. There's no verification of anything you post. It is the most horrid website ever and it's not even funny
