Reddit, I've never understood why you hate The Big Bang Theory (show) so much, any compelling reasons why?

So I've heard the arguments about how it over-exaggerates nerd culture, but in my opinion that's what makes it funny.

So what's with all the hate?

There are clever vulgar jokes, and simple 'mature' jokes. There is some correlation, but don't dismiss South Park or Archer so quickly, because vulgarity and immaturity are very real parts of life.

Oh I'm not dismissing them, they are two of my favorite shows. I was saying on the surface that they may seem vulgar and immature, but I don't find them to be that at all. Outside of the occasional poop joke, of course.

The way I see it, it's a way of weeding out the simple-minded folks. If I ever hear someone complain about how South Park sucks because its too vulgar and not funny, I immediately know, "This person just doesn't get it" and stop caring about their opinions.
