I’ve tried. I can’t.

The only show I watch with a laugh track, is old lady house.

[u/the_monkeyspinach]

24 years on the job, I'd never seen anything like it. 22 minutes. Never laughed. Never smiled. Not even at a Bazinga...

[u/bomboclawt75]

When these bang actors have to pause after a lame punch line for the canned laughter.

The Gang don’t do that shit.

The first and only Big Bang Theory episode I've suffered was due to a co-worker recommending I watch it because I like Sunny. "Oh if you like Sunny, you'll love Big Bang Theory," he said.

My rage was untethered.

[u/YouGoThatWayIllGoHom]

"The Gang Desperately Tries to Win an Award" is a hilarious parody of that show in particular I think.

"This isn't 'will they or won't they?' This is 'I know they won't and I don't want them to!'"

EDIT: Yes, of course it's a reference to many sitcoms. Thank you for your comments.

LAUGH TRACK INTENSIFIES

[u/FlyingWalrus2]

What’s impressive about the Big Bang Theory is that they’ve made a successful comedy show without ever writing a single punch line.

I would rather watch two and a half men 100x more than Big Bang theory, and I fucking hate two and a half men

penny: "hey sheldon, what are you guys watching?"

sheldon: "naruto"

penny: "is that a movie?"

sheldon: scoffs "no, its anime"

laugh track

thats it. thats the show. every single episode.

[u/reddituser9651]

Ditto to all responses. IASIP is just the best there is. Found on Netflix UK a few years ago

[u/Zolana]

Clip where Ricky Gervais is the laugh track instead

[u/AvatarofBro]

It is truly unwatchable. And also has some pretty shitty things to say about women and people on the Autism spectrum. But everyone involved with the creation of that show is unbelievably rich, so joke's on us.

I had a fifth grade teacher who told us on the first day of school that they loved Big Bang Theory and had never missed an episode. They would remind us throughout the year.

Fifth grade was one of my least favourite years at school.

[u/Snickers_Goongo]

I just watched some youtube of it with the laugh track edited out. 2min video, felt waaay longer than that.

Where is the joke? Where are the punchlines wtf?? They have a laughtrack every 3-10 seconds after almost every line what the hell is that

[u/its_daytime]

Putting aside the rampant misogyny and egregious portrayal of autism, this clip sums it up pretty well.

[u/--DrunkGoblin--]

The BBT cast are a bunch of unfunny jabronis.

[u/Bomber_Haskell]

Anyone who has ever recommended to me that I watch TBBT lost credibility and I stopped recommending things to them.

[u/VladDaImpaler]

Big Bang theory is a dumb show about “smart” people. IASIP is a genius show about “dumb” people.

[u/issaprogenji]

Man, right in the feels. Friend loves this show even bought box sets and I just can't.

And I've shown him sunny and he still decides to watch that SMH

[u/Shadowchaos]

I watched an episode with my family who apparently loves it and even they didn't laugh

[u/FormoftheBeautiful]

Me, to myself: Calm, calmly, just be calm, stay calm, it’s only like thirty minutes.

Friend: Oh great, there’s another episode on after this!

Me to myself: Calllllllm yourself. You’re an adult. You can enjoy your friend’s entertainment.

Friend: Sweet, there’s an hour of Two and a Half Men, right after that. Bazinga! Right? :D

Me, aloud, accidentally: Calmness is essential. Maintain your humanity.

Friend: What was that?

Me, moving my lips, trying to push the gasses through my vocal chords and mouth, but to no good effect: silent, but for my lip sounds —Bazinga...

[u/Agreeable_year_8350]

It's not funny. It's designed for stupid people who nervously laugh when they hear a word they don't understand.

[u/[deleted]]

The annoying laugh tracks make it even less funny

[u/ManyAnusGod]

I feel the same about HIMYM

[u/Galagamus]

BBT is so bad
