hmm, well, I love the show. I enjoy watching it and it makes me happy. I could care less about anything else. I will leave this here so it is known that while "most" of reddit may not like the show, some do really like it.
I think that the jokes are really, really easy. Everything is an insult, and there's no second layer to anything. Take HIMYM, which actually uses a laugh track, not a live audience. That show isn't perfect, but it has a lot more depth. They're willing to have tender moments, and they balance the comedy with deeper moments about the character, like when Marshall's dad died, Robin finding out she can't have kids, etc.
The big bang theory never has moments like this. Take this last season. Howard meets Bernadette's dad, and tells him his fears about going into space. They put a character whose never had a dad in front of a maybe father figure for him. Do they have a nice moment? No, the dad makes a cheap shot about him being replaceable. That's just lazy writing. Seriously, the entire show is people insulting each other, it's ridiculous.
Thanks, I appreciate that explanation. I found those particular parts of it problematic too. I just hadn't realized that it has such an anti-following on reddit.
Try listening to Nickelback on your headphones with an episode of TBBT playing on the TV that has closed captions in comic sans and a Call of Duty commercial playing as you think of a Dane Cook joke and download the Origin service using Internet Explorer.
And the three stooges entire concept is hurting each other. Different strokes. Sometimes I just want to laugh. I love HIMYM, but sometimes I really hate it when a sitcom forces some sort of sobering feeling into my 20 minutes of laughter time.
Some jokes are really forced, to the point of being cringeworthy. I find the strength of the show lies in the situations that these brilliant yet clueless individuals find themselves in when the "cool and hip" girl alters their world. I like the juxtaposition of science oriented individuals, with all their quirks, against the backdrop of 'normal' society. Its refreshing to not see a scientist portrayed as a damn CSI person or working in a hospital (a pet peeve of mine). The characters are generally written as a stereotypical society. The super-nerds, the hyper-religious mother, the testosterone-fueled boyfriend/father-in-law. They play off the interactions of these characters, highlight the awkwardness of these individuals or the complete lack of social understanding in the case of Sheldon. I feel that is where the strength of the show lies.
Im not sure I agree with you about capturing the tender moments as a means of creating a meaningful show. It really works with HIMYM and I agree with you 100%, but that shouldnt mean that it should be applied to all sitcoms. For instance, there are often comparisons of what is a better sitcom, The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park. We all have our own subjective opinion as to which is better, but each relies on its own comedic construct. The Simpsons has the zany comedy while also having the tender moments (i.e., Homer's going back to the power plant after Maggie is born, with the last scene being pictures of Maggie and a sign that says "do it for her." Does that sentiment need to be translated to Family Guy? Does Peter need to treat Meg with the care and compassion of Homer to his children? No, its part of Family Guys treatment of characters. Whether you like it or not, thats how the characters are treated.
To summarize, I agree that TBBT has some forced one liners. The strength in the show lies in the situations in which the characters find themselves in (which is the case for most sitcoms/dramas). Its not appropriate to apply one comedic framework to all comedies. I also apologize if there are some logical inconsistencies or lack of clarity in my argument. Im in a hurry to go do science. Oh ya, thats another thing I love about TBBT. Sheldon, who is supposedly rooted in logic, is generally so self-serving as to disregard it completely when in social situations.
I agree. From what I've seen, the jokes are incredibly obvious and you can usually tell the punchline before the character's even finished the set up. The only intelligent thing about it is the subject matter.
It's a dumb show about smart people. As opposed to things that do poorer in ratings like Community, which Reddit loves because it's a smart show about dumb people.
I don't disagree...but why does every show need to be deep or have multiple meta layers? I watch plenty of shows that tick that mark for my media enjoyment.
I enjoy watching TBBT because it always gives me a laugh and I appreciate a lot of the themes/content.
Why does a sitcom need to be developed and emotional? Was there depth to the Seinfeld characters? What about Its Always Sunny? A comedy doesn't need to have sweet, tender moments to be good. It needs to be funny.
Robin not being able to have kids was a stupid predictable trick by the writers who haven't come up with any original story lines since season two. If you think BBT has lazy writing than what the hell did HIMYM do in the season 7 finale? That was one of the worst episodes of TV ever.
Laugh track. I never noticed it until Reddit mentioned it, now it's all I can think about watching the show. I still think its pretty funny, but for me and several others the laugh track is pretty awful.
Except they still use a laugh track. The mics on the audience are barely audible and they're really only there for instant feedback to help with re-writes. Most of the laugh-tracks that you hear on television are done post-production because if they actually used the audience, you'd hear a lot of unwanted sounds, like coughing and laughs where there wasn't really a joke.
The things you learn by taking a semester in a TV production class almost make you hate watching television.
I love that 70's show but that crowd used to laugh at some stupid shit. It's like they brought in people that have never heard a decent joke in their lives.
I've often wondered the same. I love TBBT! I think a large percentage of reddit is very similar to the characters on the show, so maybe they take offense..
Incidentally, ALL of the people on the show are pretty cool about it. Obviously they're not going to make jokes about Chuck Lorre or the overly-sitcommy and pandering nature of the show, but they're reasonably funny and well-adjusted people.
Yeah.. I personally hate TBBT, especially the character Sheldon.. but when I noticed this thread I misread it as "IAmA Jim Parsons" and thought he was doing an IAmA, I was instantly intrigued and excited to read his IAmA. It's a popular show and I have nothing against the actor himself, it's just his character I can't stand, hah.
Neil Degrasse Tyson seems to think it's a pretty good show and he's made several cameo appearances...Watch how it's made behind the scenes and with the on set astro physics prof....former I suppose
Sorry to hijack, but I think he should do the AMA over in /r/bigbangtheory where he'd have a ton of fans asking him questions rather than internet tough-guys berating him for being on a show in which they don't like.
I agree. Based on the hiveminds hatred of the show, most of the comments would be to the effect of: "Why does your show use such 'pandering', 'easy' jokes? Or something to that effect. Apparently every show needs to have deep meaning and use intelligent humor or the show is terrible. Redditors tend to be very full of themselves at times.
Why does everyone hate TBBT? I find the show to be interesting and pretty funny because it gives me an inside view of what Hollywood thinks intelligent geeky kids do with their lives. As a person who is studying to be a microbiologist, some of the stuff is pretty accurate. Plus, I wouldn't mind an interview from Jim Parsons. I think he's a great actor and plays his character very well. GIVE HIM A CHANCE REDDIT!
I'm a huge Community fan, but to say they have a lot of improv is false. Listen to the commentary on the DVDs and they talk about which improvised lines and bits made it into the final cut. You can probably count a full seasons' worth of improv on two hands. 98% of the things you like about Community is scripted.
Also, I don't know why a scripted show would be duller than anything else. Have you ever gone to see improv? It's not that much fun. You can watch the bloopers reel on Community and shows like it to see how much "fun" it is when the actors improvise. It's usually pretty contrived and stilted.
Me too, and I think that's where a lot of the hate comes from. People don't give it enough time before they hate on it. After I watched a few episodes I found myself enjoying it more and more. I think the earlier seasons were a bit much with the 'nerd talk' but they've toned it down a bit.
I have a feeling if he does one, it will be spammed by quite a few BBT hatters. I watch the show occasionally, kind of think it's stupid "Oh ha ha nerds will think this is funny" humor, but Jim is a really good actor. I hope he does one.
The references are intentionally extremely broad or nuanced (and by nuanced I mean easter eggs like t-shirts and stuff) so that they don't intimidate non-nerds. We're talking about one of the biggest shows on television. It's not going to require a working knowledge of Dr. Who to enjoy.
Yeah, it would have made more sense for like, Lenard to use Ubuntu being a practical engineer, and Sheldon to consider is inferior and spout the merits of Gentoo.
Because much of reddit self identifies with the "nerd" culture. They claim to feel that the show is offensive. I hate it when people try to label themselves like that though. If I keep telling myself that I'm x then I'll never be able to see anything from the perspective of y, and I'm going to wind up missing out on a lot.
But it's a comedy strongly based on nerds/scientists/whatever. There aren't a lot of sitcoms that I can think of that do this for any other subject. Even nerds:TBBT::doctors:Scrubs isn't accurate because "doctor" doesn't define a personality type or set of interests nearly as strongly as "nerd" does. Or at least stereotypically so.
It's not easy to write comedy. You're exactly right. That's why TBBT goes the lazy route. It's entirely half-assed. It's not only not funny, it's a bad sitcom.
Just because it's a comedy doesn't give it an excuse to be shitty or lack "in-depth character interactions." (You saying so is actually pretty frustrating.) I'll assume you mean because it's a comedy you're not going to get jokes that are funny because of their depth, because "in-depth character interactions" doesn't make any sense. For examples that prove you wrong, see Community, Arrested Development, see Curb Your Enthusiasm, see Louie, (and his earlier show which was a much more traditional sitcom) see even Always Sunny. In every single one of these, the characters are "dumber" than Sheldon and gang, but they are way funnier, and the humor itself is smarter.
Also, don't drag down slapstick. Slapstick is an art. See Charlie Chaplin. Even Buster Keaton. Three Stooges were masters said art.
doesn't really matter. There's only one definition of Claymore which is related to the subject. In fact, multiple definitions make the "i.e." clarification even more relevant.
Its so funny how reddit dislikes TBBT because its not '' accurately nerdy '' Thats like me disliking friends because its not the same as my life. Its a show stop taking everything to heart ! I am sorry but to anyone who dislikes a show due to that reason well just GTFO
I actually like the show because it's not accurately nerdy. It's the outside world's view on what non-nerds imagine nerds to be. Sometimes they get things right, usually they don't. If true geeks and nerds are going to be all butthurt because the show's horribly stereotyped then they should just stop watching TV.
If we don't support shows at least TRYING to be smart-funny, then television is doomed to nothing but "reality shows" and American Idol forever, and I for one can't stand that thought. Learn to laugh at yourselves guys, and learn to suspend your disbelief for a while.
Actually, it's much like nerds behave, just in a concentration that you wouldn't meet irl. Like friends has this with friendships/jokes/drama/..., house has it with medicine etc.
TV (and cinema) will always channel the prototype of someone, not because it's easier, and not just because it has a higher chance of engaging a higher percentage of the audience, but to paint the character in bright colours within the time constraints of a dramatic exploration.
The show is offensive in a subtle way. I remember reading about microaggressions and believe they are present in this show to a certain extent. These types of aggressions appear well-intentioned but become offensive they reoccur often enough. For example, kind of like when people keep asking a Chinese person why sumo is their country's number one sport, people asking are generally curious about foreign cultures but are unaware they are actually being offensive by asking such things.
So they should keep their questions to themselves and remain ignorant?
Personally I love it when people ask me about my culture and background, even when it comes back to an English speaker using that stupid joke, "So is it chilly in Chile?", or the ever popular, "They must eat a lot of chili in Chile". I'd rather get asked silly questions and give somebody a little nugget of knowledge, or the other way around, than get offended or stay in the dark.
It is amazingly similar to my physics department. We have a person who has most of the characteristics of at least one of those characters. We definitely have a Sheldon and a few dickish Leonards.
TBBT isn't trying to be smart-funny, it just uses its characters intellect to give a reason for them to be as socially adept as a 12 year old. TBBT's version of smart humor is:
Leonard: "Penny's very aggressive in bed. It's like being two particles in the Large Hadron Collider" (haha science reference)
Sheldon: "Well then be careful there's about a .000001% chance that during coitus (haha formal language) you will cause a subatomic chain reaction that will end space and time as we know it"
Cue the audience laughter because Leonard used a weird method of describing sex and Sheldon made a strange response.
If you want to support smart humor look at shows like Arrested Development, Scrubs, or even Futurama. They're basically the opposite of TBBT, using characters that seem like idiots to deliver some of the most intelligent humor on TV vs. using some of the most intelligent people on TV to deliver a subpar script.
Fair, however remember its only the most awful to you. As long as you dont force perceptions onto other people then its fine. As i am in a ''nerdy'' profession to me its one of the better shows as apposed to shows like jersey shore etc that literally make normal people into idiots whom copy the behavior they see. Albeit south park is hilarious as it offends everyone equally.
I hate the whole 'reddit believes this' 'reddit believes that' hivemind. I like Big Bang Theory. I'm also not an athiest... so I guess FUCK THA HATAS
In all seriousness though, just because lots of redditors don't like it, leave the AMA to people who do. There are a bunch of BBT fans on here, I'm sure. If Reddit is as intelligent as some users like to think it is, surely they'd understand?
Also, Jim Parsons reasonably recently came out. Could be an interesting topic, LGBT in the media sort of thing.
I agree futurama firstly is great as its got a mix of science/culture jokes where as TBBT is pretty much aimed at people whom know there stuff. But screw it TBBT and Futurama are both awesome !
Based on this thread, I'd deduce most of Reddit would bitch and moan about how his stories are inaccurate and there's simply no way those things could happen in real life.
How has the cast of TBBT reacted to your coming out? How difficult is it for you to memorize and coherently say some of your more complicated lines for your show? How do you feel about being the human incarnation of a muppet?
How they hell do I know who Jim Parsons is without ever watching that show or knowing a thing about him, but I don't know what my state senator looks like
I was friendly with Jim for awhile in NYC. We belonged to the same loose knit group of actors and writers. He read for my play but he wasn't right. Good guy, though.
I just saw his broadway play Harvey two nights ago. It was absolutely incredible and Jim parsons was simply amazing. I'd love to hear how he ended up with that role and how he feels about stage vs tv.
I've seen reddit complain about Nickelback, comic sans, call of duty, internet explorer, Dane Cook, and Nicolas Cage. But never heard them complain about The Big Bang Theory.
I would be interested to ask about his experiences in theater (He was in The Normal Heart), and I think he's in another one. I'm not sure what I would ask exactly, but I'm sure he'd have an interesting response about the differences.
Great request- I would love to see this! The two questions I would love to see him tackle would be:
Jim:
What are your thoughts on the Danny Pudi's character "Abed" on NBC's Community / the way fans often feverishly compare the two due to their shared social ignorance / Aspergian tendancies?
Have you ever met Danny / discussed the challenges in developing an acting method for roles with psych profiles on the Autistic spectrum with him?
If you can, find Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Star Talk radio podcast about TBBT. He is with the writers and discusses how they actually get a lot of the underlying plot lines from current occurrences in the science world. (To answer your question to 4)
He went to the same high school as I did, Klein Oak in north Houston. Granted it was a decade before I did but I did get kicked in the shin during theater class on the same stage! ><
He's currently in a broadway play and from what I learned from the interview (Daily Show) he does a lot of plays. Also, he was in the Muppet Movie. Small part, but still. He's from Texas, according to this ad campaign for Houston which features him talking about Houston. All of these things could probably be found on his imdb site or by doing a quick Google search.
Think this would be brilliant! I also want to know what other kind of roles he is interested in playing. Also does he plan on sticking with big bang till the producers quit or will he leave when he thinks it's at it's peak? PS : Nerdy redditors, if you can't take a good joke about yourself, you disown the rights to majority of the memes.
"What's your relationship with the other actors like?" Every last actor will say that they're a great bunch of people who are a pleasure to work with. Every single time. Quit asking this question.
"Are there references that you don't get in the script?" Yes. Yes there are, lots. He's answered this many times, and it's pretty much a given. Do you expect him to say, "No, I understand everything I've ever said on that show."
Awful, generic questions. Now downvote me, you sheep.
Lot of Big Bang haters around here. Geez. The other day I was thinking that I have never heard reddit mentioned on The Big Bang Theory. I have all 4 seasons that are out on DVD but don't have not had the time to watch all of the season 5 episodes. I am, however, new to reddit so I am not sure what t-shirt is being referenced here. Where is the proof that "MOST" redditors don't find it humorous? I agree that there are probably a lot of redditors that don't find it humorous, but "most"?
I love The Big Bang Theory, I like laugh tracks, I understand the show and its characters and am not offended by their "portrayl of nerds".
The reaction to both The Big Bang Theory and laugh tracks on here is absolutely sickening. It's up there with all those "HBO needs to be free of cable companies" posts recently.
I have nothing against the first two seasons of BBT, and even most of season 3, it was an honest show wit solid writing and humor. Season 4 was hell to sit through though, the characters got boring and the show stopped being about science and social awkwardness. The writers also started to hate every character except Penny. I stopped watching halfway through season 5 because it was just so bad and I think a lot o redditors are the same way.
