Me with Big Bang Theory.

I genuinely don't understand why anyone likes it. Every moment is pure torture to me. Humor is subjective, sure. But I just don't get it.

I don't know about others, but I can tell you the main reason why I like it.
I've had to work with not one, but two guys who were exactly like Sheldon Cooper from the show, in terms of intelligence and character. They also quite looked like him. That was in different cities and different jobs. Both were absolutely self-righteous and 100% full of themselves. One of them seemed to think of himself as second only to God himself. It was brutal.
So, watching the series provided me with a lot of comic relief.

What, you don’t think it’s peak comedy when the joke is “this guy isn’t white”?

[-] regdog@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Anything with a laugh track in it is poison to my mind.

Then you should like friends. They played to live audience.

That's why I miss shows with a live studio audience. It always made it a little more enjoyable when lines hit so well the audience is laughing so much the actor is clearly pausing a little longer than they thought or stuttering a bit so they can have a clear moment to say their lines

You remove the laugh track and it turns out it's all verbal abuse.

The tv show "Kevin can F**k himself" makes fun of this exact thing. Highly recommend it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJB6VQ0his4

This show was really well done. I wish it went in a slightly different direction, but I enjoyed it. It was a very unique take on the sitcom.

[-] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's such a great show

But damn it's painful to watch

[-] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

I couldn't stand watching it because of that. The jokes themselves were passable.
