This is the show where simply acknowledging a character owns/owned a NES was the entire punchline of a joke.

I fucking hate that show. Also, I love your username.
Lmao thanks bro i joined this place last night after hearing about it on Reddit I decided to go for a short username and this one was available i couldn’t fucking believe it
So much hate for a show that was never meant to be a cinematic masterpiece of comedy? I don’t get it. It’s not supposed to be deep. I watched it for a while, it was funny in its dumb way, and then it just didn’t go anywhere so I quit watching. It was fun for a while. No need for the hate.
Edit: wow. Triggered some people who want to equate themselves to centuries-long oppressed minorities and slaves, over a TV show. Know what? Oppressed minorities will still be oppressed tomorrow, shot by cops, profiled, and live with systemic racism. You get to change the channel. Get over yourselves.
A lot of people grew up being bullied, turned on a show that was supposed to appeal to them, only to be bullied again. 90% of the jokes are "hey look how fucking stupid these nerds are for liking nerd things." The remaining 10% is sexist or ignoring Penny's crippling alcoholism.
It was an attack on a culture of people, rather than the celebration of that culture it pretended to be. That's why people hate it.
I mean it's nerd blackface basically if I'm being only slightly hyperbolic
There's no centuries-long systemic oppression and denigration of "nerds", blackface is a terrible word choice.
It gets the point across and I don't really care to come up with a substitute, you're just ignoring it to argue semantics
can't believe how underused she was in the show.
Harley is one of the funniest shows from the last decade, how the fuck was a show with her as a lead was so unfunny!!!??
Regardless of how good / bad the show was, what a fuck ass meme is this. Did you crawl out of 2010?
People think I’m weird for not enjoying this show, and many others like it. I’ll laugh a good joke but it’s just a constant quip of bad jokes and insults with a laugh track. Friends, the office, parks and rec… I just can’t enjoy them.
laugh track
names 4 shows with no laugh track.
2 of them don’t even have a studio audience.
EDIT: Apparently they “sweetened” the live studio audience in Friends and BBT, so there’s that.
Office and Parks & Rec both famously have no laugh track.
I thought the show was alright. There's so much hate for it on here
The show’s creepy vibe and the creepy audience and the creepy jokes aside Penny had to work for that free food. I mean these guys were not getting anything and she’s basically an adult entertainer for these nerds the same way that a sugar baby is not a prostitute but damn it’s just food that’s low.
