I was forced to watch an episode while visiting my own fiftysomething parents and heard a snippet of dialogue/laughtrack that I had seen around the internet, and had thought was made up. "Windows 7 is more user-friendly than Vista." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA "I don't like that." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAA The show is bad and if you like it you should feel bad.

For real, I cannot understand people's love for that show. My parents also loved the hell out of it, as well as several mid-twenties friends of mine. Seriously considering unfriending them IRL.

Not that I'm one to defend it (I suffer it because there's nothing else on some nights and my wife enjoys it) the same can be said of basically any show which is filmed in from of a live audience as I understand that Big Bang is. When you have to pause for laughs, it sounds weird when the laughs aren't there. Big Bang definitely edges closer to 'social pressure laughter' than many shows though.

When you have to pause for laughs, it sounds weird when the laughs aren't there. Is it really filmed in front of an audience? I thought they were using canned laugh-tracks. Because gently caress the jokes are really not jokes. At least, I don't want to meet the crowd of people who find them funny.

I googled it before I posted and yes, it seems like it is. You can apply for tickets and everything. Most shows with 'laugh tracks' are filmed with a live audience, as far as I'm aware, because, as previously noted, it would be really hard for the actors to act without knowing what the response was. I suspect the laughter is enhanced in a lot of cases, but mostly it's actually there. There aren't many primetime comedies which aren't, but I find them very memorable (Scrubs, Brooklyn 9-9, many older British sitcoms). E: and having been in the audience for some filmings, albeit not of sitcoms but of topical shows, the filmings can be incredibly tedious, so it's not surprising the laughter sometimes feels a bit forced. When you've sat through the fourth or fifth reshoot of a single joke it can be pretty hard to keep the energy up. It's much better being in the audience for an actually live show. My wife and I have been in the audience for both Ten O'Clock Live and The Last Leg in the UK and they were fantastic experiences. thespaceinvader has a new favorite as of 00:05 on Jan 26, 2015 |

The blonde one, Penny? Recently said she doesn't really believe in feminism because she ~likes taking care of her husband~ just seals it even further for me. Especially since one of the other women on the show, Mayim Bialik (who also played Blossom!), has her PhD in neuroscience.

Wow what a fuckass oval office, now I just hate the show on principal. At first I was like "hahaha he's socially awkward". But now I'm like "wait that's pretty loving racist wow you goddamn shithead man I bet this is going to make people in America go even LESS to college just so they don't get associated by this." Seriously, how bad can a show be when Wolowitz, the loving Quagmire of the group has actually become the most developed character?

I caught an episode at some point where the autist realizes his girlfriend is lying about being sick, so he starts grilling her "Have you been experiencing... a growing of the nose? Perhaps some... heat flashes in the pants area?" "What I'm implying here is LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!" I decided the show was just too drat subtle and had to change the channel.

Same. Although I like them to be terrible book covers made by actual artists. Then again, because so many people are self publishing lately, I've seen work put out by actual graphic artists that looks almost as bad since I guess that's the trend now?
