Strawberry is the best ice-cream flavour and it's a tragedy and an outrage that the good brands only sell it in combination with chocolate and vanilla. I can get a whole 4 litres of cheap, lovely strawberry ice-cream, or buy good strawberry ice-cream but 2/3rds of the tub is other, less good flavours.

I've never seen neapolitan ice cream that was the good stuff. It's always the absolute cheapest ice cream I could ever imagine.

I do agree it's a disgusting combination that ruins all three flavors and I have no idea how it's been such a mainstay.

And of the three it ruins strawberry the most. Bad vanilla is just bland, bad chocolate is still chocolate, but bad strawberry tastes weird.

The only time I've sat down with that show on for any amount of time, my main thought was "Holy poo poo, if someone put this on youtube and claimed the laugh track was a joke edit, I'd 100% believe it"

Although the edit where they remove the laugh track to show how unfunny the show is is kind of a cheap shot imo since removing the laugh track from any sitcom would probably have the same effect.

Yeah but that is only because sitcoms generally aren't actually funny.

yeah people will laugh their rear end off at almost anything if they go in expecting to see something funny. Someone laughing and then having a "wait, that wasn't funny, why are we laughing" moment is extremely common. Plus if you were being a downer the staff would probably ask you to leave (I don't know if this actually happens, but it would make sense if it did) and let someone else in that will play along.

Big Bang Theory, as terribly unfunny as it is, isn't even close to as harmful to American political discourse as Last Man Standing or the Murphy Brown reboot. After seeing a couple episodes of Murphy Brown, I felt like I owed Chuck Lorre and Tim Allen an apology.

Last Man Standing may be down-punching tripe wherein the lead actor is not actually acting with regards to his lines and delivery, but Murphy Brown is purestrain SUCC.

Unless you're being actively disruptive they're not going to ask you to leave. What they do is just tell you at the start that your reactions are part of the show so you need to be louder / more vocal than normal, and if you don't get a joke to pretend that you do, etc. And they'll get you to do some practice reactions to set expectations (like, "When I count to three you cheer. One, two, three! Nope, louder than that. Let's try again.") Most people will go along with it so it doesn't matter if there are a few people here and there not laughing.

A real example is stand up comedy, I think. If the comic is talented it's almost always funnier in person. If the comic isn't talented then at least a sizeable chunk of the live audience is drinking and maybe enjoying the "wow this guy sucks" experience so you still kinda feel like laughing.

The Big Bang Theory was never trying to be anything but a show you turn on in the background while you play on your phone. It's made to be that and it does it just fine. I never really got the hate it gets on here. I'm assuming because it doesn't portray "nerd culture" very positively.

If it's decent when you are only half watching it imagine how good it'd be if you didn't watch it at all.

Because people like my parents watch it and regress socially, and they have to watch all of it, even though they laugh at it about as frequently as I, though for different reasons. Also the writing is mad lazy, even for a sitcom.

I went on a date with a Zionist a few months ago! She asked me if I was circumcised (first date by the way, like one drink in), asked me if I'd consider becoming Jewish, let me know even if I did it wouldn't make me a real Jew, and said that it was her and her people's job to lead the rest of us through the end of days.

Despite not liking basically anything about me besides my circumcision, she still wanted to go home with me. I politely ended the date. Probably the worst decision I've ever made because I can't even imagine how great the sex would have been to equal that amount of crazy.
