yes and yes

next

are women people

  1. all humans are people

  2. women are human

  3. therefore women are people

QUED sexists l(ogic'd)tfo

you're wrong but I have no factual counter arguments yet i still win the discussion

oh no

So, feels above reals?

Only this one instance where it's in my benefit

I like your style

Got em'

Couldn't help but notice you made a very common mistake in step 2.

Just give it a quick revisit and I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Thanks!

women aren't human, they're property. Ergo, they aren't people.

> Implying humans can't be property

Yankee get out.

humans are people

there's a flaw in your argument.

wtf i hate science now

No

does anyone have that twitter video that's just a guy playing 5 seconds of Big Bang Theory and then screaming at the TV about how there's no actual joke

Big Bnag Theory, minus the laugh track, is alarming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dffCCSb1JCo

basically a show about people with severe autism

Huh, interesting how laugh track changes perception.

Ya but to be fair I feel like lots of shows with laugh tracks would feel really weird with them removed

MASH was meant to not have one. The DVD has the option to turn it off. Its actually pretty dark.

"Big Bang theory without a laugh track is just 4 people being mean to an autistic man"

From YouTube comments

No, that's actually very funny.

Then again the show is cut with the laugh track in mind, so there's always a pause after every joke, which usually wouldn't be there.
Now remove the laugh track and you get unnatural dead air that makes everything look awkward.

god I fucking hate nerds

Whoa. My thoughts exactly.

Its like you're in my mind

I hate any fandom of anything

r/bigbangcomics/

I was hoping that was something different

way to bury the lead that Two Broke Girls was cancelled OP.

NOOOOOOOO

Bury the lede

berry the lead

  1. Fuck nerds

  2. See 1

That show is the stupidest shit I've ever seen on TV. Unfunny, unoriginal, recycled "jokes" that only revolve around old played out stereotypes coupled with the "le syance is so cool and awesome" mentality that you see on reddit.

People who watch this show unironically need to be gassed.

The popularity of it and Two and a Half Men in the mid 2000s continue to astound me. Do people just find enjoyment out of lazy writing?

I just like looking at kaley Cuoco tits for 22 minutes.

She's not even that hot

I mean hot enough.

She's not even hot enough

I'd stick my dick in her, and I've literally stuck my dick way uglier chicks.

Check

I am pretty sure Two Broke Girls was just a vehicle for Kat Dennings tits.

I thought Two and a Half Men was the nadir of sitcom culture but this shows me I still have so much to learn.

People just like ridiculously over the top laugh tracks. Seinfeld without laugh tracks is just a bunch of neurotic crazy people being awkward and frustrated.

Seinfeld still had either good jokes and/or characters riffing off eachother, the laugh track isn't what held it together. Why am I even typing this to you, you wouldn't understand you passé plebeian peasant.

it's that even with the laugh track, that's why it's funny.

Kys nerd

Gas nerds tbh

It honestly doesn't matter how bad you think it is, it's currently the most popular running television show right now. Flailing angrily on the internet is pissing in the wind.

We here at (((CBS))) appreciate you coming to the defense of our lowest common denominator normieshit comedy. Is it ok if we pay you in marvel movie tickets?

Use google.

what kind of retarded non-sequitur reply is that

It's the one that explains how dumb autistic screeching about a popular thing is.

do you have a sheldon dakimakura? does it say bazinga when you hug it?

And you don't?

i'm just trying to understand what leads a redditor to have such an emotional response to people criticizing BBT. Like, maybe you covered the walls of your hug machine with penny posters. Or someone laughed at you in college for saying your favorite show was Love Live, and you thought you avoid that happening again by identifying with the most popular show on TV, and now you're REEEing because people make fun of that too

Whoa, whoa, slow down sally sam.

No no, you have backward. I'm trying to save people some time. People universally hate TBBT, from what I typically see. But the cold hard fact is, it's currently television's most popular sitcom. So like, sure, you could type a storm of REEEE TERRIBLE SHOW REEEE, and you're mostly right, but that doesn't make it any less popular.

Hey, but I learned something neat: people project and impose tone where they see it. I just casually googled some stuff muh man.

you people are having an actual argument about Big Bang Theory.

Shut the fuck up.

nice argument, would be a shame if it wasn't one

/u/Obskulum i disagree that you casually googled stuff i think you're mad

dakimakura

I had to google this, you motherfucker. Now it is only my history.

Defending TBBT in any form makes you an official cuckold

And it's still television's most popular sitcom. What a shit deal.

old post but whatevs, that's like saying McDonalds is the best food ever because everyone goes there.

I hate the show, not only because I dislike it but also because my friends force me to watch it time to time. I also hate Sheldon

You should also hate your friends.

You're a loser for having friends that like this show and not even have the balls to do something about it

I know I've tried blowing them but it hasn't done anything :(

Try some hip racial slurs when blowing, it gets me every time

Only incels watch Big Bang Theory.

Part of it might be that our understanding of nerdiness has been broadened to mean “consumption of literally anything other than sports.” The popular image of nerds, however, continues to imply esoteric interests and, of course, awkwardness. Where these concepts meet, they collide and create a horrid spectacle: self-identified nerds who show off their knowledge of top-10 bestselling books and movies as though they were part of a secret club. The BuzzFeedification of the internet over the past five or so years has also certainly played a role in this phenomenon. The ascent of the listicle encouraged journalists to churn out keyword-heavy but conceptually thin pop-culture mashups — most notably, the now-ubiquitous reimagined Disney princesses — and the result, selected for by sub-ideal conditions, is essentially a 16-year-old in a 30-year-old’s body. The skillset needed to score a staff position within the dregs of new media is as follows: a thorough knowledge of three or four pop culture franchises often binge-watched by aimless college freshmen, a familiarity with the latest slang purloined from black teens, and, most importantly, a complete lack of self-regard.

this comment is so sweaty that it made me like big bang theory now

What I find funny about the big bang theory is that nerds find its portrayal of nerds more offensive than actual autists find its portrayal of autism.

PEOPLE ARE MEANT TO FEAR AND RESPECT NERDS FOR THEIR COMP-SCI PROWESS, NOT LAUGH AT THEIR SOCIAL DYSFUNCTION!

Well, that's because it is quite accurate in portraying autists, except for that Sheldon fella of course.

any show with a laugh track is a show not worth watching

MASH, Cheers and Seinfeld had laughter tracks.

Friends is dank

So kys

Then your life must've never aired eh
