The Big Bang Theory isn't funny.

Many people seem to like this show. Reruns are constantly on, so I wanted to get into it. I really did.

I watched it for a while and didn’t think it was very funny.

But then multiple people were all “no dude, it’s HILARIOUS! You just don’t appreciate the humor!”  So I gave it another chance.

And another.

And another.

And y’all … that show is bullshit. It has the occasional laugh, but on the whole it is just NOT. FUNNY.

Here is how the standard episode of Big Bang Theory goes:

1

Leonard’s Heart is Wounded by Something Penny Does

Maybe she gets a new boyfriend, or explains to him that she only sees him as a friend. Or gets jealous that he has a new girlfriend and lets him know that she’s jealous, which makes him think he has a chance, but then it turns out he doesn’t have a chance.

2

Sheldon Fails to Understand Why Leonard’s Heart is Wounded

 

3

Howard Acts All Lecherous

4

The Indian Guy Gets Drunk and Talks To Women

 

5

Penny Tries to Understand Why Sheldon Is The Way He Is

 

 

That’s … pretty much it.

Also, have you ever noticed how LOUD the laugh track is?

Well, now you will.

You can never un-notice it once you’ve noticed it.

I do sort of wish it was a live studio audience, though. Then I could do this:

 

 

Meanwhile, I guess I'll just have to settle for a phone call and letter-writing campaign.

NOT COOL, TBS. NOT COOL.

(and credit goes to my brother for pointing out the volume of the laugh track. I might have stood a chance of tolerating the show until he mentioned that. Now, all hope is lost.)
