Members Kev369 Posted November 30, 2011 Members Share Posted November 30, 2011 The writing and actors NAIL that type of person. What? That is what pisses me most off about the show. The characters are not believable. They keep rewriting them to suit the obvious, coming from a mile away, jokes. Like the latest episode Sheldon's super logical etc etc but hey it would also be funny if he was afraid of birds. What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what I demand of my sitcoms, gritty realism. In the grand tradition of the classic comedies of yesteryear - like when Mr Ed came up lame and Wilbur shot him in the head and shipped him off to a glue factory. Or when the plucky castaways ran out of food on the island so they drew straws and ate Gilligan to survive. For realz son. When Barny caught Opie huffin' gas behind Floyd's barbershop and didn't pistol whip him into a coma, the show just lost all credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't like your favorite show, I give you a perfectly plausible reason why, and you fly off the handle. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear that "For realz son" aside, I've heard that exact rant before. I'm hearing it in my head in Randal Graves' voice for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members decode6 Posted November 30, 2011 Members Share Posted November 30, 2011 Lemme rephrase my previous statement then: The Big Bang Theory has its live-action laughter enhanced because the jokes aren't enough not to sound good on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ke2 Posted November 30, 2011 Members Share Posted November 30, 2011 I like TBBT and felt the same way about Seinfeld not being funny. I don't do neurotic humor, which is also why I hate Larry David (main writer of Seinfeld) and Curb. And Woody Allen used up all the good points in neurotic humor ages ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yarbicus Posted November 30, 2011 Members Share Posted November 30, 2011 What? That is what pisses me most off about the show. The characters are not believable. They keep rewriting them to suit the obvious, coming from a mile away, jokes. Like the latest episode Sheldon's super logical etc etc but hey it would also be funny if he was afraid of birds. What? OK, point taken. What I meant was that they nail the ESSENCE of those characters which is about all you can ask of a sitcom since they are not really meant to be fully fleshed out characters. Ever read any material from MENSA? The ultra smart, in broad generalities, are incredibly self absorbed and disdainful of the inferior (anyone not as smart as they are). They are equally competitive with each other to prove who is the smartest. But, seriously, it's just a TV show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Oblivion DC Posted November 30, 2011 Members Share Posted November 30, 2011 So I don't like your favorite show, I give you a perfectly plausible reason why, and you fly off the handle. Well done. No, no, no. I had fun with my response to your post and you got butthurt. It's a 30 minute comedy show how much realism do you really need?

Members ComOp Posted November 30, 2011 Members Share Posted November 30, 2011 When I first glanced at the thread title I thought this thread was a CSB about Lady Loop being involved with a gangbang. Thus this thread is a complete disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
