Doesn't this guy already have some Alienware PC or something?
I mean, obviously, it's just dumb marketing for a "Meh" show, but, let's have a slight hint of realism!

It was family guy. Brian wrote a show about a guy juggling between being a single father and going to college. People who read the original script thought it was original and great and it gets bought for a few episodes. Then it gets turned into a crappy sitcom which is where Peter says that line.omega 616 said:
But yeah, I don't watch many shows nowadays for that reason. Just the sunday night lineup on fox, Criminal Minds CSI Archer, Community(a much better alternative to BBT IMO) and Sunny. 9 shows.
The complaint is usually about them phrasing nerd activities as the joke.AntiChri5 said:
They play D&D. Laughs.
They cosplay. Laughs.
They watch Doctor Who. Laughs.
There's no joke attached, just that they do these things and that's funny. I just find it really lazy writing.
Lets be perfectly fair, whoever is in charge of the laugh track/sign to the audience is just really incompetent. Sheldon once said "My new computer came with windows seven" and there were loads of laughs. There is no way loads of people found that funny. Personally I think they "spice up" the show by putting laugh tracks in at points where they didn't get the response they wanted. Either that or they just make sure their mics can't pick up the audience anyways and it's all laugh tracks.Netrigan said:
There was a lot of product placement in that episode. PS4 and Xbox One most obviously, but also that Raj shops at Jcrew. Why was that necessary? But whatever, it isn't that it bothered me, just surprised me since that isn't something that usually happens on tv.
The best part of the episode was definitely when Sheldon asked the rest of the group for their opinions on the console matter, and after voting split 50-50 between the PS4 and XB1, Bernadette chimed in with, "I like the Wii!" Now that is knowing your audience.

Pfft. The obvious answer here is the Wii U.
OK, in all honesty, I actually kinda like the Console Wars being reflected through the lens of Hollywood, because the exaggeration that they often do actually benefits the kind of petty things like this. It's a good way to have some perspective on the whole PS4 vs. Xbox One debate.

I very genuinely wish everyone whining about TBBT would just shut the hell up.
We get it. Absolutely everyone gets it. You aren't accomplishing anything, it's the purest most worthless circle jerk currently on the internet.
I absolutely dread having to go into any comments about anything related to TBBT because 90% will be people's worthless comments about the quality of the show.
I don't even like the show after season 5 and the sheer absurdity of the flame in every comments section might as well be acid to my eyes. It's one of the most frustrating subjects to talk about.
It's has been exhausted so completely that you might as well be yelling at a brick wall. We are all utterly aware that a lot of people do not like this show, can we PLEASE for the love of GOD talk about something else?
Please?

Sitcom standards are "the same old crap."
Honestly, that's exactly my point.
And even worse, they seem to watch it weekly, so aren't they part of the problem?Use_Imagination_here said:
Like, seriously, I think it's like a case of
The logic appears to be "RAWR! I hate you! I hate you so much I'm going to spread you around the culture and make you famous! Haha! How do you like THAT!!??"
Seriously, I may never have seen TBBT if not for all the whining on sites, including The Escapist. So my point is, not only is it tired and old hat, it's almost certainly counter-productive if one really hates the show.
And only 15 for a console fanboy to join the fray.omega 616 said:
Honestly, this was not the conflict I was expecting in a BBT thread :|
I'm pretty sure the audience would have to be downing liquified Ricolas by the end of a shoot if it's all organic.Mister Chippy said:

But don't you see? It's of utmost importance that each and every one of us knows, in no uncertain terms, that they DO NOT LIKE A PARTICULAR SITCOM.Use_Imagination_here said:
You know, like the folks who come into a thread discussing a particular game to let us know that they refuse to buy anything by that publisher, or that they hate that genre, or that they refuse to own anything that is not a PC game. Because that adds so much to the conversation.

The IT Crowd featured stereotypical "nerd" characters, but knew how to tell a funny joke that could appeal to nerds and non-nerds. It made fun of the nerdy character without pandering to the lowest common denominator or winking at the viewers as if to say, "Nerds, amiright?"
The TBBT writers wouldn't know a fucking well-timed or poignant joke if it came up to them and kicked them all in the balls. They're about as talented as the writers for the "filler" episodes of Family Guy.
Despite this, if you don't find TBBT funny it's only because you're a jaded nerd that can't laugh at yourself. Or so I've been told by just about every fucking TBBT theory "fan". Hell, just look at some of the posts in this thread. Omega616 says just that.
