The Big Bang Theory sans laughtrack

[buttplug]

I don't see the appeal in that show at all. It's horrible.

If I want to see a former child actor in a quasi-hip situation comedy, I'll watch How I Met Your Motha

It is basically "HAHAHA LOOK AT THOSE NERDS THEY ARE FUNNY BECAUSE THEY ARE NERDS"

It is amazing without the laugh track because it forces you to laugh at them being incredibly awkward. Instead they stick with the 'safe' laugh track shenanigans.

The show is essentially aimed at that kind of "jock" bro kind of guy. It reinforces what he thinks nerds are and consequently reinforces how he thinks of himself in relation to nerds, which is that he is superior. On top of this it just uses the same old sitcom formula and scenarios that have been hammered into every bodies subconscious, so he doesn't get too confused. This feeling of ease and superiority make it popular among the regular idiot.

It also seems to have a side audience of actual nerds who just have no taste and shit themselves at the mention of something that like in a television program.

It's actually pretty great without the laughtrack. I'd watch a whole show like this.
