Have you ever noticed that in sitcoms, the laughter almost always comes just from the studio audience and/or a laugh track? The characters in the universe of the show can't hear that laughter. That means they live in a world where nearly every humorous moment is met with a deadpan reception.
That's because they're using a kind of humour I think is called serious humour? I forget exactly what it's called, but basically it means what makes the joke funny is that the fact that the characters are taking the event seriously. If the characters laugh at it as well, it becomes harder for the viewer to find it funny.
@@gabeskai That requires a balance between a screwball and straightman. Besides, they're portraying people and even serious people will have SOME reaction to SOME scenarios other than a deadpan stare. Furthermore, the serious humor analasys breaks the fourth wall. I'm commenting on the character dynamics from an in-universe perspective. That being said, I totally get where you're coming from as sometimes not joking is the joke. In that, you have a good poinr.
Yeah, but they are not trying to portray a realistic situation. This is also why they can barely lower their voice without other characters noticing, or say something they're thinking but correcting without any suspicion so that the audience understands.

two and a half men is a good show , first 8 seasons anyway . charlie sheen is basically playing a watered down version of himself and that is why it is good . when he left the show it went down hill rapidly . so maybe a pitch meeting for seasons 9-12 would be funny , although arnold in his cameo did a "pitch meeting" in the last episode already so at least they are self aware about how bad the show got .
Oh goodness yes. I know I'm late to comment, but Big Bang Theory still had a few good jokes and sweet moments. Two and a Half Men is just wall-to-wall "being a caring dad makes you a ridiculous loser, but being a lazy womanizing alcoholic is super cool". Oh, and then when the main actor showed us all what being a womanizing alcoholic REALLY looks like, he got dropped like a hot potatoe because _THAT_ is dangerous for the poor itty bitty kids. What. The. F---.
Ok but when i was a kid watching two and a half men i thought it was about two gay dads raising their son (dont ask how i got that impression i dont know). Safe to say i was disappointed when i went to go rewatch the show last year for nostalgia and learned it was not that 😂
@@alexissnape9345 it's probably because one of the men was extremely camp, did they ever confirm if he was gay or straight, I hardly watched the show tbh but caught the odd episode.
I actually liked first couple of seasons, originally it was basically just because I was 13 and it was pretty rare to see anything with nerdy references that weren't just like "In this episode of CSI a call of duty player goes on a killing spree because video games cause violence and teach people to shoot guns."
Really? It seems like there was a boom of media targeted towards nerds And I should be clear in saying, as a nerd myself it doesn't seem like a shortage of nerd content available to me, especially early 2000s
The first few seasons of TBBT were really good and refreshing. It definitely went downhill after around season 6 though. I only bought the first 5 seasons.
For all its faults (canned laughter to hide unfunny jokes, attitudes towards sex, race and sexuality that were cringey even at the time, and a relationship between Sheldon and Amy that at least in the early stages could be described as emotionally abusive) I will credit it for showing positive representations of people (particularly women) in STEM fields which I'm sure has encouraged people to consider careers there. I think it's great that Mayim Bialik got the opportunity to be recognised as both a neuroscientist and an actress and give her a platform to talk about certain topics even if she got criticism for them. And I've still yet to see a show that treats not just nerds but people who like pop culture (which is most of us now) with the same level of appreciation and humanity. Each cast member was the butt of a lot of jokes based on stereotypes, but each of them got a character arc and grew over the 12 seasons.
@gina I'm mainly talking about 'romantic' comedies, wherein the male protagonist gets the girl through simple persistence. The girl isn't interested in him, but he tries and tries again, usually each attempt being more over the top showing his commitment/dedication to her. Which in real life isn't romantic, but stalkery/needy. A good video on this is 'Stalking For Love' by Pop Culture Detective here on YT.
@gina I think you have the argument backwards. The reason a movement like Me Too took off is because the creepy behaviours are widespread enough that women everywhere recognized having experienced something similar to what some of what the testimonials described. These shows both inhabit and propagate that same culture.
This was the first sitcom that made me realize not all sitcoms are funny when I was a kid and I'll always appreciate The Big Bang Theory for that and nothing else.
@@balkthor I wasn't offended though; only pointing out that make their entire personality not liking something are odd. I'm sorry that you weren't able to parse the meaning of my comment.
@@nerdock4747it didn't fit the point they were trying to make. In the abridged words of a famous TH-camr: "people like to feel smart, even if it isn't true"

In my country with a population of 140+ crore..a particular Serial is currently No. 1 for the last few years..but I can bet that you won't be able to make it to episode 2 of it. Shows like TBBT and Friends are made to brainwash people into thinking that no matter how FUCKED UP their life is in all aspects humanly possible.. Everything just works out perfectly fine at the end.
too many instances, where someone says something vaguely nerdy, like Sheldon wanting to keep his N64, or Raj reading The Lord of The Rings for the 5th time, and the audience wet themselves with laughter.
I like the Big Blonde Theory, where Penny was an undercover agent to keep tabs on the nerds since they had military contracts and potential to create weapons of mass destruction.
Assuming everyone only laughs because they are basically being told to like they are mindless zombies sure is an original thought that I'm sure you are the only one to ever think of it. It was probably super easy and barely an inconvenience for you to come to that conclusion.
I can't stand laugh tracks. I usually just watch with subtitles and put the sound on mute. I wish there was a second audio program where you can watch without laugh tracks.
Ig bc a lot of people have more sense of humor than most people in this comment section. Honestly I get that there's different tastes and stuff but some people here are seriously butthurt
@@Alex-cc8yf Actually is the opposite. The show does not challenge AT ALL the audience, jokes are weak, characters most of the time are plain idiots. Writing in this show is absolute garbage and you can tell by how much screen time could be left out if laugh tracks were deleted. I'm not saying it could not have it's funny moments, but 95% of the time it just wasn't, not smart, not clever.
@john smith those are all your opinions, and that's fine. I found the show very entertaining and apparently so did enough other people to keep it going. I get some people don't find the humor funny, but I really don't like these butthurt claims of homophobia, racism etc
Man, I sure hope your comedy is as appreciated as I think it is. You're a gem on this platform, and I could watch you talk to yourself all day! Great work my friend, and thank you.
The catch is nerds don't really care. We are going to like what we want to like, and not be shamed into liking football and Beyonce music or whatever is popular now days. People shouldn't be expected to conform, and I refuse to conform to the norms of society.
@@user-fq1ig3uy3q I doubt your bona fides. I've been a nerd since the Nixon administration, and the computer lab at my high school was chock full of Howards, Rajes, and Leonards. Sheldon's a bit of an outlier, but tone him down a little and you have every TA in the joint. Trust me, it isn't the inaccuracies of the characterizations that annoys nerds, it's the opposite. Follow Shatner's advice: kiss a girl and lighten up. It's just a TV show.
@@anitahand5699 that show was definitely immensely popular when it first aired and it wasn’t definitely the funniest show of all time but it was definitely funny and beside the ending it was a really good show that is very rewatchable.
THANK YOU! The original creator of the show got the idea for Big Bang Theory when he worked at Trade a Tape in my home town of Lincoln, Nebraska. (The place was also a comic book shop.) He always looked down at the "geeks" and "nerds" who frequented the shop and the idea of the show was to take his stuck up vision of us to portray in a show. It is literally intended to make fun of geek culture, yet so many people who are part of that culture can't see it. This guy is insulting them time and time again, and they think they're being complimented. That has always blown my mind how people could be so blind.
Being the one who sincerely watched the full "BBT" show, this is very well made video about it lol.... espc, the "Me too" killed me, that was brilliant
I don't think that WAS "someone else on another video". I think that was YOU. But, oh, I dunno. Wearing glasses or something. People on TH-cam pretending to be more than one person shouldn't be allowed to do that.
Yeah, I never understood why people think the big bang could have happened it just doesn't make sense to me, or the theory of evolution, if we did evolve from whatever they think wouldn't we just keep evolving until we reach perfection, like immunity from diseases.
tanmoy goswami But according to whoever believes that it didn't take that long, I don't think anyway, and wouldn't it just keep getting faster rather than take the same amount of time? I think I already said I don't believe in evolution, I think that idea is stupid, I'd rather not talk about how I think humanity started, the unknown is one of my biggest fears like what most people cant agree on where we came from or things like that, my mind like shuts off if I think about too long.
The first time I mentioned to a doctor (a psychologist actually) that I thought I might be autistic, he looked onto his notes again and said "What did you study again, astrophysics? Hm". Then he turned to me and asked me if I knew Sheldon Cooper from The Big Band Theory, and if I thought I was like him. He refused to call it anything else except "The Sheldon Syndrome", and even though I wouldn't get an actual diagnosis until a year later, he was alteady 100% convinced I had _the syndrome,_ just because I like astrophysics and Lord of the Rings. You know, like Sheldon. That show definitely did more damage than it did good for autistic people.
*Ahem* I think the premise of the show was actually pretty good. A show centered around the nerds who were always the butt of the joke in every single piece of media prior to it, showing their side of the story rather than reducing them to easy targets for jokes. Too bad it ended up doing the exact same thing every single piece of media prior to it did, showing nerds as barely functional human beings and/or outright creepy and devoid of any social tact, Howard and Sheldon's characters being the most guilty of it. At some point it also became literally unwatchable when Sheldon was turned into a literal child in the body of an adult.
@@emeraldkoala2 Stuart was introduced as being much more normal and having more game than the protagonists, but eventually became a depressed psycho on suicide watch. This show has zero consistency with its characters, in fact I don't think I've seen any series being more inconsistent in that regard.
Your pitch meetings are TIGHT (I’m so sorry, I’m sure people say that ALL. THE. TIME.). Please keep making more! I’d love to see more older movies, too…maybe The Graduate? 😍
"So, you have a pitch for a new cartoon." "Yes I do. It's called South Park." "What is that about?" "It's about four kids who live in South Park..." "Oh, so it's a kids show?" "And the kids say f*ck every couple of sentences or so." "What?"
This was in a transitional phase between when he delivered these skits almost completely serious, and present day pitch meetings which are done in a goofy, satirical tone. He's incorporating a few more smiles and catch phrases but not to the extent he does now
Yeah, it's interesting to see the old ones. It's kinda funny when I first found this channel that's all there were, and I loved them, but honestly I feel like the new ones ruined them for me. I really like the smarmy voice he does these days, so when I watch the older ones they're still good, but I find myself missing his (IMO) better, more-refined delivery.
@@Kurse_of_Kall ~ Right, because the "socially woke" left, the ones who throw around words like "minorities" and "racist" and "misogynist", are completely innocent of any bigoted behavior against minorities and women...
The show in the beginning wasn't bad. Penny wasn't an airhead she was just normal. Lenard wanted to be normal but wasn't. Sheldon didn't care about being normal but he knew what it was. Howard just wanted to get laid. Raj just wanted to be normal too, but was too socially awkward. It took a bad turn after the 3rd season or so.
Sheldon in the first few episodes is an incredibly different character than what he is shown as in the rest of the show. All of the characters very quickly became flanderized, and generally they became worse people because of it.
@@SuperTwonky They had a live studio audience throughout all of the season, but I hear they put up "laugh now" signs when they wanted people to laugh at something which is almost the same thing??? It was a bit much.
BBT couldn't keep their characters straight, it's like they only had a blurb to define the characters, rather than having strict character outlines. It caused massive flanderization, and also huge, constant flip-flopping and 180s. Penny went from a bit of an air-head to a down home country girl to 'the straight woman slowly infected by nerdism' back to an airhead and then cynical ex-bully cheerleader, Sheldon went from quirky to 'cannot function in society' to 'literal child' to 'somehow supposed to be mature enough for sex and marriage', Bernadette flopped all over the place, and Amy had extreme character rebuilds practically every season, going from 'female sheldon' to 'sheldon's fangirl who thinks everything he does is perfect' to 'loser nerd girl desperate to be popular who can barely put up with Sheldon' to like....some kind of weird stalker. The characters were all awful people, but what really sucked is that from episode to episode and especially season to season, their behavior wasn't consistent except in the *broadest* of terms (Leonard being obsessed with Penny and embarrassed by being a nerd, Sheldon being insufferable and varying degrees of OCD, Howard and Raj having a bromance specifically meant to look like something more, etc). You couldn't really get invested in the characters, because they constantly changed and sometimes caused really uncomfortable connotations - like what they did with Sheldon/Amy and Leonard/Penny
I loved watching this knowing that at this time you didn’t know “super easy barely an inconvenience “ would have its payoff with cocaine bear 😂😂😂 that’s genius and dedication
Yes, let the hate run through you. You dismantled that show quicker than a kid hocked up on sugar pills with a partially built lego tower. Lego’s are tight!
The thing that pissed me off the most about BBT, particularly in the later seasons is that if they had had a somewhat decent plot in an episode they would never resolve it. It was lazy writing. Then the show was completely inappropriate, Howard was disgusting.
The fact that Howard was the first one of the group to get married was insane. And they really needed to be able to be inconsistent with their characters or Bernadette would've left Howard instead of marrying him.
@@carmeltabby yeah they turned Bernadette into a mean, bossy and so what manipulative girl. They also made it seem like she’s okay with Howard because she too had a “past”.
So what? Thats the good part especially when it is supposed to be funny. I dont want boring politically correct people who do everything right. Thats no fun.
Insightful!! The same is true for that new cartoon Velma.. but much worse. That writer has serious issues with people who look differently than her.. almost every line is extremely shallow, racist, sexist and hypocritical. Its not subtle like big bang theory, its very in-your-face. She needs therapy haha
It seems modern shows in general keep addin more and more laugh tracks. Sooner or later it's just goin to be a constant laughter in the background. A lot of shows were ruined because of this.
(while watching a totally unrelated show a year later) "Hey, I recognize that canned laughter, wasn't that used on that show that lasted ten seasons?" Whoopsies.
I really get the feeling that those laugh tracks will meet their end soon. Cause shows from netflix and others don't have them anymore, and everyone is just bored and sick of them...^^
@@schmandkacke Good point! Also, i don't think many executives are willing to greenlight shows that follow that same formula anymore. They probably stopped working and there are countless examples of it. Meanwhile, shows that are more "cinematic" are having a great run. And a good example of that counterbalance is Young Sheldon. That's a good show that builds on the premise of The Big Bang Theory, but in a totally different perspective, and it works.
@@boydmerriman I did notice some laughter in a few episodes sounded the same, and i assumed it was just because they shot those episodes with the same audience. And i assume they shoot those things with a live audience
Fun fact tbbt is actually filmed in front of a live audience. The reason the laughter sounds fake is because there is a laugh now sign that lights up, like on the crusty the clown show from the Simpson's.

Do "How I met your mother " pitch meetings
YES! Do that, please. That show is terrible.
@@gensolo83 why? I've just watched H.I.m.y.m. and loved it for most parts.
Yeah it's pretty good
The last sitcoms I laughed on are Seinfeld and friends, the newer shows I can't get it.
I think I'm getting old.
Scott Wright The ending was terrible, the rest is decent
This might have been the best pitch meeting of all. He definitely needs to do Two and a Half Men.
two and a half men is a good show , first 8 seasons anyway .
charlie sheen is basically playing a watered down version of himself and that is why it is good .
when he left the show it went down hill rapidly . so maybe a pitch meeting for seasons 9-12 would be funny ,
although arnold in his cameo did a "pitch meeting" in the last episode already so at least they are self aware about how bad the show got .
Followed by a pitch meeting for Anger Management.
Oh goodness yes.
I know I'm late to comment, but Big Bang Theory still had a few good jokes and sweet moments.
Two and a Half Men is just wall-to-wall "being a caring dad makes you a ridiculous loser, but being a lazy womanizing alcoholic is super cool".
Oh, and then when the main actor showed us all what being a womanizing alcoholic REALLY looks like, he got dropped like a hot potatoe because _THAT_ is dangerous for the poor itty bitty kids.
What. The. F---.
Ok but when i was a kid watching two and a half men i thought it was about two gay dads raising their son (dont ask how i got that impression i dont know).
Safe to say i was disappointed when i went to go rewatch the show last year for nostalgia and learned it was not that 😂
@@alexissnape9345 it's probably because one of the men was extremely camp, did they ever confirm if he was gay or straight, I hardly watched the show tbh but caught the odd episode.
I actually liked first couple of seasons, originally it was basically just because I was 13 and it was pretty rare to see anything with nerdy references that weren't just like "In this episode of CSI a call of duty player goes on a killing spree because video games cause violence and teach people to shoot guns."
Really? It seems like there was a boom of media targeted towards nerds
And I should be clear in saying, as a nerd myself it doesn't seem like a shortage of nerd content available to me, especially early 2000s
The first few seasons of TBBT were really good and refreshing. It definitely went downhill after around season 6 though. I only bought the first 5 seasons.
For all its faults (canned laughter to hide unfunny jokes, attitudes towards sex, race and sexuality that were cringey even at the time, and a relationship between Sheldon and Amy that at least in the early stages could be described as emotionally abusive) I will credit it for showing positive representations of people (particularly women) in STEM fields which I'm sure has encouraged people to consider careers there. I think it's great that Mayim Bialik got the opportunity to be recognised as both a neuroscientist and an actress and give her a platform to talk about certain topics even if she got criticism for them. And I've still yet to see a show that treats not just nerds but people who like pop culture (which is most of us now) with the same level of appreciation and humanity. Each cast member was the butt of a lot of jokes based on stereotypes, but each of them got a character arc and grew over the 12 seasons.
There's a whole genre dedicated to nerds: Sci Fi. Get on it.
Honestly as problematic this show is it definitely helped bring nerd/geek culture into mainstream.

"It's super charming when men don't take no for an answer."

Funny, but also sad seeing we all grew up with that idea being put into our minds by tv.
@gina I'm mainly talking about 'romantic' comedies, wherein the male protagonist gets the girl through simple persistence. The girl isn't interested in him, but he tries and tries again, usually each attempt being more over the top showing his commitment/dedication to her. Which in real life isn't romantic, but stalkery/needy.
A good video on this is 'Stalking For Love' by Pop Culture Detective here on YT.
@gina I think you have the argument backwards. The reason a movement like Me Too took off is because the creepy behaviours are widespread enough that women everywhere recognized having experienced something similar to what some of what the testimonials described. These shows both inhabit and propagate that same culture.
@Gina
Just because MeToo exists doesn’t directly mean the movies had no power over the culture

The first time I mentioned to a doctor (a psychologist actually) that I thought I might be autistic, he looked onto his notes again and said "What did you study again, astrophysics? Hm".
Then he turned to me and asked me if I knew Sheldon Cooper from The Big Band Theory, and if I thought I was like him.
He refused to call it anything else except "The Sheldon Syndrome", and even though I wouldn't get an actual diagnosis until a year later, he was alteady 100% convinced I had _the syndrome,_ just because I like astrophysics and Lord of the Rings. You know, like Sheldon.
That show definitely did more damage than it did good for autistic people.

*Ahem* I think the premise of the show was actually pretty good.

Too bad it ended up doing the exact same thing every single piece of media prior to it did, showing nerds as barely functional human beings and/or outright creepy and devoid of any social tact, Howard and Sheldon's characters being the most guilty of it. At some point it also became literally unwatchable when Sheldon was turned into a literal child in the body of an adult.

@@Kurse_of_Kall ~ Right, because the "socially woke" left, the ones who throw around words like "minorities" and "racist" and "misogynist", are completely innocent of any bigoted behavior against minorities and women...
The show in the beginning wasn't bad. Penny wasn't an airhead she was just normal. Lenard wanted to be normal but wasn't. Sheldon didn't care about being normal but he knew what it was. Howard just wanted to get laid. Raj just wanted to be normal too, but was too socially awkward. It took a bad turn after the 3rd season or so.
Agreed. Glad I’m not the only one who thinks this (including the cutoff of when it stopped being watchable)
Sheldon in the first few episodes is an incredibly different character than what he is shown as in the rest of the show. All of the characters very quickly became flanderized, and generally they became worse people because of it.
I couldn’t even get through the first episode. The overused canned laughter killed it for me.
@@SuperTwonky They had a live studio audience throughout all of the season, but I hear they put up "laugh now" signs when they wanted people to laugh at something which is almost the same thing??? It was a bit much.
BBT couldn't keep their characters straight, it's like they only had a blurb to define the characters, rather than having strict character outlines. It caused massive flanderization, and also huge, constant flip-flopping and 180s. Penny went from a bit of an air-head to a down home country girl to 'the straight woman slowly infected by nerdism' back to an airhead and then cynical ex-bully cheerleader, Sheldon went from quirky to 'cannot function in society' to 'literal child' to 'somehow supposed to be mature enough for sex and marriage', Bernadette flopped all over the place, and Amy had extreme character rebuilds practically every season, going from 'female sheldon' to 'sheldon's fangirl who thinks everything he does is perfect' to 'loser nerd girl desperate to be popular who can barely put up with Sheldon' to like....some kind of weird stalker. The characters were all awful people, but what really sucked is that from episode to episode and especially season to season, their behavior wasn't consistent except in the *broadest* of terms (Leonard being obsessed with Penny and embarrassed by being a nerd, Sheldon being insufferable and varying degrees of OCD, Howard and Raj having a bromance specifically meant to look like something more, etc). You couldn't really get invested in the characters, because they constantly changed and sometimes caused really uncomfortable connotations - like what they did with Sheldon/Amy and Leonard/Penny

The thing that pissed me off the most about BBT, particularly in the later seasons is that if they had had a somewhat decent plot in an episode they would never resolve it. It was lazy writing. Then the show was completely inappropriate, Howard was disgusting.
The fact that Howard was the first one of the group to get married was insane. And they really needed to be able to be inconsistent with their characters or Bernadette would've left Howard instead of marrying him.

@@schmandkacke Good point! Also, i don't think many executives are willing to greenlight shows that follow that same formula anymore. They probably stopped working and there are countless examples of it. Meanwhile, shows that are more "cinematic" are having a great run. And a good example of that counterbalance is Young Sheldon.
