Big Bang Theory

Taking out the laugh track screws up the timing and proves nothing

I dont enjoy the show and feel that it's a lot less clever than other shows that arent trying appeal to alpha nerds

also Breaking Bad The Sitcom Part 1 - YouTube

I like laugh tracks. My favorite shows use laugh tracks or studio audiences.

Friend, Will & Grace, That 70's Show, How I Met Your Mother, etc.

BBT is blackface for nerds.

I don't really like it.

As for laugh tracks in general, I've never ever liked them, and probably never will. Call it stale or whatever but that's how it is.

Its one of those shows where it is funny for the first episode and then maybe the second and then you realise all the jokes are the same and none of the characters are interesting enough to help you ignore the fact you're listening to the same jokes over and over again

This could be said about any sitcom, really.

Why I also don't really watch sitcoms.

Yep, it could. I can't say I disagree with that. It's a personal decision. With Friends for example, I liked the characters and the general plotlines (when I was a teen). I just don't feel the same way about BBT. The characters and plot aren't different enough to justify the jokes. Although there was catchphrasing to an extent in Friends, it wasn't like the audience needed to hear a "Bazinga" or a "D'oh!" in every single episode or ratings would drop.

Take the laughter out of Seinfeld and the dialogue would have awkward pauses all over (plus the cast would probably start making out every five seconds). Still the funniest sitcom ever made though.

This is why Curb Your Enthusiasm works, though xD It's the same thing as Seinfeld, just without the laugh track!

[Slothy]

That just proves the laugh track doesn't matter.

Seinfeld is funny?

I'm the type of person that I don't think new seasons of anything are funny though.. Like the new season of HIMYM? It won't be funny to me for another couple of years when it gets syndicated. Same with BBT although it has made me laugh a time or two so far. I'll think it's mega funny later on though.

[Night Fury]

I quite enjoy BBT as light hearted fluff. I don't find it that funny but its okay. I prefer Modern Family and New Girl for my laughs though.

Have you been drinking?

Wait. Never mind.

ha. ha. ha.

lmao I really don't find Seinfeld funny at all, tbh.

I enjoyed Big Bang Theory for a while but it got stale. And once a friend of mine showed me Steins;Gate I realized how much better this kind of show can be. Because honestly, BBT is inferior to Steins;Gate in, well, every way. Admittedly it's hard to compare a long-running American sitcom with a Japanese anime, but when directly comparing what they do share, Steins;Gate destroys BBT.

I used to really like Big Bang Theory. And then I thought the show got progressively less funny, more annoying, and shockingly sexist. So yeah... it's kind of descended into the pit of smarmy-playing-it-dumb-for-the-masses-but-occasionally-still-funny-mediocre sitcoms, when it used to be something kind of fun and quirky.
