I think it is actually also for nerds, but in a way they can relate to it positively as well as laugh at themselves. Many of the guest stars are known to be popular with nerds.

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.

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.

[@kimsmith8834]

Maybe that's why they keep trying so hard?

[@gabeskai]

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.

[@mikevasquez1103]

@@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.

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.

[@ahhh4117]

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

[@kodidane5824]

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.

[@rc0ll18]

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.

*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.
