Sounds ghastly. Would totally eat it.

Rick and Morty is bad and unfunny.

So is The Big Bang Theory, but I don't think that's an unpopular opinion.

I like The Big Bang Theory. It's just stupid jokes wrapped in nerd references. Add in them saying "gently caress" a whole bunch and it's Silicon Valley.

Granted I only watched half a season or so before deciding it's not worth my time, but it seemed most of their "humor" consisted of "Look at these people being socially awkward, aren't they funny? Here's a laugh track so you know it was meant to be funny."

There are some attempts at jokes but mostly it's just beating you over the head with references, much like Family Guy (which is also terribly unfunny). There is absolutely nothing redeeming about any of the characters and, although scientists/engineers in general tend toward the socially awkward side, the level that these characters take it is so over the top that even the most nerdy shut-in I know would shun them socially and professionally.

I had a similar reaction to Napoleon Dynamite, which people in general seem to love and I just couldn't stand because the main character is such a completely unlikeable tool.

Frozen was terrible because there was no bad guy song. It didn't even have a real antagonist until the last 5 minutes and even then it was garbage. Tangled was good.

i'm happy about Big Bang Theory because it made some genius think up the term "nerd blackface" and a bunch of people from on-line & goons wrote incredibly stupid, but funny words about how making fun of nerdy stuff is comparable to sexism & racism, and how making light pop culture references is cultural appropribation if you reveal stuff like how Batman is Bruce Wayne to regular people

Do they? The only time I see Bing Bang Theory mentioned anywhere is people calling it out for being terrible.

People who actually work as physicists, or whatever is is they do on the show, are the ones who should be upset at it. They probably don't spend their free time playing Star Trek trivia with their roommates.

I'm an astronomer and everyone I've heard talk about it at work hate it. I think the people who honestly use the term "nerd blackface" are even worse than the fans of the show though. Hating it because it's not funny and the references are uninteresting is fine, hating it because you are offended by the portrayal of nerds is weird.

Nerd "culture" is terrible and even though many/most/all people in the field are nerds by anyone's definition, it is very unpopular to act like one at work. The nerdiest behavior I've seen is people getting a bit too excited about new Star Wars movies, but it's still nowhere close to the poo poo they do/say on that show.

e: that said I do get a little offended when my parents compare me to characters on the show, especially sheldon.

when i visit my mom, we often watch a late-night episode of Criminal Minds, and every single time Dr. Spencer Reid is first shown in a scene, my mom will say; "he reminds me of you. you should find a guy like that", and if there is a double-episode, she will say the exact same thing 45 minutes later.

i don't mind tho, because she likes Dr. Spencer Reid, and so do i. he's smart, cute and handsome imo.

It's on CBS so I figure it's horrible. I'm a fan of Stephen Fry, despite how he can be insufferable at times, and was disappointed when I heard he was in it. I will be really disappointed if it turns out he left QI for it.

My mom is the same way. One of my friends is such a huge fan of Criminal Minds that she gave her son "Reid" as a middle name.

Well, as a Minnesotan, if I were to design a Minnesota style pizza, it would be this. Regular dough. Cream of mushroom as the sauce. A mix of mozzarella and american cheese. Unseasoned ground beef. Mixed vegetables including small cuts of green beans, corn, peas, small cubed carrots, and topped with tator tots.

And now I want to make this and eat it and post it in the anti-food porn thread.
