      It's most cringe show I have seen. Even 12 seasons long it doesn't makes sense and it doesn't have a story they just stretched it to 12 seasons because of sheldon's popularity all episodes are only about sheldon then they tried to make him and Amy more human fir viewer's sympathy by making all other characters mean(like they did to Bernadette).
      The makers are jerk mainly bill Prady who think a lot of themselves and think other people are jokers.
      It's not funny because the jokes are forced on people by the makers not by laughter tracks but by calling it an intellectual show. It's in reality a dumb show that creates its image as intelligent and if we dont laugh along it we will be called dumb. But in reality neither the science nor jokes make sense even children who don't like science can call them fools.

    It's not even the lines being unfunny or the jokes being that bad, it's the fact that the delivery of each and every one (including those that weren't funny to begin with) is centered around the fact that there will be a laugh track there, so they don't need to actually have interesting pacing or delivery.

      @Phil Thomas There was indeed a live audience, but it's important to know, what audience that is and what is their mentality. There are videos on CZcams that will show you it consists mostly of superfans that are capable of laughing at anything. Most importantly, sitcomes (TBBT is no different) have a flashing signals in the studio that will basically tell the audience, when and how long they are suppose to laugh. Most of the laughs are way too short and simple to be genuine, thats how you know that a laugh track or signal was used to make a fake laugh. TBBT is filled with them.

    • @HardCR0W
      @HardCR0W Před 3 lety

      @Phil Thomas Sorry, but with a poor logic like this, you can try as much as you want, it won't really impress or affect me. Anyway, some facts for ya.
      There are not that many seats in the studio for the audience and superfans are that kind of people who are visiting the live show multiple times, if not every time they can, because they wanna see the show as soon as possible. So it's not really a case that everyone is buying their tickets, there is not that many active superfans compared to a huge passive audience in their home watching and not making a big deal out of it. There is a video about TBBT's live audience on CZcams, find it if you want. Still, laughs in the TBBT studio (like in the most sitcomes) are heavily supervised with signals as I already mentioned.
      TBBT was number only for a what, a year... Game of Thrones was much more popular one at that time. TBBT had its alltime best in 2016 (before it started going down again) which still wasn't enough to win over more succesful sitcomes like Seinfeld, or Home Improvement. However, calculating viewers is problematic, because you have to consider in what timeslot it aired and against what kind of programs. That's just some television stuff you should learn before you star arguing, it makes you look like a sad primitive... but considering you find TBBT funny, I understand.
      BTW, The Office because of Netflix became the most populat show ever... so I will praise them instead.

To your second attempt, you were the one who said "most watched thing on tv when it was running" which is not true... because you know... GoT is also a tv thing, silly. Or you are just mad that your 'virginity protector of nerds' wasn't as succesful as a 'fantasy rubbish'? Both cases make you look like a loser anyway. Nice try, tho... not really, I am clearly trollin' you more succesfuly (had no idea it's gonna be that easy).

      It's most cringe show I have seen. Even 12 seasons long it doesn't makes sense and it doesn't have a story they just stretched it to 12 seasons because of sheldon's popularity all episodes are only about sheldon then they tried to make him and Amy more human fir viewer's sympathy by making all other characters mean(like they did to Bernadette).
      The makers are jerk mainly bill Prady who think a lot of themselves and think other people are jokers.
      It's not funny because the jokes are forced on people by the makers not by laughter tracks but by calling it an intellectual show. It's in reality a dumb show that creates its image as intelligent and if we dont laugh along it we will be called dumb. But in reality neither the science nor jokes make sense even children who don't like science can call them fools.

    @grinderman911 Před rokem +5

    The problem here is that between scenes, in places where there used to be laughter, you have completely muted the sound and it seems extremely unnatural, because not only is there no laughter, but there is no sound at all. If there was a natural sound made by human beings (breathing, exhales, gruntings, step sounds, random noises), it would be much better than what you got here. Then again, these are sitcoms. Most of the series is recorded in the studio in front of a live audience. It is something like a theater play. This is how actors behave in theaters: they wait for the laughter to end. The fact that you have not attended live performances and do not know what it looks like is much sadder than the fact that you had to remove the laughter that was naturally present, because the audience is in the studio, just to take a crap on very nice comedy.

      It's most cringe show I have seen. Even 12 seasons long it doesn't makes sense and it doesn't have a story they just stretched it to 12 seasons because of sheldon's popularity all episodes are only about sheldon then they tried to make him and Amy more human fir viewer's sympathy by making all other characters mean(like they did to Bernadette).
      The makers are jerk mainly bill Prady who think a lot of themselves and think other people are jokers.
      It's not funny because the jokes are forced on people by the makers not by laughter tracks but by calling it an intellectual show. It's in reality a dumb show that creates its image as intelligent and if we dont laugh along it we will be called dumb. But in reality neither the science nor jokes make sense even children who don't like science can call them fools.

    I like it. My sorry ass wishes it were as easy as muting a few audio channels to get this effect, but since the laughs are in fact real and recorded live, there always some inevitable bleed into the actors' recording. So there's a lot of manual work required for each episode. CBS, or Warner, could probably do it though, as it's not just a matter of sound, but editing as well. Being a multi camera show, they could choose when not to hold on a character, and hide any long holds, or periods of silence, between cuts. I wish they would do that, because again, I like it a lot this way.
