I didn't like it.
It's for nerds that hate themselves.
I couldn't even complete one episode. It was so dumb.
It was fun for the first 4 to 5 seasons and after that I couldn't stand it anymore.
I tried to watch it around 2012 and couldn't stand it
My brother, my dad and I watched it together some 10+ years ago. I think people get too angry about it. Most sitcoms aren't really funny, BBT isn't unique. "Oh it has too much of a laugh track" they all do. I also think this idea that the show makes fun of nerd culture gets taken a little too far as well, for the same reason. The characters are sitcom characters. Name any sitcom and there will be dozens of youtube videos about how the characters are horrible to each other and don't make good decisions. If they were decent, rational people then there wouldn't be as much drama, so no show.
In our dub, they forgot put the canned laugh in the first seasson, you just hear silence when they make a pun, at that point i thought it would be a tragedy/comedy series in a sweat/bitter sabour. Then they put canned laugh and i leave
