The Problem With The Big Bang Theory...

I’ve been meaning to post something about The Big Bang Theory for a while now but it’s taken me ‘till now to really understand what it is about the show that makes me uncomfortable. I’m not exactly a believer in the whole “only write about the things you like, don’t trash the things you don’t” trend which seems to be plaguing comments sections in negative articles lately, but I wanted to be able to really examine why I don’t like TBBT rather than just slagging it off. My main questions being - Why don’t I like this anymore? Why do I feel uncomfortable watching it? And why do I get so annoyed when I see people sing its praises online? The thing which really sparked this post was seeing a raft of comments on Facebook, below the last round of voting in Television Without Pity’s Tubey Awards, claiming The Big Bang Theory to be “the best comedy on TV”. This made me angry so instead of posting an impulsive comment calling out their bad taste which I’d probably regret later, I decided to really analyse why seeing comments like that made me so mad when previously, although I didn’t really love the show, I’d never considered myself as disliking The Big Bang Theory.

Hell, I even have season one on dvd, it’s sitting right between Battlestar Galactica and Bored To Death in my alphabetised collection.

And here, I think, is where my problem with The Big Bang Theory lies…

This absolutely represents my views on the show. I've only seen a couple of the first eps and all the Wil Wheaton ones. Can't stand it, or the laugh track.

File under: this would be funny if it weren’t so fucking sad.

Michigan House Republicans prohibited state Rep. Lisa Brown (D) from speaking on the floor after she ended a speech against a bill restricting abortions by referencing her female anatomy, the Detroit News reports. Said Brown: “Finally, Mr. Speaker, I’m flattered that you’re all so interested in my vagina, but ‘no’ means ‘no.’” Republicans said Brown was “offensive” and wouldn’t allow her to voice her opinion on a school employee retirement bill. Responded Brown: “If I can’t say the word vagina, why are we legislating vaginas? What language should I use?”

So…. This happened.

The internet is responding by tweeting “VAGINA” or “VAGINAS” or any variation thereof to the Michigan House Republicans twitter @MIHouseRepublicans

The world has been made safe now From oceans to mountains so steep It’s time to put down your shield, captain And go the fuck to sleep. The hammers are all sitting still now And the bilchsteim make not a peep I don’t care that it’s daytime on Asgard This is Earth, and we fucking sleep. The spiders are safe in their webs now Their bites make no one else weep This is your official downtime Use it to fucking sleep. The bows have all been unstrung now The arrows have made their last leap I don’t care whose room you nest in Just go the fuck to sleep. The formulas have all been proven now The scanners are doing their sweep You know what I hear helps when you’re angry? Going the fuck to sleep. No more AIs hacking my system now No more damn machines that go beep So put down the soldering iron You can dream up reactors while you sleep. I know seventy years is a long time To be dozing way down in the deep But I know you’re tired, stop lying And go the fuck to sleep. The astrophysicists are stargazing Or would, if their attention you didn’t keep Who even taught you about skype sex Wait, I don’t care, just sleep. Tomorrow you can work on your ledger Tomorrow through corridors you can creep But tonight I really don’t need you Get the fuck off the bridge and sleep. The hawks tuck under their wings now The little chicks no longer cheep You want me to stop making bird puns? Go the fuck to sleep. The monitors dim their glow now And the data is piled in a heap Yes, fine, we’ll move a cot to the lab If you promise to just fucking sleep. The helicarrier moves quietly now And aboard no one makes even a peep Oh shit, what the fuck, Stark Get back to your room and sleep!
