    BBT is a weird one because it's a nerdy show for NOT nerdy people. There are clever bits, but the vast majority of the punchlines are "haha they said a nerdy thing" and that's it.

    Legit lines:

    "Sheldon? What are you doing?"

    "Playing super Mario Brothers on a poorly coded Nintendo 64 emulator"

    Laugh track

    Peak comedy.

    Never watched it!

    But I don't watch this type of comedy show anyhow.

    Actually I don’t either! But it was on a lot back in the day at my parents’ house in the middle of nowhere without cable/satellite TV.

    This is the reason why I didn't list it myself. My dad used to be obsessed with this show (I think mostly thirsting over Kaley Cuoco, just single middle-aged man things) so I was essentially forced to watch some of it just because it was always on.
