Whenever I ask people why they like Two and a Half Men they never have a real good reason for doing so. Big Bang Theory I get the "Nerd Humor" line, but I just don't see it. I do like How I met Your Mother though, because it has NPH.

Two and Half Men, I've watched it its moderately funny, but I think most people watch it for Charlie Sheen. And that's about it. I mean the show's alternate title in most countires is "My Cool Uncle Charlie". No serious, check that shit out.
How I met Your Mother is pretty funny too, especially with NPH. But I think the show is getting tired. I want canceled so we see Dr Horrible 2.
And Big Bang Theory, Community's timeslot rival. The show has an extra two years on Community. I think nerd humor goes pretty far with people. For geeks and nerds its their lime light in main stream, while the main stream can have their guilty pleasures. I think the show is well written outside of the Amy Fueler Fowler… Ugh.

…why does Annie deserve to burn in hell?
Read again. Not Annie should burn in hell but the pairing JeffxAnnie. Just because I don't like them together. As a couple. As a love thing.
They're good characters, I just don't like them in a love affair thing, that just doesn't appeal to me.I don't like Big Bang Theory. I tried to watch it a few times and everytime I end up not laughing or even smiling once. Dunno, perhaps I'm not nerdy enough to understand the humour?… And I hate the german voices for... what's their name? Let's just summarize it with: I don't like the german voices of the guys.
HIMYM I don't really like either. I watched many episodes and I still watch it, trying to figure out what's good about it. But most characters, especially Barney, are going on my nerves. But at least that's a show where I can sometimes laugh about jokes.
2 1/2 Man is a show, where you can sometimes smile or even laugh if you watch the Episode for the first time. After that it just gets lame. And it just gets boring if you watch more than 20 episodes, cause it's pretty much the same jokes, repeated over and over again.

Okay, I'm declaring it now: the last episode was definitely the funniest episode of the whole second season for me. I've watched it again and again and it's still as funny the first time. It's quite possibly the most expensive clip show ever, I really admire their dedication for this, most of them putting on their costumes with all the props just for several seconds of one line, then that's it. And really, the amount of variation that each can be used for an entire episode, they're really brimming on with creativity. But not only was it a creative meta take on clip show episodes, the episode was just flat out funny. I don't know which one is the funniest, Dean's random costumes complete with puns, his cartoon at the end, the very unsubtle jab towards youtube shippers, Abed's Cape antics, Jeff's continuing speech…just amazing. Even the individual lines are golden, like Pierce's "I am a living God!" or Jeff's "It's a locomotive than runs on US!". Superb.
Oh, btw, it's definitely HIMYM > TBBT > 2.5 Men for me. HIMYM wasn't as funny as it used to be but it can produce some good episodes from time to time, there was a point where TBBT was genuinely funny and interesting but the moment is gone, 2.5 Men is never really funny for me. The current Thursday night lineup of Archer + 30 Rock + Community + Parks and Recreation is really much better than them too.
-
I was reading the GAF thread on Community (they love the show) and I learned the JeffXAnnie montage was a parody of an actual YouTube video that took similar shots, slowed them down, and played the same song.
Nobody is safe.
-
Double Post? How did this happen? Bah!
-
It's weird that the post merger fails like this..
-
I like the fact that Chang's figure on the project was looking through the window.
-
HIMYM seasons 1-3 I think were on par with community. never got into TBBT or 2.5 men so i can't say. And the jeff/britta relationship i feel was hinted at a while ago.
-
Okay, I might've been a bit hard on last weeks episode. After re-watching it… I feel in love with it.
-
HIMYM S1-3 are great. S6 has been hit and miss (but mostly hit) and NPH is bar none best supporting actor on the comedy side of television this season. If he doesn't get the Emmy this year, it'll be a complete snub.
BBT and 2.5 Men are terrible though. No redeemable qualities whatsoever.
-
I haven't seen any of the latest season of BBT, has it really gotten that bad? I know it's been slowly shifting into a Two and a Half Men clone though.
-
I've recently caught a few random eps of How I Met Your Mother, and while never having seen it before, I was still able to laugh at it. Big Bang Theory is insufferable to me, especially the main guy..Sheldon was his name? I get the geek comedy, but Sheldon's total asshole-ness outshines eveything. It's not even a Cartman or Peter Griffin asshole-ness, it's just rude to be rude and I can't stomach it.
-
The secondary characters in Two and a Half Men make it watchable for me.

The problem with Two and a Half Men is that it's insanely misogynistic and sexist. It's vile that it's not only so popular, but that people are willing to overlook its portrayal of women, gender roles, and where it derives most of its humor from. The fact that shows like Two and a Half Men can continue to exist in this day and age just shows how far we need to go as a society and how male-driven media still is.
And Big Bang Theory, Community's timeslot rival. The show has an extra two years on Community. I think nerd humor goes pretty far with people.

I hate Big Bang Theory because it's not a "nerd" show. It's a "this is what we think we have to do to look like a nerd show". It's the complete opposite. If anybody actually thinks they can relate to Big Bang Theory, they need their standards checked. Big Bang Theory is also a disgusting show by way of its premise. "They're (male) nerds and THEY'RE hot girls! Yeah!!!" I've never seen how it developed as a show, but I imagine no amount of characterization can bring it out of its own ass.
Withstanding the fact that both shows are insanely unfunny.
Both shows are by Chuck Lorre and both shows are bottom of the barrel.

@Holy:

I think a friend of mine summed it up best by calling Big Bang Theory a "Nerd Minstrel Show."
-
Oh man definitely
That is
The best possible summary.
-
Agreed, especially how hit and miss this season has been. Still better than season 5. Only episode worth watching was girls vs suits
-
So ridiculously psyched for Josh Holloway.
-
Holy fuck !

I just rewatched 2x07 and there are so many things in Abed's Robocop vision I didn't see before. Like the fact that he's gonna sell the group in the paintball sequel. Don't know what to make of that but it would be awesome if it was a real hint.

Dat outfit on Annie drool

Funny episode but I'm glad the baby wasn't Chang's. Favorite lines@Shirley:
"I don't want my baby's first memory to be Starburns"
,
@Vicki:
“Remember when they all took that fishing trip on St. Patrick’s day?"
@StarBurns:
“God that was a good week.”
@Troy:
“Indecent Proposal.” “Indecent Proposal.” “Woody.” “Demi.” “Nice.”
Promo for next week.
-
"I delivered a baby earlier this year in the back of an SUV"
"Where was I when that happened?"
"I don't know. In the background?"That was awesome.
Overall, it was better than last season's bottle episode. The end was actually really touching… which is lame.
-
Such a great episode.
It was really sweet overall, and I loved seeing Jeff and Brita's sweet side.
Also, the tag was so awesome.
Can't wait till next week!
-
"Please call andre, he's sugarboots in my phone"
troy: "That hurts shirley""Make your money whore"
Abed: "I delivered a baby earlier this year."
Troy: Where was i?"
Abed: "Idk somewhere in the background"Golden episode of community
-
so many wonderful lines. Abed was golden.
-
This is probably one of the most touching episodes I've ever seen. If it was the season finale, I think I would've been pretty happy with it.

Apparently, early on in this ep, in the anthropology classroom the fire alarm switch is pulled down.

What community college has $100,000 for a paintball game prize, damn.

The one that saved that money from the fire extinguishers of course.

I can see the game being one of Pierces schemes. hes the only one with that kind of money to just throw away

Hey guys, I've got to do a Kinetic Typography assignment where text move to a voice clip. I really want to do something from Community, but I can't think of anything good, any recommendations? Preferable something with only once voice.
EDIT: DONE!

HOLY SHIT!!!!! that was an amazing episode. cant wait for next week
-
Only thing I didn't like was Black Rider being eliminated by Pierce's fake-out. At least we got a "son of a bitch!" out of it I guess.

Yea I chuckle over that. Calling it now Pierce will be the Vegeta of Community

Loved this episode. They should just make Community Paintball: The TV Show . Can't wait for the second part.
