The Big Bang Theory pisses me off to no end. Its like every episode is personally slapping me in the face with its stereotypes of geeks straight out of the 80's.

I hate it when people say BBT has smart humor.
Go watch Arrested Development, you dong.

The Big Bang Theory has low quality. Is this even arguable?

I always thought it was an undeniable fact, to be honest.

at dinner my brother always puts on scrubs and/or friends. They're both ok, but scrubs makes me laugh more. And the inner monologues/narritive moral of the episode are a brilliant idea.
-
Just like friends. Which i'm sure you also hate.
That came across alot oh yeahish and dickish than i intended.
But i'm just kinda shocked that anyone could consider big bang theory the WORST thing on television. I'm mean i can see how you dont like it, and how it could irk you that people refer to it as "smart" comedy when it's not really. But objectivley speaking it's one of those "for everybody" shows that might not catch your fancy like friends, scrubs, everybody loves raymond, etc etc and can be a bit bland at times, but i just can't see it as the worst.
But then again maybe you do and i shouldn't be all anal about this anyhow. Carry on
-
Friends and Scrubs are great. They don't have awful stereotypes and don't use the same jokes all the time.
-
Can't say that i ever even spent a single thought on stereotypes in the show.
Not saying it isnt, it's just not something i'd think twice about.
And out of curiousity which is the joke you feel they're running into the ground?
-
Eh, I almost never watch television, but…
Lost for best TV show.
Family Guy and Cleveland Show for worst.
-
And out of curiousity which is the joke you feel they're running into the ground?
Its a show about total geeks that worship Leonard Nimoy and dress up as comic books characters for Halloween and are completely socially inept otherwise! But they DO happen to have a really hot female friend!
Its like all the worst aspects of a Kevin Smith film as an ongoing series.
But my mother apparently loves the show, so I can't speak too ill of it, I guess.
-
That's the premise tho, not the jokes.
And as for stereotypes ruining a show, scrubs for instance is about a ditzy spoiled blond, a funky cool black dude, the spicy latina and a nerdy white guy hanging out with a bunch of other stereotypes (dumb as bricks jock, Jerk with a heart of gold, the bastard boss, the unbelivably stereotypical black lady in the reception etc etc) that happen to work at a hospital. I just dont see how that is any less stereotypical.
I mean it's the characters themselves and how they interact/their on stage chemistry that i like not whatever stereotype they set out from. So i just can't see this it's built on an offensive to nerds (i guess?) foundation is anything to base dislike on. But yeah i guess somethings just rubs you the wrong way, i'm the same with two and a half men so i really shouldnt be jamming on about this. But c'est la vie.

Ah, Avatar nominations are open. I guess I should unleash this then.

Can I nominate KI for creating my butterflizen sig, or does it have to be the person who wore it?
Edit: Robby, that's excellent.

Dangit! I just had to have Vexen in my sig while we're voting for best sig.

Best Avatar goes to Insider2000's standard Zoicite and Friends avatar. It has like… become Insider. :D I'll edit it in to this post once I find it, but I'm sure somebody knows what I am talking about.
Finding my avatar was one of those things that I was like, "I'll definitely remember to do it." And now it's like, "I can't do it because I can't access my old laptop at the moment, why didn't I do it earlier?"
I'll post my avatar in my sig. Especially since I fully intend to start anew with it.
-
Robby, you left Freddie Mercury out of your avatar, disappoint. It's still 95% awesome though I guess.

The Mentalist.
ohgodplease. -
Is it really ok to nominate signatures that brake forum rules? (sig size must me less then 100kb) Just sayin'. I mean I could undestand 200kb, but 2mb? Alot of us browse AP on the phone at work/school.

So long as the mods are allowing it, I will.

It was in there, but I had to get the file size down somehow. As is I added a black bar and dropped the quality significantly, and had to leave out the refrains. It was either Freddy or X-Files, and Freddy is black and white which goes against the rainbow-ish colorful theme I was shooting for.
And X-Files is new and promised me a vote.

Which sig would that be thats so oversized?
EDIT: Oh, I see it. Kaiolino, your sig is a big on the large filesize wise. Could you do something about that? Crop it, shrink it, take out frames, lower the quality or something? 2.8 meg is a bit too much.

Pretty great. But I'm still leaning towards to the other one because your avatar doesn't have any Hugh Laurie:( We'll see how the campaigns convince me.
Still leave it up to you to come up with such a great rival on the fly.
-
Thanks for the nomination for my ava Chris!
I like it when it rains money

The butterfly is named Hugh.

If you add his face on the butterfly, I'll die laughing.
And you are welcome boss~!

Hahahaha, oh man. Okay now I'm on the fence just for making me lol so hard.

Hahahaha!!!! Does he have time to change that? Because if he did that, it would have my undying support.

This is the avatar I wanted to use, but didn't work for some reason.
Well, it wouldn't have been able to beat Robby anyway and I also got a nom for best sig, which is awesome.

Looks like it works to me. Its a bit innapropriate tho (I know she's miming staking a vampire, but…) so don't keep it up there for too long. Maybe just till the end of this contest.
Well, it wouldn't have been able to beat Robby anyway and I also got a nom for best sig, which is awesome.
Again, anything you can do about the file size on that sig?

All the guys I wanted in are already nominated so I could nominate that for you if you want.

I resized it through Imageshack, but when I try to save it as an avatar, it says "invalid file".

Kaiolino, how does it feel to be loved?

It feels wonderful.

It feels wonderful.
I'm glad it's something you dig, but still is the matter of your sig being much too big.

I'm trying to resize it, but for the time being I'll just leave it as a link.
And I'm going back to Jeff Winger after the contest is over.
EDIT:
Well, I hope this is better for everyone. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I actually like it better this way.
