    every single day of my life someone compares me to Sheldon Cooper or Phoebe from Friends depending on what gender they think I am and I refuse to learn who these characters are

      As someone who has been on the same room while my parents watched friends growing up, Phoebe is actually pretty based

        Phoebe's background was that of an anarchist crust punk in the text of the show. It's often played for laughs/mockery but she's unintentionally and unironically the only one that seems like someone I would actually hang out with.

        I grew up with family obsessed with friends I think I've seen every episode. It's a garbage show with garbage politics and even worse writing somehow but Phoebe at least has some redeeming qualities even if the show is trying to mock them.

    This is the most "ok boomer" thing I've read in a long time. :grillman:

    Never seen the spinoff, but the original was absolutely unbearable. I don't know how people watch it without dying internally.

        There's a big bang theory clip with the laugh track cut out and it's unnerving to the point of becoming funny with the long, awkward pauses in the dialogue where they just stare vacantly into space in complete silence after saying something terrible to leave room for the laugh track to be edited in in post.

          Not trying to defend it or anything, but this is true for any show with a laugh track. Its directed and edited with the track in mind, so it's no surprise that something feels off when it's taken away. It'd be like criticizing an action film for being flat without the tense soundtrack

            This is more of a Garfield minus Garfield situation where taking it away turns something that's aggressively unfunny into surreal antihumor.
