    I have always found the concept of littering bizzare. And not from a “do what is right” perspective.

    “Do you not understand that it will be there basically your entire life, unless someone picks it up!? Every time you walk by, you will see that wrapper you just threw on the ground for months and years. You have pockets!”

      I enjoyed it. Watched it randomly on TV every time it happened to run, and even rewatched all seasons in order a few years ago.

      I’m an autistic nerd, so their setting is interesting to me, and I find the parody of the nerd scene on point. The humor is enough to make me laugh, although not a masterpiece, so overall decent series to watch.

        IT Crowd is geek culture done right; you laugh with them.

        Big Bang Theiry is geek/nerd blackface; you laugh at them.

        Explain what marketing tactic they used, that made the show last 12 seasons, but doesn’t work on 99% of other shows which get cancelled long before that

    I do this, but that doesn’t make me a gentleman. It’s just that people who litter are absolute fucking savages. Raised by wolves. Complete anarchists.

      I’m autistic and I like the big bang theory.

      In sitcoms, everything is the punchline. That’s sort of the point of them. They take things to extremes for the sake of humor. I find shit like Good Doctor to be way more fucking insulting than an exaggeration of me and my friends. I can 100% be Sheldon at times, especially when it comes to Star Trek.

      Autism and nerdculture isn’t the punchline. Everyone who worked on the show was nerdy as hell. It’s the set up. The punchline is stereotype.

        I do think some of the jokes are a little (or very) questionable, but it’s rarely the ones targeting nerds. I’m also autistic and also like it, even if it’s far from perfect.

    I’m always amazed that people actually throw stuff into the ground. Like why? There’s enough trashcan and is it really bad enough to take up your hands for you to even consider the possibility to throw it into the ground?

    People making tiny inconveniences for themselves instead of imposing them on everyone else is the essence of civilization.
