My brother, my dad and I watched it together some 10+ years ago. I think people get too angry about it. Most sitcoms aren't really funny, BBT isn't unique. "Oh it has too much of a laugh track" they all do. I also think this idea that the show makes fun of nerd culture gets taken a little too far as well, for the same reason. The characters are sitcom characters. Name any sitcom and there will be dozens of youtube videos about how the characters are horrible to each other and don't make good decisions. If they were decent, rational people then there wouldn't be as much drama, so no show.
