Watch it on youtube with the laugh track disabled, you’ll think it’s the dumbest show on Earth. Because it’s a really really bad show. The laugh track is the only thing that makes it work.

I agree. The Big Bang Theory was rather funny the first season or two. That’s when they concentrated on the geekiness of the characters. Now it’s almost like a soap opera with a laugh track.
The Big Bang Theory is taped before a live audience. They insist no laugh tracks are used. This makes me wonder if the audience is composed of gibbons wired to shock collars that prod them to laughter. A guy will walk into the room wordlessly and the audience will laugh. Virtually every sentence draws laughter. In order to believe an audience of grown-ups is that insipid, I defer to the gibbons explanation.
