![]() From the apartments being fully decked out for the season, to Sheldon's hatred for almost all holidays, the best Big Bang Theory holiday episodes manage to feel like throwbacks to classic sitcom episodes while still featuring the smart and diverse humor that the series is known for. Whether it's a yearly Christmas episode the ends with the main characters cozying up around the Christmas tree, or a fun-filled Halloween episode that captures the best spooky feelings and makes you feel like a kid again, there's really nothing on TV like a classic holiday special.įor fans of The Big Bang Theory, the holiday episodes of the series have always felt truly special. Special thanks to Sarah Kramer, who not only introduced me to Community and made my life infinitely better, but also pointed out that The Big Bang Theory is sexist and racist and she is not down with that, and may or may not have had one of her emails slightly plagerised here.There's something about watching a holiday episode of your favorite TV show that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. You don’t have to listen to the Barenaked Ladies every time you watch it Abed and Troy – now that’s true love, and we’re all about the love here.ġ0. In contrast, Sheldon and Leonard have a relationship of dependency based on need rather than love. There is no way this relationship cannot thaw even the coldest of hearts. ![]() I would not like to be friends with anyone in The Big Bang Theory, for fear that they would steal my pocket protector, guffaw-snort laugh and then fall over their untied shoe laces before crying to their mum, whilst wearing some Spock ears. They’re all outsiders, and few of them are ‘normal’ in the way that The Big Bang Theory would like us to think of it (See: Penny). I would like to be friends with everyone in Community (except maybe Pierce). The Big Bang Theory uses references to things in pop culture as punch lines. There’s actual – *gasp*- writing involved. Community constantly pay homage to pop culture cleverly. The characters have a depth and personality that extends beyond the colour of their skin or the nature of their junk. All the characters have a different religion, which is often joked about but never trivialised. WOW! Big, sensitive issues like gender and race and all that stuff are handled with comedy – not ignored. Community has a crew of main characters, with more than one girl and more than one non-white person. She is blonde and hot and says stupid things. There’s one main girl in The Big Bang Theory. Of course, other shows use these stereotypes, but just because it happens it doesn’t make it okay. The guy of ethnic minority hams up his accent and is constantly stereotyped because of his race. The Big Bang Theory is, at best, Sainsbury’s own brand cola.īig Bang has one token guy of ethnic minority. LOLZ.’ Community is the Jean Paul Gualtier edition of Diet Coke. ![]() It’s not worth saying because it’s the equivalent of saying ‘I’m a massive bore. Say you like The Big Bang Theory and you will be unfollowed/deleted/alone forever/punched in the face. Say you like Community on your Twitter/Facebook/online dating profile/to someone’s face (what? Does that happen anymore?) and all of the above’s recipients will be mentally high-fiving you in the face. ![]() In Abed’s case, he is a some-time insensitive but always loveable cast member who makes up for his social misgivings by being… well, not a dickhead. In Sheldon’s case, he is a dickhead, yet he inexplicably has friends who he is nothing but unkind to. He’s streets ahead of any of the Big Bang characters (and if you have to ask, you’re streets behind).Īs already pointed out by Charlie, Abed and Sheldon both suffer from the similar conditions which make socialising difficult to the point of frustrating. ![]() You sound ridiculous.Įr, hello? Have you seen the Three Amigo s? Or Christmas Vacation (topical)? Alright, alright, so maybe he is leaving, but I think we need to take a moment to appreciate the wonder that is Pierce Hawthorne. We know that Charlie has waxed lyrical about this alrea dy, but it cannot be reiterated enough times: we are adults. This week’s What We’re Watching Wednesday is conclusive* evidence that Community is better than The Big Bang Theory. We just can’t let it go! The great Big Bang Theory debate rolls on. ![]()
