New HTML/CSS rolled out two weeks ago. Be sure to check out the new mobile-optimized layout for phones, and inline extension features.

We also added two new themes (first time in 4.5 years!). Thanks to seaweed for porting them over from OneeChan!

We are still working through a few bugs with the new code. Please report any bugs you find to newhtml@4chan.org.

American television is shit.

Breaking Bad is an overrated trash. GoT is good only because the source material is also good.

"Hey Leonard..."
>The audience giggles.
"Hey Sheldon."
>Small laughs rise in anticipation.
"I've got a hangover bigger than the original X-Box..."
>There is silence. The set goes black. One lone face appears, illuminated by candlelight. It looks upwards, towards an unknowable heaven, and an even more mysterious Lord. The fifth Horseman, Comedy, rides rough over the plains, and trumpets the true end. Somewhere, a child is born, and does not cry, but instead laughs. A man on trial for murder laughs as the prosecution delivers expert testimony; the judge, while in the middle of chastising him, laughs as well. As does the family of the victim, and then the entire court. The victim, long dead and stiff with cold, laughs, muffled by the confines of the morgue shelf they are in. They are joined by many more muffled laughs. If they are alive, if only for one second, it is to laugh, and nothing more. A new constellation forms in the sky, and it forms the letters L, O, and L. Brighter than the moon, they shine down upon all providence, and all who see it know what makes the world. Not pain, or cold reason, but laughter. Pure laughter.

>Hey, Sheldon!
The air thins as the audience, mouths agape, fill their lungs. The slow, steady, whispering wave of anticipation crashes across the room.
>Guess what arrived in the mail today!
The audience trembles, agony pumping through veins bulging out of sweaty, twitching faces. The Grim Reaper laughs maniacally watching their lungs heave and bulge, yet unwilling to unleash invisible wind carnage upon the black, fraying wings of out-cast stand-up comeidians from Hell's open-mic coffee lounge.
>What?
They don't even wait for the pathetic abortion of a punch-line promised by the banter on-stage. The audience erupts; a malestrom of blood, piss and feces rushes from the stands and propels the entire studio into orbit. From their new vantage, the methane released from the warbling asses of the convulsing audience members who survived the trip--shrieking, inhuman creatures who now flail uncontrollably amidst the crisp corpses of strangers with smiles floating in the melting studio--shoot a death cloud which coats the atmosphere and hyper-accelerates the Greenhouse Effect. Humanity looks up to see their skies rent by an orbital shit-storm, red paint the plains and cold black descend from mountaintops to steal life from the planet. The atmosphere dissolves and anyone not yet broiled from within has their breath stolen away from a cold, rocky shell to drift through empty space.

I really don't understand why this show is popular. When I see autistic people like Sheldon in real life I am acutely embarrassed for them and everyone around them. They're not funny, they're awkward and disturbing.

This. The writers have no idea what they're talking about. The character traits are also inconsistent- Sheldon, given the immensely anal personality he has, is missing a bunch of real life knowledge that, given his behaviour, he should inherently have. I dropped it a long time ago, but I specifically remember there were episodes where the character's actions specifically contradicted their mentality- character is deferred in favour of the comedic effect at that point. Also, it is incredibly lucid that the writers are taking potshots at geek culture. Inherently, this is a show that laughs about the culture in a mocking fashion, tinted by the American public's generalisation of geeks. The show doesn't pander to geeks, it panders to the idiots who like to hate on geeks. "Oh look, they're so smart, but they're socially inept." Yes, society, that is totally how geeks are these days, what with regular, massive, social-based comic conventions and shit.

And then it becomes mainstream, and everybody starts spewing the same fucking joke, 9fag style, as if they're all edgy and cool. The problem isn't just with the show, it's also that the plebian masses who like to bleat the same notes together in order to be cool picked up on it.

And I mad? YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE I AM FUCKING PLATINUM MUKATSUKU.

They laugh at it because it's something they don't know about, so that means only nerds know about it, and that by extension means it's some super special nerd thing that normal people are supposed to laugh at.

Also, there's the laughter cue for the audience, which lets the audience know something funny happened and that they're supposed to laugh, and this is then recorded and broadcast to let home viewers also know that something funny happened and that they are also supposed to laugh.
>>
>>66295887
There is a laugh track.
They have an audience, and if they don't laugh hard enough they add some artificial one. If they don't laugh at all they light a "please laugh" sign up.

It's pathetic, I know.
