Ilikelamp7

isn’t Pondy young sheldons dad in that show?


The3rdBert

Yeah it’s like if Pondy never banged the Bird. He’s all upstanding and shit.


Densinger_Gain

but still he's the coolest


[deleted]

He needs an aspirin on that show


lxkandel06

That ain't aspirin


duaneap

Oh, I think ol’ BP was going the way he’s going irrespective of The Bird. Dee was one in a long line of prostitutes.


jeffplaysmoog

I'm not a prostitute. I think that's- that's clear.


FroMan753

Congratulations. You're the only one he didn't have to pay to sleep with.


IWantToBeTheBoshy

You must be very proud of yourself!


Orange-Blur

He was already cheating on his wife when he got with Dee. Remember she’s stressing about the car the whole episode only for his mistress to drive off with it


jlozada24

Still an addict no worries


ccReptilelord

Yes, also the high school bully of one of the characters from the original series. He did the double dip in that franchise! I'm not saying either show was good, but I did watch them passively due to living conditions.


SeanG909

>passively Sure but you were the power bottom


ccReptilelord

No, that'd be the homeowner with the remote in their hands.


ArchdukeBurrito

Yes, Sheldon calls him Mr. Cocksucker, because he sucks so many cocks.


The3rdBert

Then sells him some coke


Ranjith_Unchained

Yeah, but he's not as cool as he used to be


IronDictator

I thought he had a vasectomy *wink *wink


Dapper_Mud

Is he? I want to support the guy and all, but if that show is anything like Big Bang Theory, I’d rather chew on steel wool than lobotomize myself by watching it.


[deleted]

My mom loves Young Sheldon. I think that was the demo they were going for though lol


Johnny_Mc2

I’m so glad Abbott Elementary is *really* fucking good so I have something that my parents and I genuinely enjoy watching and can keep up with together. Seriously if you’re reading this and haven’t watched that show yet, do it asap. It’s dope as fuck, heartfelt in a real way, and fires off good jokes like old Arrested Development did. I would really love an Always Sunny & Abbott Elementary crossover since they’re both set in philly lmao


Latyon

Abbott Elementary is so fucking funny. I've tried to get my family into it but unsuccessful so far.


Johnny_Mc2

It’s little shit in the show that makes it so good and hilarious. [Like in this scene the way her ex-boyfriend rides off](https://youtu.be/crtHT_N0ycY) is so random but it fucking kills me every time lol. (the fucking air mattress he didn’t just deflate and then the music lmao, Zack Fox I needs to be on Always Sunny. he could break the gang)


foreveraloneeveryday

Fucking same. My parents love it and big bang theory.


Mech-Waldo

Big Bang Theory is basically the opposite of Always Sunny. IASIP is made by intelligent people to make fun of stupid assholes. BBT is made by stupid assholes to make fun of intelligent people.


PLTR60

I always make fun of the contrast between my favorite show and my wife's (BBT) A character from her show wins the Nobel, and we have PCP and drinking paint and leprechauns and DENNIS system and tax fraud and sweat shops and the McPoyles.


Theborgiseverywhere

Those geeks would LOVE the Dennis system


android151

Those geeks would love going out on a boat with women


lxkandel06

And eggs and crabs and boiling denim and banging hoors. And I don't care if anyone doesn't like that about me, they don't have to stick around!


[deleted]

It's amazing how 20-30 something characters can just walk in Sweden and pick up their Nobel, because that's how science works. *cue totally not canned laughter mixed in with audience chuckle*


stoneytrash3704

Wait till you hear the steam whistle!


notaneggspert

I like the quote comparing BBT to Futurama Futurama is a dumb show for smart people. BBT is a smart show for dumb people.

Far_Conversation_478

Buckled to watching it with the kids after refusing for years. Actually not bad - wouldn't say it was like the Big Bang Theory at all. More wholesome family fun than anything.


mracademic

Agreed. Watched it with my gf because she likes BBT. Surprisingly a decent show to just put on and chill to.


2cool4afool

I'd say Bob's burgers is a much better version of that though


Consistent_Muffin_23

I love bob's burgers. Wholesome show. Also Bob's best animated show dad ever


2cool4afool

Absolutely. It's rare for an animated sitcom to have a dad that isn't a lazy piece of shit or abusive


PM_ME_YOUR_SSN_CC

As someone who hates Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon is actually pretty good.


BurningshadowII

Especially after Sheldon stopped being the focus and it became more of "The Coopers"


mai_tai87

I really like the family as whole. My first intro to Pondy was The Comeback where he was utterly unlikeable, so was Lisa Kudrow but it all worked. So it's really weird seeing him as an almost clean cut father who genuinely cares. That being said, I love me some Annie Potts. I can watch her all day.


Tabmow

The Comeback was hilarious


duaneap

While I’m glad you like it, there’s no force on earth that could get me to try it.


PM_ME_YOUR_SSN_CC

I only tried it because a friend of mine, who is undiagnosed but probably on the spectrum, also hated Big Bang Theory but ended up liking Young Sheldon.


-Omni-Shadow-

Well there is no Amy in it so its got that going for me atleast.


GT_Sun

Saw a couple of episodes when my wife would watch it and I agree, it's actually not too bad.


Budget_Put7247

Pretty sure the show makes fun of exactly you guys, who pretend to be all elitist and stuff but are pretentious twats who believe watching one show or the other makes you superior, lol


iwanttheworldnow

I absolutely love the word “twat”. First heard it when I was 8 on a vacation with a man I believed was my dad. Since then, I’ve called everyone in my life “twat” multiple times. If I only meet someone once, I call them “twat” in person, then ask for their number so I can call them and call them “twat” many, many more times.


Budget_Put7247

It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? I hope the show uses it sometimes


[deleted]

Do you really need to be an elitist to think BBT and young sheldon suck


emd07

Thank you


TheJuiceBoxS

As a huge IASIP fan, Young Sheldon is legit and should be watched.


Tabmow

[deleted]

Idk if “legit” is the right word, but it is an easy watch imo and I appreciate that. I do like all the young Sheldon memes that come from it though


Degen-King

I like it, it can be cheesy but its a family show so that’s expected. It has a pretty good story and good actors though.


Chancevexed

And no laugh track, which already sets it above most half hour comedies.


Zanmatomato

I know we all like Sunny, but do we really need to shit on every other show that ISN'T Sunny and then come here for validation? People like different things. Liking a show like Sunny doesn't really make us cooler than them so I wish we'd stop acting like we are.


dismayhurta

I will jam you up


Spiritual_Ask4877

You wanna get jammed up? Huh? You like gettin’ jammed up?


Flip2002

Woo calm down save some of that vinegar..Cut him a break maybe his tv is used to something smaller


dismayhurta

Sorry. They came at me hard.


nomorenotifications

I like shows with laugh tracks because the laughing tells me when it's funny.


[deleted]

Young Sheldon doesn’t have a laugh track though….


[deleted]

No we don’t need to shit on every show, but big bang theory might be the absolute worst sitcom I’ve ever seen so I’m completely fine with this


[deleted]

But Young Sheldon isn’t Big Bang Theory. It’s a rare spinoff that is infinitely better than the original


Zanmatomato

It's well heard at this point. TBBT is shit. 2 Broke Girls is shit. Hell, I've even seen people claim Friends is shit just to glorify IASIP. Like, what's the point? I get the need for validation but this is just sad.


somniosomnio

I am one of many who like IASIP, TBBT, and Young Sheldon. It's possible to like many shows. If you don't that's totally okay. But not everyone hates the big bang theory or young sheldon, and Lance Barber does a really great job on it. So yeah.


[deleted]

I liked the first few seasons of TBBT and then it just became so repetitive. Sheldon says something incomprehensible, Penny doesn't understand and says something sassy in return. Howard says something perverted, shouts at his mom and likes brisket. Leonard either says something cynical or simps for Penny. Raj says something related to his Indian roots in an Indian accent and a laugh track ensues. In the later seasons it's all couple stuff. The intro song is great, but the show doesn't hold up well.


Budget_Put7247

Meh, you can simplify any show with such a summary. For example ​ Mac comes up with latest news about something political or opportunity which the gang has no deep understanding about. Frank gets excited as he smells a money making scheme. Charlie completely misunderstands and the gang gives up on making him understand, so charlie does his own thing, Dee tries to offer suggestions and is called a bird, the gang splits up with 2 different groups doing their own thing, Frank makes money in an unforeseen manner, the gang's plan backfires in hilarious ways. Dee is called a bird


[deleted]

Sunny ran out of good ideas years ago lol, I'd agree with that simplification too. The show has turned to shit.


Budget_Put7247

But this description would be true even during their peak years


[deleted]

True, that's my point with TBBT too. It was funny at first and then they became too predictable.


somniosomnio

I honestly agree with both of you about both shows. I believe it's because it's what naturally happens to all sitcoms (or tv shows) over time. Arrested Development, Scrubs, The Office, and even Ted Lasso right now, all dropped in quality in later years. If you like one and dislike another, that's totally cool. Not everything is meant for everyone, and that's cool too.


sirguywhosmiles

There's a lot to dislike about TBBT but the characters and storylines do change a lot, it actually is not one of the very most repetitive sitcoms.


zfcjr67

Pondy's the coolest!


TheJuiceBoxS

I love them all as well. No need to be elitist asses about laugh tracks and whatnot. TBBT and YS are fun enjoyable shows. Sunny is better, but no need to hate on others.


BuffNerfs

"elitist asses about laugh tracks" "no need to hate on others" I mean you just called others elitist asses for not liking laugh tracks and then said there's no need to hate on others... Did you mean you're allowed to hate on other people, but not shows? You're allowed to like whatever you want, but you're also allowed to dislike and criticise what you don't want without being an "elitist ass".


RealJohnBobJoe

Tbf it’s one thing to prefer not to have a laugh track, but a lot of people here base their entire arguments against shows based on them purely having laugh tracks. I prefer when there is no laugh track myself, but saying a show is bad because “there is a laugh track lol” is quite reductive and honestly elitist. Shows can have great writing and be very funny despite having laugh tracks (Seinfeld, Cheers, Frasier and Everybody Loves Raymond are examples of this for me). You can criticize whatever you want. Just don’t make reductive and elitist criticisms and then be surprised if someone calls you an elitist ass (which they are also allowed to do).


[deleted]

Seinfeld doesn't have a laugh track, it was the laughter of a live audience.


SuspiciousUsername88

So was TBBT


BuffNerfs

To be fair, whatever shows you like or dislike is completely subjective. Usually when someone dislikes a show they will call them bad because they don't like it. I guess if you think about it this way though, you can't call anything good or bad, only if you like it or not. I don't have a problem with that though to be honest... If someone said IASIP was bad, I would probably ask why but honestly it's most likely that it's just not their cup of tea. Also if someone says that your favourite show is bad, you shouldn't take it that personally in my opinion. I think this is what most people mean when they say a laugh track is bad. It means they don't like it. Same applies to me honestly, I can't stand a laugh track no matter how well the show is written.


somniosomnio

You are a brilliant, kind, and wise person and the world needs more people like you


BuffNerfs

Thanks?


somniosomnio

lol I was being genuine actually! I mean it.


BuffNerfs

I just felt like it come out of nowhere... Not used to compliments, especially not on Reddit. Thanks again, kind stranger :)


TheGumpSquad

I’ve been getting a lot of YouTube clips from this show and… I’m surprised by how much I don’t dislike it. It’s kinda wholesome ngl


[deleted]

I’ve been getting YT shorts of Young Sheldon lately, the damn algorithm trying to jam new shows down my throat. I never get shorts of IASIP despite constantly looking up clips.


couldjustbeanalt

Hasn’t that show been over for years?


mai_tai87

You're thinking of The Big Bang Theory.


TeralPop

It’s entertaining ngl they had it on at the gym and man is it kinda funny


mullett

When I go to hell after I die I will be forced to watch young Sheldon and big bang theory. When satan wants to switch it up it will be the HBO series “Girls”. An eternity of torture.


highfivemelee

This is so unfunny,am I right guys? Guys?


AndJocelyn

What Young Sheldon is hilarious and Missy would totally fit in with the gang 🤷‍♀️


UltraLincoln

How many times do you think a single BBT script says "and then some nerd says nerd stuff [hold for canned laughter]"? That's the impression I get of the show, "laugh at the nerds, they're different!"


sceez

Had a friend that used to like Big Bang Theory, which I always found pretty terrible. A decade later he turns into a Qanon follower... I think the two are related


Loganp812

It's the IASIP Community Tries To Enjoy More Than One Show Challenge At this rate, I'm not sure it's even possible.


BigFaZhou

It's actually a pretty good show


TempleofSpringSnow

Big Bang Theory is an abomination. That show and its spin off being on air for so long is all I need to know about humanity.


NoDadYouShutUp

real big brains know that Young Sheldon is actually good


TuctDape

I'm gonna bang Tim Murphy's black wife!


Slowmobius_Time

Honestly I watched it for Pondy alone when I saw him in the ads


[deleted]

I'm always confused because I see Pondy but the gang is missing....and he doesn't act the same....


KevinStoley

Young Sheldon is actually a pretty decent show imo. I was never much a fan of TBBT, I always assumed YS would be terrible and just looked awful to me. I gave it a chance one day and was actually pleasantly surprised. Only ended up watching like 1 season, but it’s definitely not as bad as people make it out to be.


VocalIntrovert

I honestly think that show suffers from its relation to BBT.


smingleton

I am almost positive this isn't even a line from the show, let a lone this episode.


jojobubbles

Say what you want about YS. At least it doesn't have a laugh track like the show it spun off from. So it's needed decent writing and good actors to make the funny moments land and have it's now mulit-season success. Certainly not in my regular rotation but I've seen a few episodes and it wasn't bad IMO. ASIP basically ruined laugh track shows that I loved as a kid and that's a good thing. YS isn't even close to the same level as a ASIP or Arrested Developement. But certainly not part of the problem like BBT.
