Big Bang theory has been the most thoroughly discussed shows of all time, people have researched on the countless sexist jokes, the treatment of people, the stereotyped behavior and more. Comedy is a selective art – people can interpret things differently. Here are the 10 jokes that have aged poorly from the Big Bang Theory.
- Girls aren’t nerds: in this show, the girls have almost no interest in the nerdy stuff that Sheldon does. The girls even have a stereotypical conversation about Thor’s body – proving this point ahead.
- Sheldon’s egg salad dialogue: this dialogue landed him up right with the HR, whereas in the real world, he would have landed up right out of the job.
- Penny being stupid: two smart guys with no common sense meet stupid but street smart Penny, and every episode is laughing at her, and about her.
- Guys are womanizers: these guys got bullied all their lives and yet don’t know how to treat a woman better. Penny calls Howard out for his behavior and yet later apologies for having hurt his feelings.
- Raj and Howard: they grow from friends to brothers, and then potential lovers where they almost make out with each other – and then recall it in horror. So this was a terrible joke.
- Sheldon is extremely mean: science geniuses are people without social skills, which is the exact definition of Sheldon. Constantly insulting Howard, and treating Amy badly are terrible things to do!
- Raj’s loneliness: the writers were so content keeping him lonely, that they literally made a joke out of him!
- Howard is a creep : Absolute lewd comments came from him, at all times.
- Amy’s been deliberately portrayed ugly: she dresses shabbily, and she’s the male version of Sheldon. We get it. But she too fell victim to the writer’s poor way of portraying female characters.
- Texas’s stereotypes: there have been instances where Sheldon is obsessed with football, and his ability to rip into people are just Texas things!
