+298 The Big Bang Theory isn't intelligent humour, people just think it is because of the intelligent main characters and the random bits of useless information that precede each childish joke, amirite?

Still it's a funny show

It's definitely not intelligent humor, but for some reason I like it anyway. I know a lot of the Internet is pretty anti-BBT, though (I'm looking at you, Reddit).

Reddit is a hive mind of Gaben and Cats.

Very true. Gaben, cats, and "lol Rampart".

example: *Talking about the Wolowitz's zero gravity waste disposal system (space toilet)* Howard: Okay make your little jokes, but out of the 4 of us, I'm the only one who's making real world contribution to science and technology. Rajesh: He's right, this is an important achievement for 2 reasons. Number one ... and of course number two!

Intelligent or not, I laughed at that

Yeah, a lot of it I find stupid ( really hate Raj and Howard) but the parts with better actors are funny.

That's probably part of the appeal of it. People like it because they find the jokes funny, and they feel smart because they can understand the main plot points of a show they perceive as intelligent.

I think it can be occasionally witty and often hilarious. What constitutes as 'intelligent humour' anyway?

Something doesn't have to be "intelligent" to be funny, though.

I know that, but there are people in the world who believe that if you don't like it, it's because the jokes are too clever for you.

Oh yeah, and I agree with you. I like the show, but I wouldn't really call it "smart" either. Sorry I wasn't clear about that.
