if they portrayed real life, it would be very boring let me see my day go to work come home eat take a shower go to bed wake up go to work come home eat take a shower go to bed wake up go to work come home eat take a shower go to bed wake up the weekend Opps weekend over wake up go to work can you spell boring thank god I am retired so I can have fun but had to have boring days to get there
Well, a lot of it is for entertainment purposes. Perhaps realism doesn’t create the stories that certain directors or those in power want to tell, so they have to make up scenarios that border on realistic and unrealistic.
many times, yes. but my life is plain and boring. exaggeration in TV shows make them much more interesting and better than reality. i drown in them. i worry about the character's problems instead of mine.
Wtf? That's the supposed unrealistic part you're cherry picking? I never watched the show cuz it's trash but just because you don't have someone filling you in like that dumbass doesn't mean other people don't. Man I was expecting a good example than that 🥱
@ravagesavage You're welcome to come up with your own examples, dude. I'd love to hear them. :)
The Big Bang Theory is entertainment. Kind of. For the first three seasons.
Reality isn't entertaining, which is why TV and Movies are different.
Reality TV is absolute trash. All of it. If it were up to me, I would hang them all. They're ruining our art and our culture at the same time.
Of course, some scripted shows are bad, too. For example, 2 Broke Girls. And Desperate Housewives.
Oh, and if we're getting into cartoons, you can add Family Guy to the list.
I feel like Family Guy went through a funny phase at one time. I like the one where Brian owes Stewie money.
If you think that’s bad, you should see some anime clips. The amount of unrealistic-ness is almost cringeworthy. Mainly in how the female characters behave.
Lmao. Good point.
Like, when do high school girls ever start randomly getting undressed and suck your finger?
It's not because he's nerdy. I'm suspecting he has Asperger's.
@PinkRose24 He does. :)
That's not true in my case. Like the old saying goes, if I had a dollar for every time I had to explain something to someone, I'd be a millionairess by now. I do it all the time here on GAG.
Okay; that's good. I'm glad you're kind enough to explain things to people.
I try to explain things to people but it doesn't normally help.
Probably because movie's never betray the real world they just make a Yes at how things should work or how they want them to work
Welcome to the reality lol. Movies are so good cuz they are imagination. We live in reality : ) which is a boring nation if it makes any sense lol
Yeah, many cartoons I grew up watching as a kid had certain anachronisms in them, I got pretty annoyed and disappointed when I discovered that some of these things are obsolete and don't exist anymore.
Yeah the whole show is an unrealistic fantasy. Like Kaley Cuoco couldn’t possibly find other human people to hang out other than these socially awkward people. I can’t take any of it seriously even though it is a comedy.
TV and movies always push unrealistic scenarios. Pandemics for example so the sheep fall for it when the government tries it in real life or show nukes going off to keep you scared which never actually happen in the real world so yea they are not worried about portraying bunch of nerds right on on Big Bang Theory.
Apparently, people think you can figure things out for yourself.
That's probably true! I wish they knew they were wrong! LOL
Yea like how on it part two the black kid was the only one who stayed that’s not realistic in reality any black person would’ve been the first to leave and he wouldn’t ever come back he lets meet up to fight that clown that tried to kill us as kids he would’ve said fuck y’all and saved everyone in that theater 2 hours
Explain why university professors and doctors live in a shitty flat and can't afford a proper house.
Because of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt...
They're postdocs, at least at the beginning of the series, and Pasadena isn't cheap.
I agree with @Subarugirl.
They're PHDs/researchers, not even instructors, and they all elected to work on fields that are pretty limited to academia. Any of them could have moved into commercially-applicable research and gone to work for public/private companies - but such companies expect actual results. Pay in academia is relatively low, but you also don't really have to accomplish anything, and there are high levels of benefits (relatively low amount of work hours, lots of vacation time, sick time, medical benefits, etc.).
Yes, they have to be mentally skilled and educated, but they live a relatively stress-free, easy life compared to most people, and as a result, the salary portion of their compensation is modest. You can bet that some of their classmates chose instead to maximize their incomes, and are making $300-500,000 a year or more working for a defense company, tech company, chemical company, space company, etc. The work hours are much longer and there are deadlines and expectations, but the pay is much higher to offset this.
Someone explaining something is way more realistic than say Bonds suit deflecting 7.62x39 without issues or submarines surfacing in plain daylight to attack a convoy while escorts are present.
Yeah my favorite explanation on that show was about gift giving: a non negotiable social convention
@Bethany22 Tell us more. Haha
I get real annoyed by how men act on sitcoms. Their usually always goofy and doofuses. While that goes with comedy these guys are usually acting in a way that’s more comedic to women than to men.
It's because of the double standard. Men don't get offended as easily. We can appreciate humor directed at our kind, while women can't; they take it personally.
Of course. But honestly I am sick of being a figurative universal whipping boy. If you are white and straight this gets even worse. It’s open season.
It's for entertainment sake no one wants to be entertained by realistic scenarios because then it'd be boring.
