    This may have been posted before, but proof that the Simpsons are better than Seinfeld.

    I always get the impression BBT is for people who know nerds, not the nerds themselves.

    That's another gpod interpretation.

    See, I don't watch many comedy sit-coms these days, but even when I did, I'd never say any of them were "hilarious." I might chuckle at some of the jokes, but as for being bust a gut hilarious ... nah. To me, the jokes on 99 percent of them are so obvious that you see them coming a mile away. And the whole too-hip "ironic" bullshit that's ubiquitous on modern day network sit-coms leaves me cold. Irony is best served in very, very small doses; it's a zero-sum game, as David Foster Wallace could have told you.

    I prefer my comedy dry and self-deprecating, Newhart style. It's why I always preferred Carson to Letterman.

    All that being said, however, I recently started watching Rules of Engagement, and I find the sarcasm to my liking.
