That is incredibly biased and opinionated.

Sheldon is my favorite, but Raj is also pretty funny.

I like Sheldon best, there would be no Big Bang Theory without him.

Have you seen the episode where Sheldon creates a robot version of himself with a computer moniter that has his face on it. That episode was hilarious.

Oh yes, I saw that a few times, it was hilarious xD

Gotta love Sheldon.

That was when he knocked on her door as the Flash.

No . . . The Big Bang Theory is the one that doesn't understand anything about nerd culture.

If you can, find away to remove the laugh track. There are pauses after perfectly normal phrases.

In one episode it's something like this:
"Hey Sheldon, what are you doing?"
"Playing a poorly coded N64 emulator."
*MASSIVE LAUGHTER*

Doesn't matter that it isn't funny, Sheldon said it in his monotone!

It isn't a laugh track, they're real people laughing as the show is filmed with a live audience.

There wasn't a better name for it, but I already knew that.

And the people are laughing at anything they don't understand. They don't know what a poorly coded emulator is? They heard Sheldon say it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bump

You do know that they have to re-record every scene that's supposed to be funny until people laugh, right? Even if it isn't funny, the audience has no choice but to laugh.

i'm pretty sure it's automated most of the time

No, it isn't. The audience isn't there for fun, they're there for a reason, which is to see how the humor in the show registers with viewers. They have to re-record each scene that's supposed to be funny until they laugh.
My dad went to see Two and a Half Men live when he went to California a few years ago, and he said that at one point Jon Cryer had said one of his lines that was supposed to be funny and the audience didn't laugh. They stopped recording and then the writer went onstage to tell him something. They continued recording, and when it was his turn to talk, he said the same thing rephrased and the audience laughed.

When a joke really isn't funny and the audience doesn't laugh (which is usually the case with unsuccessful shows that end up being cancelled), THAT'S when they use the automated laugh track.

I LOVE Sheldon. My favorite episode is the one with Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock.
