Despite big ratings in the USA, the Big Bang Theory is widely accepted as one of the worst television sitcoms ever made.
Set in California, the show centres on five characters: Leonard and Sheldon (both physicists) who share an apartment. Penny, a cute waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall – and Leonard and Sheldon’s similarly geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers, Howard and Raj.
The show won 7 Emmys out of 46 nominations, and is particularly popular in the science community.
However, with the extremely nerdy inside jokes and relentless canned laughter – Australian audiences have never really taken to the TV series – and anyone who does enjoy it, keeps quiet.
That is except for Annabayleigh (29), the introverted fiancè of a prominent Betoota Ponds marijuana and MDMA dealer, Brock.
According to Brock’s regular customers, Annabayleigh doesn’t watch anything else.
After nearly 6 years of repeat business from hundreds in the town’s lowlifes in their shared living room, the aspiring beautician has not once looked up from the re-runs of all 276 episodes.
Local weekly ounce-smoker, Macca, says the only time he’s heard the misso talk was back in 2016 when Brock was drunk and accidentally kept standing in her line of vision while fishing out some buds from a vac-sealed bag of hooter.
“She loves that shit mate” says Macca.
“She never looks away from the 80 inch plasma”
“I doubt she’d know what any of us look like… She wouldn’t know who buys what”
“Probably a good tactic for when the Ds roll through.”
“Not that they’d believe her alibi that she’s spent the last 2190 days watching a low rent American comedy series non-stop”
“But yeah, it’s gotta happen any day now”
