OMG! That's awesome! But I have to admit, when I first saw the title of this thread, I was expecting this:
LOL I think that's the Joke.
I liked the one that Joe posted, but I have to say that the one with Sheldon was extremely irritating. I rarely find much humor in that show anyway, and I think that I finally found out why. Canned laughter really grates on my nerves - it's like the show is telling us that we are too stupid to know what is funny, and so it is Hollywood's job to tell us when to laugh. Now, I do admit that Americans have gotten really stupid lately (inevitable when the Government runs "schools" - they must turn into indoctrination centers,) but most of the time that they run canned laughter for things that I do not think are funny.
Back in the 1950s America was at the top of the world in ratings in all academic categories. Now many of the third world nations have soared past us in most categories, and in every area our kids' scores are plummeting. We are pumping insane amounts of money into our education, but receiving horribly damaged products (our kid's education) for that money. The "education" establishment insists that we just need to put more money into their pockets, but home-schooling (and other experiments) continually shows that massively improved results can come with much lower funding. If you take your car to a mechanic and pay a lot of money and it comes back worse, do you keep throwing good money after bad? If competition improves the product (thus the reason for our anti-trust laws) then why do we trust the educrats when they say that competition is bad for education? I just really hate what our government is doing to our nation - including our kids. Since President Carter created the U.S. Department of Education, in 1980, there has not been a single improvement in any metric in our kids education.
I just really hate it when Hollywood says that we are too stupid to even know when to laugh, and that they must tell us when we should laugh. And this show seems to have more canned laughter than scripted conversation.
Okay, end of rant (for now!)

I really like The Big Bang Theory, but I do agree that Sheldon is annoying as hell sometimes....
