is this still in the context of feeling condescended to by the show or are you making a separate point?
If humor feels condescending to you it is because it is being made at your expense
So obviously you have to think a certain way or have certain experiences or be a certain kind of person for the humor to not work on you, and this is an easy exercise to determine whether people are being laughed with or laughed at - whether they can identify with Joey reaching over to protect his sandwich from a bullet because good meatball sandwiches are heaven, or whether they can identify with the woman exasperated with Sheldon because he's denoting the specific gravity of the layers of his drink instead of paying attention to what she has to say.
There exists identity with the other side too: Chandler's exasperation and feeling that he was slighted by Joey when confronted with possible danger, and Sheldon's innocent fascination with natural complexities that make normal communication seem mundane and trivial. However, there can be a bias towards one side or the other, and if you find yourself unable to identify with a character in a humorous situation for too many sketches, they basically become a stooge.
What do you do when you see a stooge in reality? What if that stooge was a nerd?

Wait, so one of the reasons people hate BBT is because of the humour at the expense of the nerdiness of the characters, and that it is in effect making fun of them by proxy?
Dunno about anybody else, but I ain't give two shits at a joke made at my expense. I'd probably be laughing hardest of all, to be honest. Quit takin' yo'selves so seriously, mang...

I guess people take offense because they're bad jokes at their expense. Like shitty, predictable, one dimensional jokes about outdated stereotypes.
Not me though. I don't hate it because it's about nerds. I hate it because it's shit. The writing is godawful, the jokes are shit and it's really weakly performed.

Throw in some dots and it's playing real-life Snake.

because
it really just does look goofy
that's the only word to describe it

I'm just wondering why the fucking gator doesn't take a snap at the cat to tell it to cut that shit out.

But usually the loudest laugh happens when the stupidest jokes come up.
Just feels like it isn't for me.
i think it's a live audience
which is probably more depressing
Well at least it isn't Tosh.0

Maybe if it was like, anyone else, I could watch it.
