"The Big Bang Theory" UNDESERVEDLY Reimagined as 'Firefly' crew

Oh, gross. Sanitize your bunks. I cannot abide by these useless people. These characters don’t deserve to wear Browncoats. They don’t deserve to be attacked by Reavers. They are unworthy, and whoever it is that’s wearing River Tam’s dress, take it off. TAKE IT OFF NOW.

You disgust me. “Community” is welcome on Captain Tightpants’ boat, but “Big Bang Theory” ain’t.

Not quite full-on Nerd Rage expressed there. More like Geek Contempt or Dork Aggravation.

Meh, This is more like faux-hipster vexation.

And Melissa Rauch would make a fine Kaylee Frye.

Fuck that right in the NO.

Call me when someone does the cast of 'My So Called Life' as 'Firefly', m'kay? Cause if anyone deserves to wear Jayne's hat, it's Jordan Catalano. And no one else.

The best way I've heard Big Bang Theory is that it's like Nerd Blackface. I apologize for the internet levels overinflating the issue with a racial term, but I found the description apt.

God I loathe you Dustin Douchebag! And community SUCKS! And if you're the one who lives in Upstate New York. I live in Syracuse and will kick you in the throat someday. BTW you should have gotten fired for single handedly getting Pajiba shut out of Sundance!

Seriously, TheOtherGreg , what the fuck does "faux hipster" even mean? That statement makes no goddamn sense.

Posted by: The Other Agent Johnson at February 21, 2012 9:48 PM

Everyone look out. Jen must be on her period.

Posted by: aroorda at February 21, 2012 10:04 PM

The mere lack of Zoe should stop this from even being relevant in the first place.

Posted by: Me at February 21, 2012 10:08 PM

BOOOOOOOO. Boo, I say.

Posted by: Blake Shrapnel at February 21, 2012 10:19 PM

Where is Zoe? This should not exist i agree. Only Jewel Staite is Kaylee no one else can wear her over-alls.

I am profoundly ashamed that I've seen enough involuntary five second clips of this show while flipping channels to even point this out ... but aren't the characters they molested into River and Simon a couple?

"The Big Bang Theory": It only pretends to be about nerds. It's really just incest propaganda.

The Community ones at least give the characters a slight match to personality, and/or match significant others to each other. This one seems to have just chose who was who at random.
Looks nice, but no thought was put in. Just like the show.

"The best way I've heard Big Bang Theory is that it's like Nerd Blackface."

It's just applying different situations to a template. The template is "People are horribly mean to each other, but for some reason still live near/ communicate with each other". Call it the "Chuck Lorre" template. Things work out like this:

In-Laws from different classes (template not perfected yet): Dharma and Greg
Brothers - Two and 1/2 Men
Nerds - Big Bang Theory
Fat People - Mike and Molly

Faux-hipster=hipster brought to you by mtv.

Hipster=two years behind elitists.

Elitist=know how to use the word irony correctly.

Posted by: googergieger at February 21, 2012 11:00 PM

No Zoe and no Book. Therefore, I can only assume The Big Bang Theory neither has a strong, confident female lead nor a wise, mysterious moral figure.

Or the show just has none of the personalities of Firefly and this was made with no thought whatsoever.

With those twig arms, the Jayne in this drawing could never lift Vera. And that's his very favorite gun.

Good gods, that photo makes no sense, none, zip, zero, zilch, nada, bupkis. It looks like someone threw all the names together and then drew them out of a hat. I'm amazed they managed to match genders, though Lenard would make a better Kaylee then he does a Simon. Now I have a headache. I need a lie down in my bunk, but not the good kind.

That lady ain't no Inara!

Ah, The Big Bang Theory, the reason laugh tracks were invented in the first place.

Did someone divide by zero?

Posted by: admin at February 22, 2012 8:45 AM

I'm sorry, but who is that as Capt. Mal??? WTF??

Posted by: Darlene at February 22, 2012 9:24 AM

Marketing Idiot: "Hi, nerds, we're a show that pretends to be about nerds. But, apparently, we really annoy nerds. Someone told us a show called Fire... Firebug? Lightning Bug? June bug? Whatever, it's really popular with you people. So we commissioned this image to try and get into your good graces!"

Nerd with a flamethrower: FWOOOOOOSH!

M.I. "AIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE"

NWAF: "Never stops being funny."

Posted by: lubeg at February 22, 2012 9:47 AM

No Zoe or Book because there are no black actors on "The Big Bang Theory." Racist!

Posted by: just kidding at February 22, 2012 10:02 AM

Um...I thought this was funny...

*ahem*

I'll be over here, now...

Posted by: Green Lantern at February 22, 2012 10:41 AM

WTF? They made Koothrappali MAL??!!??

Personally, I've found BBT humorous on occasion. I never had a hipster card, so pardon me if I refuse to burn and/or surrender one.

But yeah, this...this is just pointless. And worse, it's inaccurately pointless.

Posted by: NateS1973 at February 22, 2012 10:45 AM

I watched this show once. My friend loves it. I did not like it. This makes me a little bit indignant.

Posted by: abysmal at February 22, 2012 5:39 PM

Blasphemy.

I think it's time for all of us to have a giant glass of 'calm your shit down juice'. The show ran for fourteen minutes at some point during the Paleozoic era. It's not coming back, okay? If bitching non-fucking-stop about shit that went down over ten years ago actually worked, Alan Wilder would still be in Depeche Mode. At least with him and Flood, the tenure with the band didn't get cancelled by the second commerical break of its debut. I don't care if Christopher Hewitt is dead and no one can stomach more Leon Redbone, I'm bringing back Belvedere and it's going to be in your face.

Like the world needs another cartoon-related murder.

Breathe. Streaks on the china never mattered before, friends.

We wish our show was half as good or original as "Firefly". That's how I read that image.
That show es no bueno. I was stuck at work one day and I caught the daily marathon running on TBsomething and it failed to illicit a single laugh. I tried to like it because the TV people said they made it for me specifically. "Nerd Blackface" is the perfect term for that show.
