#3 is The Jungle Book, not [Horizon Forbidden West].

I heard about a fic that parodied this by having Harry Potter use “gangsta” slang. (It seems to have been scoured from the Internet, which is probably for the best.)

As someone who watched and enjoyed both shows, I wouldn’t say one is funnier than the other. They have different delivery styles that were chosen based on a target audience. And one had a much larger audience due to its country of origin.
And it’s not like TBBT cast started out making the most money per episode in history. That was the direct result of global success, same as with Hugh Laurie in House around the time these shows came out and the Friends cast a decade before.

Asking Americans to conceive of a world outside the U.S. is... a daunting task.

[(Anonymous)]

#2 is the actual Horizon Forbidden West.

Excellent error. 🤣

I feel like IT Crowd was made by nerds for nerds, whereas BBT was made for a general audience to laugh at nerds. I mean there is gray areas it is not that straight of a divide, but they def have different vibes and different target audiences.

[(Anonymous)]

I could barely watch first coupke of episodes The IT Crowd, I couldn't get past the misogyny. I did enjoy TBBT, because although there was misogyny it wasn't the same "flavour" I guess? Penny wasn't a shrieking shoe-obsessed woman who was IT illiterate, which was a stereotype a lot of men I worked with in IT expected all women to be, so the joke that the woman was in The IT Crowd just hit worse for me.

I suppose for most people it's the same, they're sensitive to the jokes that have been made about them, and TBBT hit a few more of those sour notes for some than the IT Crowd did.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, as not an American (Canadian) writing fic with characters who are from the UK, I try my best lol.

It's funny how the more I research into slang/vernacular, the more I notice the discrepancies and it does make me pause more in other fic of the same fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I don't expect the 16yos who are writing fics to get every slang word correct.

[(Anonymous)]

ehh, he's a weirdo disgusting (likely chaser) transphobe anyway. both suck in their own way now. tbbt didn't start out that bad though. and then it became absolutely insufferable with the misogyny and haha mention nerd thing funny instead of an actual JOKE

[hey_hey_hey]

Best P5 romantic option.

I agree, but the "wrong" English in any fandom is jarring. For example, for an American show with "he was sat," which is an English regionalism as well! "Yeah, you would do," instead of "would do that," etc.

I can overlook color/colour center/centre and things of that nature, but some things are clearly not in the canon's form of English and it's obvious that the writer is not aware of this. Fuckin'...whilst. LOL.

(ESL writers do a really good job, though!)
