IT Crowd - Non-nerd characters are the actual clowns.
The Big Bang Theory - Nerds are the clown characters.
In IT Crowd, the nerds are put into hilarious situations because of an insane normal world. In Big Bang Theory, the nerds are put into hilarious situations because they are insane.
- AndrewDucker 13y agoIf you don't think that Moss and Roy are both also clowns then you haven't been paying much attention.
- chippy 13y agoOf course they also are. This thought has to be seen in the context of the subject of the thread - The Big Bang Theory, and the actual article which also deals with the outsider (non-nerd), the audience and the nerds. In other words, Penny or the people at the university on the whole are not clowns, rather the nerds are the primary clown characters. Jennifer, her boyfriends, Mr. Renham or most other non-nerd characters in the IT Crowd are the primary clown characters. We (the general audience) sympathise with the nerds more in the IT Crowd in the same way that we sympathise more with the non-nerds.
- Dewie 13y agoI think IT Crowd is a show which is based on a crazy universe, a universe where everyone turns out to be mad if the show puts enough attention on them. I guess this is in contrast to shows where some of the characters are crazy, and then you have a few other characters that are more normal to contrast them.
