I'm not going to dismiss a series because of one character. Bernadette is so mean and tiresome. She is actually called on it here. Penny knows and she still has to put up with her nastiness. This season has really put forth her ugly spirit. As for "Fun with Flags," it also wears a bit thin. But overall, it was a reasonably good episode.

Quite surprised to see the low rate

Okay, so here we are in the middle of season 8 which I have to admit, is kinda a downfall for this show but still it wouldn't kill you to watch some bad episodes once in a while. Especially from a show thats too good to merely turn bad overnight. Anyway, I was shocked to see how this episode got such low rating- I mean, if you ask me, I'd say that this episode is HILARIOUS. Call me easily amused but seriously, watching Sheldon and Amy recording Fun with Flags which shows how badly awkward they are really tickled my bones. (YUP, I SAID IT, THEY BIOLOGICALLY TICKLED MY BONES) With them using bad green screen to record some excerpts makes it funnier because that's just the kind of thing you'd expect from awkward people with lack of technology skills. And then we have Penny and her boss discussing about how scary Bernadette could be and finally confronting her about her attitude which is kinda... :/ yeah, you see that face, that's the face I've seen people did when they watched this episode. I mean come on people, it's not that bad. Oh, oh and also we have Raj, Leonard and Howard cleaning up some professor's office that passed away and this is the part that's also kinda :/// Here's what I think. I think, this is the part that actually bores people through this episode. I had a few laughs on this part but still, it becomes boring after a while especially when they started to track down the works of this professor and went to his apartment and all sigh
Nevertheless, to sum it all up, EVERYBODY have different tastes in humor. I mean, there are some comedy shows that appears funny to everyone (i'm not kidding when I say everyone, i seriously meant everyone- i mean that show got an 8.8 on IMDb) but I literally cringed when I watch it because you know why? Because we are all different from the inside and out. You see, this is basically one of those things in a world of TV shows that you can't get away from. Great shows like this, yeah they have some bad episodes, some good ones.and yeah, I think I've been rambling a bit too much. Anyway, to put this off the table, I just wanna give this episode a 9 and simply say,
I find this episode just fine.

Big bang losing its charm -- NO LONGER FUN!

Its 10 episodes now in the 10th season, and I can barely laugh. Clearly the storyline or the comedy is not working.
There was rarely a moment which put a smile to my face.
The quality is going down which is well justified by my rating.
Just compare it to the earlier seasons, they were like awesome..
But this one is the worse of all.!
Please bring back the fun that big bang had...!
This episode in particular was boring...
I now wonder why did i watch it. They are going no where with the story.
Not using Howard's or Raj's character.
The main problem is the story.
Come on people you can do better

Only the ending joke is pretty funny, else isn't

The show at this point has become incredibly boring and repetitive. From the beginning to the end, I don't even know what this episode is trying to say. It seems like from now on, all the character's quality has been infinitely magnified, where exposing all their flaws and exists as a symbol for the show. For example, Sheldon's OCD and social awkwardness (I mean come on, it has been like 7 years and he still can't behave like a normal person), Bernadette's anger issue, and Howard's constantly making inappropriate jokes throughout the episode. I love TBBT, however this season is my least favorite. The jokes are not even funny anymore at this point. The German flag joke is pretty funny tho, that's why I gave it a 3 star instead of 1.
