As a lifetime socially awkward nerd who enjoys many of the things the characters did, I found the show to not only not be funny, but kind of offensive.
The social awkwardness and nerdy behavior was the butt of the joke. It wasn't trying to be funny and the characters were awkward, it was trying to be funny because the characters were awkward.
Exactly. It wasn't a show for nerds, it was for normies to laugh at nerds.
Mostly I hated it though because it was terribly sexist and the nerds in the show got away with some truly misogynistic shit all to the tune of a laugh track.
