I hung out with people like this. They seem real to me. Also the humor has an honest intelligence behind it, without the usual sadism that plagues most American sitcoms, that makes me laugh.
This. I know people who watch this just to make fun of smart people. Personally, I like seeing smart people on tv. They are as flawed as any other characters, the show isn't perfect, but their intelligence is respected by the writers. That doesn't happen many other places on tv.
