I think the basis of the shows humour is generally pointed at the "jocks" or the cool gang. The geek is usually derided and humiliated in their younger school years while the cool kids and to sports types have all the fun.
TBBT shows just where who ends up where and it's like this in Australia too.
Most book worms/geeks/nerds were bullied in my school days. It was cool to wag school and ignore and education.
today these bullied kids are well educated, have generally good/well paying jobs. Today these kids laugh at those who bullied them.
That is to me the main theme of this show and Penny and her now ex friends are the example.
