I find the show difficult to watch now, since Penny cut her hair.

You're trying too hard OP. It's a sitcom where the studio audience is a tape player and the at-home audience only cares about moment to moment pop culture references and laughing at the socially awkward situations.
[Penny: Hey, Sheldon!
(the audience chuckles)
Sheldon: Oh, hello, Penny!
(the audience begins getting excited, laughing without even knowing they are laughing or what they are laughing at)
Penny: What are you doing?
(nervous giggles are heard from all around the room)
Sheldon: Playing on a poorly coded Nintendo 64 emulator
(6 people die instantly. A shockwave with the force of 10 Hiroshima bombings erupts from the studio, causing billions of dollars worth of damage. The surviving audience members begin urinating and vomiting on each other, all while laughing uncontrollably from the funniest joke ever told)
Maybe he was embarrassed he didn't catch the Looney Toons reference, so he spent a couple hours brushing up on Wikipedia and waited for the right moment (several seasons later) to communicate in a reference/joke she would understand.
I've done some weirder shit for girls I liked.
You mean after he fragmented her disc drive?
From what I can tell the studio audience is actually a studio audience and they seem to work really hard to keep said audience engaged.
glad you thought this thread was worth posting, OP
There are a lot of stuff like that in the show.
In one of the episodes Sheldon mentions how he can't dance, but in later episodes you see Sheldon doing the chacha.
It's a shit show. Who cares?
Damn.
Just like that my favorite show unravels more and more right before my eyes.
Critical minded individuals who have digression when it comes to the media they consume.

Go to a convention where the cast is assembled and bring up this point.
You pay more attention than the writers do, obviously. Go watch shows that actually reward that and you'll have a good time.
Ah...I was under the assumption they used a laugh track for the show. After a bit of looking, they do use a studio audience for the taping, but add in laughs from the audience during the editing process. Better than a laugh track, but still seems suspect as it's the director trying to get the home audience laugh by making it seem that the studio audience loved the jokes and gags.
Edit: It's called a sweetened live audience.

I don't have enough funds to afford the trip.
Hopefully I can sell the motivational posters I've been working on:
