Unfortunately for Wolowitz, the robot arm’s hand gets stuck on his genitals, forcing him to call in Raj and Leonard for help. Seeing Leonard desperately dig through the ball pit is amusing enough, but Sheldon’s child-like resistance while repeating “Bazinga!” absolutely makes the sequence worth a watch.Īnyone else want to ask how Howard thought this was a good idea? In the first episode of season four, things kick off in proper fashion with Howard’s use of a robot arm – initially for unpacking takeout, then a massage, then. When Leonard comes to retrieve his roommate, Sheldon refuses to leave – and then dives into the balls. Under great stress and deprived of sleep, Sheldon manages to break into a ball pit in a bid to solve a scientific conundrum. Sheldon’s mental stability is rarely as questionable as it is in this scene. While violence might be a bit extreme, it’s hard not to call this scene gratifying. As Leonard and Penny sleep, Sheldon attempts to steal the ring off of Penny’s neck, which leads Penny to punch Sheldon in the face. Leonard claims the ring for the time being, though Sheldon isn’t happy about it, and will do just about anything to keep it for himself. In this episode, the guys come across one of the actual rings used as a prop in “The Lord of the Rings” movies. Though the circumstance is questionable, this one might be a long time coming. From Leonard disliking his own name to Howard admitting he lost his virginity to his cousin, everyone brings an embarrassing secret to the table. What follows is a drug trip of incredible proportions as each of the three scientists descends into a spiral of nervous hunger, hysterical laughter, and unnecessary confessions.

While on a camping trip to watch a meteor shower, Leonard, Howard and Raj partake in some homemade cookies – courtesy of some very odd-sounding older women. There’s unwinding, and then there’s just letting go of any form of inhibition. The video of Sheldon gloating and naming his friends as co-conspirators certainly doesn’t help matters. All well and good, except for one detail: the university president and board of directors are also caught in the prank. The plan Sheldon concocts involves dumping foam onto Kripke via a false ceiling in Kripke’s lab. Sheldon plots to get back at his university coworker Barry Kripke for an amusing helium-based prank that embarrassed him during a live radio interview. We sense that Doctor Cooper may have misjudged the situation. And thus the dispute gets physical, with both scientists eventually fighting on the floor mid-presentation, in hilariously pathetic fashion- which later goes viral on YouTube. The resulting argument quickly escalates as they both accuse each other of being egotistical, leading Sheldon to try and blow up Leonard’s head with his mind. Leonard, in the middle of giving a presentation on a paper he and Sheldon co-wrote, is disrupted by a question. Sackoff and Takei’s back-and-forth is fleeting fun, especially when the question of Howard’s sexuality comes up. However, Howard’s fantasies reach a whole new level of weird when he also imagines George Takei as a romantic advisor. In “The Hot Troll Deviation”, Howard is coping with the end of his relationship with Bernadette, which means a lot of imaginary flirting with Katee Sackoff from Battlestar Galactica. What seals the scene, though, is Sheldon’s visible displeasure with the whole situation – plus, it’s wonderful to see Amy so happy.Įveryone needs advice on romance at some point – but it’s not usually as odd as this. until she sees the tiara and all the ill will disappears. Amy’s prepared to tear him a new one, calling him out for being manipulative. At least, that’s what we gathered when Sheldon brings his girlfriend Amy a tiara, as penance for his lack of interest in her achievements. Turns out trinkets and knick-knacks have a lot more power than expected. From heart-warming confessions to pop culture references, from wacky comedic timing to surprising character breakthroughs, we find these moments to be the most enduring. Here, we’ll be browsing through the backlog of one of CBS’ most popular shows, highlighting the scenes and sequences that we found best represent the sitcom.
