Everyone loves a good laugh and recently I was reminded of this in Physics 202 class when my professor showed us a video from "The Big Bang Theory" of Sheldon Cooper explaining that his Halloween costume was The Doppler Effect. Of course, this prompted me to watch some " The Big Bang Theory!" As I was watching Sheldon on the show, I started to notice some similarities in terms of comments that Sheldon makes out loud that I would not necessarily have the guts to say!
Sheldon: Why are you crying?
Penny: Because I'm stupid.
Sheldon: That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.
- Sitting in class sometimes and listening to some questions or comments that are brought up in class really does make me want to cry for humanity...
2. When you're forced to socialize when you don't want to
Howard: Sheldon, don't take this the wrong way, but, you're insane.
Leonard: That may well be, but the fact is it wouldn't kill us to meet some new people.
Sheldon: For the record, it could kill us to meet new people. They could be murderers or the carriers of unusual pathogens. And I'm not insane, my mother had me tested.
-This is especially true in any award situation where we are forced to meet new people or when I am just not in the mood at all to socialize...
3. When you tell people you're from Nebraska
*Sheldon is using a map of the U.S. to find out where he can move*
Sheldon: Penny, you're from Nebraska, right?
Penny: Born and raised.
*Sheldon crosses out Nebraska*
-I just had to include this one because I am from Nebraska!!
4. When you are observant af and start noticing changes with your roommate
Sheldon: I'd like to go over some proposed changes to the roommate agreement, specifically to address Penny's annoying personal habits.
Penny: Oh my God! What personal habits?
Sheldon: I have a list. FYI overuse of the phrase "Oh my God" is number 12.
-This goes for those of us that notice EVERYTHING and I mean absolutely EVERYTHING!
5. When you know mom is still the boss no matter how old you get
Sheldon: I am a grown man. I am a professional scientist. And I currently occupy the moral high ground.
Mary: Go to your room.
Sheldon: But I occupy the moral high ground.
Mary: Go to your room.
Sheldon: But I'm a professional scientist.
Mary: Go to your room!
Sheldon: *Backs away to his room* I'm a grown man
-When mom lays down the law, there are no ifs, ands, or buts about it!
6. When you're at a big party but would rather be home
Howard: Hope you don't mind, I told my girlfriend, Bernadette, she can join us for dinner.
Leonard: Sure, the more the merrier.
Sheldon: Wait, no. That's a false equivalency. More does not equal merry. If there were 2000 people in this apartment right now, would we be celebrating? No, we'd be suffocating
-Sometimes adding more does not always equal more fun, especially if it means you have to do all the cleaning up afterward! :(
7. When your friends have overstayed their welcome a little too long
Sheldon: What are you doing here?
Leonard: I live here.
Sheldon: I have paperwork that says differently.
-For all of those friends that always seem to be in your place...
Sheldon definitely has captured a few of my thoughts, but he has more guts to say them out loud then I would! However, if you don't necessarily have these thoughts well I think Sheldon might have this to say to you:
Over and Out!
