Stephanie meets Penny - The Big Bang Theory 

I had a very dear friend named Stephanie Barnett who died way too young. She colored her hair the same as this actress did. This is a melancholy scene for me.

Great scene

The way she says "Leonard" though is SO annoying

I know righttt

A bit insulting to penny though

Isn’t it weird that Stephanie wasn’t more concerned about a stranger just walking in the place in her underwear.

​@@Voltron881 She was at first, but Leonard's explanation was pretty convincing 😂

How on earth would that be helping him? Kkk

@@tribbiannie its sheldon !

I actually thought Sheldon said, "In Leonard's offence," and was actually outing Leonard on purpose. lol

Don't forget Kuthrapali's sister! But that didn't last either..

She's one of the better side characters in the show for sure lol wish she was on longer as well.

Bernie could handle him too tho

@@Chromexus Priya was the worst. She ruined that season

@@Chromexus Weirdly, TBBT officially spelled Raj’s last name “Koothrapali.” I think your spelling looks better.

THAT was THE QUESTION in this situation XD

Existing, Sheldon. Thats what you did.

We never saw Mrs Vardabidian, or did we?

@@roadwarrior144 🤣🤣🤣

​@@annathevideoviewer yo eeeh4r

That's Sara Rue

It is one of the most shameful aspects of the show that they had an array of really talented actresses and they were all under used.

@@ianlacey6588 Like Leslie Winkle. One of the best characters in the earlier seasons of the show and a great comedic foil to Leonard and Sheldon but then just vanished from the show. She was kind of replaced by Barry Kripke in that role but he was never as good of a character at all and a lot of the time he felt super shallow with the writers just making the fact he's a pervert with a speech impediment his entire character. Leslie was awesome.

@@ianlacey6588 and then having someone like Kaley make a fricken million per episode I never understood that! What did she have worth a million than Amy or Bernie or Stephanie? That's right, 'looks' and that's it.

@@Noobie2k7 leslie was among the most hated guests. Audience reception was so bad that they dropped off leslie plots.

if it werent for her we wouldn't have the mars rover mars rover could howard come over incident ahahahaha

Sarah Rue. She had her own show “Less than perfect”. I still watch it. It is very funny!

What's she got to be insecure about? She's pretty, smart and successful.

Brawndo has electrolytes

@@MacyIG She also is the secretary in "We Bought A Zoo" one of my all time favorite guilty pleasures to watch! Always had a major crush on her, but I have a soft spot for Redheaded-women ... so ...

One of the many reasons why Sheldon's friends are just too good for him, and that Sheldon DOES NOT deserve them.

her lips do not move when she says this. Major goof with voicceover

@@willie0704 That was no voiceover. You can see her mouth moving. Your lips don't need to touch to be able to say "in her underwear"

@@ramweno nope she smiles but her lips do not move for couple lines

😂😂😂😂it's definitely hilarious 😆😆

@@willie0704it’s not a goof she’s saying it from behind her fake grinned smile on purpose and for effect.

And she is beautiful, specially when she smiles.

I remember when she had her own sitcom show with Eric Roberts as her boss. 😀👍

@@thomasbelisle6093 and the guy from Shazam.

@@karlos777x its been a long time since I remember watching it. Idk who else was in the sitcom with her. I only remembered Eric Roberts.

Her acting at :19 was good, too. She had to act like she was surprised/startled and amused at Sheldon's clueless inquiry.

I think they saved the scene, it feels like in the script he was supposed to grab it first and then go to the coffee machine, you can even see penny moving it a bit before he comes back to grab it...

@@diosdelmame1695 i think you're so right! They also smile a little about it

I don't know if she would be a good regular - saw her here, saw her in rules of Engagement - excellent in both. But, like Baranski, something tells me they are better off as recurring characters to spice things up for a while, then go.

I agree

@@fionam3554 the good fight??

@@faye969 I haven't seen that. I was thinking of Baranski in Cybill.

@@fionam3554 have you ever seen Less Than Perfect?

Would YOU tell your girlfriend a woman who looks like Penny comes in and out of your apartment in short shorts and a cami?

Alex was the best one for him.

@@alexkilgour1328 finally someone said it. But we don't know how would it turn out if they finally dated. Leonard was kind of broken because of living with Sheldon and I think Alex wouldn't have like that as Alex was driven mad by Sheldon. Only a person who was a friend of Sheldon would be a perfect fit for Leonard i.e penny and Stephanie and Stephanie was a better choice.

Nah Penny is 100 times better.

@@alexkilgour1328 u r saying that because u are Alex too?)

Nö

Or his Batman keychain figurine, or a lot of other stuff

Its way too obvious of an answer

Please introduce me to these women who have no issues with a Penny looking like that coming to your place regularly.

@@flashyflash7152 lmao

@@expertgamer2234 no not really ....leonard is a dumbass

or say she's dating Sheldon, then watch them try to lie for him. classic. penny steps on sheldon's toe when he tries to correct him. this is why i don't write sitcoms

Agreed

Agreed. Although entertaining, the later seasons became a bit flooded with multiple story lines. As with any sitcom though, I suppose it must evolve and reach an ending somehow and the ending they gave TBBT was absolutely beautiful I thought. The writers did an amazing job with the ending. I do miss new episodes though. I honestly doubt there will ever be another show like this one on T.V. ever again. I can remember watching the pilot when it first aired and thinking "This show is gonna be HUGE!" There had never been another one like it before

@@bryankerbow7871 its the sitcom trap. Instead of letting her character grow, they kept reseting to initial charachter traits and amplying them as seasons continued. If you notice, they amplified pennys superficialness an bullsht right up to "settling" for leomard to up until the baby storyline.. Realistically they would never have broken up because a real life penny would either be in love with leonard as a form of understanding that its best she invest im him, given he was her best shot at a proper life. All the guys she dated were basically losers as the show points out and it became obvious that leonard was the only consistent anchor to her having a proper future.. She barely acted like she was interested in the relationship and marriage to leonard as opposed to when she was dating he losers... not realistic at all.

Yeah before Amy and Bernadette, I do like the characters but prefer the first few seasons

@@jkhoover don’t recall them saying they hated it, just that it was unrealistic and repetitive, I feel the same about friends

Over here( Europe) she would be considered next to fully clothed. Ok, except for Eastern and Southern Europe...

@@bluerisk so you mean just in Germany lmao

@@Angel666xo You forget central the rest of europe (west, north, central). Think about France, Belgium, the netherlands, danmark, ... :-)

@@Angel666xo and spain, portugal, france, the uk, italy, greece, austria, luxenburg, belgum... Need I go on?

Not in the Netherlands at least

More compatibility than penny

Leonard fucked that up, dumbass move to get with Penny

Have you seen her now she’s even hotter and skinnier so it’s like wow

@@julienwood577 nah, she’s disgusting now with the short hair

Especially when she's fluffy! Sarah seems to be one of those girls who's hot skinny or fluffy. Can't say what she'd look like ballooned up, but ballooning rarely makes a person look "better" (meaning "hotter). Didn't help me at all...

Yeah there was no conclusion with her character even though she had been on multiple episodes. It was almost like they just didn’t want to pay her for another episode to end her arc

@@quackster8295 she was never meant to be a main character, she only had a deal for 3 episodes and was just another road block or stepping stone to Penny. It was odd they didn’t at least mention her the next episode, but I guess they felt that arc was done and wanted to move on.

Yeah she just kinda vanished last we heard Leonard left to have sex with her then we never see her again

Yes that annoyed me so much specially cause i liked her

The last scene involving her was after Leonard sent a text to her in the canteen saying he wanted to slow things down then she texted back asking to have sex, that's it

@@Fmfcg She was really manipulative and bossy. Whenever Leonard tried to have a conversation she just silenced him with sex.

Sara Rue was so hot in the show but her character was despisable.

If he had experience being a player, he could. but for all the women he slept with in the series, he never considered himself a player, so he never saw a reason to cover his backside--he always considered himself a loser in the dating game, so he accepted the embarassment as just another failure.

A big part of her character is her fear of real relationships so it wouldn't have made sense for her to get into a real long term one in the middle of her more casual relationships. Especially when why it took their relationship so long to develop is that Penny wasn't as ready as Leonard to make things serious.

Had Penny been the type to have a serious relationship, she would have no need for Leonard--she could get anything she wanted from him by being a friend, no need for sex whatsoever since she would be getting it everywhere else. She was a party gal from the midwest, he was a brainy type constantly sleeping with brainy women. The fact she isn't his type and vice versa makes her the obvious "trophy" for him to win over and feel better about himself--that's what it meant for her to choose him, she doesn't go for brainy types because she isn't one herself. If Penny had not been a party gal, she would have been with that one guy who even Amy felt something toward (Zack) since he had stability with his father's menu business, and they would have been equal in intellect. She could have kept scamming dinner out of the guys and hanging out with them whenever her boyfriend was busy, though he felt after the telescope routine that he might actually fit in. (though some attractive women who love playing the dating game will also try for the guy out of their league, just to prove to themselves they can win at everything). In real life, women like Penny tend to go with the stable good guy over the random alpha when the biological clock begins to ring and they want a faithful father--that's what is meant when it's said, "nice guys finish last".

Wow, you don't date much, do you?

@@albertgaspar627 Zach was his name

@@theworldswickedestclown thank you.

how people get in the audience? is it paid? how do you know when and where will be the next session?

@@N73B60 this was many years ago and Big Bang Theory is no longer in production. Tickets for tv shows are usually acquired from different companies that offer them. A friend got me my ticket. Where to get tickets should be offered online, I’d imagine. It’s typically free to see a taping.

@@N73B60 normally its free but you have to apply.

Are the laughs real?

Penny knows how to handle Sheldon, and from what it sounded like, she got paid more than Leonard when she landed that medicine salesperson job.

Penny and Leonard were the worst.

Yea, but Alex was the cutest. :)

I did not like Stephanie, I could never see how Leonard would have really fancied her at all, Alex, yes but it was Penny that he really wanted and that is what he got. Penny was the perfect choice for Leonard and it is obvious that Leonard thought that as well. As for great careers, what has that got to do with their relationship but as it turned out, Penny had a job earning more than Leonard anyway, so, it all worked out great for both of them and ended exactly how I wanted it to..

Alex worked for Sheldon, she had no idea how to control him 😂

NO! she didn't. She's an actress that has no other talent but to do what other people tell her to do.. they call it a script dumbass

@@chrismcinOZ sheesh... you are stupid

@@chrismcinOZ 9

No no

@@chrismcinOZ i think it was supposed to be a joke or something

And penny's reaction to Sheldon was on point

NO SHE WASN'T

Yes she was, I woulda stayed with her

Honestly Penny is cute and whatnot but all the girls that have taken interest in Leonard have been made a better couple with Leonard.

Bernadette

@@germanramos9609 Penny was a freeloader

What about the deaf girl who was just with him for his parents money?

Yeah I liked her vibe.

Not really. When he decides to slow it down because she has basically moved in with him without them discussing it she refuses by changing the subject to sex.

Oh god we're living together

Yeah I always stop hanging around with people when they get in a relationship.

@@Logan_Baron or just stop hanging out with them altogether there an ex for a reason

@@romelgonzales2754 i don't know what kindergarten relationships you had, but it actually is possible to be friends with an ex? Like, they're an ex, because a romantic/sexual relationship isn't possible, but that doesn't always mean friendships are off the table.

@@gibmirdeinenieresonstknallts your entitled for an opinion but dont get touchy about it you should never be friends with an ex for many reason if youve ever been in an adult relationship you should know this by now if your still keep them around then you can never move on your current partner usually aint gonna be happy with you keeping your ex around... penny was so wrong for continuing to hang with them shes the one who broke up with him cause they didnt have anything in common but she still hangs with them dispite prya not being happy about it she tried to sneak around and still hang with them

And only reason to keep an ex around should be if you have kids but other then that you shouldnt keep them around

Me too, Penny is so hot.

*other

@@tarielkaroldan4106 autocorrect :)

Priya bruv

Prefer the lawyer girl, nice to have legal protection and advisement for free in this new era.

@@karmajaystar13 priya cheated on leonard so wouldnt of worked out plus he cheated on her as well in terms of personality the best person for him was alex but she only wanted him cause he was in a relationship

Cute shorts

Yes it is.

that is why most people talk about you and your family friends love you I know you chir please be nise to shlidin next year next season I wish

They gave all the characters girlfriends way too early especially Sheldon. I feel like that's what made the show so interesting at the start was them being awkward around women and it was almost taken out before the show was even a third of the way through. Every time I rewatch the show I wish it had focused on the guys and penny for 2 or 3 more season without the extras.

Agreed. The show became something different, to the point that I stopped watching after the 8th season and didn't come back to watch the rest and finish for years after it went off the air. There was something about the first 1-3 seasons of 4 geeky guys trying to make it in a normal world. The girlfriends just convoluted it all.

Because penny is a savage.😂😂😂

@@truegrit9202 shes far from one. theres savages and theres people who take advantage of the weak.

“You invited her for food when she moved in. Everything she does is on you” - Sheldon

How do you explain Penny then?

@@mikereiss4216 characters plural.

@@mikereiss4216explain why they made Sarah Gilbert a season 2 regular and gave her nothing to do? Check the credits if you don't believe me.

Oh yeah, amazing

Leonard should taken his chance on Alex. To be honest.

Alex was cute.

@@germanramos9609 true 😅

Nah because she wasn't penny

Lenny was better than steanord

Well, when you have a lot of money to hire personal trainers and have a great diet , you too can be "freakishly fit".I agree that she also works hard for it ,but it's just not the same for a regular person. A regular person has to workout regularly along with a job and cook his/ her own food unlike the celebrities.

@@abdulrahaman4709 they did work hard to become "celebrity" right? And that's a good way to spend money if they need to work more on their career

Agreed

@@GameAddictYT That is not the topic he was talking about. He says that it is her work to be fit, so she can stay in the role. So for normal person it is much harder to keep fit, because they have to work and dont have time to work out 2 hours a day and pay chefs who make special diet for them

@@abdulrahaman4709 what a load of bullshit you don't need special diet or personal trainer to be fit it is all about discipline.

S02E10 - The Vartabedian Conundrum, it's mentioned in the video description

Exactly lol
