Best line from *any* episode. It is actually funny. If the laugh tracks are taken away the jokes rarely actually stand on their own without it. That line does though. It is one of the few jokes in the entire series that doesn't need a laugh track to boost it from "crap joke" to "minimal entertainment"
@@StabbyJoe135 from your comment, I take it you watched the whole show even though you don't like it. Why waste your time then? There are many shows out there you know
hmm for the show; was it an entire deck of the "2 of hearts"? and if so imagine the poor intern who had to find 52 of the same card...and if not, what would they have done if was something like the Jack of spades?
@@mxplixic I don't think it was sarcasm. I think Howard understood that he awoke a beast within Sheldon. Look at the facial expression -- one of resignation.
"aww, he's got the same look when my nephew can't figure out how I got his nose"....which is ironic, because the answer is "she didn't really take his nose"....Just like Howard didn't really guess the card
@@ethanwrightsman7852 if you pause at 8:28 howard says three of clubs but raj has king of diamonds and near the end raj placed two fingers on his heart
When they’re sitting on the sofa eating there was silver foil plates, it reminds me of that rice and chicken with sauce Halal stuff back in New York fifth Avenue
I love how that no matter how smart Sheldon is, he doesn't realize that they are playing a joke on him. I knew from the first card trick that it was a 'trick'...on Sheldon LOL
Yeah, he's going to win the Noble Prize. I love this show. I hung out with guys like this in Navy basic training in 1978. They were going to nuclear training school. Could figure out any problem you gave them on paper. Next morning when we had to go marching all day one of them complained he couldn't go because his feet hurt. We all noticed he had his boots on the wrong feet....
@@daisylouisecaldwell Geniuses are most often crazy . That's why they are alone . I think you should blamme the guys for suffering his insults but thenn if it was real life why would be it an interesting show ??
4:37 Leonard: i am not opening that door Sheldon. Sheldon: As you wish Sheldon: (After putting the deck under the door) Pick a card, put it back and prepare to be amazed! LOL
My cousin did a version of this trick, where he opened a "new" pack in front of us and went through the shuffling and asking us to pick a card and basically did the same thing we see here. However, his trick was that all the cards were the same and he just resealed the deck and since you only ever flip over one card before and after a shuffle, he got a few of us thinking he actually pulled off something crazy lol
The interesting part of all of this is that Sheldon couldn't guess that Howard was cheating because he can't fathom the idea that they are smart enough to trick him Is the same reason why he thought that obvious trick would be able to work on them, he can't think that the others are smart enough to beat him.
it's not quite that. Sheldon has difficulty relating to other people. He can't think like they do. He can't relate to their (what he regards) as mundane desires and activities (and regards them as mundane merely because he has no interest in them.) Take it from someone who relates to the character way too much.
I like the episode when Sheldon was teaching Penny Physics. She didn't have a pad and pen, so Sheldon gave her one and said "here it's college ruled I hope that's not too intimidating" LMAO..
+Dylan Parker If you look closely when howard is putting the deck on the table the bottom card is the two of hearts. That deck is just a deck filled with 1 card type.
+Dylan Parker In case of 8 of spades, show five fingers, then three and proceed to do the kookoo-sign with your left hand. In case of jack of clubs, do a little disco-move, then point to sheldon.
You can show 10 numbers with one hand, 5 normal then close the first finger you opened for 6 and so on.. And may be for king queen jack ace he may use left side of his chest rather than right side
Not that Howard was ever my favorite, but I always thought him being enthusiastic about magic despite being an engineer and astronaut was just so cute.
Ya know, for all the times Sheldon mocks Howard for being an engineer I just want to say "ok Sheldon, build something right now..." I would love to see him struggle with it; not that he would actually learn anything from it, but it would be funny nonetheless.
How about the time when Sheldon nearly built a nuclear reactor to power the entire neighbourhood as an alternate power supply when he was still a child but was told by a government agent that it's illegal. He built his own cat scanner. He turned his sister Missy's Easy-Bake oven into a furnace for baking ceramic semiconductor substrates for homemade integrated circuits to make a robot. And this is all why he's still a child... And +GabrielleduVent mentioned how he built glow in the dark fish in a week and that was when he was an adult. Gabriell is right. We should be afraid of what he might build if he *really* put his mind to it.
I think the reason why he doesn’t like engineers bc in his other show young Sheldon is bc he took apart his family’s refrigerator and couldn’t get put it back together and got in so much trouble he had to pay his father 200 dollars back to get it fixed. And it was one of the first times Sheldon was not smart enough to fix it
Alternative title: How a magic trick completely changes in ten minutes. First few times: You pick one, and I'll tell you where to find it. Last few times: You pick one and I'll guess it.
0:17 "that doesn't mean you might not someday build a geegaw or a thingamabob that may get you a thank you in someone else's Nobel Prize acceptance speech (points at himself)" Well Howie did do something for NASA that made him an astronaut and made him land on Sheldon's Nobel Prize acceptance speech. He's really a man of his word.
@@chrisbrown456that is how his brain works and is part of his personality which he may not be able to change. Howard on the other hand is intentionally an asshat
@@jondoe3049 every human being on this planet has control over thier emotions and words,at least to some degree,the character of Sheldon Cooper is fucking lucky he hasnt pissed off someone to the point where they smash a 2 X 4 over the back of his skull for acting like such a wiseass,although it would be WELL deserved
@@chrisbrown456 But he does not comprehend anything wrong with what he does because it does not fully understand human interactions, which the show says multiple times. It is not his fault because he does not know better. Besides someone hitting him with a 2x4 should have control over there emotions therefore should be submitted to much worse than that.
Jon Doe But he understands that he’s pissing people off. Also, with his great brain he should be able to understand the concept of fairness, as in why should he always get his way?
Sheldon should have gotten the clue when Penny told him that she got her little nephew's nose... because actually she didn't get that nose! Just like Howard didn't actually guess the cards! Sorry for the bad English... I'm hammered
I like that Sheldon sarcastically tells Howard he could make it in his acceptance speech and years later makes good on that by adding his wife as well great character devlopment and continuity in this series
