Top 10 Mistakes That Were Left in The Big Bang Theory 

Th dancing one really isn’t a mistake. He said he doesn’t dance not that he can’t. And as the show progressed & Sheldon evolved, he did a lot of things he refused to do before. Especially for Amy.

You left out what I thought was the most glaring error in the series. That was on the second episode where Bob Newhart guest starred as "Professor Proton". Sheldon was jealous of him working with Leonard, so to show them up, he enlisted Bill Nye to help him with a project. This sparked some hilarious dialogue between Nye and Newhart. However, there was one thing the writers overlooked. Remember how Sheldon always needled Howard for being an engineer, and for not having a PhD.? Bill Nye only has a bachelor's degree -- in engineering!

Hey mojo ... sheldon was explaining how it would be impossible for lois to survive at the speed she was dropping and superman to physically catch her thus " sliced 3 pieces " , not the actual scene in the movie..... so this mistake was actually yours lol

The nice thing about these errors for me is that I don’t see them. I’m engrossed with the show which is a compliment to the show.

The “don’t dance” isn’t a mistake. He hates dancing so no matter what he would never want to dance. Ms Mojo is too literal on this point.

I could watch Sheldon fold all day. I love how dramatic he is doing it

I'm sure that someone pointed this out already, that in S1E2 14 minutes in, Sheldon knocks on Penny's door normally. And he doesn't say her name. I believe this happens only once in the series. Except when he does it on purpose to deceive Amy.

Sheldon saying he doesn't dance is not the same as him not knowing how.

This will happen a lot when a show has several writers who haven't watched all of it.

also at the beginning of the show Leonard says they can't have cats because of Sheldon's asthma, but it's Leonard who ends up being asthmatic. and in one episode Sheldon says Leonard is a good room mate becaue he doesn't make noise at night and a season or two later Leonard has a procedure because he snores.

If I remember correctly, there's an episode where Sheldon refers to koalas as bears. Koalas aren't bears. They are marsupials and are, therefore, NOT bears

In s2 e5, The Euclid Alternative in 2008, Sheldon tries to learn to drive. In s3 e22, The Staircase Implementation, which is set in 2003, Sheldon tells Leonard that he can drive.

7:45 he said he doesn't he never said he couldn't

What about the dart board? I remember seeing 18 at the top for a string of episodes. I don't remember which season. It was fixed eventually to 20 at the top.

Hey! I actually noticed a mistake Sheldon did about flags but I don't think anybody saw it. In ep14 of season 5, Sheldon says : "Speaking of cowboys, do you know what country has not one but two cows on its flag? The tiny landlocked nation of Andorra." But it's actually wrong. The flag of Andorra is 3 vertical stripes of color, blue, yellow and red with some kind of blazon in the center(🇦🇩). However a flag with 2 red cows and a yellow background does exist, and not so far from Andorra. It's the flag of Bearn, a former gascony kingdom in the pyrenees now belonging to France in the region of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. You really have to live in the south west of France to know about all that. Sorry Sheldon.

I noticed a few mistakes in The Big Bang Theory: In the episode where they find the Lord of the Rings ring, there's one bit where they all squat down to pick something up. But in another episode, Sheldon tells Amy he can only squat a tiny bit. There's also a mistake with Fun With Flags, in one episode Sheldon finds out about the two country's having the same flag by coincidence after he started Fun With Flags but in a later episode he said that he told Penny that fact and she said find someone who cares so he started Fun with Flags. There's also a mistake with Leonard's snoring, in one episode, Penny says he doesn't snore but in a later episode he gets an operation to stop his snoring.

The “resticted” was a joke with the crew and prop department. One of the crew members was making a list for the prop department and he wrote resticted area door magnate. When my supervisor heard about it we asked him how to spell restricted and he spelt out “resticted” so we kept it like that to tease him.

The Superman one isn't a mistake. Sheldon said that the scene was scientifically inaccurate, so he described what should have realistically happened.

The dancing one doesn't make sense for being on the list. In the apartment scene with Penny he says "none of them am I dancing" with that phrasing it's to take that in any of the universes in that conversation is Sheldon dancing with Penny, that doesn't mean he can't dance

Well that bob vs wiate (I've no idea how it's spelt, took a guess) could be explained as wiate being the surname and bob being the forename, it could've been the shows hint at penny's last name (prior to hofsteader)

Doesn't and Can't are two completely different words. Like Can and May. Can't is unable to do something but someone saying they don't just amounts to a conscious decision not to. It doesn't mean unable, just unwilling

I think his name is Robert Wyatt.. just a guess 😆

in the episode where Sheldon is polishing howards belt buckles, howard says that he only has 1 belt. But in reality, I am rewatching the show and so far I have seen 5 different ones.

I'm surprised that number 1 wasn't his eidetic memory. There've been several moments where Sheldon has said something that contradicted many things he previously said, as well as times he completely forgot what other characters just said minutes earlier (often for comedic effect). There's also the time Raj claimed he couldn't speak Hindi in one episode but indicated he could in others. Plus, tying in to the eidetic memory, Sheldon speaks Hindi in one episode but in a different episode he's shown to not understand Raj when he briefly speaks Hindi.

@8:44, plus, he mentions he was put through "cotillion" as a child, leading to his ability to waltz.

I think Wyatt is actually his surname and Bob is his given name, which would make Penny's last name Wyatt before she married Leonard

it also could be that wyatt was the father's last name (that he shares with penny). that would finally solve the "penny's last name mistery".

Fushion is not spelled incorrectly on Sheldon's board, the word "fushion" regards to someone who has strong qualities or is highly spirited.

People watch the shows for entertainment and enjoyment... Not to nit pick them apart and look for stuff that is wrong...

He picked up a dryer sheet from the floor and threw it into the dryer…to me that’s contrary to some of his basic phobias.

Re the Wyatt versus Bob, the father could be Wyatt Robert, because my late father was Henry Reginald but was always known as Reg, so I don't see anything wrong that supposed mistake.

Nice video

The flaw with the first pitch is not the fact the catcher changes. It's that they don't give a microphone to the guy who throws the first pitch. Every single first pitch happens with a short PA announcement and nobody pays attention to the guy who throws it. It's hard to keep track of continuity, especially when the series is in the infancy. Maybe Penny was protecting her dad's identity in season 2. After all her brother was in jail selling meth. Maybe Bob/Wyatt was an operative for the "I need a need a new dust filter for my Hoover Max guy." It explains why a Cheese Factory waitress can afford rent on 1 bedroom apartment in Pasadena, while a world renown physicist at Cal Tech needs a roommate. BTW- the average salary for a Theoretical Physicist is $197,000 per year. Sheldon is not average, so he probably makes more than that. Leonard is clearing $150k. Penny is making about $30k as a Cheesecake Factory waitress. Obviously dad had to help, but Bob/Wyatt was a farmer in Omaha (with a son who sold meth)..

Hello! There is also the time where Raj and Howard compete to know which one would be the sidekick where Raj says Howard don't like showering in front of other men, and in another season Raj says that Howard needs to have some decency and stop walking around naked in the locker's room. Also during Raj's first date with the deaf Emily he says he doesn't play any instrument but when Howard prepares a song for Bernadette he asks Raj to play his ukulele and then when they're in the band footprints on the moon he plays guitar. Aaannd I probably looked this serie too many times to remember all that 😅

I thought this would mention things like how Sheldon once claimed that Einstein failed math, a popular myth, but just a myth and an incorrect one as Einstein was a math prodigy. But there were a couple good points brought up in this video that I'd never noticed before, like the spelling mistakes and stuff, but also a few not so good points, like the Sheldon dancing thing. Sheldon didn't like to dance, but that didn't mean he couldn't.

Top 10 Mistakes That Were Left In DreamCorp LLC

Should do a few TOP 10 2 Broke Girls

Wyatt’s middle name is Robert, hence “Bob”.

Poor Narrator!

The last one about Superman is not a mistake. Sheldon was trying to express a real Physics problem of what would have happened if a Superman with "arms of Steel" was to catch a falling human. He does not take into account that Superman can slow himself to lessen the impact.

I wouldn't call Sheldon and Amy saying they don't / can't dance/ ice skate and then doing those things a continuity problem, becasue the problem just say those things because they didn't want to be forced to go dance / ice skate by their friends 🤷‍♀️

I don’t know if anyone noticed but: in S10 ep9 at minute 12:56 it appears the arm of a man wearing a blue shirt and immediately hiding behind the fridge that is on the right side of the screen behind Leonard…

Sheldon said he doesn't dance not I don't know how to dance there's a difference so that's not a mistake

there are many more (small) mistakes; the one that now comes to mind is in the restroom at the university; Howard gives Sheldon a cookie ( don't remember the episode) with his hand; Sheldon would never eat something which was given to him by hand.

Sheldon says he DOESNT dance......not that he doesnt know how to dance or CANT dance. it is not the same thing. your writers need to get better at comprehension

I have one (sorry i forgot the season and ep) When penny and Leonard go to Switzerland And then when penny sneezed Leonard said bless you (In Switzerland) and then said or in Switzerland (Bless you in Switzerland) and that still confuses Me to this day.

This makes sense. Penny's father's name is actually both Bob and Wyatt. First name Robert, last name Wyatt. Men generally get referred to their last name. Thus the mystery of Penny's maiden name has finally been cracked. It is Wyatt, Pentalope/Penelope Wyatt is then Penny's full name.

Another mistake is that in one episode (i can't recall which one) Sheldon mentions that his grandfather was the one who inspired him to pursuit physics. However, on his Nobel award speech he thanked all his family but his grandfather.

wow! didn't notice any of these. now i wanna rewatch the show & see if i can spot them.

To be fair on the dancing front with Sheldon and Amy Sheldon does many things he said he never would to make her happy. Same with Amy. She does all kinds of things to keep Sheldon happy probably why she went ice skating.

"The pilot" penny is sitting in Sheldon's spot, he is sitting at the other end if the couch having a conversation with them and not saying a word about his spot, leonard is sitting In the easy chair, huge mess up since Sheldon would go insane about his spot.

I believe there is also another Jena game where the pieces go forward and then back in time as well. This would regular jena.. ;0)

not to mention Christopher Lloys playing a guy Sheldon rented his room to and Sean Austin playing a scientist while both of them are mentioned multiple times in the series being actors who played Doc and Sam from LOTR

What about Episode 13 Season 1 when Raj speaks without being drunk, catches himself, and Penny turns around (I guess look at the director or whomever) and Sheldon continues talking

The penny's dad name i can understand as my grandad was called Albert but people called him tom which was from his last name (thompson) maybe wyatt is his last name

I noticed the ice skating mistake. My wife and I just got the series and we just recently watched that one.

Watch the Superman scene again. You can see Superman fly up, but then fly down (swoop?) to match her speed. They are both moving downward as he catches her.

"The first pitch insufficiency" you did show a different catcher, one without gear, and the wide shot he had the gear on, the one thing you didn't notice was at first he is wearing a red jersey then white, then red again, these are the at home jerseys colors, away jerseys are usually darker.

Funny 😂

In the episode where Sheldon has to add in the rule he must be nice to Howard in the contract, Leonard points out that he too should have a rule that Sheldon has to be nice to him. Sheldon then asks him “do you still like cilantro?” And Leonard responds yes. But in an earlier season when Sheldon was a “waitress” at the Cheesecake Factory, Leonard asked him questions about his food Sheldon style, and asked if Sheldon left out the cilantro, indicating he didn’t like it and didn’t want it on his food…

According to Collins Dictionary, Fashion means the quality of being strong or spirited. And Merriam Webster Defines it as a variant of FOISON which means -physical energy or strength. Maybe 🤔 it's a derivative of that

He said he is not dancing he doesn't say he can't

#5... the home stadium was in dodger stadium not the angles home stadium. so the uniform of the catcher should have been Dodger Blue.

He said he doesnt dance, not that he cant dance. He does so begrudgingly when he actually does. That works. He loosens up as time goes by in the series so it fits.

It 8:2, Howard and Sheldon get into a big argument to establish dominance. They both confuse strength with stiffness, the two most basic terms in structural engineering. Steel is strong and stiff. Rubber is strong and flexible. A biscuit is weak and stiff, while the jelly on it is weak and flexible.

Well done!

You are missing a major mistake in Series 5 Episode 24 when Sheldon tells Howard that he spent $88 on his wedding gift and yet Howard has given him a gift of a comic book worth $100 so Sheldon then gives Howard $12 back, but that now leaves Howard having spent $88 and Sheldon having now spent $100. In order that they spend the same amount, Sheldon should have only given Howard $6 back, ie both having spent $94. This is a major error for a math genius…

There's an episode in Season 1, I think, where Penny threatens to destroy property of Sheldon's, and Sheldon goes "That's blackmail." BUT IT'S NOT! That's actually extortion. Blackmail is ONLY threatening to expose personal information about someone, but it is a kind of extortion, which also covers things like destruction of property.

The Superman one makes sense. When initially creating Superman, he could LEAP over the tallest building.(meaning strong legs from the ground) that is why Superman comes from below. When did he get the ability to fly?

How did they miss this one? In the episode where they are planning to spend three months at the MAGNETIC North Pole. They meant the GEOGRAPHIC North Pole as the magnetic pole is constantly moving. The geographic pole is stationary.

That wasn’t the superman feat sheldon was talking about! There’s another in the desert or something i dont quite remember

Mayim Bialik, a PhD holder, who portrays the PhD character Amy, mentions in one episode 'Menstrual synchrony' (with Penny), a phenomenon that has not been scientifically proven to exist.

So in other words no matter how much you pay an actor they can't manage to tell a writer that so and so was called by a different name already?? Sounds lame to me.

We dropped a rap explaining the big bang theory, but the actual they'll ieri not the show 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘

Re the Robert/Wyatt thingy. My father's given name was Lauren, second name William and then surname. He went by Andy, his grandfather's given name.

how about the scene where he tells Penny his house fell off the cinder blocks again?

He said that he doesn’t dance not that he can’t

Also, in shot from stands, catcher has on an all white uniform. Then next shot from behind home plate, he has on a red shirt and white pants.

Howards mom is super protective, yet she let him go to study on the other side of country at MIT. How is that possible, no chance they could be seperated for that long. My biggest plot hole.

at 14:15 - Notice the sign - Please Keep Your Clothes On While Doing Laundry

Sounds like Watch Mojo made a continuity error when they said that Sheldon said Lois was caught two feel of the ground, when he actually said she fell at a rate of 32 feet per second per second. He never said anything about 2 feet off the ground.

You should make a video just on the mistakes of video games and board games the TBBT screenwriters have made.

In item number 5 the catcher also changes uniforms from a red jersey to a white and back to a red.

Not with Wyatt, but I knew someone who had a name that had no acceptable nicknames, and he hated his name, so he decided to be called Bob. I can see that happening to a Wyatt. What are you calling them? Why? At? Hat? There is no good nick name and the name Wyatt is highly unusual. In Breaking Bad, Walter Junior wanted to be called Flynn for a couple of seasons (maybe most of a year in show time or maybe just a couple of months - it had the most unusual show time, from start to finish, just 2 years, but they pass at differing speeds). Still Flynn from Walter. Not Walt. Not Wally. Not Wall. Not Wall-E. Flynn. I also worked with a guy who was forced by coworkers to go by John instead of his preferred Johnny. I did not even know until a chance encounter years later. Luckily, since I was at work, they liked me well enough and could see my engagement with this man, that they left us alone to chat for about 45 minutes, at which time we ran out of talk. It was also pretty slow at work. Hertz Rent A Car at DTW. We had worked at the Chelsea Proving Grounds together. Finally there are the ironic nicknames, and Bob could be one for someone who can't swim. I have heard of that before. The only one I ever personally encountered was Tiny. I was a teen and asked him why he would let them do that. He did not seem to care at first but got angry as we went on. But I no longer was bullied but had experienced extreme bullying many years before. So I immediately saw it as bullying. He did not seem to, but was picking up on it.

I miss these guys❤

Despite attempts to defend Sheldon, he did make a mistake about Superman as Superman did not swoop down to save Ms.Lane. MsMojo made their own mistake as Sheldon never said anything about being 2 feet above the ground when he catches her. If you tell me MsMojo did the math, please show your work.

They always make the pupil mistake. Even in requiem for a dream which is about opiate use. No idea why but its a common movie tv mistake

The older i get and i watch more of Big Bang Theory i understand a lot of the adult jokes

Doesn’t dance doesn’t mean he can’t dance. Because if memory does me correct, Penny dancing was early on before Amy. So... some of these things are just leaps on your part and one is not using English correctly. But I love the trouble word play with no R. That was cute! And the stuff I was looking for. Pointing out Bob was funny mistake too. Still, 👍

Feel like Mojo should have done more research on this list

Regarding Penny’s dad’s name, my Granddad was always called Sam. His name was James Edward. Why? He once had a dog named Sam. Somehow he became Sam. I’m not sure how that happened, but that was the only explanation we were ever given.

He says he doesn't dance. not that he can't. And he wasn't describing the Superman movie....wow

When the shirt became socks it didn't disappear you can see it neatly folded next to the board

Bob is his first name. Wyatt is their last name. Penny's maiden name😮

there so funny and it makes me feel good when they are to funny

And no one pointed out that Amy’s mum in season 4 was someone different from the one in later episodes (wedding)

3:07: Maybe its his second name

My father's name was Vincent, and everyone called him Jimmy. It was because he looked like his uncle Jimmy! so people don't always have nicknames that coincide with their real names!

it sounded like Sheldon was describing the realistic version of that Lois and Superman scene, ie he was trying to be sarcastic. it makes sense cuz if you are a long-time fan of a franchise, you'll eventually make a quip like that towards newbies or non-fans, cuz you're testing their knowledge about the topic.

With respect to the heroin addict comment--it actually makes perfect sense; heroin addicts are prone to have dilated pupils when coming off the drug because of rebound effects. So if she was implying either he was attracted to Penny or he was jonesing, it works fine.
