When Howard's Mom dies,I always love what Sheldon says. "When my Dad died I didn't have any friends to help me through it, you do."

Sheldon acknowledging Bernadette and Amy as very successful women in science is his most underrated nice moment in the show.

The episode where everyone shares possible scenarios of what is in Howard's father's letter was a brilliant piece of writing and unlike anything I've ever seen on TV before. It was a group of friends rallying around one in the group. So powerful.

I found it quite interesting that the man who played Leonard's bully was the same man who played Sheldon's father in Young Sheldon

I liked how at the end, Leonard´s mother addmited she was horrible mother and that it did bother her,but she didnt miracelously suddenly change, cos thats impossible. It felt all real.

One of the best aspects of the show addressing bullying was how they showed that everyone is a bully at some point, even if they don’t realize what they are doing is bullying. The episode where Penny brought Zack over was a perfect example. On the surface, Zack was very similar to the good-looking, popular kids who had tormented the guys their entire lives. But while Zack was definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed, he genuinely liked the group and really appreciated hanging out with the Science Guys. So when the guys used the opportunity to repeatedly belittle him, Penny rightly called them out as hypocrites. The guys apologized, and Zack became one of the group’s peripheral friends.

I hated the way Bernadette spoke to Penny about not wanting kids, effectively dismissing her feelings, when she had felt the same way before having kids. She should have understood better than anyone.

to this day Sheldon's speech for his Nobel award still hits emotions. The writers and Jim nailed this one for a final season moment. Plus the moment Leonard forgiving his Mom for everything. The gangs toast to Mrs Wolowitz...a loving Mother, too all of us.

The fact that Leonard's high school bully is Young Sheldon's father is hilarious to me for some reason.

another topics that has been covered in the show: 1. penny dating guys who don’t treat her well, and her realizing she deserves better and that there are better guys on the Halloween episode in season 1. 2. Amy having a breakdown ahead of the announcement of the Nobel prize winners, and scared of being the voice of women in science as the 4th woman to win a Nobel in physics. 3. sheldon being scared of physical intimacy in the season 8 prom episode when penny and leonard tells him a lot of people lose their virginities on prom nights. 4. when leonard said he loved penny and she wasn’t ready for that conversation yet, it really showed how different the both of them handled relationships in the past and that both had a different relationship timeline. it has been discussed too when they had intercourse in season 5 and he proposes. 5. sheldon leaving the building at the end of season 7 when too many things changes were happening. 6. money issues of both penny and raj. penny was in debt that has only been covered in season 11 after years of working as a pharmaceutical sales representative, a job she doesn’t like. and raj deciding to be independent. 7. the group wants to go to Comic-Con but raj can’t afford going with them 8. penny confronts Howard about being a creep by telling him he’s gonna die alone 9. penny regrets breaking up with Leonard when he starts dating priya at the end of season 4 10. amy being bullied and having no friends before meeting sheldon. i love this video, just finished the show two days ago and I’m still in pain 😭

I love that shot of Penny hugging Sheldon and Sheldon almost immediately hugging back.

I've recently watched season seven of Young Sheldon, and Sheldon misunderstood when he walked into his parent's bedroom. Sheldon was studying in Germany with his mother, and when they arrived in Texas, Mary dressed up in a sexy German Dirndl outfit with a blond wig. when Sheldon came back home from the university, he walked in a saw blond hair. So George never cheated on Mary, and in conclusion, George was a good father and husband.

My theory is that Leonard's mom got a lot of pushback from "Needy Baby, Greedy Baby". I think there was a reference in one episode from a psychiatrist Leonard met that called it "garbage". She visited Leonard in an attempt to gather data to prove that she didn't ruin him, only to come to realize the truth at the end, when he was ready to ream her out, but then forgave her.

The thing I relate to most about the show is how childhood bullying can leave you scars for most (if not all) your life and that can become social anxiety because you're not sure if you can really trust people again because of that fear that they'll use your kindness to take advantage of you. I was bullied most of my childhood and early teenage years and now I'm 21 years old and I'm still having a hard time trusting people because of all the scars bullying left in my life

Sheldon and Mary may disagree about a lot of things but it's clearly how much they do love each other

Sheldon becomes friends with Leonard after the latter moves in, so Sheldon gains more friends through him. Without that happening, Sheldon would've stayed single & been unlikely to gain any friends.

I love Christine Baranski! She was amazing as Leonard's mother. Excellent comedic timing and warmth.

I still think the final season would've gone a little better if Penny and Leonard did try to get pregnant throughout it (to no success), and her pregnancy at the end was both a surprise and a miracle. Fertility struggles are rarely talked about in comedy series, despite it being a common, real-life issue. (Okay, maybe not that common.)

I thought the moment with Leonard and his mother was moving. And very well acted. You could see the weight lift from his shoulders when he said it.

I can relate to Amy when she is low about her image, but at the end it show us that it's okay to try something new.

It was a tribute to the professionalism of Kaylee Cuoco and JohnnyGaleki That after they ended their relationship in real life, they remain close enough friends, but they could continue playing as often on lovers in the big bang theory.

I relate to Raj. I'm an introvert with severe social anxiety. But alcohol makes me loosen up and talk

6:10 For those who know it's because Sheldon is the one who saved everyone else's life. Quite literally.

15:31 This is the most relatable thing for me about The Big Bang Theory & I love these actors for portraying social anxiety so realistically!

My theory about the same actor playing Sheldon's father and Leonard's bully is George Cooper has a child from an early fling, but he doesn't know about the child. That child grew up to be Leonard's tormentor.

Leonard forgiving his mother , makes me have head canon that that Penny & Leonard name their baby Beverly. I've always loved that name

I gotta say y’all shoulda mentioned Sheldon saying “when my father died I had no friends to help me through it you do”

Although I am a fan of Howard and Bernadette being together, I still don’t like the idea how Howard pushes Bernadette to have kids because not all women have desires to be mothers.

One of the things I enjoyed about the show was the transition of Penny from being someone who shied away from things sciency to understand the basic. Another things I enjoyed about the show is the subtle way it points out how women who don't want kids cannot easily make that a permanent decision. If a woman doesn't want to have children, she should be able to walk into a doctor's office and say "I don't want to be a mother. Please schedule a tubal ligation" and there be no stumbling blocks for her to do so.

the funny thing about Nr. 7 is that Leonards Bully was played by the same Actor who played Sheldons Dad in "Young Sheldon".

The "PLEASE PASS THE BUTTER!!!!" scene will always be my absolute favorite moment. Also, the episode with James Earl Jones ("I LIKE STAR WARS TOO!") was fantastic. But Sheldons acceptance speech for his Nobel is probably the most beautiful moment. It makes me cry every time.

And people say “silly shows” never teach us anything. Yeah, right

On unrelated topic, Sheldon's dialogue w/ prof Proton on his dream after prof Proton's death was always one of the best IMO. Never fails how Arthur's annoyed yet keep responding 😂

The actor who played Leonard's bully is playing Sheldon's dad in the Young Sheldon show. I wonder if the producers knew that...

I didn't watch the later years (yet), and found this compilation moving and meanigful. What a brilliant cast of actors and talented team. Thank you!

I wish they had Lucy in more episodes. This is Raj's friend or girlfriend that had problems being around people. I would like to see how she deals with it and evolves in more episodes. My favorite episode is “The Closet Reconfiguration.” This is the one where Howard knows of the existence of a letter from his father. He wants to know the content of the letter and at the same time he doesn't want to know (it reminds me of the Superposition Principle). I loved the way they solved this predicament.

Not me seeing Leonard's bully and realizing that it's George from Young Sheldon lmao!

The "Wildebeest" episode was when Bernadette was in the bathroom, giving updates to Penny and Amy about Priya. The episode being shown at 15:43 was the "Grasshopper" one, all the way back in Season 1, where Raj discovers he can talk to women when drunk.

The Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld, Frasier and Two and a Half Men are my favourite American sitcoms ❤️. These poignant scenes are still funny, but with a serious message - well picked.

MizMojo, Thank you for this lovely compilation. The characters with their oddball habits and the delicate balance of friendship was well explained. The sweetness of their differences and the niche each one fills for another character are 'real' life. Thank you for my happy little weepy sniffle.

The whole “choosing not to have kids” issue would have been better made if one of the women actually didn’t have children, when they all ended up having children. So really the subtle message is “you’ll change your mind and have kids.”

Nicely done. Touching. Helping by showing relatable feelings. Thank you.

How did I never notice the guy that plays jimmy is also the guy who plays sheldon's father 😅

Sheldon’s speech was fantastic 👏😢

Loved Sheldon drunk dropping pants and mooning everyone.😅

These are all extremely difficult topics to write about, let alone act. But i think they did great jobs if they had so many seasons

I still wish they wouldn't have had Bernadette or Penny change their minds about having children. We need to have female characters who don't ever change their minds on the subject.

One more real moment is Stuart's store burning down. You can always have bad luck and you're still to hit rock bottom.

This was the best video about the Big Bang series❣️

Thanks for your amazing work!!

I go ahead and tell you my worst or best moment. Is when Howard's mom died. When they were talking and raising a toast to her. It made me cry. Cause it go me thinking about my mom. She passed back in 2012 and I still think about her today and everyday.

How am I just noticing that Leonard's bully is Sheldon's dad (15:27) 😆

I love this show There are too many episodes to pick to be my favourite 😅

The episode where the gang throws Sheldon a surprise birthday party, and Sheldon gets overwhelmed. His twin would invite her friends and they would gang up on Sheldon, while nobody sheldon invited ever came. Penny goes to comfort Sheldon and realizes that she, as a young girl, would've probably picked on Sheldon like his twin sister & her friends. Then she tells Sheldon that he is one of her dearest friends

I cried when Leonard and his mom finally made up we saw Beverly act human and show genuine and sincere love for her son

Good job choosing these moments.

Howard's moms death was a rough one.

The one that gets me is Sheldon's breakdown comparing Penny and Leonard splitting up to the trauma of his parents' divorce

Every episode I love the big bang theory!!!! Every single episode make my life better.

They should have let Bernadette remain childfree. Instead, they reinforced the damaging narrative that women will change their minds if the right man comes along. This causes damage to our rights to bodily autonomy, because it reinforces restrictions and/or requirements before a woman can receive a sterilization procedure. Women should not have to get their partner’s permission or have to wait until they reach a certain age and/or have a certain number of kids before having access to a tubal ligation. If men don’t have to jump through these hoops to get a vasectomy, women shouldn’t have to jump through them to get THEIR sterilization procedures either, especially when hormonal forms of contraception are damaging to women’s bodies. Bodily autonomy is a fundamental human right for EVERYONE, and a woman’s right to be childfree needs to be respected and NORMALIZED. The men who wrote for this show did a poor job of supporting women’s rights NEVER to have children. Badly done.

My dad died last year. I would love to have him back. I miss him so much.

you HAVE relatives. You choose your family.

This show tackles the tough issues so amazingly well.

Top spot definitely highlighted a difficult moment in the show because of how true to life it was. I remember shedding a tear on this episode and also Sheldon's comforting words to Howard during the news.

I love, love, love The Big Bang Theory

"Well that is an unfortunate angle" was cold yet danged funny.

Is Leonard's bully Jimmy, the same guy that plays Sheldon's dad??

15:23 Sheldon: You know, Leonard's childhood bully looks an awful lot like my dad....

I love he fact George never cheated and Sheldon mis understood what he saw

Female characters CONSIDERING not getting kids but in the end being super happy mothers? To me the message is more like "It's your purpose in life. Don’t fight it!"

#1: Ooorah!

“Pain serves an evolutionary purpose “~ Sheldon cooper

Honestly after watching Young Sheldon, I totally get why George cheated - Mary was awful to him and whilst not physically cheating that we know of was definitely checked out and emotionally cheating. Also Penny sacking that loser to get their stuff back will never not be glorious.

Theres very few times sheldon has raised his voice, but when he has you know hes hurting or embarrassed

Not everyone's friends become like a second family.

When Sheldon gets the ring out of the draw. I didnt see that coming tbh.

When Howard’s mom died that one was sad!

15:30 omg that actor plays Sheldon's father in "Young Sheldon" :D

The fact that Sheldon's friends stuck by and put up with him for as long as they did, shows that to them he was also a person and that they cared about him. He could be insufferable, socially naive, blunt, and matter of fact, but he also cared about them, even if he showed it in a more logical rather than emotional sense.

When I was younger I couldn't really get the relief Leonard had when he decided to forgive his mom. A few rough years later one day this scene suddenly hit too close to home when I was rewatching it that I burst into tears. I also decided to forgive my emotionally abusive mom because I love her and because I think I deserve better. I love this show

I think when people move around a lot that too leaves them in a lonely state this show reached a lot of people

Every single episode, seriously

What still surprises me about TBBT is the fact that the writers did not have Leonard and Penny go through a divorce to show what that would have been like for the group along for Leonard and Penny. For as many times that it was noticeable that there was love and closeness between Leonard and Penny, I do feel that there were just as many times throughout the series if not more that it was shown that Penny never cared nearly enough about Leonard as much as Leonard cared about her. It almost seemed like that especially after Penny and Leonard were married, that there was always this underlying thing that showed Penny was with Leonard simply because she could not get another guy like Zack or even Zack himself. Meaning, Penny was feeling like she settled with Leonard when she wanted more than Leonard.

Did anyone else notice Leonard's bully is Sheldon's dad??? 😂

Irish pub. Season 4-6 was hilarious

I just realized the guy at @15:15, plays Sheldon's father in Young Sheldon. I think. LoL

great video the big bang theory is a great show and will always by a great show

You might as well just put a crown on my head and call me QUEEN because I have been through all of those things that are mentioned on this list.

Am I the only one who notices that Leonard's Bully is Sheldon's dad?

I never watched it till I got rROKUI love it Hope the DO make a new one

I really liked how the president was changed slowly from annoyed to SO supportive of the group, and especially Sheldon and Amy, at the end, due to their physics progress, scientific breakthroughs, and publishing while at Cal-Tech. He wasn't just "the Dean" college trope. They are bringing in the big bucks, so why wouldn't they begin to achieve real accommodation..? In a world of caricatures, both series seem to have a good handle on consistent, realistic personalities.

Omg the bully Leonard stands up too is Sheldons dad in young Sheldon 😂😂😂😂 15:22

I just noticed Leonards bully also plays Sheldons Dad.

Anyone else notice that Leonard’s highschool bully is Sheldon’s dad in Young Sheldon? 15:15

Uhm, I just realized... Why is Sheldon's dad Leonards bully? xD

I have a request can we Get a youngpenny series ?😂😊

Too many jobs, military, factory fodder, trucker, tower climber... Life dictates our choices.

I actually relate to Sheldon. Why? I have all his issues, with the exception of losing a parent.

My favorite part of this show is the when Mrs Wolowitz actress died they put her picture up on the fridge in the main apartment
