Young Sheldon - Georgie Flat Tire Genius to Tire Business Owner in The Big Bang Theory 

Well, even at his young age, he's always the responsible one.

Perfect role model of being the eldest in the family.❤

​@@JeremiahZtgit's sad that he doesn't get any credit from Mary while he took care of the family. Being the oldest is the worst

@@sheilaforver32 Sheldon love overshadowed her love for Georgie

@@sheilaforver32being the middle one is the worst

I agree, i prefer young sheldon to big bang because it feels less fake as a result of this change

@@samlincoln1 I specifically hate big bang for that one reason, they have funny moments but the laugh track makes me not want to laugh along

It's not a sitcom like BBT was.

There isn't a laugh track in TBBT, it's all audience

@@jazzad it is a sitcom

Dude built a business empire just to fuck with Sheldon

@@soowshh1529 To be fair... That is what an older brother would do.

@@Ishmachiah As an older brother, can confirm. I would do this if I was a business owner.

as someone with a older brother, i would do that to my older brother and he would do that to me.

@@celiajane4250 not dat deep brah

Missy isn't really anything. I dont even know what she does for a living

@@amirhaikal6672 she literally is emotionally smart lol

I love all of them Sheldon is a unique individual and too many people cannot deal with people like him and I love him because he's a breath of fresh air him and Missy but you are so true

@@amirhaikal6672 I believe they said she have two kids and is a waitress or something like that but she is wise for a little girl and very observant of other people emotion

Usually the older child have to help raise the kids and as a result they never get to reach their own full potential. Emotional smartness? Sounds like she could have been a physiologist

One of my favorite quote from Sir Albert Einstein

Dumb ass fish can’t even climb a tree what an idiot probably can’t even breath air

@@cookiess5049 who are you, who is so wise in the ways of science?

@@cookiess5049 -- Does that also make humans idiots because they can't breath water?

Dumbest bit of american idealism hands down.

Because of his tyre business you know

@@zuesr3277 natural instincts of a businessman you know 😎

I think it was "never patch".

@@justtry8552 yaa "never patch, always buy new"😂😂

Capitalism at its finest

My dad was a church “leader” but he wasn’t an advocate for the idea of some dead person “looking over you in the clouds”. Instead he always just encouraged that you should just continue to be the best you can be, wether said individual is dead or alive

*are genuinely...

@@christopherdean1326 cheers!

Ohh I assumed the siblings became a thing due to young sheldon not the other way around. They did do a pretty good job.

@@phillnyetheplaylistguy3759I agree that the characterisations of the siblings as we see them in TBBT was inspired by YS, but around the first time we met Mary Cooper in TBBT (before YS began airing), she mentioned “two other children who were dumb as soup”. Obviously, they’re not dumb as soup, but my point is the existence of Sheldon’s two siblings was already evident.

That's just normal sibling things

imagine calling best tire seller in Texas a loser while living in a shitty apartment with another people.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@sontop3272 I love Gorgie but actually Sheldon has lots of money to afford a better apartment but he just doesn’t care about wealth or fancy things

@@sontop3272 He was repeating what Sheldon said earlier, off screen.

@@jordanvo437Sheldon is better at saving his money than his friends, but his work doesn’t pay as well as you’d think, and he lives in an expensive area. Adding other expenses, like frequently getting takeout and new games/tech/toys/props, and he’s still doing well enough financially, but he wouldn’t have a fraction of what Georgie must make by being the top tire seller in Texas.

Georgie far more successful though.

@@truthtella2661 he had to take on more responsibility much earlier when his father died. That makes for a self motivated man.

@@truthtella2661 sheldon won a nobel prize. im not saying Georgie isnt successful but still

Just like my family, we're all hard workers. Just in our own different ways. My brother is the one who is more into education. I don't think education isn't for me, after all, I just want a stable job indoors. Education doesn't mean success.

@@pranoy4723 except there really isn’t a prize for Georgie’s work.

Agreed!

Georgie became a man. Sheldon remained a boy.

@@karenk2409 Sums it up perfectly.

Street smart

@@everythingisawesome2903 Yep, the best way to be. I knew a number of 'very smart' academics who just about couldn't tie their own shoe lacrs, away with the fairies on a practical basis. Having said that, one of them, Kerr, was very good in his field of management and a really nice guy too, knew his strengths and weaknesses, and played to them. Learned a lot from him and really glad to have known him (not for knowing how to knot a tie or wear one that didn't have some breakfast on!) 😀

As an academic myself, soon to be Dr. I really admire people like Georgie. It's no joke choosing to become an entrepreneur and actually becoming massively successful. Academia is safe but carving your own path in the business world is incredibly impressive and something I could never do.

He used his hands and charisma to his advantage. Sheldon simply had his brain though I feel somehow he had to have his own charisma simply because he did draw people to him. While missy I feel like she’s adapt in being social and sorta manipulating people.

Honestly I think smarts like Georgie is far more cooler and helpful for people in daily life

@Ban this youtube Why is this such a negative but really good and underrated comment.

Frankly, I think Sheldon's the loser.

@@azazelgrigori9244 watch the show, by the end of the episode he apologizes to Georgie.

As Benadette said, "His part of the brain that should think about that is getting a wedgie from the rest of his brain". Hehehe Sheldon lacks empathy and sympathy and very analytical about what he only cares. It so happen that he based his things on what he read in books and other materials... Reality is always a struggle for him.

I think a thing everyone misses about Sheldon and the story writers did a good job hiding it with his appeared arrogance. Is its a social awkwardness attributed with his high intelligence. From his perspective everyone is a drooling moron while he cant even manage the simple mundane social tasks like everyone else. Quite literally sheldons brain is just not capable of thinking on standard social interaction levels, but throw a physics problem in front of him and he will hammer it out.

like literally young and old georgie have the same exact face 😭

I mean that's actually kinda smart

Holy shit that smart

He is older than Sheldon, and has some wear in his treads before he was born... (I tried to do a tire joke, did it work?)

@@johndilig6719 it was pretty flat

@@johndilig6719 It was a little flat but still has some traction.

And Howard as an… engineer

@@lorz6750 that just adds salt to the wounds because he hardly respects Howard as an Engineer 🤣🤣🤣

his disrespect for Howard and Engineering are two separate, yet equal, areas ...

@@OldFellaDave agreed lmao

Well he is the best at his field, something neither Howard nor Leonard can say.

How'd TBBT get an actor who looks enough like an Older version of the Teenager who portrays him in this show so well?!!

In the case of Sheldon's mom, the one who plays his mother in Young Sheldon is actually the real life daughter of the woman who plays his mother in TBBT.

If you haven't seen band of brother yet. The actors actually look like some of the ww2 vets of Easy company. I didnt notice till after the second time watching it.

All three of these kids are very talented.

Thank god they didnt diversify the cast.

Measure those by the challenges they face and overcome.

In real life it’s the same. How many art students get told they HAVE to take a science class but science students don’t get told they HAVE to take an art class? How many treat with respect the woman who manages an office while treating with disrespect the woman who manages a home?

I actually found it way too direct and actually out of character for Sheldon. Something went wrong with the writing team that day.

Well, sheldon is an asshole. Allways been allways will be.

Sheldon has an untreated personality disorder.

He used to be my favorite up until he ruined everything for the coopers starting in season 5.

Now you know how a show focusing on him will do

What did Sheldon contribute to the family?

@@ellisjames7192 Other than bragging rights and being a jerk, not much

Omg yes, Georgie is my favourite too.

Georgie is the soul of this show, helping the whole family when his father died.

Same, I like Missy a LOT, and LOVE Georgie, also very cool how the other cooper children are geniuses in their own way though only the audience really sees it. I know Young Sheldon has to focus on Him, but his siblings need waaaay more air time.

I like everyone on the show except Sheldon. He’s incredibly rude.

Missy for me.

Sheldon can't feel pride FOR OTHER PEOPLE

You're talking about someone not capable of feeling for others he's a sociopath and ITS A TV SHOW!

That's not right. I believe Georgie deserves more credit. Never received a money for anything. Built his store from ground up. Sheldon was always protected by all.

@@ScoobyShotU he is not a sociopath. He does however show signs of a type of Asperger's.

Georgie is doing something ,he's doing way better than Sheldon and make a better living than sheldon

unchained melody......listen to Bobby do it live on the Andy williams show,1965....will give you chills ! best love song ever written !

The song Unchained Melody came out in 1955 and was covered many times. The most famous version was by Righteous Brothers released in 1965. That version had a huge comeback in 1990's when it was used in the romantic pottery making scene of the hit movie Ghost with Demi Moore & Patrick Swayze and was played at countless weddings since. Ditto.

Agreed

Which is funny when you realise older George was the fat kid from stand by me

​@@roberthalbert2972broo I've never noticed that

The same for the actresses who portrayed Mary! ❤

Young Mary and older Mary are mother and daughter in real life.

You are a freaking genius, sir!

Fool, always buy new, don't patch.

@@u.v.s.5583 I just have a love of anything that runs on explosions and 4 wheels, thanks!

@@paulmidsussex3409 always got get that up sell 😂

I haven't seen that method at the shop yet, I'll have to ask around

I noticed that too and I searched the comment section if anyone else noticed.

I think part of his success is due to his extreme self awareness.

In the 8th grade I (a girl) we swapped home ec . For industrial arts. Boys cooked, girls got motors. I got straight A's and loved it, can work on anything. Read blue prints. And retired as a carpenter.shwldon. cannt even drive!!

So close, yet so far.

georgie is Great !!!!!!!

Oh snap.... Nice one mate

XD

STONKS

That's a bazinga!

in USA the professionals don´t use a tub with water to find air leaks from tires?

Wouldn't go that far. He's a very successful businessman, Sheldon is a top physicist who went on to win a Nobel Prize. Putting aside the fact that his discovery is as fictional as he is, advancing our collective understanding of the world around us is definitely doing more with your life than owning a store chain. Edit: If you think you have some really clever counter arguments, please be aware of the following. A: No, you don't. B: Whatever you're thinking of saying, it has already been said *repeatedly* throughout this over 200 comments long chain.

Both are successful, one is a multi millionaire the other wins Nobel Prize. But if I were to choose one I'd go with millionaire any day lol

No sheldon got a nobel prize, they have both done stuff which made them successful

Leonard said that they had "passed three of these stores on the way there". It was noted in the show that Dr. Tire is the most successful chain in Texas. So, one would assume there are a very large number stores across the state, and with George owning all of them and being very wealthy.

Sheldon earns alot than george though.

Vice versa.

Young Georgie came first

@@XxHiiaMaFrOGxX hasshahahahahhahahahahsh

But in an interview the kid actors who play young Missy and Georgie said they have never watched their older characters. They made their own personalities and followed the creative team's directions. Still they are doing a damn good job

Young georgie came first… adult georgie came at a later episode of tbbt

Be a Teacher please!

It almost like their very few truly worthless people

It did improve. They're not your loving affectionate brothers cause their Texans. Georgie had issues with. Sheldon as he was treated beyond special, which annoyed him. Then after their father died and he stepped up to be the man in the household. He protected Sheldon from all the issues so that he could pursue his schoolastic career. As it been shown in the big bang theory, Sheldon would quit school to help his family, even if it meant putting his career on hold. Georgie as the older brother cared for him and took the L and struggled further to maintain stability in the family. That's why, when Sheldon apologized to him on their wedding; Georgie accepted it. Because Sheldon wouldn't do anything malicious or manipulative, his to straight forward with his emotions. Sheldon through out the series came to realize that people around him care for him but that he acknowledges that he can oblivious and hurtful without meaning to. I do believe they had a great sibling relationship for how things were

Did you watch the show? It improved but as adults

they actually PATCHED things up. but when it comes to tires. never patch, buy new.

As long as they are both happy in their lives , it’s ok

they literally worked things out in that very scene💀

hey

Saying he "wasn't nearly as smart (book smart) as his brother" is a humongous understatement.

hey

Didn’t we see young George first though? I think Mrs Cooper is the best example of this.

Other way round

@@thannbanis3639 young and old mrs cooper are real life mom and daughter

@@justintrujillo8483 which makes it even better 😉

It's like Obi-Wan levels of casting

I wonder if Sheldon would have done the same for his family that Georgie did. Sheldon can't even get to his job without Leonard or one of the others to drive him. I doubt he would be capable of caring for the whole family when he can't function without everyone else taking care of him.

And Sheldon was an arrogant, self-absorbed brat.

Why immediately work? I got kicked out of high school at 15 went straight on to business and administration course I was the first one in 13 years to pass with straight A's. Sometimes school isn't the best option but finding a course of interest is I found school taught a lot of crap I wasn't interested in there for I wasn't learning

Agreed, but then she ended up with 3 kids and a divorced husband. I'd say of the 3 she's the worse off. A pity since I love little Missy

To me Missy always seemed like she was the actually inteligent one that should have been inteligent if she had gotten a chance and not just solely in the sense of being the emotionally stable one but other aspects of her personality. Then again I feel like people labeling what kind of smart they are sometimes has an opposite effect and deters people who would be good at pursueing academic and educational oppotunrities with the great ideas they have by having them not think that is the kind of smart they are

@@AnzuBrief yes but would it be a surprise. Missy was the empathetic one, who was mostly ignored. Even in this when the two neighbor's are talking about Georgie, how George sr. kind off drops off Missy to have any kind of genius potential, was a joke. But it also shows the unfairness Missy had to deal with growing up. And being empathetic she could adjust for decades,. But such imbalance in family support can show up later in life and that's what likely happened to Missy. There another episode with the psychologists where Missy's potential and ability to read people and their emotions is seen and she's able to do so because she's the one who's usually ignored by all, over her brother's. So no wonder she had a divorce likely with someone who was similar to her brothers and father, because people usually end up marrying what they find familiar. But later on had to divorce such a person as well, if she hadn't addressed by then on how to work through the toxic patterns that were caused by her male role models from her life. I know these two shows are comedies, but they show real life snippets of what happens to men and woman as they grow up. And your comments as well as my recent observations led me to talk about the lost potential of what happens to women, even if they are educated in similar manner by their parents, they aren't always respected, adored or cared for in the same way. Would love a show on Missy, where she finally gets her genius moments, albiet later than Sheldon or Georgie. Imagine later on in life how much worse she would have felt given her life scenarios, and given the success of Sheldon and Georgie. But i am sure she would have tried to do better or be more balanced for her kids given her experience of imbalance seen with her parents raising her and her brothers.

@@spiritual_earthly_insights it's not just the male role models that were the problem. I thought she got married and had babies pretty young not because that's what she wanted but because that's what her mom expected

Good point

That's a 10 year lead time on a tire joke. Maybe in the immediate lead up to introducing Georgie, but not at the series pilot back in 2007.

​@@jamestarbet9608I think the writers maybe thought of it when deciding what type of business Georgie has.

To be fair, it’s HIS gift, and likely not something he could teach to the many employees he has at all of the stores he runs. Since he can’t personally work on everyone’s tires, new tires may be the better option more often than not. Also, it’s a lot more profitable.

Why would anyone wanna be Sheldon? It's a good thing that it's fiction otherwise I can guarantee you that any real person will the personality of Sheldon would have no friends.

Some of the worlds greatest geniuses had very few if not any friends. Newton is probably the best example.

If you were George you'd have to deal with Sheldon

Rich, tall, handsome and likeable? Yeah, good call!

@@Alex-ye9pg Divorced multiple times, so maybe not that rich.

You should. It's really good and hilarious. And I heard it got renewed for more seasons

Bee for goit cuir seet schroob aox

LOL!!!! No, there are some little ways that aren’t but you’d have to be a real geek to notice.

it's a great spin off.....

Haha i loved photography before i became a photographer.

That's the thing I don't know what I like

Which very rarely happens. Most of us just slog away at a job to live, support the family and pay the bills. I did it for 52 years, before retiring and now can do whatever I want. Very freeing and everything I thought it would be.

That quote is honestly pretty bullshit. If you do what you love for a living you'll find your passion dulling quite a bit.

@@ChaosDraguss im with you.

Yes that's probably because Georgie slid away to a parallel dimension.

Really? Which episode did that happen in?

@@theoneitself season 3,I think

They sure could've done better, but his sudden exit was required to have George Sr. Cheat on his wife with a desperate Brenda Sparks..

There was only two way to get him off the show death or divorce. I can't really think of any other way. And reality is sometimes fathers are like that.

@@ArshLX12 makes sense, But also i am sure the show writers are not being so consistent now.

@Hermann Göring yep just bout to say dat

It’s a 6.9 diesel

Things have definitely changed. I'm driving in a car with 126000 miles on it right now. Other than regular maintenance I think I put maybe $600 into repairs.

Vehicles back in the 60s, 70s and 80s. The engine oil at the time wernt that great, and over time gunk would build up. Thus, it was impressive if your car got 100,000 miles.

@@jackiechan_wtf4041 it's also a difference in cost of the vehicle and quality build though. In 1960, a new truck cost about $3,000.( I verified this before posting. The average price was 2760) . Adjusting for inflation, That same truck today would cost about $16,000. So do you want to be able to buy a new truck every 80 thousand miles that is a beater by a hundred and thirty thousand miles for $16,000, or do you want to truck as last 300,000 miles that cost $32,000. This also meant that the used car market was flooded the cars. My first used car in 1976, cost me $200. That's about $650 in today's dollars. And it was a pretty decent 1964 Ford Fairlane.

He can't be that dumb if he can establish and manage a chain of stores across the state of Texas.

He would do anything to get paid money. If he was paid to get straight A’s in school, then, he would get straight a’s.

You focused on the beers too?

YES. Oh my goodness how the heck did they not catch that one??? Totally distracted me!

The fuck is a Goegies?

@@mark80_bojangrunningwild43 Pretty sure they meant to say Georgie's. Just a typo! 🙂

@@sydneyisme I know, am just kidding around lol.

He didn’t fund Sheldon’s college cause Sheldon got a full scholarship.

The way Mary treated the other two kids just encouraged Sheldon's disdain for them. He saw how his mother didn't like her other two kids so his attitude toward was validated in his opinion.

I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed that! It was driving me nuts! 🤣

This was the exact comment I was looking for.

Same!

Same

Many groups of African people claim ( and may be) of Jewish descent. Or maybe the parents just liked the name.
