Description

The Big Bang Theory Did you know? 1 Sheldon Leonard Characters Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter were named after late pioneering American film and television producer Sheldon Leonard. He was also a director, a writer and an actor.

2 Not without alcohol Raj can’t talk to beautiful women if he’s not … drunk! Did you know that this actually happened to a co-worker of Bill Prady (executive producer of the series) at a computer company? Writers get a lot of the things they use from real people and real anecdotes from cast and crew.

3 A glorious institution All four nerds in the series work at Caltech, California Institute of Technology, in Pasadena. It has around 900 students and 1200 graduate students, plus 300 professors. It was founded in 1891 and its motto is Truth shall make you free. But did you know that workers and students of this institution have received 33 Nobel Prizes? That is why Sheldon talks about getting a Nobel Prize all the time.

4 A social syndrome Although the creators have denied it repeatedly, many people (including Jim Parsons) think Sheldon Cooper might have Asperger syndrome. This condition is usually marked by difficulties in social interaction and non-verbal communication, as well as an atypical use of language. All these are present in the character. It is a syndrome derived from autism fairly common among gifted students.

5 Not just a catchphrase In 2012 a team of Brazilian biologists named a newly discovered type of orchid bee Euglossa bazinga. The new plant’s name honours the show, and specifically Sheldon’s catchphrase ‘Bazinga!’. The following year, marine biologists Liza-ann Gerschwin and Peter Dave named a new species of jellyfish Bazinga reiki.

6 A real scientist Mayim Bialik started her career as an actress in the late 1980s and has been involved in acting since then. Prior to her joining the cast, in the episode The Bat Jar Conjecture, Raj suggests recruiting the real-life Bialik to their Physics Bowl team, saying, ‘You know who’s apparently very smart, is the girl who played TV’s Blossom. She got a Ph.D. in Neuroscience or something.’ Well, yes, the actress playing neurobiologist Amy Farraw Fowler has a Ph.D. in Neuroscience.

Language Exploration The Big Bang Theory  SEASON 1. EPISODE 4 (01:00) Sheldon:

Pleased to meet you, Dr. Gablehauser. How fortunate for you that the University has chosen to hire you despite the fact that you’ve done no original research in 25 years and instead have written a series of popular books that reduce the great concepts of science to a series of anecdotes, each one dumbed down to accommodate the duration of an average bowel movement. Mahalo*.

 SEASON 1. EPISODE 8 (19:16) Leonard:

What’s gotten into him?

Penny:

Oh, maybe a couple of virgin Cuba Libres* that turned out to be a little slutty.

Leonard:

You didn’t!

Penny:

You do your little experiments; I do mine.

 SEASON 1. EPISODE 16 (15:35) Howard:

Don’t toy with me, woman.

Penny:

I got a hot former fat girl with no self-esteem; I got a girl who punishes her father by sleeping around, and an alcoholic who’s two tequila shots away from letting you wear her like a hat.

Howard:

Thy will be done.

 SEASON 1. EPISODE 17 (00:51) Leonard:

Why are you learning Chinese?

Sheldon:

I believe the Szechuan Palace has been passing off orange chicken as tangerine chicken, and I intend to confront them.

Leonard:

If I were you, I’d be more concerned about what they’re passing off as chicken.

 SEASON 2. EPISODE 2 (07:35) Sheldon:

Bring out the Red Bull; it’s time to rock Mario* old school!

 SEASON 2. EPISODE 3 (19:26) Sheldon:

I’m surprised that you struck out with Penny; apparently, she’s a big ol’ five.

 SEASON 3. EPISODE 2 (10:22) Sheldon:

And I could easily best you in any physical confrontation. Be it noogies, swirlies, or the classic “why are you hitting yourself?”

Raj:

Oh, big talk from a man who was once treed by a chicken.

 SEASON 3. EPISODE 20 (08:48) Raj:

I haven’t had sex in a year.

Leonard:

Where are you going with this, Raj?

Raj:

Don’t flatter yourself, dude.

 SEASON 4. EPISODE 3 (17:35) Sheldon:

That’s preposterous. I’m not pining for anybody.

Mom:

Oh, lamb chop. We can quibble what to call it, but I think we can both agree it’s creepy!

 SEASON 4. EPISODE 7 (16:18) Sheldon:

I believe you were about to ask me to choose a cocktail. Fortunately, thanks to computer-savvy alcoholics, there’s an app for that.

 SEASON 4. EPISODE 12 (06:30) Raj:

Oh, Leonard is going all alpha nerd on Sheldon’s ass!

 SEASON 4. EPISODE 13 (16:36) Sheldon:

Good morning, everyone and welcome to ‘Science and Society’. I’m Dr. Sheldon Cooper, BS, MS, MA, PhD and ScD. OMG, right?

 SEASON 5. EPISODE 7 (16:43) Leonard:

Damn it. I can’t. I can’t do this.

Alice:

Is it my tongue stud? ‘Cause if that freaks you out, you’re in for a real surprise later on.

 SEASON 5. EPISODE 11 (17:52) Leonard:

Do you think we can outrun him?

Sheldon:

I don’t need to outrun him; I just need to outrun you.

 SEASON 5. EPISODE 13 (12:44) Leonard:

Penny and Leonard 2.0. We can test it internally, shake out the bugs, and if we both think it is solid, we roll it out to the public.

 SEASON 6. EPISODE 16 (02:11) Howard:

Bernie’s a little cranky since she’s been working, like, 17 hours a day. And I’ve got a lot on my plate, too, because I’ve been busting my tail playing Assassin’s Creed*.

 SEASON 6. EPISODE 17 (06:22) Bernadette: It smells pretty ripe in here. You kinda feel it in your eyes.

 SEASON 7. EPISODE 1 (17:55) Amy:

Maybe tomorrow morning we put on some hot pants and see if we could score us some free omelettes.

 SEASON 7. EPISODE 4 (17:24) Sheldon:

Fine. I’m mad at you. Not only did you ruin Raiders* for me, you might have ruined the whole franchise*. Except for the fourth one, which was bad before you got your mitts on it.

 SEASON 7. EPISODE 5 (08:18) Raj:

It wasn’t a pyjama party. It was just a couple of bros hanging out, giggling, eating cookie dough and watching Princess Bride*.

Howard:

Please, stop talking.

Raj:

As you wish*.

 SEASON 7. EPISODE 6 (01:12) Penny:

Aw, what horrible thing are you trying to make up for?

Just putting something in the bank for what horrible thing I do next.
