Just watched Sheldon's birthday and the big reunion in a way. Even though Sheldon and Barry are "rivals" Barry still shows up. Which in case he flirts with Leonard's mother the whole time. Which I sadly found amusing. It was nice to see Leslie again. As we hadn't seen her in literally 6 seasons. I wish she had more parts throughout the show. Stuart trying not to be a shadow yet still is one. I think it was a nice group of characters I think it would have been funny if they managed to get Zack to come.
I’ve been considering watching The Big Bang Theory and I feel like although not everyone will read it this way, I was watching some clips and I think that sometimes the guys can be read as a cautionary tale. There’s something so off-putting about the way they treat Zack. They do apologize, but the way they went out of their way to make him feel bad for not being as smart as they are when he’s legitimately trying to befriend them was sad to watch.
I get that when you’ve been bullied, the feeling that people are always just going to want to make fun of you can be hard to shake. Still, Zack never threw them into lockers. I think when it comes to nerd culture it’s important not to place yourself in a constant position of victimhood so that you’re not unfairly taking your unresolved anger out on people who don’t deserve it.
1 “Oh, NAME, I'm afraid you couldn't be more wrong.” “More wrong? Wrong is an absolute state and not subject to gradation.” “Of course it is. It's a little wrong to say a tomato is a vegetable, it's very wrong to say it's a suspension bridge.”
2 “How old is this Jell-O?” “Well, it's carrots, so I'm gonna say very.”
3 “What kind of music are you thinking of?” “I like all kinds of music, but my favorite genre is free.”
4 “What are you doing here? You're not NAME.” “I thought that might come up. NAME hired me to go shopping with you.”
5 “Come on, you pain in the ass!” “That's me! Bye, NAME.” “Wait! I'm a pain in the ass, too!”
6 “I don't think I've ever felt so rejected. And I had a rescue dog that ran back to the pound!”
7 “You couldn't give us just one weekend?” “I told him/her this was a bad idea.”
8 “How about those guys on that bench over there? They look pathetic. Maybe we could talk to them.” “That's a mirror.”
9 “I don't mean to be rude, NAME, but my life is kinda falling apart right now.”
10 “Hey, NAME.” “Hey.” “Where is everybody?” “I could ask you the same question.” “Wow, this conversation got mean fast.”
11 “I can't believe you went behind my back!” “Which clearly means I want this more!” “You want to play a game of ‘who's more desperate’ with me? 'Cause you're in the big leagues now, Bucko.”
12 “Oh. Oh, my God.” “Yeah. I wanted to look my best for our date, and I made a series of bad decisions one of which is hidden by my pants.”
13 “I know what you're going through. My last break-up was pretty tough.” “Oh, what was his/her name?” “Hey, it's a true story. I don't need the third degree.”
14 “Ready?” “You sure I didn't need to see Paddington 1?” “He's a bear, he talks, no one knows why. You're all caught up.”
15 “I just hope I did the right thing.” “I'm sure you did. Maybe that's the problem, you always do the right thing. Maybe it's time to do the wrong thing?” “Like you're doing right now?” “Exactly.”
Barry Kripke
16 “Yes, yes, yes. He's a jolly good fellow. What time do the strippers arrive?”
17 “That's where I sit.” “Ooh, you have a special spot. What kind of wacko are you?”
18 “Whoa, whoa, whoa. You didn't tell me we were doing this just to stick it to NAME.” “Well --“ “I messing with you. This sundae just got a cherry on top!”
19 “NAME, what would you say to the idea of you and I becoming friends?” “I would say ‘I have no interest in becoming your friend’.”
20 “Nobody cares, NAME. Wrap it up.”
21 “I don't know, NAME. It sounds a little sleazy.” “Well, let me know if you change your mind. Sleazy is where I thrive.”
22 “You see. People have been pointing and laughing at me all morning.” “Not true. People have been pointing and laughing at you your whole life.”
23 “Actually, NAME, we're not going to have strippers tonight.” “Aww, then what the flip did I get $200 in singles out for?”
24 “Can you give us a minute?” “Take your time. I'll walk out backwards for dramatic effect.”
25”Well, well, well. This is a pickle.” “Yes, so, if you will just move your birthday party to a different location, everything will be fine.” “Ugh, it's tricky. I don't want to move my party, but I also don't want to help you. Oh, wait, I don't have a problem.”
26 “My credibility may have been damaged.” “Completely wrecked.”
27 “How was rock climbing?” “He/She passed out. He/She just hung there like a big salami.”
28 “I like to floss before I eat so my gum pockets are open to new food.”
29 “What is his/her problem?”
30 “Hello. How did I walk past you? I'm NAME.” “NAME 2.” “That's not a very hot name. I'm gonna call you NEW NAME.”
31 “All right, NAME, here's all the proof you need.” “Great, thanks.” “Just remember, once you take this envelope, there's no turning back.” “What if I look at it and decide not to use it?” “I had not considered that. Got to hand it to you, you got a real talent for making things boring.” “Thanks.” “Hey, look at that. You did it again.”
Bert
32 “I don't really have dreams, when I sleep or in life.”
33 “He/She was also interested in walking around my house in his/her underwear. Now the only one that does that is me.”
34 “Wow. A scavenger hunt. That's exciting. I had a bit of a scavenger hunt myself last night. I was trying to find the remote. I looked under one of the cushions. Wasn't there. Then I lifted the cushion a little higher. Bingo.” “Riveting.”
35 “Uh, let's-let's do it here, in-in the evenings, after everyone's gone home.” “I just have to see if my evenings are free. That's a joke. They are.”
36 “Well, I really envy your relationship. Other than you two only having sex once a year, you're the perfect couple.”
37 “I'm sure it's just 'cause I'm dating NAME.” “Mm, actually, I think NAME’s popular because he's/she’s dating you.”
38 “Really? You're jealous of us?” “Yeah. I even had this crazy dream last night where I ate you both.” “Seriously?” “Uh. I know. I was pretty out of it.” “Who'd you eat first?” “Oh. Uh, you.” [chuckles] “Nice.”
Zack Johnson
39 [At Person b’s door] “Babe, open up.” “I'm not talking to you.” “Then who are you talking to? Babe?”
40 “So, uh, what are you guys talking about?” “Your friends were just telling me about all the other guys/girls you're dating.” “Why would you do that? I specifically asked you not to do that.” “We didn't.” “You just did.” “Wow. Maybe none of you guys are smart.”
41 “You want to go with em?” “No.” “Okay, see you later.” “Wait, w-w-wait-wait-wait, youre ditching me to go look at comic books?” “Are you mad at me?” “I’m not happy.” “Milk Dud?”
42 “NAME thinks when we broke up, it didn't bother me.” “That's crazy. When we were going out, he/she used to talk about you all the time. In fact, I think he/she only dated me because I reminded him/her of you.” “Sure. Because we're both people?” “Damn right we are.”
43 “Okay, I'm ready. I'm NAME, and I'm, uh ... oh, crap, why is this so hard?”
44 “NAME, this is my friend NAME 2.” “You're hot. You seeing anybody?” “Uh, he’s/she's seeing me.” “Why'd you say he’s:she's your friend?” “We're just keeping it casual.” “Why is he/she being casual with you? You seem great.” “I don't know. Ask him/her.” “Why are you being casual with him/her? He/She seems great.”
45 “It's my fault. I was a terrible husband/wife. I was never around.”
46 “Boy, you get some dirty looks over there when you ask for ice.”
47 “Are you guys fighting?” “Yeah.” “No.” “Are you fighting about whether or not you're fighting? 'Cause I've had that fight before. Turns out we were, and I lost.”
48 “Hey, where's your fiance?” “Oh, he/she couldn't make it. He/She had an emergency.” “Oh, no, what happened?” “I didn't ask.”
49 “So do you have it?” “Of course I do. NAME gave it to me as a gift. You don't get rid of something like that.”
50 “I'm NAME and I'm, uh ... could you come back to me?”
