I could never understand this. Howard was working for Cal Tech. If he needed a 3D printer, surely the university would pay for it! OK, he would have to put in an application for it, and there would be some delay while it went through the system, but it's an entirely reasonable thing for him to have for his work, and represents a tiny fraction of Cal Tech's annual budget, or even his departmental budget.
Funny how Howard makes a valid point about being able to use the printer for work-related production while talking to Raj, but fails to mention it to Bernadette when trying to defend the purchase.
it's stupid anyway; if they had work-related application for the printer, they would surely gotten it from the University. Why spending money to buy your own?
I never understood why Leonard needed penny’s permission to make a stupid purchase. They aren’t married and he makes decent money. Penny rips on him all the time for buying nerd merch; I don’t see why Leonard would suddenly care about what she thinks
My issue is with Leonard having to ask Penny how to spend his money. They are dating not married. Now, Howard should have talked to his wife, Bernadette but I am sure she does not always discuss things with him first.
@@JonatasAdoM I do not think talking with your wife before spending money is wrong. But married people should have a his and her account. This would come out of his account.
I don't know 'bout you, but the quote in description should've been Raj's line " True. They 're practically givin' them away. You know, in exchange for money" That's hysterical 😂
How does Howard make “peanuts” as a Master Engineers from a decent school? 5k for the occasional dumb purchase sounds doable even without relying on the wife money
Bruh, the biggest logical fallacy I have seen on the show is that 'physicists don't make a lot of money'. Uni professors make a lot of money. So do engineers. And professors have a job for life if they are tenured.
it never dawned on me how stupid Howard was here for mentioning tiny little dolls as the primary reason to get a 3D printer, instead of actually useful things like the benefits it could give to his work
IT's amazing how much the prices of 3d printers HAVE gone down. A Creality Ender 3 is only like $160 today and I just bought an Anycubic Kobra Max on sale for $420.
Howard is an Idiot, He could have told Bernadette that it was an investment. Print out half a dozen dolls of him in a variety of Super Hero Poses and wearing Batman’s outfit and Superman’s as well as ALL the major Comic book heroes (DC & Marvel) do the same for Raj and Lenard and Sheldon. THEN bring all the dolls with them to the next Comic-Con and show them off to all the other “Nerds” and tell them they can make them dolls of them in any Super Hero/Super Villain for 200$ each The 3D printer cost 5k So make 25 dolls at 200$ each and the machine has paid for itself. They could also display the dolls at Stewart’s Comic Book shop and Charge 225$ each (Give Stewart 25$ per doll sold) since they are using his display case to display their products And likely in less than 2-3 months they would be turning a profit.
@@constantdvdcollector Fair Point. However people dress up as Marvel/DC characters all the time for "Halloween/Costume Parties/Children's Birthday Parties" and frequently not from "Official DC/Marvel" costumes sold in stores, so while DC & Marvel *WOULD HAVE* a legitimate Copyright Infringement case, this would be such a small potatoes case I doubt they would even take the time to go after them, the worst likely scenario would be that they would receive a "Cease and Desist" letter, at which point they would simply stop offering their Dolls. That is what happens in most of these cases. But by then they likely would have made back their 5k and then some.
The funny thing is the 3D ones had skin that was too dark for either Bernie or Howard! The dolls they ordered in the mail, Rajes didn't look anything like him but Howard's was quite uncanny! I'd love a doll of myself and my cat that would be so cute, might have to look into that, bet it would be expensive though 😢
I would do it too. Except you'll need to pray a lot your partner doesn't check the bills/get a notif about spending over 5k. So I'd rather talk before buying any major purchase
On the one hand Howard should’ve talked about it with Bernadette. And on the other, Bernadette shouldn’t have spoken down to him like that treat him like a child and weak. Not a great couple
This is one of the scenes where I started to find Bernadette annoying. Why the hell would you want to return a 3D printer? You can create all kinds of stuff to sell to make back the money!
You can make your money back creating different products and selling them online. There's literally billions of possible sales you could tap into to recoup your five k funds . How about action figures of your favorite celebrities like Bill Nye professor proton that dude in wheel chair that black guy who always talking about space forget his name but he's a science guy, spock, McCoy, Picard, Kirk etc etc
Howard comes off as a sleeze in this but it's literally what women do all the time, minus some exaggeration, and we just call it normal in our society...
Exactly. Woman buys a few hundred or even thousand dollars worth of clothes and shoes despite rarely wearing any of them = normal. Hubby can help fund it right?
Magically? Bro, she’s a microbiologist who got scouted by a pharmaceutical company. All of this happened in the story. You thought you did something there by adding feminism lol

true but then it wouldn't be a funny storyline and this is a sitcom, so they needed the 3d printer plot this way. typical sitcom silliness.
Thing is.... he didn't need it.
And he wouldn’t make peanuts as an experienced engineer there.
Yeah right!!! Like the university is going to give money to someone who doesn’t even have a doctorate!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@Joseph_Martini But they wouldn't be giving money to HIM, they're giving it to THEIR engineering department.
Funny how Howard makes a valid point about being able to use the printer for work-related production while talking to Raj, but fails to mention it to Bernadette when trying to defend the purchase.
Yeah I always wondered why he doesn’t bring up the work related applications because I think she would be much more open to the idea then
He can also turn that into an action figure side business based on real customers.
@@DarkWater4Eva he could
I'm liker 100🎉 on this comment world!😅

Because he's Leonard and he genuinely trusts her/takes her opinion into consideration.
Yeah cal tech engineers make 90k a year. Those arent peanuts.
God damn really. Holy crap. 😅
It is peanuts in USA. Especially in LA.
It's peanuts in today's economy. You can't even come close to buying a home with that kind of money these days.
It is in Southern Califorinia.
Imagine how much Bernadette makes.
“My wife came with fun bags and money bags.” Oh Howard! Hahahaha!
I mean he aient wrong 😅
Is he on about her jugs?
Simon stole the show
I cracked up when I saw Howard’s doll 😂
The one Howard made or the one that looks Like Toucan Sam?
I thought that it looked like Gru’s nose but wider 😂😂
@@leonardowynnwidodo9704he looked like one of the goblins in Harry Potter
Do I look smug? I feel smug… We were all Leonard at that moment😂
The only time in his pathetic life he felt smug
When I saw Howard's nose I died laughing😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My issue is with Leonard having to ask Penny how to spend his money. They are dating not married. Now, Howard should have talked to his wife, Bernadette but I am sure she does not always discuss things with him first.
The latter is also wrong, but since she makes more I'm sure she'd do it.
@@JonatasAdoM I do not think talking with your wife before spending money is wrong. But married people should have a his and her account. This would come out of his account.
Hahahahhaha Howard’s action figure looks like Gru
Yep
Omg I just noticed that!!!
I don't know 'bout you, but the quote in description should've been Raj's line " True. They 're practically givin' them away. You know, in exchange for money" That's hysterical 😂
If only Howard or Raj had come up with the idea of selling dolls to people of their favorite Cal Tech scientists. That would've made Bernadette happy
That would have made them money.
@@JonatasAdoM exactly.
Oh my God, are you actually thinking about it?!
C'mon babe. You know who you married.
He did after all, try to use a robot arm for....um...things.
@@millsyinnzwhere's the rest of the robot?
@@haroldgamarra7175 All he needed was the arm.
Bernadette was pissed.
The Fact he Thought about making the "Lady Parts" was funny af.
How does Howard make “peanuts” as a Master Engineers from a decent school? 5k for the occasional dumb purchase sounds doable even without relying on the wife money
0:58 Sign on the door is misspelt resticted area
Howard's original action figure is kind of accurate.
Raj without the accent scared me
Me too 😂😂
0:33, I’m surprised Howard didn’t sue the toy company for anti-semitism.
Melt in your mouth caramel...😅
I didn't know Kevin Hart made an appearance on this show.
Action Figures... 😅😂😅😂😅😂
Raj doll , 10X his tan...😂😂😂😂 & the fro bro 😮😮😮
I feel like the "can use it to make work prototypes and specialized tools" was *probably* the reason he should've given to Bernadette haha
"HE'S RIGHT, DAWG." XD
2:19 i would definitely invest time and money for this. Make my own line of action figure toys and even make cool play sets.
I mean Malibu Koothrappali and his totally bitching dreamhouse sounds cool.
Maybe Brock Ragni's awesome Aston Martin.

Bruh, the biggest logical fallacy I have seen on the show is that 'physicists don't make a lot of money'.
Uni professors make a lot of money. So do engineers. And professors have a job for life if they are tenured.
I’m sure they all do well but they live in a very expensive area
it never dawned on me how stupid Howard was here for mentioning tiny little dolls as the primary reason to get a 3D printer, instead of actually useful things like the benefits it could give to his work
First thing Bernadette asks is how much they were.
3:46 number 1 rule of husband. Don't tell your wife nothing. Shut your blebering mouth. She asks were they expensive you say Nope. And that's it.
5k is a lot for a printer that can print such figurines. A 250 bucks Ender 3 can do it just as well.
Bernadette had the right to be angry
she didn't
Howard’s reasoning was what made her more angry than the initial purchase. Her dad was right to make him sign a prenup.
I’d be pretty pissed if my partner spent 5K of my money I worked hard for.
IT's amazing how much the prices of 3d printers HAVE gone down. A Creality Ender 3 is only like $160 today and I just bought an Anycubic Kobra Max on sale for $420.
0:45 Maybe Wesley Snipes and Toucan Sam just got action that look like you guys
Just realized Leonard implies Howard’s figure looks like Toucan Sam and also the astronauts nicknamed Howard Froot Loops
He really could’ve left out the price tag.
Howard is an Idiot,
He could have told Bernadette that it was an investment. Print out half a dozen dolls of him in a variety of Super Hero Poses and wearing Batman’s outfit and Superman’s as well as ALL the major Comic book heroes (DC & Marvel) do the same for Raj and Lenard and Sheldon.

What about copyrighting issues with Marvel and DC?
@@constantdvdcollector Fair Point.

howard.. funbags and money bags...hahaha
That's a great idea, no talking involved.
Lucky I'm not Howard because if I were him I wouldn't have told the truth of how he got a 3D printer to his wife
I would do it too. Except you'll need to pray a lot your partner doesn't check the bills/get a notif about spending over 5k. So I'd rather talk before buying any major purchase
I can guarantee you most people will notice a big hole like 5k
On the one hand Howard should’ve talked about it with Bernadette.
And on the other, Bernadette shouldn’t have spoken down to him like that treat him like a child and weak.
Not a great couple
Yep, women disrespect men who make less than them and it often doesn't last long. Women naturally prefer men who make more.
A couple like that wouldn't last IRL
Yes I always think they aren't that well suited, even though they are both small, I think Howard is much better with Raj tbh.
Raj's action figure has the wrong skin color and Howard's was almost flawless but had a nose of a Goblin.
He could've easily gotten out of it by saying "Don't worry it's for work, I just used it to make these dolls once" or something like that.
Doll looks exactly like Howard. ❤
MIT engineer at Caltech is never going to be paid peanuts. Period.
This is one of the scenes where I started to find Bernadette annoying. Why the hell would you want to return a 3D printer? You can create all kinds of stuff to sell to make back the money!
Howard’s doll looked like him though 😂😂
I’m not saying he should, but Howard could have lied and said “We got a new 3-D Printer at the university”
tbh, they can just make a business out of those 3d printer.
$5000 is such a big amount in USA?
Why is Howard using an X-Box Knect camera,..??>
I don't buy it that Howard makes little money
That Val Kilmer joke 👎👎👎👎

Women buying dildos to "aid their marriage." Yeah that's literally the same as a man making a sex doll from a 3d printer.
5000 dollars on a purchase made on a whim is a lot though.

Rajs doll is racist but Howard is very accurate
Give me 30 Silver to Put Howard’s doll on a cross
Bernadette magically makes more money because feminism. Watch the critical drinker's take on the strong female character
Based on near where they are, Microbiologists actually earn more, not feminism
Magically? Bro, she’s a microbiologist who got scouted by a pharmaceutical company. All of this happened in the story. You thought you did something there by adding feminism lol
A racist and anti-Semitic company making fun of their features and exaggerating them, like the ol' "giant bulbous nose."
