[@EvelynRobinson22]

Jim saying what's the point if nobody wins reminded me of something Sheldon would say lol

[@VandaWii]

LovesLifeandLaughs so truhhhh

[@rickyg8462]

LovesLifeandLaughs I thought the same thing

[@jo-annbastings]

Loves Life and Laughs YESSSSS!! A tipical Sheldon attitude! I love Parsons!

[@sreejajayan1271]

"No one loses ...why are we doing this?"....classic Sheldon 😂😂

[@Oneandonly289]

[@SingingPixels]

"Explain the plot of the movie" dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun XD

[@nijjijjion204]

I can't think of a recent movie (at least this past 2 decades) that has such a catchy soundtrack... Everything is just so similar and not catchy. You had Ghostbusters, star wars, Jaws.... Now I would recognize my favorite soundtracks like lord of the rings, but the majority wouldn't get it like those previous films.
Thinking harder the only thing people would know quite a bit would be the inception BWAAHM. lol

[@Sandivswims]

NijjijjioN what about Harry Potter with "Hedwig's Theme" or hunger games whistle thing

[@haydenleppert2520]

Sheldon Cooper

[@randomdude2540]

have you been living under a rock?

[@peterpukdeesri6094]

LoseControlAMVz he's the guy in the movie "garden state" for me.

[@mstrainjr]

So hard to believe that Jim Parsons is 43.

[@WeThePeople_FJB]

M. Strain Jr. He looks about 33

[@shahzaib.q9499]

he acts like 13

[@aj563]

M. Strain Jr. WHAT!!!!!!!! HE'S 43!!!!!!

[@Arcadapapaya]

M. Strain Jr. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@JC-rm6pm]

harder to believe he is not Sheldon Cooper

[@GuidoIsTheName]

With Jim Parsons doing so good, now you have to have the ultimate 5- second summary showdown between him and Andy Samberg since they both did the best!!

[@oo0o0]

Well, those are some long 1 seconds.

[@starxhilmie]

thats what she said...

[@Rickie_Speed]

The joke was "well, those are some long 1 seconds". The word "words" was not in the sentence. Come on you can read.

[@Crustybuns]

I like how the clock speeds up after that first second

[@EndohMiharu]

When literally every second counts, 1 second is always longer than you think.

[@justindoan4258]

No but look a 3:15 and as soon as he flips that card start counting. It is a long second...

[@Edunne125]

I love how when Jim gets worried he lifts himself up in the chair

[@emilyt182]

3:19 Jim, your Sheldon is showing

[@TCt83067695]

You're the best Dr Cooper

[@lar9299]

You gotta love Jim Parsons! He seems like the nicest guy. Bet he is one of those best-friend-kinda guy you can always rely on to hang out and laugh, and the one you turn for help when you're in trouble. Wish I could meet him someday

[@nachitokpnoadventure]

sounds like you don't, either.

[@cdwhenry]

[@MrRandomCheeseGuy]

Please, no one fight and no one be rude.

[@nachitokpnoadventure]

ThePickle You're right. I'm sorry. We should just enjoy the show.

[@youngbarrel-roll4649]

lar hjp STFU

[@Yoxidelf]

I cannot help but smile every time he laughs, I love him so much.

[@eleven2717]

And i can not stop laughing when he smiles

[@hyacinthdibley]

I like how he hovers over his seat and kicks the air right when he's about to answer. hahaha

[@colindomenek1996]

"Jaws"
"THANK YOU!!!!"

[@MrStephanieJChia]

Jim's expression at 2:14 when Jimmy started shouting "Merry christmas! Merry christmas!"

[@bananasforcabello1678]

Am I the only one who thinks Jim Parsons looks a LOT like Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory?

[@FuDgySHaNkZx]

+Maria Lainvoo Im pretty sure it was sarcasm😂

[@Beagleboy72500]

BananasforCabello That's because he is Sheldon

[@GamingBullLP]

you can't be serious

[@donaldtrumpin7046]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@hermessantos1343]

BananasforCabello I know right? it's like if they were the same person! strange!

[@chinita1pr]

Jim is so down to earth in all his interviews. He was about to have a heart attack, lol. I love him.

[@jillianfeeney5230]

i really love how after jimmy said jaws, jim just screamed "THANK YOU"

[@girishshigwan3264]

just love how jim literally gets on the edge and up at 2:17 and 4:09 from his seat everytime he is a wee bit stressed. ha ha what a lovebubble !!

[@liatnoten3762]

Hahah you're not supposed to say any of the actors' names but Jim got lucky since Shaq wasn't actually in that movie and still helped Jimmy get it. 😂😂

[@harshithanagalakshmichaluv7437]

[@SuperLoveLexi]

Jim is so adorable when he's nervous

[@mrsmathis_entj]

It’s insanely hard not to think about Sheldon. It’s like Sheldon’s acting as Jim

[@iredemption7704]

That moment when you watch the thumbnail and there are 2 Jimmys.

[@98tam]

[@chrisbrown456]

Petar Vujčić ive had a problem with him for a LONG time

[@chrisbrown456]

Aaron Cole THANK U

[@kitty6720]

I just love Jim Parsons. He has a really lovable personality, but he also has that ironic and sarcastic side to him, or so it seems to me. I really hope that BBT will continue for at least another (11th) season but I also want to see him in other projects outside of BBT. I think he can do more.

Sheldon Cooper. Sheldon would use correct grammar and punctuation while correcting someone.

"I swear to God, Sheldon, one day I’m going to get the hang of talking to you."

[@hermessantos1343]

LeoDaLion 7 That's right! One of my favourite lines of the show.

[@starxhilmie]

sheldon doesnt believe God

[@hermessantos1343]

SkankHunt 42 It doesn't matter. The one who swears is supposed to believe, and it's not him.

[@hermessantos1343]

Sheldon Cooper Okay sweetie.
Wait, what?

[@skane6560]

It was so adorable and relatable how worried he got about the game. I would feel the same way, it's too much pressure.

[@ChaseYu]

Jim Parsons to Sheldon Cooper is like Jesse Eisenberg to Mark Zuckerberg, there's no Parsons but only Sheldon Cooper and no Eisenberg but only Mark Zuckerberg.
the actor is the living character.

[@pankhudibhavate]

LMAO 2:48 Such a Sheldon thing!!!

[@lloyd7183]

There are just some actors that play a character so good that you can only ever see them as that character even in real life. Jim Parsons is one of those actors (as well as RDJ).

[@maq396]
