I'm honestly astounded that Leonard didn't kill Sheldon in this moment
There should have been other legal ways to avoid searching the owners of the cd.
Leonard isnt very smart
Don't worry, Leonard slaps him
That was the look Amy had, she just knew she was going to witness a murder.
@@leahsincelejo7641 o yes I know most cathartic moment in the show. No one has earned the right to smack Sheldon more than Leonard
He slapped the shit out of him at the end
Howard is like that kid in class who reminds the teacher to set homework
Nah he is the one that throws others under the bus
@@LS-MotoI’m pretty sure he’s bold and I am an agent of chaos but that was just cruel on his be part
Here trolling has an older word, candelero.
I did that once! As the not so good student of the class, it didn't make any difference for me if the teacher would appoint 1 task or 50! So I was like "What? Only that?" And he just kept adding! 🤣😂 Boy, I was marked for death after that by my classmates!
Wouldn’t it be Sheldon
"And that's when I shot him, your honor."
😂😂😂😂
The court has found you innocent
"But I... You... How... WHAT?!?!?"🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Leonard sweater is so itchy I can’t believe he wore the whole day as a bet. I’m glad he finally stood up to Sheldon and I told him he wouldn’t to do.
All things considered, Leonard brought this on himself for not accepting Sheldon’s stance on not having unresolved issues.
No Sheldon is a prick who expects the world to revolve around him
The fact that they put up with sheldon is questionable
Not questionable downright insane and nonsensical.
The show pandered to Sheldon for no logical reason
Leonard is responsible for his own misery here. He shouldn't have accepted the challenge in the first place but he thought he could live with what Sheldon goes through on a regular basis. At least he could just remove the sweater whenever he wants. The only reason Leonard suffered is his desire to show Sheldon, something he had complete control over. He could have quit anytime. Sheldon has no such control over the itch in his brain. Maybe Leonard now realizes how wrong he was about all the unresolved closure issues Sheldon has.
@@ToCam-fl8ry your right
Leonard doesn’t have a backbone since his mom broke it
Nah Sheldon is all right in fact only he and Bernadette are fine rest are jerks and if you can't see it then you have a poor eyes
2:53 You could tell Leonard wanted to KILL Sheldon.
2:56 WHAT???!!!
I totally sympathized with Leonard with his reaction to the sweater itself. My brother and I had to wear matching sweater/ shirts to a family get together in 90°+ weather. They had to be a blend of wool and raw fiberglass. This was 50+ years ago, my cousin still rags me about it, but she could also sympathize, girls are always made to wear uncomfortable stuff by their moms.
As someone with obsessive compulsive tendencies as well as anxiety, I actually really appreciate this episode. I even use it to explain why I can’t just “let things go” or “not let it bother me” like normal people can. It’s not a choice. This is how our brains feel, and we don’t get to turn it off because it’s inconvenient.
👏🏼
This is my go to, when explaining my brain.
I have OCD too. And yes, it feels as sheldon describes. BUT, I absolutely DO NOT use iy as an excuse to make others' lives difficult
2:33 - 2:56 Typical reaction of a Saw trap victim when the twist is revealed.
Seriously, what Sheldon did to Leonard is very Jigsaw levels evil.
Well this certainly made you crazy Leonard Hofstadter! My god these characters in this show just really crack me up! 😆🤣😂
I saw this episode on Max with my girlfriend and let me tell you, I felt so bad for Leonard for having to put up with this kind of torture from Sheldon. I know murder isn't allowed on a show like this, but the look Leonard gave was the look of "you're lucky I don't a have a gun right now, you selfish bastard".
So many people are missing the point that this is how Sheldon feels several times a week, often because of how the others treat him. It's a common problem for autistic people (to varying degrees).
But he's not autistic hisother had him tested
@@Darrenlinkon He's not crazy/insane: his mother had him tested.
@JWildberry he displays wierd traits yeah but that's cause of his iq not autism
@@Darrenlinkon No, it isn't. Every single "weird trait" Sheldon has is a stereotypical autistic trait. That's not by accident.
Even the "I'm not insane, my mother had me tested" bit is spot on. It happened to me 20 years before I got my autism diagnosis.
@JWildberry an iq of 187 has all these traits as well if he had autism he'd know he's a world class physics smarter than Stephen hawking's he'd know if he needs a diagnosis
Sheldon should’ve been put in the hospital with a broken everything after doing this to his “best friend”.

Leonard brought it on himself here lol
@@ToCam-fl8ry Exactly, Leonard seems to have this “Never My Fault” attitude about any argument he gets into with Sheldon. Sure Sheldon wasn’t the best at emotional communication with anyone, but any time Leonard gets into it he always has to be in the Right, whether it was going to Wil Wheatons party, the Roommate Agreement, even the stupid food truck. I think because of his mothers cold relationship, Leonard always has to fight back because he was conditioned to think, “I have done nothing wrong other than exist, and any punishment I receive was given only because I failed to measure up to the standards of an insane loveless robot.”
Both sheldon and leonard have pretty sane reactions for they're iq level most people with 173 iq are mental
1:41 Leonard: Why isn't this bothering you? Isn't your brain getting itchy? This is on your card this coulf be ruining your credit score! Why isn't this making you crazy?!
Sheldon: "Leonard, I have something to tell you, but I want you to promise not to flip out. Seven years ago, I found out the DVD was late, and I paid for it. I was going to mention it at the time, but then I thought 'someday, this might be a teachable moment'."
If ever there was a time for there to be a breaking point for Leonard.
"So what you're saying is I wore a sweater that make me feel like I rolled around in poison ivy for NOTHING?!"
Well, Leonard did learn one lesson.
@@jamestown8398 A lesson in empathy?
Sheldon actually has a point about learning to resolve issues as quick as you can.
By spending several days torturing Leonard with a sweater that he was obviously allergic too given that rash. That was way petty and over the line.
@@lieutinantwhoareyou8839To be fair, leonard could have give up or not Wear it in secret.
Why didn't Leonard just lie and say he found the owner and paid him?
You think that Sheldon will not check on it ?
@@ozzyparker6964 How would he check that?
@@liamdude5722 are you don’t know who’s Sheldon ? He’s loco, dude
This episode shows that Leonard is just as insane as Sheldon.
“fLiEf FaH fOoH… WHAT?!?!?!?”
Leonard brought this on himself this time (season 7 episode 8) Sheldon actually did not force Leonard to do this. Leonard accepted the challenge himself. Leonard should've take off the sweater the second it started to discomfort him. Leonard may be the straight man but he can be just as bad as Sheldon and even Howard.
If Leonard was like Arthur Fleck from Joker I'm pretty sure he would've immediately shot Sheldon in the head with a gun
💀
I love Amy's comment at the end of this segment (not shown in the video above)
Yes Sheldon was awful to his so called friend but let’s not forget what Howard did. Howard is constantly belittled by Sheldon and saw the red marks on Leonard’s body but chose to make Leonard suffer even more because reasons.
This episode would have fit nicely in its always sunny in Philadelphia but you just can’t but feel uncomfortable watching this and not in a good way.
I feel bad for Leonard
Me too.
Why? He’s the idiot that chose to accept the challenge. Nobody was forcing him to keep the sweater on. He even refused to take it off with Sheldon not around
😞
Nobody was forcing his ass to take the bet. Don’t sympathize with that idiot.
Poor Leonard.😔
2:35 you could tell it took all of Leonard’s self control to not strangle Sheldon right at that moment
"This might be a teachable moment."
So many people missed the point of what was happening. 😂
after 2:05 lenard hates sheldon i bet lol
Man, Sheldon just doesn’t know when to quit, and it takes real strength to put up with his attitude.
Anyone appreciating Amy's expressions?
I sure would appreciate it.
Exactly what was Sheldon trying to teach Leonard?
It was to express how he feels when certain things were left undone. Basically how he thinks. When you have unfinished business, there are those who don’t let it bother them and others that cannot do anything until it is settled. For the viewers its a good lesson on how others are different but this was just a reason to bully him like everyone else did.
Okay, the itchy sweater represents Sheldon's brain and how things can really irritate him, it's like his brain itches when his routine is interrupted or he can't find closure. Leonard at least could take the sweater off to find relief.
@@scorchx3000so he has closure issues so do I but you don't see me doing this shit
Don't give Sheldon that much credit. He was just getting back at Leonard for not returning a video that he had already paid for years ago. It was ridiculously petty.
@Darrenlinkon the issue here is that for some people the issues are compulsive and its clear from the way he is on the show, Sheldon falls into that group. People experiencing that literally cannot just "get over it". For some people breaks in routine or unfinished business can lead to self harm or breakdowns. Sheldon was diabolical, but Leonard's lack of empathy and disbelief on how things like this could affect him were also shitty. Everyone sucked here tbh.
2:31 run for it
🏃♀️
Run away, Amy. They are both mental. Run, girl, run.
🏃♀️
I wish this show was realistic
. All the hot girls want Leonard? Lies lol
Every time I see this clip I have to go look up the one where Leonard slaps Sheldon.
What season is that?
Trust me, if one of my friends do this to me, I swear, the next day his body will be found in the local pond.....
2:53
^ But I…you…how…WHAT⁉️
2:43😂
Deviousness at best
if i was leonard i would have beaten the crap out of sheldon
👊
It looks like Leonard got some serious sunburn.
💢
Leonard should’ve realized he was dealing with sheldon and eliminate all ties. He knows what he is.
You know, I like to imagine an epilogue like this:
(Sheldon is rubbing cream into Leonard’s chest, while Penny stands over him.)
Sheldon: “Leonard, it was wrong of me to send you on a wild goose chase just to make a point, and I’m sorry.”
Penny: “Again!”
Sheldon: “Leonard, it was wrong of me to send you on a wild goose chase just to make a point, and I’m sorry.”
Penny: “Again!”
Sheldon: “You’re just going to make me repeat it again and again until it gets stuck in my head, aren’t you?”
Penny: “Yes, and it’ll be a brain itch you deserve! Oh, and if Leonard needs a skin graft, you’re our first choice!”
Sheldon: “Why? I did nothing-”
Penny: “Ah-ah! I don’t want to hear any excuses from you! Now come on! Back to it! And try being sincere in your apology!”
(And Sheldon ‘apologises’ through the credits)
Wait, how does one sleep at the bottom of a pool?
I feel sorry for Leonard,sorry because he and Sheldon watched the Super mario bros movie,if i were them,i would have destroyed the copy
🙁
Really ❓❓🤷♂️🤷♂️ and where was that sweater stored in an alley and who’s sweater was it
1:28
2:35
2:41
2:56
And this is why you never make any deals/bets with Sheldon
Or accept bets from Sheldon.
To be honest, as soon as Sheldon had told Leonard the place was closed down that should have been the end of it.
If you rent something from a company and the company no longer exists, you legally have no one left to return it to.
Leonard was foolish for allowing Sheldon to intimidate him into going through the whole search. Then Sheldon reveals he took care of the fine years ago. This episode proves what a mean person Sheldon is.
Sheldon has always been mean.
Nothing new here.
I wouldn't call him mean. He taught him a lesson. It was just extreme.
@@houchi69its called being arsehole

Sheldon does things because that's how his brain is wired, not out of malice. Leonard knows better and he's always been mean, and a bit of a bully.

That's the thing though, Sheldon does have the ability to control the itch over his brain. Maybe not immediately, but he's more than intelligent enough to recognize he could go to therapy to alleviate the symptoms and take the mental sweater off. Instead, he refuses to even consider the notion that he should change and actively chooses to be obnoxious and make his problems everyone else's.
@@kasbakgaming This is the thing about mental problems, no matter how high is you IQ, the disease will hit you with the same intesity.
@@koroiobr1326 Granted, but a higher level understanding gives you insight into the science behind why the brain behaves the way it does and how it can be conditioned to alter this response. Sheldon has plenty of intelligence to understand this, so the fact that he continues to behave this way shows that it's a willful choice, and he either refuses to see himself as the problem or just doesn't care enough about the people around him to take the steps needed to adjust his behavior.
@@kasbakgaming Make sense.
@@kasbakgamingThe brain can only be re-conditioned to an extent. There are aspects of it that can't be managed with rational thinking, in the same way that logically understanding how cancer spreads would not stop it from doing so.
Honestly one of my favorite Sheldon moments, so diabolical
It was cut out at the end of this video, but that’s EXACTLY what Amy said.
Yes, a Sheldon getting his ass kicked for being scum moment.
agreed this is one of my favorite episodes
@@dougbrowne9890for what? Leonard is a grown man, nobody forced him to keep the sweater ...
@@mourka01 My favorite episode by far. Leonard is always so sleazy, it was well deserved.
There is no context, therefore there is no humour.
So many criticized sheldon here, but in fact this was one episode were sheldon wasnt the problem. Leonard and sheldon made a simple bet due to leonard not understanding how sheldon feels when credits scores and unfinished bussiness happens. It was a simbolical message and one of the very few episodes where you could fins sheldon more relatable then leonard to be exact.
Hated sheldon so much in this episode.
💢
The people leaving comments getting triggered, so the episode was successful and earned a reaction from you. Nice. Now calm down and remember it’s NOT REAL and making comments about someone ending up in the bottom of a pond just shows how sad you are.
I never caught this episode hence why I don’t understand what’s going on here
1:38 leonard loves hamas????
he meant hummus
I believe this is yours? Not anymore.
in real life he would have been shot. especially in the usa

Which Super Mario bros movie was it Len-nered and Sheldon had?
The 1990's one or the 2023 one because i like the new one better.❤
The 2023 one in an episode made years ago

I would have kicked sheldon in the head🤦♂️
🤕
I genuinely don't understand why what Sheldon did wasn't completely valid and well thought.
I think most people forgot what this episode was about, why Sheldon did it, and what he wanted to tell Leonard by doing this. I know the general consensus on this episode is that Sheldon is a dick but this itchy sweater that tortured Leonard is exactly how Sheldon feels when something is not done properly. I have a close friend with similar attributes to Sheldon and seeing how much she struggles with stuff that I don’t even give a second glance to really makes me understand Sheldon's issues a little.
We need more people like you! As someone who also shares similar attributes with Sheldon, let me say thank you...
… this isn’t about being understanding. This is someone torturing their “friend” intentionally. Anyone with a pair of eyes can see this is cruel and malicious, and if your friend or likewise people think thats ok, you’re not gonna like how someone irl would handle you afterwards
Oh, shut up. There is no way you can compare actual physical reactions in the body to your mental diarrhea. Stuff in the body happens to you, you are responsible for what drama happens inside your head. Sheldon and your friend should just get over it. Their mental nonsense should never bring harm to others.
@@zachtemoro2116how come Sheldon tortures Leonard? Has he threatened Leonard to kill Penny or someone else if he removes the sweater? No, he just said: if you remove the sweater before completing the task, you lose...
Is that a torture or the revelation that Leonard is the dick here by submitting his body to this extreme just to "disprove" Sheldon?
@this guy gets it. Leonard's biggest enemy was his ego.
I hated this episode . Sheldon is an abusive prick
💢
So many sensitive babies in the comments. I would dub this the mother of all pranks. It's brilliant!
I would have bitchslapped Sheldon so hard his bona fides would actually turn into null sets.
💢
This is definitively the moment where Leonard _should have killed Sheldon._ And he should've killed Howard too.
And the myriad of comments that I've seen, actually _condoning_ if not _defending_ Sheldon's actions here, literally make me sick...
Sheldon is not the arbiter of morality; he does not reserve or even _deserve_ the right to teach his "friends" moral lessons that only seem to benefit _him._
You might think that the _itch_ in Sheldon's mind drives him crazy until something is done correctly...it doesn't. Sheldon is fully capable of _getting over it,_ because time and time again throughout the series, _Sheldon is Wrong,_ and it never seems to bother him.
What Sheldon did here, equates to _literal torture._ He caused physical harm to Leonard's body for no other reason than to "teach Leonard a lesson," as if he's somehow disciplining a disobedient servant...
Meanwhile...he did all of this, with the prior knowledge that the issue had _long-since_ been resolved by his own hands, and only ever brought-it-up, just so he would have the excuse to use this teachable moment...
Sheldon is a _sociopath._ He knows the difference between right and wrong, but he doesn't _care about it,_ because he feels he is _superior to it._ And everyone in his life is literally just a toy, unwillingly participating in the game of life he plays...
This series realistically would have ended with Sheldon (and Howard) being murdered, and Leonard going to prison. And frankly, I'd like to imagine Leonard being taken-away with a smile on his face...
wrong because 1. it was not about morality, the point was exactly to show Leonard, how Sheldon's brain works and that he can't stop it. He has some form of autism, almost for sure Asperger's syndrome, It's all in the brain, and the brain governs a human, we don't have control over our brains, and neither has Sheldon.
2. It was not torture by Sheldon at all because Leonard could take off the sweater any time he wanted!! Sheldon didn't put a gun to his head and didn't have the power to force Leonard to keep wearing the sweater. The point is exactly that Leonard is actually arrogant, thinking he can prove Sheldon wrong, while all he did he prove Sheldon right. This is why Penny also doesn't respect Leonard even tho he is her husband later - because Leonard only whines, doesn't understand what Sheldon means, then thinks he is right, then does smth he regrets, yet keeps doing the same. Leonard is a definition of pathetic and he does this to himself, not Sheldon.
Sheldon dont forced Leonard to do this, Leonard did this because he want to teach a lesson to Sheldon.
You clearly haven't seen the whole episode. Leonard WILLINGLY put on the sweater to prove something to Sheldon. Sheldon's entire point here was that when something isn't done right he has an inch in his head that won't stop. He said that if leonard thought it wasn't a big deal to put it on until it gets resolved. This kinda challenge was fully avoidable but again was willingly accepted. You act like Leonard had NO choice in the matter. Howard however was for no real reason an antagonist in this, who just wanted Chaos.
Is Sheldon a psychopath or a sociopath? Or both?
Look up what those definitions actually mean.
@@OneofInfinity. Awww I pissed off a Sheldon fan. You people are always too sensitive.
No idea, saw the definitions on Google, seems like both but could be only because of something like Bernadette said ' the analytical part of his brain is giving a wedgie to his emotional part of the brain'
@@Nikita-qb7xdYou obviously don't know what a sociopath or psychopath is. Sheldon at worst falls under Narcissist. And even that is debatable.
@@thomaswest2583 oh yeah, a guy who can’t spell sociopath or narcissist will tell me what it means.
To be honest, this is my least favorite episode. I have known sadistic people in my life, and Sheldon reminded me of that in this episode. I didn't think it was funny at all. Maybe I took it too seriously, but I felt so bad for Leonard.😥
And that your honor is when I killed him.
this show did not age well considering how short it has been off the air...
I hated this episode.
MAINLY Sheldon to hate.
show went too far. no id be done
That sweater is amazing in all fairness
🤩
I would have; shattered the disc into fragments, cut the case into strips, burned the sweater to ash, then put them all in a box and returned them to Sheldon.
