*You’re welcome* Sheldon turned the flag upside down, saved Leonard’s life, hardly reacted to the explosion like he knew it was gonna happen and spoke like a champ 😂🤣
@@nightmare674 yeah, and Leonard was with him, I remember. But the thing is, this is just season 3, this episode with the elevator exploding. And already in seasons 1 and 2, if you rewatched it, Sheldon had complete boss/alpha behaviors too, and it continues during the entire show.
And this is the answer to why Leonard is friends with Sheldon and tolerates all his behaviors. Because Sheldon saved Leonard's life. There is nothing bigger than saving someone's life!
@@prasithoudomvilay8454 Indeed. Even though he didn’t show much emotion, if Sheldon didn’t care about Leonard, he wouldn’t have pushed him out of the elevator. Leonard also never thanked Sheldon for saving him or apologised for almost getting him killed along with or instead of himself.
No wonder Leonard tolerated Sheldon so much. He saved him from a North Korean Spy (Joyce Kim), an Explosion, being kicked out for breaking the elevator, being fired from the university and being arrested from the cops. All while he never mentioned this.
exactly! And then people hate on Sheldon!! Sheldon did amazing things for Leonard here. Not only saved Leonard's life but didn't tell the building administration this elevator mess& explosion, was Leonard's fault!!
Sheldon may not have told on him, but he should be in prison anyway. Random explosions don’t happen in apartment buildings without raising a few questions.
@@ToCam-fl8ry If I were Sheldon, I'd have kicked Leonard out or something, I'm honestly amazed that the other guys haven't been fired for things like this.
To be honest… there are probably a LOT of moments where past Leonard was kind of an idiot. He nearly gave away top secret information to a Korean spy because “once again” he was only thinking with his genitals. Even if she wasn’t a spy, giving out that info to the girl you’re sleeping with is just stupid in general, but the boy will literally do anything for sex. Then like you said, he chose to use that top secret fuel for launching model rockets, which is outright irresponsible. And then not only did he not adjust the formula correctly, he mistakenly believed he had time to ride the elevator before the fuel exploded, a mistake which would have cost him his life had Sheldon not saved him. Honestly, it’s no wonder Sheldon mocks his credibility with a history like this.
Leonard is unbearable by the mid seasons. Hes actually pretty selfish, although Sheldon is typically the one viewed this way. His most redeeming quality is being with Penny.
I think as time goes on, TBBT will be viewed less and less favourably as a show, because the more people watch, the more they realise how pathetic and poorly written it is.
@@tombailey837 I don't necessarily agree. The work Jim Parsons does as Sheldon, specifically from season 2 to about season 5 or 6, is incredible. Hilarious and thoughtful.. My gripe is mostly that Leonard is a dick
@@tombailey837 I agree, now that I see the snippets, especially as an Indian too, the show's written really poorly. The laugh track is like it is telling u to laugh at this, otherwise there r several parts that r not humorous at all.
The fact that sheldon took the time to reverse the flag shows us he knew exactly at what time it was gonna burst and was probably counting it down in his mind . Thats kinda badass .

So thats why Leonard put up with Sheldon's nonsense for years. Because Sheldon saved his life. Sheldon knew EXACTLY when that thing was gonna explode down to the SECOND. Sheldon handled that like a boss and barely flinched at the explosion. Okay he flinched a bit but far less than the other three.

sheldon to people who hate him even his behaves he knows what he is doing this the 100000 times when sheldon proves that he is not wrong at all he saved his life also he says the truth that the formula isn't correct leonard always do stupid stuff and sheldon helps him he love all his friends and he can do anuything for them

yeah, many times on this show, it feels like Sheldon is actually an alpha, not a 'nerd' at all.
@@russelconor8704 The character changed a lot. You have to remember that his very first scene was about selling his sperm.
@@nightmare674 yeah, and Leonard was with him, I remember. But the thing is, this is just season 3, this episode with the elevator exploding. And already in seasons 1 and 2, if you rewatched it, Sheldon had complete boss/alpha behaviors too, and it continues during the entire show.
I mean, he did know it was gonna explode. And he knew Leonard's formula was wrong before him. So yeah he figured it out more quickly than Leonard.
Because he did a lot of experiments as a kid. He knew
And this is the answer to why Leonard is friends with Sheldon and tolerates all his behaviors. Because Sheldon saved Leonard's life. There is nothing bigger than saving someone's life!
You *do* know that Sheldon was there before any of them, it's his apartment and they could hangout somewhere else.
And now a lifetime of comic torment.
Let alone if Leonard went with bomb he would't have met Penny, it was really thanks to Sheldon
@neocell710 Yes, but Leonard lives there too. And if anyone wants to hang out with him, tolerating Sheldon is a must.
@@rabronin Not really, Leonard can simply find another place to hangout, easy.
I love how Sheldon doesn’t even show emotion when he saves Leonard and says your welcome, like it was no big deal for him.😂😂😂
😅😅😅😂😂😂 what did u do that for boom explosion
Eeyup.
At least he cares about Leonard
@@prasithoudomvilay8454
Indeed. Even though he didn’t show much emotion, if Sheldon didn’t care about Leonard, he wouldn’t have pushed him out of the elevator.
Leonard also never thanked Sheldon for saving him or apologised for almost getting him killed along with or instead of himself.
"I had plenty of time..." 💥Famous last words!
Those would have been Leonard’s last words if Sheldon hadn’t saved him.
Leonard owes Sheldon his life, his career(Joyce Kim incident), his occupancy and his freedom(didn't rat him out to the landlord and authorities).
No wonder Leonard tolerated Sheldon so much. He saved him from a North Korean Spy (Joyce Kim), an Explosion, being kicked out for breaking the elevator, being fired from the university and being arrested from the cops. All while he never mentioned this.
Except that one time with the lady FBI agent when he blabbed like he was on some sort of "truth serum".
@@csgollum That was about Walowitz, and the mars rover.. not for Leonard..
@@csgollumSheldon “No different Leonard 6 fingers little chubby goodbye” XD
“Not only did he save my life he didn’t rat me out to the landlord. Or homeland security”
Sheldon did save Leonard’s life he didn’t tell on him to anyone
exactly! And then people hate on Sheldon!! Sheldon did amazing things for Leonard here. Not only saved Leonard's life but didn't tell the building administration this elevator mess& explosion, was Leonard's fault!!
Sheldon may not have told on him, but he should be in prison anyway. Random explosions don’t happen in apartment buildings without raising a few questions.
Sheldon is so underrated when he does selfless things
I always don’t understand how can Sheldon keep this secret while he can’t keep any secret
He probably didn’t see it as a secret as they probably never asked him to keep this private and they probably just moved on from the incident
The one where Leonard was the idiot and is the reason why everyone takes the stairs. Plus Sheldon didn't send Leonard to prison.
This was such a great sitcom And one of the best endings. To the writers; Thank you for giving us the ending that this sitcom deserved.
Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady
0:56 "you're waiting for the elevator"😂
For Leonard, Raj, and Howard, this was a bad thing that was seconds away from happening.
For Sheldon, it was a Tuesday
Well, Lenny, turns out, Sheldon is better than you also at the applied physics. 😂
That's why he belittles experimental physics. It's too easy for him.
@@thevoicelesswriter no that means he knows about experimental physics because he would`ve studied that in school when he was a kid
The Miami Vice suit, LMAO.
Sheldon cooper is the hero we dont want but the one we have.
And that’s why nobody used the elevator until the series finale.
Leonard was dressed like prince, Howard looked like snot from American dad, and Raj looked like those 70s rich Indian kids
Gotta say Sheldon's cool as a cucumber in a crisis
Wow. Amazing storytelling. Without having to tell us directly, it's obvious *this* is Jimmy's time machine moment.
sometimes having a genius around pays off
what you mean? All of them are supposedely geniuses lol.
@@kibme5189 Yeah but Sheldon's brain can process information in ways the other three can barely imagine.
1:05 Sheldon becomes a hero.
Can we talk about Raj's whole outfit?? 😂😂
So THAT'S how the elevator broke. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sheldon looks the same from the flashbacks haha.
Your Waiting For the Elevator" 0:56
1:12 the mystery is solved
Not at all.He is now going through the part of what can be hidden in a round and how to use it himself, He was warned down to her nationality.
Sheldon: You're welcome.
Ahhhhh when the show was funny
From a practical perspective it shouldn’t have taken so long to fix the elevator but we know why it never was
And this clip is the answer to why Leonard is friends with Sheldon and tolerates all his behaviors. Because Sheldon saved Leonard's life.
@@ToCam-fl8ry If I were Sheldon, I'd have kicked Leonard out or something, I'm honestly amazed that the other guys haven't been fired for things like this.
@@EgoHead710 yeah, true
@@ToCam-fl8ry one good deed isn’t worth the years of torture and abuse Leonard went through
Sheldon saved the day.
in retrospect, i think the real mistake was experimenting with rockets in an apartment building
YES!!! How is he not in trouble for this???
Sheldon never “Ratted Him Out to the Pigs”
😎

The laugh track is like it is telling u to laugh at this, otherwise there r several parts that r not humorous at all.
I bursted out of laughter when one of my group members of a Washington D.C trip showed me this and now I feel like this was all Leonard’s fault
I had no idea what happened to the elevator before this episode aired, but I always suspected that the guys had something to do with it. 😂😂😂😂😂
So that's how elevator broke
The fact that sheldon took the time to reverse the flag shows us he knew exactly at what time it was gonna burst and was probably counting it down in his mind . Thats kinda badass .
i do wonder, what was Leonard’s plan once he got outside
How did Raj go from this get up to the trash he wore throughout the show. They corrupted my boy's mind 😭😭
you can only wear Miami Vice for so long...
He looked like he could've joined modern talking (the 80s electronica band)
Now we know of leonard's tolerance to sheldon...........Sheldon saved his life.......
And now we know why Leonard puts up with Sheldon
And that`s when you know that Sheldon is right about something
It's crazy how weird Sheldon looks like those 80's clothes.

So that's why the elevator was out of service in the other shorts I've seen of this show lol
Sheldon broke the elevator as much as Leonard did.
0:38 - Anyone else notice that Raj is dressed like Sonny Crockett from Miami Vice?
WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT! What the hell just happened?!
ok how come leonard didnt get evicted?
Because Sheldon, really against his nature, never reported him "to the Landlord, the University or Homeland Security"
Because it is just a show.
should rename the title to Sheldon Saves Leonard's life
The one time in the show where Sheldon was the reasonable one.
You forgot that conference episode.
So thats why Leonard put up with Sheldon's nonsense for years. Because Sheldon saved his life. Sheldon knew EXACTLY when that thing was gonna explode down to the SECOND. Sheldon handled that like a boss and barely flinched at the explosion. Okay he flinched a bit but far less than the other three.
You're welcome
Technically it was Sheldon who broke the 🛗 😂
1:06 How did it NOT burn Sheldon's hands?
I would've rather blown up in the elevator instead of going to the hospital with a robot arm gripping my thingy. Right Howard?? 😅😅
The upside down flag is a reference to when a Nation is in a time of crisis.
1:05
-What's up buttercup?
-What's the word hummingbird?
-What's the gist physicist?
Penny asked those to Sheldon in the chair episode.
Now you make up more stuff:
- What's the question mathematician?
- What's cooking good looking?
- What's happening later alligator?
- What's unclear engineer?
- What's the blur philosopher?
- What's the best chess?
- What's the best 9LX?
how old are they??
They broke the elevator and didn't fix it 😮
This makes no sense if the guy didn't tell anyone about the Elevator how did it get fixed in the final episode
He is not just wrong. He is messing up the unit kind of wrong
sheldon to people who hate him even his behaves he knows what he is doing this the 100000 times when sheldon proves that he is not wrong at all he saved his life also he says the truth that the formula isn't correct leonard always do stupid stuff and sheldon helps him he love all his friends and he can do anuything for them
He really is bad at his job
!Spoilers!, The elevator wasn't fixed until the end of the series
The problem is Howard is an engineer,why take Howard's for it...then again why didn't Howard fix the elevator
Because he wasn't contracted to.
Not just because he is an engineer, he can fix anything outside of his range of study and budget
One Question: Why in the world They make Rocket fuel in apartment?
2nd:
- Sheldon Cooper = Bobby Fischer
- Leonard Hofstadter = The rest of the chess world thinking there's still plenty of time until the death of chess.
(At least the death of classical-time classical-variant chess.)
Is this why they put up with his abuse for all these years? He saved their lives?
so it would seem. Don't know if it fully justifies Sheldon being a jerk to everyone though
Sheldon may have had his moments where you want to kick his butt but you have to give it to him when he looked out for his friends.
