Well in my defense, Penny got a fine from her car from driving past a red light and told them that Sheldon was driving because she could not afford to pay another fine, which is quite true, but also quite sad because she did not tell him the truth because she did not want to seem like a bad person.

“Dum Dum” Dugan’s name is Timothy Dugan. General “Thunderbolt” Ross’s name is Thaddeus Tony Stark’s name is Anthony Edward Stark. And the names don’t rhyme, they’re alliterations.

I guess the writers wanted to brag about their comic knowledge and used lesser known characters(but they did use Spider-man and Hulk but you can also argue because of how popular they are ofc they're going to be mentioned)
Ehhhh, this joke doesn't really land. Mainly because when asked why, rather than give his reason he just starts listing examples that nobody asked for. And then just never gives a reason after that. Even Sheldon at least gives reasons - however insane - for the things he dislikes.

What an idiot Raj is. By the end of the episode, he's already answered his own question: Why did Stanley alliterate his characters' names? The same reason Raj could name so many: Because they're easy to remember!
Being in a contract to not be near someone is a personal relationship with that person even if negative. The other fellas are just unknown fanboys to the celebrities.
he does understand, it's clear. he has his own contracts/agreements and with his IQ, of course, he knows but he doesn't care. and that is a joke, it's a sitcom, for gods sake
Had to look it up and Raj actually said Millie the Model. She seems to be more of a humor comic book character. She's basically just an attractive model.
That was the entire theme of this show. A bunch of scientists and engineers doing and bickering about stupid stuff. The laugh track made it even more painfully cringeworthy.

I wonder how Sheldon would react if he realized those restraining orders are celebrities ways of saying they don't like him or want to see him, instead of looking at them like autographs
Sheldon knows what it means. he doesn't care. and ah yes, and it was exactly written for Sheldon to say this because that's the joke! that for Sheldon, a restraining order is better! it's a sitcom, get it, or are you still too slow?

What's wrong with alliteration? It makes things most magnificently memorable!

He would’ve. It’s what I point out to his defenders when they blame Penny for his actions
@@jessedellross3245 i mean, penny waas the reason he was there in the first place. its still her fault.
@@alexhazel but he would’ve gotten out of it clean if he hadn’t been an ass. Thanks for making my point
He would've still pissed off Stan Lee and gotten a restraining order. Like when he met Leonard Nimoy.
I am pretty sure its to make their names roll off the tongue better and so are more memorable.
The alliteration is to help him remember character names, he had a terrible memory
But at the same time the alliteration is kinda catchy
oh, it's not just marvel: lois lane, martian manhunter, guy gardner, red robin, blue beetle ,etc.
DC has far less of that than Marvel.
Wally west, Lex Luthor, J’onn J’onzz, Zatanna Zatara, Rachel Roth (aka Raven), Dinah Drake Lance, Dinah Laurel Lance, Ronnie Raymond, Cassandra Cain, Billy Batson, Freddie Freeman, Guy Gardner, Hank Hall, Boston Brand, Buddy Baker (aka Animal Man), Preston Payne (the 3rd Clayface), Hector Hammond, Sam Scudder, Felix Faust, why am I doing this, this is pointless

To answer Raj's inquiry, it's because alliteration is both memorable and pleasing to the human mind
Raj forgot to mention Scott Summers

Kim Kardashian, Mads Mikkelsen, Kaley Cuoco, Wil Wheaton, Ryan Reynolds, Danny DeVito, Marshall Mathers...
Kaley Cuoco isn’t technically an alliteration, although it sounds like it. “K” and “C” are 2 different letters.

Raj has a point.
But I also admired Stan Lee for naming his characters that way too.
