  • A little background... Earlier in the episode, Sheldon planned to have multiple presents ready for Penny so he could give her a present equal in value to the one she gave him. This is how it turned out...
    The clip is obviously property of CBS

    "Leonard, look! Sheldon's hugging me..." That was -- in *my* humble opinion -- the most precious moment ever in the entire 12 Years of the show.

      @@cbussery It's not a laugh track, there's a live audience. Some scenes are pre-taped because they can't shunt audiences around to different sets and sound stages, but are played to the audience for live responses. Some scenes are shot live but because of distance are viewed by the audience over monitors, but their responses are still recorded. Scenes in the apartment are performed directly in front of the audience. There is no canned laughter.

      Both are the 2 people that can really bring out other emotions that he normally suppresses or doesn't like to show.

      In all my time watching TBBT, this was the first of three times Sheldon suggested to using Penny as a surrogate to bear his children/offspring. The second time was in S4xE01 when Penny was first told that Sheldon had met & begun dating Amy, as she inquired information from him until Sheldon mentioned he and Amy’s desire to create a child together in a lab with fertility experts & petri dishes that led to him asking Penny if “her womb was available for rental”, and she just stared at him not saying anything. The third time was in S11xE16 when the topic of child names came up in Howard & Bernadette’s home, when Sheldon announced that he wanted a total of fifteen kids and told a surprised Amy that he didn’t expect her to bear them all as he added that they could “find a suitable uterus to rent”, only to look expectantly at Penny with Amy as well in anticipation. Both Penny and Leonard (who was with her at the time) rejected the implication/insinuation of the idea immediately. Even though it was never stated or explored in conversation, I believe that Sheldon held Penny in high regard in many aspects of her character & relationship to him if he were to consider her as a valid choice to bear his children, whilst not even holding her in romantic views.

      While I do like their bond and the series, I think it is a stretch to say that it shows that, given Sheldon's deviation from the norm. I do however live in a country, where close friendships between the genders is common in such a magnitude, that we find it weird if a person does not have close friends of the other gender.

  • @williamthomas5215
    @williamthomas5215 Рік тому +14

    For those that don’t understand the backstory of why Sheldon has so many gifts. Earlier in the episode he expressed his distaste for Christmas/gift-giving holidays. He believed it always places too much stress on the purchaser because there is no way to know how to create equal value without giving one another the same thing. So to counter this issue he purchases dozens of gifts and stores them away and whenever penny will give her gift to him - he simply leaves the room (hence the “digestive issue” comment) and goes and grabs a gift of equal value. However, unknown to Sheldon was that Penny got him the signed Leonard Nimoy napkin. Upon opening it he is initially cocky believing he has nothing to fear in terms of equal value gift-giving. He quickly realizes after reading the autograph that he has no way to truly pay her back fairly, and commits the ultimate act of service in his eyes for penny, a hug.

    This is the scene that shows how truly compatible Penny and Leonard are. Sheldon was scrambling to buy a present for Penny and ended up buying a dozen. Leonard and Penny on the other hand got each other gag gifts that match perfectly when it comes to meaning and humor.

    One of the things that also makes this scene so great is the reaction of the studio audience, who seemed to react with as much emotion as Sheldon. It's a smart audience that understands the characters enough to appreciate what an amazing moment this is.

      Unfortunately no. Given your profile picture from when you made this comment you look to be in your twenties, and that's rounding my estimate down to avoid offending you. Now, lets assume the age of 23, which is rounding my guess significantly down, if that is the case you would have to still be watching this scene at 103. Assuming you live that long, despite the average American lifespan to be 78 currently, and always dropping (I know you're residing in America due to your esxposer to this show, as it is an American show), so assuming you beat the average by 25 years, you still have to beat back alzheimer's, blindness, and deafness for that long as well. Extremely unlikely.

      Can you tell me then Sheldon why you are extremely hesitant of coming in contact with germs, but you have no problem touching a napkin housing Leonard Nimoy's germs? Furthermore, what about that episode where you are looking to gain possession of the vacant office at the university, but at the same time Kripke wants it? You and Kripke storm into the mens restroom to confront the school head who's in the middle of relieving himself. After discussing for some time, he leaves, never washing his hands. Shouldn't you have went after the head, insisting he wash them rather than saying to Kripke, "You're in my spot"?

    • @dcaouki
      @dcaouki 7 років тому +59

      I'm not saying giving characters a love interest is bad, when it comes to Leonard and Raj it would've been fine. But for sheldon and Howard, it completely ruins what was great about their characters in the first place. Howard was that horny creep and Sheldon was the genius who didn't have a social conscience. By giving them love interests they do develop them, which is fine, but they make them more boring and less compelling in the process. I still watch the show, and it isn't 'bad' in any way. But it feels different to the show that hooked me in the beginning. So fuck you

    • @carlosparra8976
      @carlosparra8976 7 років тому +22

      I try to think of a scenario where after 10 years the writers didnt give Howard Wolowitz a love interest and I fail to see any of those scenarios being successful.

    • @jlolo33321
      @jlolo33321 7 років тому +15

      but that development leads to staleness. Part of the show drama is the dating life, and when you have 3/4 of them main characters all either married to each other or in incredibly long relationships it gets boring and predictable. this happens with any show like the office where pam and jim's relationship was entertaining when they were trying to get with each other but when they got married it just got boring.
      You can claim its precise character development but it took away from their personalities and dwindled them down to into a predictable, dramaless show.

    This scene is cleverly written. When Sheldon said "It's not enough, is it?", it meant that whatever gifts he was giving to Penny do not match the value of Penny's gift to him. It showed how Sheldon value the signed napkin not by its monetary value, but by its sentimental worth, without Penny even actually knowing how big of a deal it is to Sheldon.
