The popular CBS sitcom, The Big Bang Theory, is rich with emotional scenes. Leonard Hofstadter frequently grapples with his mother’s relationship and Penny, his intermittent girlfriend, provides him consistent support. The main cast of characters on this show also rally together following Howard Wolowitz’s mother’s passing, even Sheldon Cooper, who usually struggles to gauge social situations, offers a comforting shoulder for his friend to cry on. Despite the numerous touching scenes, what truly captivates viewers is the comedy. Each episode contains a generous amount of side-splitting jokes that stem from the peculiar predicaments the characters encounter.
The new content in “The Big Bang Theory” is top-notch, but the recurring jokes throughout the series are truly remarkable. Viewers who’ve been watching since the start are richly rewarded, as these jokes make at least one appearance per season and seem to grow funnier with each reoccurrence.
1) “Soft Kitty”
Whenever Sheldon isn’t feeling great, it becomes public knowledge. Regrettably, in Season 1, there’s nobody to care for him except Penny, who isn’t familiar with all his idiosyncrasies. Despite this, she tries her best, often singing him a song called “Soft Kitty,” which his mother used to sing to him when he was young. This catchy tune recurs in the series and consistently elicits laughter, as it transforms Sheldon into a five-year-old rather than an adult genius.
2) The Roommate Agreement
Living with Sheldon presents numerous challenges for Leonard, many of which originate from the Roommate Agreement that he fails to review. Initially, Sheldon had Leonard sign this contract upon moving in, and at the time, he didn’t give it much thought. However, this agreement grants Sheldon significant control over Leonard’s life, dictating who he can invite into the apartment and what type of furniture he can purchase. Whenever Sheldon refers to this document, Leonard braces himself for a demanding day.
3) Sheldon’s Spot
The group of friends from “The Big Bang Theory” frequently gather at Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment, but they don’t feel entirely comfortable there. Sheldon has a specific spot on the couch that belongs to him exclusively, and any attempt by others to occupy it causes quite a fuss. In fact, when Leonard and his friends damage the couch cushion, Sheldon swiftly notices and creates a commotion about it.
4) Howard Being an Engineer
As a devoted fan, I must admit that throughout the series, I’ve noticed that Sheldon often holds himself in high regard, largely due to his profession as a theoretical physicist. However, it seems he doesn’t always extend the same respect to his other friends, particularly Howard, who is an engineer. Time and again, we see Sheldon taking jabs at Howard, which frequently escalates into heated debates. Yet, in a surprising turn of events, Sheldon acknowledges Howard’s contributions in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, making up for past slights.
5) “Bazinga!”
The frequent inclusion of Sheldon in comedic recurring jokes within “The Big Bang Theory” is due to him being the series’ most humorous character. He consistently displays his witty side and often concludes a well-played prank or skit with his signature phrase, “Bazinga!”. Despite the other characters disliking the word, they find it challenging not to laugh when Sheldon uses it.
6) The Elevator
Since the debut of “The Big Bang Theory”, characters visiting Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment building have consistently encountered a non-functioning elevator due to maintenance issues. This malfunction persists throughout most of the series, causing numerous inconveniences along the way. Remarkably, the elevator mysteriously gets repaired at the end of the show, leading to one of the most humorous scenes as everyone reacts with surprise.
7) Sheldon’s Knock
Leonard finds it challenging to coexist with Sheldon, while Penny isn’t faring much better due to Sheldon’s persistent visits. You see, Sheldon doesn’t just knock once; he knocks three times before entering, a habit rooted in a past traumatic experience from his childhood. Sometimes, other characters mimic this behavior, repeatedly knocking on Sheldon’s door, which tends to irritate him.
The Big Bang Theory is streaming on HBO Max.
