#9: Bernie Makes A Valid Point About Sheldon “The Hawking Excitation”
Sheldon himself said it best. For newcomers to the show, it would be pretty easy to walk away purely on how irritating Sheldon’s arrogance and superiority can be. Throughout the show's run, he’s made countless potshots at everyone, but Howard often takes the brunt of his insults. However, this conversation with Bernie highlights why we actually find Sheldon so endearing. Bernadette’s comment gives us a great laugh while also providing a tiny bit of insight into the quirky genius. Sheldon’s intellect scale may tip far more toward the science side, and he’s certainly lacking when it comes to any amount of emotional intelligence.
#8: Howard's Survival Training “The Werewolf Transformation”
The Big Bang Theory's Howard Impressions vs the Actual Person

He also found a way to push through his hunger with the aid of a butterfly. The line itself is so simple, but it’s Simon Helberg’s facial expressions and hilarious delivery that make this quote killer.

Meanwhile, Leonard’s feeling pretty down since everyone else, including Sheldon, seems to have a female companion in their life.

It’s not usually ill intent, but just one of his signature character traits. In the middle of season three, he tries to teach Penny some physics to help her comprehend Leonard’s job. She struggles to keep up with her teacher and breaks down in tears before telling him that she feels stupid. From there, we get a great moment where Sheldon’s attempt to comfort her is both hilarious and overly forthright.
#3: Bernie's Fake Laugh “The Hesitation Ramification”
If you lived through the “When Harry Met Sally” era, you undoubtedly spotted the tribute to the famous “restaurant” scene in season seven of “The Big Bang Theory.” As Amy complains about Sheldon’s annoying jokes, Bernadette tells her that the easiest way to make him stop is by faking a laugh. Howard questions whether she’s ever done that to him, ultimately deciding that she could never be convincing enough to fool him. This leads Melissa Rauch to channel her inner Meg Ryan. The best part is when she stops abruptly and goes back to eating, much like Sally did in the movie.
#2: Penny's Comeback “The Panty Piñata Polarization”
Top 10 Funniest Penny Moments on The Big Bang Theory

After Penny messes with Sheldon’s laundry schedule, their argument in the basement results in one of Penny’s best comeback lines.
