Big Bang Theory – That enormous unsettling crazy face

If there was one thing that could perfectly sum up the craziness that is the Amy/Penny relationship, it would be a twelve-square-foot painting of the two of them (make Penny a little masculine, and even better). There’s something about the uncomfortableness of Amy’s crush that is incredibly giggle-worthy.

I’ve never bought into the criticisms of The Big Bang Theory, specifically the negative stereotypes of geeks, nerds and dorks everywhere. This episode, mainly the sports related duel, is the first time the problem ever really stood out in my mind. The whole premise of the show is making fun of stereotypes, I get that and enjoy I most of the time, but this time it was a little much.

These were some of my favorite quotes from “The Rothman Disintegration.” If I missed one of yours, be sure to share it in the comments!”

“Before I met you, I was a mousey wallflower. But look at me now: I’m like some kind of downtown-hipster-party girl. With a posse, a boyfriend and a new lace bra that hooks in the front of all things!” – Amy

“Oh my President Siebert, I don’t mean to be an alarmist, but difficulty initiating a urine stream can be a symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia. If you’re interested I can send you a link to a YouTube video that will show you how to perform your own rectal exams. Yeah, ah … helpful hint: trim your nails first.” – Sheldon

“Alright, it’s gotta go.” – Penny
“What will you tell Amy?” – Bernadette
“How about I tell her it makes you jealous because you’re not in it?” – Penny
“Nuh-uh. What if she gets me one?” – Bernadete

“I could take it down and put it up when she comes over, but it’s kinda heavy” – Penny
“Too bad you’re not as strong as the dude in the painting.” – Bernadette

“You have a complete advantage at trivia. You have an eidetic memory, plus I haven’t watched Star Trek since I realized the strip club near my apartment has a free buffet.” – Kripke

“[Watching Sheldon and Kripke playing basketball] You know all those terrible things bullies used to do to us?” – Leonard
“Yeah?” – Raj
“… I get it.” –Leonard

“Sheldon’s was higher.” – Howard
“Congratulations, Sheldon. You get the office.”  — Leonard
“Who’s ‘unsatisfactory’ in P.E. now?” – Sheldon

“I’ve gotta go. I gotta get up early. My company is testing a new steroid that supposedly doesn’t shrink testicles, and the last one there has to do the measuring.” – Bernadette

“Goodnight Painting Penny … Goodnight Real Penny.” – Amy
“Goodnight Real Amy.” – Penny
“You don’t have to say goodnight to Painting Amy, because she’s never leaving. [Exits]” – Amy
“Goodnight Real Penny … Goodnight Transvestite Penny.” – Bernadette

“I’m so humiliated. I sat there the entire time we were watching Grease thinking you liked the painting.” – Amy
“I know.” – Penny
“I was a fool from Summer Loving to the very last ‘Rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong.’” – Amy

“I don’t think you can put a number on how much one person likes another.” – Penny
“I bought you a painting that is twelve square feet in area … there’s a number.” – Amy
“Amy, c’mon. …” – Penny
“If you don’t like feet, you can try dollars. The painting set me back three grand.” – Penny

“Why is there a hole in my new office? I’ve narrowed it down to two possibilities: There was something in the wall that someone outside of the wall wanted, or the more disturbing: there was something in the wall that wanted out.” – Sheldon

“I’ll let you in on a little secret: originally, we were painted nude. But I thought it was an unnecessary challenge to our heterosexuality.” – Amy
“Good call.” – Penny
“But if you ever change your mind all it would take is some warm, soapy water.” – Amy
“You’re talking about the painting, right?” – Penny
“Sure.” – Amy
