"Yes! Well, I'm polymerized tree sap and you're an inorganic adhesive, so whatever verbal projectile you launch in my direction is reflected off of me, returns on its original trajectory and adheres to you."


-Dr Sheldon Cooper

It makes me want to vomit every time I read it. I like BBT, but hearing lines like that is like running sandpaper over my brain.

KaitLynn... there will be a reckoning.

Seeing quotes like that (and the World of Warcraft episode) is what keeps me from watching. j-whitt987 - 09/06/2011 06:45:20 AM 700 Views
What is wrong with it? *NM* Camilla - 09/06/2011 10:38:09 AM 292 Views
It's an attempt to sound smart while saying something incredibly childish and simple Helene - 09/06/2011 10:57:14 AM 700 Views

Which is why I don't want to watch BBT. The character is wholly unappealing. *NM* Helene - 09/06/2011 01:44:46 PM 291 Views

I didn't know there was another girl in the show Helene - 11/06/2011 07:20:02 AM 793 Views
No.Sheldon is characterized by: Arrogance, Know-it-all,lack of knowledge about social conventions, *NM* beetnemesis - 09/06/2011 03:16:44 PM 311 Views
Which his lack of normal language points to. Camilla - 09/06/2011 03:18:10 PM 628 Views
Basically? ANYONE WHO COULD PUT TOGETHER THAT DETAILED A PASTICHE WOULD KNOW THE ORIGINAL SAYING beetnemesis - 09/06/2011 03:30:16 PM 634 Views
... Camilla - 09/06/2011 03:33:11 PM 775 Views
I think that actually speaks to the quality of the characters beetnemesis - 10/06/2011 06:06:59 PM 706 Views
Regarding the point in your title Camilla - 09/06/2011 03:35:17 PM 636 Views
Eh. I think if they re-did the joke today they'd make Sheldon use the original, but force/explain it beetnemesis - 10/06/2011 04:48:16 PM 682 Views
your problem with this makes no sense. *NM* temeraire - 11/06/2011 02:42:00 AM 268 Views
