Re: It's an attempt to sound smart while saying something incredibly childish and simple Camilla Send a noteboard - 09/06/2011 11:43:27 AM
I've read enough of that in college textbooks to want to see it on a tv show.

Of course, I don't watch BBT because it's not funny to me.


But the point is that he has not understood why the original version is an expression (the rhyme). The character is characterised by precisely his lack of normal language.

That quote grates at me like cheese in a cheese grater? yeah something like that. *NM* Timthetrolloc - 09/06/2011 06:21:47 AM 244 Views
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 555 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 227 Views
Huh Camilla - 09/06/2011 01:47:10 PM 554 Views
I dislike BBT because it's such a cliche.. Helene - 09/06/2011 03:50:33 PM 482 Views

I didn't know there was another girl in the show Helene - 11/06/2011 07:20:02 AM 507 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 235 Views
Which his lack of normal language points to. Camilla - 09/06/2011 03:18:10 PM 480 Views
Basically? ANYONE WHO COULD PUT TOGETHER THAT DETAILED A PASTICHE WOULD KNOW THE ORIGINAL SAYING beetnemesis - 09/06/2011 03:30:16 PM 500 Views
... Camilla - 09/06/2011 03:33:11 PM 634 Views
I think that actually speaks to the quality of the characters beetnemesis - 10/06/2011 06:06:59 PM 559 Views
Regarding the point in your title Camilla - 09/06/2011 03:35:17 PM 482 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 543 Views
your problem with this makes no sense. *NM* temeraire - 11/06/2011 02:42:00 AM 200 Views
