Eh. I think if they re-did the joke today they'd make Sheldon use the original, but force/explain it beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 10/06/2011 04:48:16 PM
As in something like, "Oh Penny, I'll try to relate to you on your level. I recall a saying from my days as a third grader- I was 5 at the time, this was before those plebian administrators realized my true genius- but I believe the phrase was, "I'm rubber, and you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you!" Now, I of course realize that the tensile strength of my hypothetical rubber body would have to be astronomically high to have that kind of rebounding property, but that didn't seem to concern Billy Chestler and his pack of hoodlums and nor, I should think, will it concern you."



Eh, whatever. We've both enjoyed BBT, and both acknowledge it's not "high art." That one particular joke just REALLY bugs me,
I amuse myself.

What is wrong with it? *NM* - 09/06/2011 10:38:09 AM 223 Views
It's an attempt to sound smart while saying something incredibly childish and simple - 09/06/2011 10:57:14 AM 547 Views

Which is why I don't want to watch BBT. The character is wholly unappealing. *NM* - 09/06/2011 01:44:46 PM 227 Views

Basically? ANYONE WHO COULD PUT TOGETHER THAT DETAILED A PASTICHE WOULD KNOW THE ORIGINAL SAYING - 09/06/2011 03:30:16 PM 496 Views
