that's really not important in life. So if they don't work in their field of study, what will they do? They would be useless nerds. They have no valuable amibitions and are simply childish and immature.
Her bad day was due to them: they blocked the stairwell with the time machine and cost her a day's pay (something Sheldon never hesitates to point out as a sign of being inferior to them).

It's hypocritical, because those same people have their own set of hobbies but just because its less nerdy they think their way of spending their free time is less "pathetic."

@luis Antunez Better than Slutty waitress, who paid her rent after helping of Sheldon (a poor theoretical physicist) Atleast they never beg to anyone for live.
@luis Antunez have you ever been at a comic book store? Do you know how much money they spent in all those action figures, mangas, besides all the consoles and videogames they have? They apartment is way bigger than Penny's, if they wanted a smaller apartment they could pay rent by themselves. Besides, they have money for all of their things plus paying Penny's dinner and helping her with money.

@luis Antunez lmao she isnt making it bettrr financially, she's a freeloader and gets basically free food, and internet from them, she had leonard once pay her rent, she had to borrow money from sheldon once. Sheldon and leonard can easily pay for their rent if they want but they split it to save money and sheldon even said he has a built up savings account for years and he only spends around 49% of what he earns thats why. Thats not being broke, its.called being smart with money. The show is clearly sexist and biased towarsa money, a real life waitresss would absolutely have no possibility of living in an expensive apartment like that by oneself.
2:48 scenes like this is why Seasons 1, 2 and 3 of TBBT are a high watermark for me, not just for TBBT, but for all sitcomes. Some of this is absolute comedy magic!
this part was real sad, Leonard was just having fun with his friends, who is proud of who he is and not ashamed of him of being a nerd. That is until Penny being a complete bitch who devastated him with those cruel words, he later wanted to change to impress Penny and get rid of the time machine. I guess the moral of the story is Don't be ashamed of who you are.
Wouldnt take what penny said really hard. She was angry and frustrated - Her workday was messed up because of that machine - particularly because they seem to have no idea how they were the cause of her misfortunate day. She was speaking emotionally and out of frustration towards them.
Cause the rest forgot about it and didn't care. Plus, they all understood that she was just venting and didn't really mean it... Leonard only took it to heart because he himself feels insecure and unworthy of her, and she forgets that he feels that way sometimes. Maybe logically, Leonard knew that she didn't really mean that.. but emotionally, he felt she did. And often times, even if you logically know they don't hate you or look down on you, if you feel like they do, it would make you feel bad.
@Yèlena Not true; she loves him. You are just taking things in the worst possible way and are having a huge bias. It's not that she hates his geekiness... she just doesn't want that stuff around the house. She loves his geekiness. She just doesn't want to be known as one. If she wants to change a single part of him, it'd be how he's a push over towards her; but she also accepts that it's because he's been scarred and probably won't be able to change that. What she's worried about is that it would continue too far and their marriage would dissolve into what Amy's parents have. To her, Leonard and Sheldon are the most important people and she would do almost anything for them. Yah, she's going to be difficult at times. People can be difficult. But in the end, she will stick through thick and thin for them and would sacrifice anything for them.
@Yèlena She wants her house to have an image. That's all. What? You think my mom hates me for having anime stuff around my room? Just because she dislikes the stuff doesn't mean she dislikes the person. She's supportive of their activities.... she just doesn't want it to be front and center around the house. You are making it seem worse than it really is. My parents hated that I collected Yugioh and Pokemon cards. But that doesn't mean they hate me. For crying out loud, my wife makes the money and hates me liking waifus, and only lets me have a certain space for that stuff, but that doesn't mean she hates me. You need to remember, it's not the most looked up to hobby. You shouldn't take that so personally. Instead, you should try and understand where they are coming from. Penny loves Leonard and would stick with him through almost anything. Sure, she can be difficult at times. But they move on from that. And she let him keep his geek stuff in the end. She was just trying to go as far as she could before he figured it out. Hell, Leonard didn't even notice for the first while. That is important to remember. But the people she loves most in the world are Leonard and Sheldon. And frankly, she took upon herself a mother role for a man around the same age as her, being caring and supportive. But I like how you are ignoring that part. People aren't built off of either being all good or all bad. It's that they have good points and bad points and you got to deal with that.
@Yèlena Honestly; you are the one that sounds shallow. She was causing trouble (for a bit) for his hobby and you seem to hate her. And frankly, the fact that my mother raised me my entire life, took care of me and showed me endless love doesn't change just because she dislikes my hobby. In the end, it's not considered a very honorable hobby and it's only recently that people started to be okay with it. You want people to understand and be accepting of you, but then you don't want to do the reverse.
To be fair there are other people who live in the building (although aside from Leonard Sheldon and Penny we only see like two other people who live there) it only begs the question of why hasn't ANYONE in the building tried to get the elevator repaired?
CC&Z This episode really hits home for me. I don't disclose this to a lot of people but I myself am a time traveler. However my time-traveling abilities have two slight limitations. Firstly, thus far , I have only been able to travel forward in time. I have yet to unlock my ability to travel to the Past. The second limiting factor in my time traveling is that the process does not happen as instantaneously as you would expect.. It is actually a rather slow process. In fact, to give an example , in order for me to travel say one month into the future it takes approximately 30 days...
Early Big Bang. Love it. It's still fun to watch, but it isn't the same. This one, along with the Barbarian-Something where Penny gets addicted to online gaming, are two of my favorites.
I love how they have fun calculating how to travel through time. The only problem is that in the original book and movie, you don't set the dials and go there, you push the lever to travel into the future at a steady rate, watch the dials until you get to the time you want, then reverse the lever until you have stopped. But still, good God, do I want that time machine!
remember that Leonard didn't know it was gonna be a life-size version of the time machine. although it was partially their fault, she still had no right to say those things to them. Who was she to criticize them about their interests? Like she said at the end of the episode, "It's the things you love that make you who you are."
The first episode of Big Bang that I saw. I was hooked as a forever fan the moment Leonard spins the time machine wheel. I think it's one of the funniest moments in television history.
I used to be like leonard, caring what sexy girls thought of me... When I got my PhD (in real) i found out what I fool i was to care what others think of myself.... Way to go, sheldon!!
@@SQUASHtamer damnnnnn! You go man. There IS ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM IN LIKING MOVIES WHICH people might call “geeky” idek why that word exists. Also tip: if a girl calls you geeky or nerdy and pathetic just tell her that atleast you don’t buy 10 shoes a day
I am so glad that when Penny was not loving Leonard he went straight back to the things he loves! If she is not going to love him why should he continue to behave the way she wants him to behave? No love ... No obedience! Good for you Leonard!
Absolutely right. Absolutely right. I said above but I love as well how the guys have dealt with a lifetime of being ignored, used or abused by women who see themselves as out of their league so that, except for Leonard initially until a bit later in the episode, they all just brush it off and continue with what they're doing without a second thought. This is nothing new for them (as we find out in the Dennis Kim episode) so they don't even pay it any mind and good for them.
well it's hard not to be pissed about losing your shift because of their inconveniences. But yeah she shouldn't have bashed on them for their hobbies and tastes. She should've tried making them imagine being put in her shoes for what they did instead. Then maybe they won't let something like that happen again and maybe help her if it does happen again.
Couple of things about what Penny said: It was rude, very unfair and hypocritical of her - a struggling actress and part-time employed waitress to call 4 grown men who had studied hard to achieve advanced degrees/PHDs and careers in science PATHETIC. To be fair to Penny, however, because they were moving the time machine up the staircase, it affected her as she missed her work shift so she was right to be mad at them there, but she could have just left earlier to make it on time since she was already running late. Finally, although it was rude, she was not wrong to call Leonard pathetic, because he was completely pathetic as he let her get in his head and considered throwing out all of his collectibles, action figures and comic books all because of her saying what she said. She might have apologised, but Leonard had no backbone to stand up for himself and no common sense that it was wrong for him to let her get in his head like that.
You're absolutely right. Like you say, she was already running late which was her fault not theirs and it would have been the same if someone was bringing up a sofa or a wardrobe, be it the delivery men or the other people in her apartment. Penny had no reason to tee off on them like that.
This is such a bullshit examination of this incident. Penny isn’t at fault for not leaving early, this is one of those things a person should ideally do so things are better off but not something you can blame them for not doing or use as an excuse to mitigate in this case the guys’ blocking the stairwell. Likewise, Penny was justified in being angry at them for how their actions affected her, but had no right to get personal and insult their hobbies. Penny isn’t “not wrong” for calling Leonard pathetic just because Leonard ended up taking that insult to heart. This is such a shitty form of victim blaming, it just isn’t true.
If the time machine actually worked, then going too far back in time would be suicide by gravity, because the college dorm complex hasn't been built yet. For that matter, even if you only use the time machine at ground level, the fact that it cannot move itself through space would probably result in the user asphyxiating in a vacuum while Earth is in a completely different position in its solar orbit.
Howard: “Hey, you want to use my time machine? It’s at my FRIENDS house! How lame is that?” XD That’s a good point for Howard. As far as the scolding from Penny, instead of jumping the ‘gap’ to the opposite building’s fire escape, going down their stairwell, she could’ve just helped the guys with pulling the time machine prop on the final flight of stairs and just barely make her shift... after waiting for Howard to come back after throwing up, of course.
+Jason Marin Maybe they watched the remake... I'm not stating it was worth watching. I think that version of time machine had option to set target time. As for the lever - well, blame it on the director of the series.
I really hated Penny in this episode, but still, it was just season 1 and she did "grow" throughout the series. Besides, it's the "pathetic" ones who later on lent her money so she can stay in her apartment.
@@guitarlover1370 so?! She got the job thru bernadette. She is into acting. But she couldn’t do that. Leonard is into science and thus loves his job. Penny only flirts with guys to get sales
She really is a good actress!!! It is not always an easy role that she has to play... So many situations and feelings that she has to play! Anyway, they could have convinced here to move back to the beginning of the day with this time machine. :P
Me too. I can't believe they still want to hang out with her after all the time she insults them. They have hobbies that are quite cool, she has none, so she can't say a thing. And how could they know what she would have benn throught? Not their fault, she really is a b*tch when she's mad. Leonard deserves better than her.
To be fair, it's not like she's always bad. I mean, this time, they caused her a lot of trouble. She nearly lost her entire livelihood because of them. Frankly speaking, it is their fault, because they are the ones who blocked the ONLY way to properly get out of the building. During that moment, they were being extremely bad neighbors... and frankly, I feel that people are just mad at the fact that she insulted geekdom rather than the fact that she was in the wrong. It's logically fair to vent and get mad in that situation. And she supports their hobby well enough. I mean, when people hate on characters (or over love them), they often make them 2 dimensional and just pick and choose what parts of the character to focus on. You focus on her insulting them, but ignore every time they cause her problems, and the fact that she often supports them, helps them, nurtures Sheldon like a mother quite often and frankly is an over all good friend... But ya, no, sometimes getting mad and mean like a human being automatically makes her a bad person... even when she had a good reason to be mad...
@@TheDeathmail Or when she dumps Leonard for a stupid reason? Yeah she helps sometimes and sometimes she gets stupid and sometimes she's not the greatest but doesn't mean everyone loves her.
@@Karomix3 From what I understand yes, she was in the wrong here. She was ALREADY running late and if she had just left on time she would not have gotten stopped by the guys. She also leeches off of Leonard and Sheldon, taking food, money, and wifi from them without ever paying them back a single thing. She has no business calling them pathetic and unsuccessful.
@@randomindividual769 Exactly. She can't blame the guys for being late when she was already running late in the first place, wouldn't have happened if she went on time, and if she was late by the time the guys brought the entire thing to their floor I guess it says everything.
That was pretty uncalled for. Imagine if it was a man calling out a woman on her nonsensical attachment towards jewellery and overreaction and overthinking on things which are essentially simple. Oh the horror and the internet rage!!!!!!!!......
the point was plausible and sensible without the "imagine if it was a man" there so many better ways to debate a topic than operating what can be said about genders. Not to mention if ur outrage was about if the gender roles were reversed you could have said imagine if it was a man talking to a woman like that (although I still believe this is not the right way) but the fact that u didn't and chose to use jewellery showcases your prejudice. Yes, Penny shouldn't have spoken like that but it doesn't matter what her gender was people were still outraged. So stop with the extra bs and speak abt the actual point: Penny was rude. It doesn't matter her gender. 🙄
@@obaapaninagyekum1245 so jewellery isn't ok. What should have i used, vain looks, overinflated ego, into guys with more money. I said what i said which goes on in real world. I do not form my opinion on "what should be" or "what beautiful lies web series shows us"..
@@UnShEeP924 ok seriously..stop it..u r making a complete fool of urself right now. Penny was being a cruel person here which has nothing to do with her gender..but ur comment is no less idiotic than Penny's statement. So how about you grow up now?
@@ms.dentist ok how about the fact that penny is a woman and the chances of her saying all those things were less if it was a man instead of penny. My point isn't gender specific, its still points to penny. So how about YOU STOP fantasizing about your fairytale world and GROW UP. While you do that, try to come back to real world where nothing happens like you wish them to be.
He was travelling into the future and he used backward pressure, whereas Rod Taylor in the movie, and also in Wells' novel, backward pressure sends the traveller and the machine into the past. Come on Big Bang. :(
2:10 It's a damn shame Raj said "you'll end up in 1876 Pasadena" without adding "four stories high" (I'm willing to bet their apartment building didn't exist back then :D).
Is ironic how penny talks about they wasting their lives while she works in a restaurant as a waitress and all this guys have PhDs and masters degrees and probably she will go see keeping up with the kardashians next and buy an horoscope.lmao
She called Howard ' pathetic and creepy' in s2e12 . Kripke pointed out that there all '' pathetic and creepy and can't get girls.'' The guys were kind of pathetic and creepy at the time . Howard definitely was . Raj was pathetic and creepy because he couldn't speak to women and was using satellites to spy on women from America's top model and Sheldon cleaned Penny's apartment in s1e2. That's so creepy because they just met the previous episodes and only started to become neighbours . They didn't know each other well at the time. They lives have changed for the better when they met Penny. If it wasn't for Penny , Raj would still be unable to speak to women, Leonard and Sheldon would still have no social skills and if Penny didn't introduce Howard to Bernadette , he would still be the lonely creep he was in the early seasons.
@@demiopeseitan6965 Their lives did not change for the better. Bernadette turned out to be an absolutely horrible human being. She is just a mean shrew that has nothing but sarcastic comments for everyone, no redeeming qualities other than her cup size. Penny turned out to be the same, to a lesser degree. Both of them are cruel to these guys. Howard and Leonard would've been better off without them. Without Penny, Leonard would've ended up with Alex, who actually respected him.
I'm not really a geek, and I'm straight, so I'd much rather hang out with a hot girl at her messy apartment, getting drunk and playing Twister, than sitting in a fake time machine with a couple other uber-nerds going "wooooooooooo!"
It's funny how they're a group of smart scientist that possibly capable to build a real time machine and they still adore a "real" time machine like that
I'm not really a geek, and I'm straight, so I'd much rather hang out with a hot girl at her messy apartment, getting drunk and playing Twister, than sitting in a fake time machine with a couple other uber-nerds going "wooooooooooo!"
I get that and understand that. I guess its the idea, I like her and all, but Penny can be very irresponsible sometimes. It wasn't like they did it on purpose, but I agree with one of the posters, maybe they should have given a heads up to let people know they were bringing it up the stairs. She didn't have to be a total bitch, their things are collectible items, and can be worth a lot in the future. She said they were pathetic, but she's always looking to them to help her with everything.
The only thing “pathetic” about this scene is the waitress/failed actress calling out 4 accomplished scientists just because they can afford to pursue their passions.
No....Penny was pathetic. This show was a display of misandry in so many instances. But no one calls that sort of thing out. Only when females are even remotely slighted.
How does Penny say they are wasting their lives, when all of them are high achieving members of their field while she was just a waitress hoping for an acting gig to become rich and famous.
Well Considering what they have achieved and the amount of schooling and work it took..... it looks pretty illogical to spend time and money on something which doesn't even work
I recently went thru something similar to this episode with my "best friend" We used to hang out all the time and bond over lots of things, including childish things like SpongeBob. But then she got a boyfriend and of course that changes everything. After so many months of being ignored by her I decided to speak up and tell her how unwanted I've felt, and she tells me the reason she stopped having me around is because I'm immature for my age and my childish hobbies and interests "hold her back". Well I called her out on her BS reason and told her if something small like that is enough to make her thing it's okay to abandon a friend, especially if that friend has been a good friend to her, then she's the one in need of maturing. Plus she has a room full of Squishmallows and I never judged her for it so she wasn't one to judge. Never let anyone make you feel bad for what you love, especially if it's not hurting anybody.
damn this show makes me wish I had geeky friends like the 4 geeks but most of my freinds are either Penny , Amy or a Bernadette while some are geeky but not geeky enough :/
The first time Bazinga was used on a television program was The X-Files. This Time Machine was also in an episode of the X-Files called Unusual Suspects. You can see the time machine in one shot with Mulder and next time you him again the time machine had disappeared. Maybe one of the writers for TBBT also wrote for the X-Files.
With a (failed) dream of being an actress ,calling those guys pathetic who have proven themselves successful in academics and in their lives... You don't realize big gaping holes in tbbt plot until you watch it again.
Penny says that they are pathetic and wasting their lives on comic books and toys and costumes. The irony of this situation is that all the guys have stable jobs and can afford to buy stuff for themselves(I'm not even going into their educational qualifications) whereas Penny is a failed actress who works as a waitress at the Cheesecake Factory and mooches off of guys for food, wifi and even her rent.
I'm not really a geek, and I'm straight, so I'd much rather hang out with a hot girl at her messy apartment, getting drunk and playing Twister, than sitting in a fake time machine with a couple other uber-nerds going "wooooooooooo!"
The guy who lives next next to me is always like, “I have a jacuzzi on my balcony, I have a jacuzzi on my balcony” wait till I tell him, I have a time machine on my balcony😂😂😂
Okey. I know that what Penny said was bad but ever if she was late at first I would be really pissed of if something makes me arrive ever MORE late. Anyway later she apologised and said that It was the heat of the moment. I don't think she deserves so much hate (srry for my English i'm from Spain)
I'm surprised they missed the point that since the Time Machine does not move through space, not only would it still be in Pasadena, it'd be 4 stories up off the ground if they ever traveled to a point in time where the building they are in does not exist. It would either end up in mid-air, or fused into the walls of another building, which, by the original time-traveler's reckonings, would cause a massive explosion.
This show usually makes me laugh. But that part where they move around all fast is quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen.

After season 6 the show was impossible to watch. It just felt boring and stale.
TBBT peaked at season seven maybe eight, after that, it did get stale.
@@michaellalli7693 the first like 10 episodes of season 7 were boring, after that they were good but season 8 is unwatchable
Can you explain me what Is so funny? 🙄
this part was real sad, Leonard was just having fun with his friends, who is proud of who he is and not ashamed of him of being a nerd. That is until Penny being a complete bitch who devastated him with those cruel words, he later wanted to change to impress Penny and get rid of the time machine. I guess the moral of the story is Don't be ashamed of who you are.
Wouldnt take what penny said really hard. She was angry and frustrated - Her workday was messed up because of that machine - particularly because they seem to have no idea how they were the cause of her misfortunate day. She was speaking emotionally and out of frustration towards them.
@@yoronjo but she did kind of went overboard with her words.
Penny doesn't earn well like them to be bitching around like them. She earn per day.
The mature thing would be to compensate her for lost wages.
Y’all blaming penny for acting like this, I would be a bitch too if I lose my shift to a dumb ass time machine bullshit
I noticed that at the end of the episode, Penny only says sorry to Leonard when she called all of them pathetic
Cause the rest forgot about it and didn't care. Plus, they all understood that she was just venting and didn't really mean it... Leonard only took it to heart because he himself feels insecure and unworthy of her, and she forgets that he feels that way sometimes.
Maybe logically, Leonard knew that she didn't really mean that.. but emotionally, he felt she did. And often times, even if you logically know they don't hate you or look down on you, if you feel like they do, it would make you feel bad.
Actually, she apologized when Sheldon called her out for being hypocritical.
@@Thomperfan I really wanted to see that
leonard took it the hardest, clearly. The rest of them shook it off immediately
@@Thomperfan she went there to apologize before Sheldon called her out. She would've apologized regardless
"It looks like something Elton John would drive through the Everglades" - One of the funniest lines of any season of THE BIG BANG THEORY.
I agree 🤣🤣
I share a birthday with elton john lol
That's a pretty sweet time machine. Haters gonna hate.
She's not a hater... she's just mad...
@Yèlena Not true; she loves him. You are just taking things in the worst possible way and are having a huge bias.
It's not that she hates his geekiness... she just doesn't want that stuff around the house.
She loves his geekiness. She just doesn't want to be known as one.
If she wants to change a single part of him, it'd be how he's a push over towards her; but she also accepts that it's because he's been scarred and probably won't be able to change that.
What she's worried about is that it would continue too far and their marriage would dissolve into what Amy's parents have.
To her, Leonard and Sheldon are the most important people and she would do almost anything for them.
Yah, she's going to be difficult at times. People can be difficult.
But in the end, she will stick through thick and thin for them and would sacrifice anything for them.
@Yèlena She wants her house to have an image. That's all.
What? You think my mom hates me for having anime stuff around my room?
Just because she dislikes the stuff doesn't mean she dislikes the person.
She's supportive of their activities.... she just doesn't want it to be front and center around the house.
You are making it seem worse than it really is.
My parents hated that I collected Yugioh and Pokemon cards.
But that doesn't mean they hate me.
For crying out loud, my wife makes the money and hates me liking waifus, and only lets me have a certain space for that stuff, but that doesn't mean she hates me.
You need to remember, it's not the most looked up to hobby. You shouldn't take that so personally.
Instead, you should try and understand where they are coming from.
Penny loves Leonard and would stick with him through almost anything.
Sure, she can be difficult at times. But they move on from that. And she let him keep his geek stuff in the end.
She was just trying to go as far as she could before he figured it out.
Hell, Leonard didn't even notice for the first while.
That is important to remember.
But the people she loves most in the world are Leonard and Sheldon.
And frankly, she took upon herself a mother role for a man around the same age as her, being caring and supportive.
But I like how you are ignoring that part.
People aren't built off of either being all good or all bad.
It's that they have good points and bad points and you got to deal with that.
@Yèlena Honestly; you are the one that sounds shallow.
She was causing trouble (for a bit) for his hobby and you seem to hate her.
And frankly, the fact that my mother raised me my entire life, took care of me and showed me endless love doesn't change just because she dislikes my hobby.
In the end, it's not considered a very honorable hobby and it's only recently that people started to be okay with it.
You want people to understand and be accepting of you, but then you don't want to do the reverse.
i would never consider giving up the things i love for a girl. besides, Penny being late was her own fault to be honest
How was it her fault? She would have been on time if it wasn't for the damn thing being stuck in the stairwell.
And it's all their faults for never really informing anyone about the elevator
To be fair there are other people who live in the building (although aside from Leonard Sheldon and Penny we only see like two other people who live there) it only begs the question of why hasn't ANYONE in the building tried to get the elevator repaired?
You know... she wouldn't be late if she took the time machine.
Penny did say she was running late, so it is partially her own fault.

This episode really hits home for me. I don't disclose this to a lot of people but I myself am a time traveler. However my time-traveling abilities have two slight limitations. Firstly, thus far , I have only been able to travel forward in time. I have yet to unlock my ability to travel to the Past. The second limiting factor in my time traveling is that the process does not happen as instantaneously as you would expect.. It is actually a rather slow process. In fact, to give an example , in order for me to travel say one month into the future it takes approximately 30 days...
That's better than nothing.
@Akshay Natu sorry for the late reply. Today is daylight savings which wreaks havoc on my time travelling.
I do that too! Holy cow I'm a time traveler!
That feeling when someone you love bashes something else you equally love. 💔
Early Big Bang. Love it. It's still fun to watch, but it isn't the same.
This one, along with the Barbarian-Something where Penny gets addicted to online gaming, are two of my favorites.
Emy fucked the show
I love how they have fun calculating how to travel through time. The only problem is that in the original book and movie, you don't set the dials and go there, you push the lever to travel into the future at a steady rate, watch the dials until you get to the time you want, then reverse the lever until you have stopped.
But still, good God, do I want that time machine!
@akshaynatu1084 not as much as I did 10 years ago, but I still want that Time Machine!
Awwww! Penny is so mean in this clip!
Because the guys made her late and miss work thanks to the time machine blocking the stairs

This machine/movie prop was also used in the movie Gremlims.
“It only moves in time.
It would be worse than useless in a swamp.”
I love how they all begin acting around Leonard they are a great team
remember that Leonard didn't know it was gonna be a life-size version of the time machine. although it was partially their fault, she still had no right to say those things to them. Who was she to criticize them about their interests? Like she said at the end of the episode, "It's the things you love that make you who you are."
The first episode of Big Bang that I saw. I was hooked as a forever fan the moment Leonard spins the time machine wheel. I think it's one of the funniest moments in television history.
I used to be like leonard, caring what sexy girls thought of me... When I got my PhD (in real) i found out what I fool i was to care what others think of myself....

May I ask, what did you get your PhD in?
The laughing from the studio audience is the most genuine iv ever heard.
I am so glad that when Penny was not loving Leonard he went straight back to the things he loves! If she is not going to love him why should he continue to behave the way she wants him to behave? No love ... No obedience! Good for you Leonard!
Absolutely right. Absolutely right. I said above but I love as well how the guys have dealt with a lifetime of being ignored, used or abused by women who see themselves as out of their league so that, except for Leonard initially until a bit later in the episode, they all just brush it off and continue with what they're doing without a second thought. This is nothing new for them (as we find out in the Dennis Kim episode) so they don't even pay it any mind and good for them.
Where's your sense of fun Penny?
Thomas Walder only when it doesn’t inconvenience her and it’s even more meaningless than what the guys are doing
Your comment is at 69 likes and you already have your answer.
well it's hard not to be pissed about losing your shift because of their inconveniences. But yeah she shouldn't have bashed on them for their hobbies and tastes. She should've tried making them imagine being put in her shoes for what they did instead. Then maybe they won't let something like that happen again and maybe help her if it does happen again.
She goes out and dances, drinks and socializes. That's her sense of fun.
Couple of things about what Penny said:
It was rude, very unfair and hypocritical of her - a struggling actress and part-time employed waitress to call 4 grown men who had studied hard to achieve advanced degrees/PHDs and careers in science PATHETIC.
To be fair to Penny, however, because they were moving the time machine up the staircase, it affected her as she missed her work shift so she was right to be mad at them there, but she could have just left earlier to make it on time since she was already running late.
Finally, although it was rude, she was not wrong to call Leonard pathetic, because he was completely pathetic as he let her get in his head and considered throwing out all of his collectibles, action figures and comic books all because of her saying what she said. She might have apologised, but Leonard had no backbone to stand up for himself and no common sense that it was wrong for him to let her get in his head like that.
Very well said.
I wish I had a Penny, but that would involve getting married
You're absolutely right. Like you say, she was already running late which was her fault not theirs and
it would have been the same if someone was bringing up a sofa or a wardrobe, be it the delivery men or the other people in her apartment. Penny had no reason to tee off on them like that.
This is such a bullshit examination of this incident. Penny isn’t at fault for not leaving early, this is one of those things a person should ideally do so things are better off but not something you can blame them for not doing or use as an excuse to mitigate in this case the guys’ blocking the stairwell.
Likewise, Penny was justified in being angry at them for how their actions affected her, but had no right to get personal and insult their hobbies. Penny isn’t “not wrong” for calling Leonard pathetic just because Leonard ended up taking that insult to heart. This is such a shitty form of victim blaming, it just isn’t true.
A lot of people can say things when they're really angry. She claimed them for waste time and a days pay
If the time machine actually worked, then going too far back in time would be suicide by gravity, because the college dorm complex hasn't been built yet. For that matter, even if you only use the time machine at ground level, the fact that it cannot move itself through space would probably result in the user asphyxiating in a vacuum while Earth is in a completely different position in its solar orbit.
I was thinking that. What if they go back in time and the whole thing goes crashing to the ground 3 storeys up in a nonexistent apartment block?
I love the Time Machine especially the changing fashions in the Ladies clothing shop window. ❤
Howard: “Hey, you want to use my time machine? It’s at my FRIENDS house! How lame is that?” XD That’s a good point for Howard.
As far as the scolding from Penny, instead of jumping the ‘gap’ to the opposite building’s fire escape, going down their stairwell, she could’ve just helped the guys with pulling the time machine prop on the final flight of stairs and just barely make her shift... after waiting for Howard to come back after throwing up, of course.
“I propose that we add, “Pants” must be worn at all times in the time machine”. 😂
"Leonard, it's 2 in the morning."
So?
"So it's my turn."

It’s still my turn.

They say nobody knows Penny last name, but I do: It's "Redflag".
The "elton john everglades" line KILLED ME and the rest of my non-nerd family didn't even get the joke.
First error here is you push the lever forward to go into the future. Here they pulled on the lever which would send the machine into the past.
sportsmedia25 well they were gonna go see alexander graham bell
+Jason Marin Maybe they watched the remake... I'm not stating it was worth watching. I think that version of time machine had option to set target time. As for the lever - well, blame it on the director of the series.
it's still the same, forward to go forward, backwards to go backwards
I really hated Penny in this episode, but still, it was just season 1 and she did "grow" throughout the series. Besides, it's the "pathetic" ones who later on lent her money so she can stay in her apartment.
At one point she was making more money then them, "Dude is she only with you cause you're rich" "That's the thing, she makes more money than I do!".
That wasn't really being pathetic, it was helping a friend out.
@@Thomperfan ..
@@guitarlover1370 so?! She got the job thru bernadette. She is into acting. But she couldn’t do that. Leonard is into science and thus loves his job. Penny only flirts with guys to get sales
@@mancitykshah2737 What?
"It looks like something Elton John would drive through the Everglades!" And it really kind of does.
She really is a good actress!!! It is not always an easy role that she has to play... So many situations and feelings that she has to play!
Anyway, they could have convinced here to move back to the beginning of the day with this time machine. :P
Me too. I can't believe they still want to hang out with her after all the time she insults them. They have hobbies that are quite cool, she has none, so she can't say a thing. And how could they know what she would have benn throught? Not their fault, she really is a b*tch when she's mad. Leonard deserves better than her.
That's why it is just a TV show.
To be fair, it's not like she's always bad. I mean, this time, they caused her a lot of trouble. She nearly lost her entire livelihood because of them. Frankly speaking, it is their fault, because they are the ones who blocked the ONLY way to properly get out of the building. During that moment, they were being extremely bad neighbors... and frankly, I feel that people are just mad at the fact that she insulted geekdom rather than the fact that she was in the wrong.
It's logically fair to vent and get mad in that situation.
And she supports their hobby well enough.
I mean, when people hate on characters (or over love them), they often make them 2 dimensional and just pick and choose what parts of the character to focus on.
You focus on her insulting them, but ignore every time they cause her problems, and the fact that she often supports them, helps them, nurtures Sheldon like a mother quite often and frankly is an over all good friend...
But ya, no, sometimes getting mad and mean like a human being automatically makes her a bad person... even when she had a good reason to be mad...
@@TheDeathmail Or when she dumps Leonard for a stupid reason? Yeah she helps sometimes and sometimes she gets stupid and sometimes she's not the greatest but doesn't mean everyone loves her.
@@Karomix3 From what I understand yes, she was in the wrong here.
She was ALREADY running late and if she had just left on time she would not have gotten stopped by the guys.
She also leeches off of Leonard and Sheldon, taking food, money, and wifi from them without ever paying them back a single thing.
She has no business calling them pathetic and unsuccessful.
@@randomindividual769 Exactly. She can't blame the guys for being late when she was already running late in the first place, wouldn't have happened if she went on time, and if she was late by the time the guys brought the entire thing to their floor I guess it says everything.
this is one of my favorite episodes of the entire show

That was pretty uncalled for. Imagine if it was a man calling out a woman on her nonsensical attachment towards jewellery and overreaction and overthinking on things which are essentially simple.
Oh the horror and the internet rage!!!!!!!!......
the point was plausible and sensible without the "imagine if it was a man" there so many better ways to debate a topic than operating what can be said about genders. Not to mention if ur outrage was about if the gender roles were reversed you could have said imagine if it was a man talking to a woman like that (although I still believe this is not the right way) but the fact that u didn't and chose to use jewellery showcases your prejudice. Yes, Penny shouldn't have spoken like that but it doesn't matter what her gender was people were still outraged. So stop with the extra bs and speak abt the actual point: Penny was rude. It doesn't matter her gender. 🙄

That's what Sheldon called Raj's desk.
He was travelling into the future and he used backward pressure, whereas Rod Taylor in the movie, and also in Wells' novel, backward pressure sends the traveller and the machine into the past. Come on Big Bang. :(
Second that
Right on, I just posted such message, six years too late. LoL.
2:10 It's a damn shame Raj said "you'll end up in 1876 Pasadena" without adding "four stories high" (I'm willing to bet their apartment building didn't exist back then :D).
Why did Penny always have to burst into the room spoiling the fun. And why did those guys give a shit what she thought anyways.
practicing for her future role as a wife, their job is to make sure you're not having fun
0:27 Sheldon laughed on Howard’s joke!
As a huge nerd, this is one of the best scenes due to its relatability level. Partying is a waste of time compared to this.
Is ironic how penny talks about they wasting their lives while she works in a restaurant as a waitress and all this guys have PhDs and masters degrees and probably she will go see keeping up with the kardashians next and buy an horoscope.lmao
She called Howard ' pathetic and creepy' in s2e12 . Kripke pointed out that there all '' pathetic and creepy and can't get girls.'' The guys were kind of pathetic and creepy at the time . Howard definitely was . Raj was pathetic and creepy because he couldn't speak to women and was using satellites to spy on women from America's top model and Sheldon cleaned Penny's apartment in s1e2. That's so creepy because they just met the previous episodes and only started to become neighbours . They didn't know each other well at the time. They lives have changed for the better when they met Penny. If it wasn't for Penny , Raj would still be unable to speak to women, Leonard and Sheldon would still have no social skills and if Penny didn't introduce Howard to Bernadette , he would still be the lonely creep he was in the early seasons.
@@demiopeseitan6965 Their lives did not change for the better. Bernadette turned out to be an absolutely horrible human being. She is just a mean shrew that has nothing but sarcastic comments for everyone, no redeeming qualities other than her cup size. Penny turned out to be the same, to a lesser degree. Both of them are cruel to these guys. Howard and Leonard would've been better off without them. Without Penny, Leonard would've ended up with Alex, who actually respected him.

thats actually pretty accurate. all friends enjoying the same moment
I get that and understand that. I guess its the idea, I like her and all, but Penny can be very irresponsible sometimes. It wasn't like they did it on purpose, but I agree with one of the posters, maybe they should have given a heads up to let people know they were bringing it up the stairs. She didn't have to be a total bitch, their things are collectible items, and can be worth a lot in the future. She said they were pathetic, but she's always looking to them to help her with everything.
This time machine scene is one of the best scene of the show !!
That Elton John joke was hilarious😂
losing a days pay as a waitress can be a disaster!
Yeah restaurant jobs are hellish and don’t pay well. I’m glad penny found a better gig in pharmacy sales in the later seasons
This show makes me glad I'm a such a nerd even after I graduated from high school
The only thing “pathetic” about this scene is the waitress/failed actress calling out 4 accomplished scientists just because they can afford to pursue their passions.
You know, I searched for this clip just so I could hear that line again! :-)
Poor Leonard :( He's such a sweet heart. They are having fun :D I dont think they are pathetic =)
"Talk about your chick magnets." Yeah that'll REALLY attract girls, Howard haha
No....Penny was pathetic. This show was a display of misandry in so many instances. But no one calls that sort of thing out. Only when females are even remotely slighted.

How does Penny say they are wasting their lives, when all of them are high achieving members of their field while she was just a waitress hoping for an acting gig to become rich and famous.
Well
Considering what they have achieved and the amount of schooling and work it took..... it looks pretty illogical to spend time and money on something which doesn't even work
I have seen Friends, Two and a half men multiple times but I could not even bear this one for once.
Their grown men who play with toys but at least they are scientists so the contribute to society. Oh and the Time Machine is awsome sorry penny 😏😈
I recently went thru something similar to this episode with my "best friend"
We used to hang out all the time and bond over lots of things, including childish things like SpongeBob. But then she got a boyfriend and of course that changes everything. After so many months of being ignored by her I decided to speak up and tell her how unwanted I've felt, and she tells me the reason she stopped having me around is because I'm immature for my age and my childish hobbies and interests "hold her back". Well I called her out on her BS reason and told her if something small like that is enough to make her thing it's okay to abandon a friend, especially if that friend has been a good friend to her, then she's the one in need of maturing. Plus she has a room full of Squishmallows and I never judged her for it so she wasn't one to judge.
Never let anyone make you feel bad for what you love, especially if it's not hurting anybody.
damn this show makes me wish I had geeky friends like the 4 geeks but most of my freinds are either Penny , Amy or a Bernadette while some are geeky but not geeky enough :/
The first time Bazinga was used on a television program was The X-Files. This Time Machine was also in an episode of the X-Files called Unusual Suspects. You can see the time machine in one shot with Mulder and next time you him again the time machine had disappeared. Maybe one of the writers for TBBT also wrote for the X-Files.
With a (failed) dream of being an actress ,calling those guys pathetic who have proven themselves successful in academics and in their lives... You don't realize big gaping holes in tbbt plot until you watch it again.

Penny says that they are pathetic and wasting their lives on comic books and toys and costumes. The irony of this situation is that all the guys have stable jobs and can afford to buy stuff for themselves(I'm not even going into their educational qualifications) whereas Penny is a failed actress who works as a waitress at the Cheesecake Factory and mooches off of guys for food, wifi and even her rent.

I remember being really pissed at Penny in this episode, even thought we gotta grow up, that doesn't mean we have to stop liking the things we like
she missed a days work unless you are restaurant sever you will never understand!
"Oh please, this isn't a time machine, at best it looks like something Elton John would drive through the everglades."
Okey. I know that what Penny said was bad but ever if she was late at first I would be really pissed of if something makes me arrive ever MORE late. Anyway later she apologised and said that It was the heat of the moment. I don't think she deserves so much hate (srry for my English i'm from Spain)
I'm surprised they missed the point that since the Time Machine does not move through space, not only would it still be in Pasadena, it'd be 4 stories up off the ground if they ever traveled to a point in time where the building they are in does not exist. It would either end up in mid-air, or fused into the walls of another building, which, by the original time-traveler's reckonings, would cause a massive explosion.
And this is the chick that he married at the end of the series. God I hate penny.
