@Carlos Spiceywhiener I get what the professor was trying to do but how he made fun of Sheldon with the other teacher kinda ruins the lesson to me. Yes Sheldon is a smug genius but he is also a child so damaging his mental state ruins it for me
@@theoutsiderjess1869 He's a tenured professor. This man has the freedom to hold more firmly to higher academic standards. If you mess up in adult life, you have to do your research, figure out where you went wrong, and do better. Adults who learn trial by fire, they figure out the answer by themselves, they develop thicker skin, and can think for themselves more readily. Sounds like Adult Sheldon has taken those hardball experiences and turned it against everyone else, hence why he's so annoying to others and unanimously hated as a college professor.
@@theoutsiderjess1869 This "child" is taking a college level class. He must be held to the same standards as everyone else, unless a documented disability requires test taking accomodations, of which Sheldon has none.
@@ianandersen265 even child genius don't fully understand the lessons human beings aren't perfect there are things that you would understand that I won't understand and vice versa and it's up to our parents and teachers to guide us. Which seems to be something the teacher doesn't want to do
+MissRJB Yep. I've got the same feeling. Basically it should teach him a lesson about life and that he can't be pampered, entitled, given special treatment, be a know-it-all etc.!
As an engineer I love how often some people pretends that our work Is not so difficult but are totally ignorant about it and get mad when we call them out on their BS.
I do want to chime in here as a civil engineering student. I think the premise of this episode is kinda dumb because there’s absolutely no reason Sheldon should be taking a high level design class when he’s not an engineering student. They called it “civil engineering lab” (which on its own makes no sense but I digress) so it’s logical to assume that it’s an introductory level course. Bridge design is a 4000 level (senior undergrad) course at my school. There’s no reason a non engineering student should be in it. Hell, I’m not even gonna be taking that course because I’m not focusing in structural engineering. I’m doing transportation
The Guy is non neuro typical. Ge literally can't naturally see those non verbal social cues and understand them. Blind people at least have their cains and other compansatory method. That tolerance from family and friends is all he have. Tbatt Proff manipulated his dad, and was actually an douchebag to young teens because, *at best* he got a on-up one him. This was an abuse of power. If that dad was smarter, he would at a roundabout way, point out that Proff the was targeting a kid who is most of the time right. And a kid when most are *legal age.*
@@fanOmry I knowwwww he has so many symptoms of having some type of autism but its overlooked sure his mother had him tested but I think it was for insanity or phscypothy
Damn, the conversation between Sheldon and Howard made me laugh. Their interactions on the show were amazing and bittersweet kind. Looks like it continued years later too. Haha. Poor Howie.
Was great that they included Howard in this episode, when he spoke it made me laugh 😃 At least now he knows the real reason where all the engineering insults came from lol
What's funny is that static bridge design is fairly simple involving mostly using simple geometry to track load paths back to the supports. Even lateral loads such as wind are fairly easy to design for, especially by the late 80s after engineers had mostly learned their lesson from previous mistakes (Tacoma Narrows)
Now the whole bridge can be designed and simulated in a computer even reducing the efforts by the engineer. Still we had to learn how to find the result the conventional way for the exams.
@@OV3R-9K I've seen what happens to airflow in ventilation systems when it is only tested in the simulation and never in reality: The simulation doesn't consider corners and the turbulence they cause. So if you don't mind I'll only use a new bridge design after a couple thousand other people have used them.
Okay, I just want to point out that at 2:03 the 9th edition AISC steel design manual (often called the green book by engineers) is historically accurate as the text Sheldon would be using. It's often still used by older engineers today as a reference.
I understand Sheldon now. I dont hate engineering, I am en engineer myself but sometimes I feel engineering is not objective but subjective, open to interpretation of another engineer. I work as an schematic verification engineer, I do my best effort and I am very focused and detailed oriented but when I sent my work to the quality engineer he sometimes interprets things differently, there are even different interpretations or ways of thinking between quality engineers and I sometimes feel frustrated because there is not a real consensus.
@@salmansirajsalarzai7237 Yep, with one difference: Engineering happens in actual reality, so it gets some base level of reality checks. Economics is a misunderstandings all the way down.

As an engineering student doing masters... I can confirm... there's no such a thing as an exact answer, you have to get the right "estimate" in the bulk part, while having to understand and be able to communicate such in a timely manner...or you just lose many investors.......Scientists may not have to deal with such a situation sitting comfortably with a tenure position with a college professor pension...an engineer in a startup firm, not so much. Forever grateful for one of my engineering profs who taught me.
That's why when people ask me questions I don't answer right a I'm running numbers in my head then when that's not enough I grab a piece of paper then I grab my calculator
Yeah I laughed when he figured out the answer was wind. I’m an Architectural Technology Student doing my 3rd course in structures in buildings and I was good enough to become a tutor in the course. Two common problems students had was not understanding why we factor loads and looking at the building in 4 dimensions. They end up writing out the calcs without any 3D diagrams.
As an undergrad in civil engineering, I find the whole premise of this episode to be idiotic. There is absolutely no reason a non engineering student should be in a structural design course. You have to first take statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and structural analysis before you can get to design work.

@@blackjac5000 The teacher needs to teach, not just tell Sheldon he's wrong over and over and giving him no further instructions. Guidance is a core part of teaching: otherwise, why not have students self-learn the subject without having a teacher to begin with?
That was in season 1. He befriended a student who liked geology and thought she considered him an intellectual equal, but then he found out she thought of him as a little kid.
As a civil engineering student, I take issue with this. A lot. It’s called “civil engineering lab” which on its own is very vague, but considering the fact that Sheldon is not an engineering student, it’s logical to assume that it’s an introductory class. So why tf is he designing a bridge? That is a 4000 level (highest undergrad level idk if the 1000 scale is universal) design project that senior CE students would spend weeks on in groups
Sheldon was so superior and smug when the professor locked out the other student on the first day of class. He needs a comeuppance a lot more than he ever gets it. Too many people would have let him in, especially after the university president asked him to go easy on Sheldon.
This reminds me of the time I was late 10 seconds for my CNA (Computer Network Architecture) exam and the prof. slammed the door in my face and told me "tough luck kid, you can take it next year". I studied 2 weeks non stop for that exam :)
Hopefully your face is alright. If you suffered heavy injuries to the teeth then I would have filed a complaint against that prof... Tbh its one thing to lock a student out but to slam the door in their face seems excessive and uncalled for.
I figured it out! I figured out why the professor kept tearing it up. There’s no way he could be sure that Sheldon’s assignment was wrong with how quickly he tore it up. It was because he turned it in too EARLY! This guy is entirely about punctuation. Being too early is just as irritating to him as being too late!
@@natashajagadhish1887 But it still doesn’t explain how the professor was able to tell that just by looking at a complicated formula for a bridge. And all the other times he barely looked at it so how did he know that the wind resistant thing wasn’t on there?
@@Bitsy83 because he’s obviously a master in his discipline and a quick glance is all he needs to determine it’s wrong, or maybe it’s done for plot purposes? You’re looking too deep into the logic of fictional characters
@@johnsoapmactavish9921 to be fair, it would take a glance to see if he didn't get the right answer, and another to see that wind resistance wasn't added. Every time he submits it after the first time, all the teacher needs to do is check if the answer is wrong and if he still made the same mistake.
I love how he got angry because engineering was the first subject he wasn't immediately good at, unfortunately he didn't actually learn from it and continued to believe he was perfect. In Engineering, that mindset will get people killed, glad he chose a different profession.
He was good at it though, the engineering professor didnt even look at his papers before ripping them. Refusing to help him improve at it certainly didn't help either.
or they never really loved it....Had a college art teacher who hated me and i him....i learned alot from him reguardless....we hated eachothers politics but loved eachother color theory ideas,,,,,,,,had a coworker who i hated too and vice versa....loved talking mythology and religion....not politics he was a lazy racist progressive like my art teacher....both were white and offended for me
Bruh what's sad is that ik there are teachers and principals like that out there choosing favorite and least liked student and honestly they need to be fired and exposed for having such a biased opinion on students
why? This professor treatesd Sheldon like everyone else. Sure while nowhere near students he enjoyed mocking the kid, but it's in a private situation. while in front of students he treated everyone the same.
"Coddling the boy won't prepare him for the real world." Never a truer word spoken about Sheldon. I know his parents loved him but they sheltered him too much, especially Mary. Which is why he grew up in be a big man child. At least until he met Leonard and his friends and Amy. They made him a more well adjusted adult.
My thoughts exactly. I mean, despite how much everyone always complained about Sheldon, they all did awful things to him and hurt his feelings because they didn’t actually believe he had any feelings they could hurt and they weren’t called out as much or enough as they all called Sheldon out for how bad they thought and said he was.
I think his intelligence went to his head and that he’s pretty arrogant and can use this life lesson as well as take some suggestions on how to get information across in a nice way sometimes. Tho, I can’t understate that the amount of flak you get for being as logical as Sheldon creating misunderstandings is played down
Why did Georgie back off on the calling the teacher's bs of thinking that pointing Sheldon in the right direction and giving him the answer was the same thing so quickly? "Why don't you point him in the right direction?" "You mean give him the answer?" "No, no" _calling him out on his BS of thinking that those are the same thing, nice_ "Will you?" Georgie what are you doing?! And then afterwards it somehow gets to Georgie's head that pointing him in the right direction and giving him the answer are the same thing even though he knew before hand that it isn't
Dude… I went to Texas Tech University, studied Computer Engineering, and we had an ex-military professor who was just like this guy. Looked like him too. Makes me wonder if it’s roughly based off him or just coincidence.
Giving a direction isn't the same as giving the answer. Giving a direction is more of a hint where one goes wrong or pointing out an oversight. Not giving them anything too work out on, isn't teaching it's lazy. You are too teach the students the fundamentals too future advance themselves. So, instead of giving Sheldon quicksand, he should be give Sheldon a rock foundation.
Business management is a joke of a program. Engineering generally teaches better work ethic and discipline, but also teaches you difficult content. Business management is just a degree for the piece of paper, you don’t learn discipline, difficult content, or time management.
Because Sheldon was smug and arrogant. Professors like students who are confident, but there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and Sheldon often crossed it. He also handed in a paper that was wrong and wouldn't admit he had made a mistake at first. Not just that, but he wanted the answer to be given to him instead of working for it even though he was more than capable of doing it.
@@pezpeculiar9557I've seen you say this on several replies so I'm curious how you would guide him without giving him the answer. Cause in this case, guiding him would be giving him the answer
@@gerstein03tell him he is missing a part of the work, or tell him he forgot to factor in something. Anything that wasn't "you did it wrong" would have been helpful really.
@@gerstein03How about simply saying "while your calculations are mathematically correct, this design can never work in the real world, can you figure out why?", or "are you sure you're taking all the real world variables into account?". How is that giving away the answer?
Normally, I root against Sheldon as a kid. But in this case, That engineering teacher would be the 1st I would show my Nobel Prize to...And proceed to 'Cuss' his pompous ass out!
The problem with the figure it out yourself idea is it decredits all value of school. I can learn it myself, or I can go have somebody teach me at school.
That's exactly the point that most people who defend Howard seem to logically miss. If you expect someone to teach everything themselves, then there really is no purpose in having them require to go to college or have any kind of schooling institution because first of all, they can go to the internet and gain access to other resources and two, they simply go to a nearby college just to ask a professor or ta for help during available office hours whenever you need help without even enrolling in college.
@@evanurena8868 to be fair this was an important class project and Sheldon was asking for the answer presumably if he didn't get it wrong he would have been given the answer after the test was marked and if he asked other questions that weren't essentially 'okay so what's the answer' he would have been given help. Sheldon was already being given assistance by being told that he was wrong and he had time to correct it.
Sheldon has every right to hate engineering after this because he spent a hard and long time on this project only for it to be impossible for him to turn it in. It was a huge waste of his time
The fact that the prof tears the succeeding papers without even reviewing destroys the credibility of the prof., It doesn't make sense. How would he know if sheldon already or did not include the external forces such as wind without even looking...
They got the resonance idea wrong, wind can trigger resonance yes but the external forcing on the structure needs to be really perfect to hit that peak eigenfrequency. This is relatively unlikely for any system. In fact I know of no known cases except experiment when it is induced like in the breaking a wine glass with sound experiment. However what I have heard of occurring with real structures like the Tacoma Narrows bridge in Washington state USA is a fluid structure interaction like aeroelastic flutter. This occurs above some critical velocity so just requires high winds above that critical velocity that are sustained, or in its more standard use case sets the flight envelope for airplanes.

@@teentitans0 It is worth the rewatch, and I’m really sad that there are so many questions that remain unanswered: What is Penny’s Last Name, Will Sheldon and Amy have kids, will Leonard and Penny have a boy, girl, or twins? Sadly, we’ll never know

The humor of the end is immediately lost when you realize it’s two adults making fun of and laughing at a literal child
Sheldon is obnoxious
and? He’s still in this clip a LITERAL CHILD
Aaaaaaand you are *fired* sir. The contacted us this morning.😊😂
It’s a shame Lance Riddicks voice is never going to be heard again😢
As a civil engineering student, I take issue with this. A lot. It’s called “civil engineering lab” which on its own is very vague, but considering the fact that Sheldon is not an engineering student, it’s logical to assume that it’s an introductory class. So why tf is he designing a bridge? That is a 4000 level (highest undergrad level idk if the 1000 scale is universal) design project that senior CE students would spend weeks on in groups
God I love Lance Reddick. Why he doesn't get his own show, I'll never know.
He had a major starring role in Bosch on Amazon Prime for 7 years.
@@MrDefiant2 great show 👍
The first time ive heard of him was when i first played destiny
@@miningking5958 I first saw him in an episode of Law and Order back in the 90's. Episode about blood diamonds, iirc.
Was gonna say the same. Hes been on Bosch for 7 seasons, so probably pretty busy
That was a pretty good set up to lock Sheldon out of class.
Sheldon was so superior and smug when the professor locked out the other student on the first day of class. He needs a comeuppance a lot more than he ever gets it. Too many people would have let him in, especially after the university president asked him to go easy on Sheldon.
Damn, Lt. Daniels became even more of a hardass.
This reminds me of the time I was late 10 seconds for my CNA (Computer Network Architecture) exam and the prof. slammed the door in my face and told me "tough luck kid, you can take it next year". I studied 2 weeks non stop for that exam :)
Oh no! Did you take it the next year?
Hopefully your face is alright. If you suffered heavy injuries to the teeth then I would have filed a complaint against that prof... Tbh its one thing to lock a student out but to slam the door in their face seems excessive and uncalled for.
I figured it out! I figured out why the professor kept tearing it up. There’s no way he could be sure that Sheldon’s assignment was wrong with how quickly he tore it up. It was because he turned it in too EARLY! This guy is entirely about punctuation. Being too early is just as irritating to him as being too late!
That not it, it's because he forgot to more sire it could stand wind resistance
@@natashajagadhish1887 But it still doesn’t explain how the professor was able to tell that just by looking at a complicated formula for a bridge. And all the other times he barely looked at it so how did he know that the wind resistant thing wasn’t on there?
@@Bitsy83 because he’s obviously a master in his discipline and a quick glance is all he needs to determine it’s wrong, or maybe it’s done for plot purposes? You’re looking too deep into the logic of fictional characters
@@johnsoapmactavish9921 to be fair, it would take a glance to see if he didn't get the right answer, and another to see that wind resistance wasn't added. Every time he submits it after the first time, all the teacher needs to do is check if the answer is wrong and if he still made the same mistake.
@@Bitsy83 he's probably waiting for students to make such a mistake, like expecting it, so when he didn't see the wind part he immediately tore it
I love how he got angry because engineering was the first subject he wasn't immediately good at, unfortunately he didn't actually learn from it and continued to believe he was perfect.
In Engineering, that mindset will get people killed, glad he chose a different profession.
He was good at it though, the engineering professor didnt even look at his papers before ripping them. Refusing to help him improve at it certainly didn't help either.
The professor's expressions when he was showing the Dean how Sheldon's face fell
Being fair an asshole teacher will make you hate something you used to love
or they never really loved it....Had a college art teacher who hated me and i him....i learned alot from him reguardless....we hated eachothers politics but loved eachother color theory ideas,,,,,,,,had a coworker who i hated too and vice versa....loved talking mythology and religion....not politics he was a lazy racist progressive like my art teacher....both were white and offended for me
Yes, wind can be a issue.
The 1940's Tacoma Narrows Bridge is usually used as the Textbook Example for this.
Bruh what's sad is that ik there are teachers and principals like that out there choosing favorite and least liked student and honestly they need to be fired and exposed for having such a biased opinion on students
why?
This professor treatesd Sheldon like everyone else. Sure while nowhere near students he enjoyed mocking the kid, but it's in a private situation.
while in front of students he treated everyone the same.
"Coddling the boy won't prepare him for the real world." Never a truer word spoken about Sheldon. I know his parents loved him but they sheltered him too much, especially Mary. Which is why he grew up in be a big man child. At least until he met Leonard and his friends and Amy. They made him a more well adjusted adult.
So this is where LT Daniels started.😂😂😂😂
Also i loved this guy on Bosch!!! Such a great actor and a great show!!
Sheldon really was tolerable, despite how intelligent he was, others just were not fond of him much
My thoughts exactly.
I mean, despite how much everyone always complained about Sheldon, they all did awful things to him and hurt his feelings because they didn’t actually believe he had any feelings they could hurt and they weren’t called out as much or enough as they all called Sheldon out for how bad they thought and said he was.
He wasnt very tolerable
he was and still is a man Child that never learned how to filter what he says and does not understand empathy.
@Cpt. Vladimir Scorpius What happened is he hated them for his whole life because of this professor.
I think his intelligence went to his head and that he’s pretty arrogant and can use this life lesson as well as take some suggestions on how to get information across in a nice way sometimes. Tho, I can’t understate that the amount of flak you get for being as logical as Sheldon creating misunderstandings is played down
Engineering is harsh. Failure has immediate real world consequences.
It's really nice to see that more recent episodes show that Sheldon is in the wrong & there're characters not there to pamper him. More realistic.
Which begs the question - in the original series, why is he even worse than he was in Young Sheldon?
@@Historyandlegends7892 factors:
1. Sheldon leaving for college again I think
2. George Sr.'s death
i had professors like that.. but now im in charge, and theyre history
I cant stop hearing Zavala lol
Why did Georgie back off on the calling the teacher's bs of thinking that pointing Sheldon in the right direction and giving him the answer was the same thing so quickly?
"Why don't you point him in the right direction?"
"You mean give him the answer?"
"No, no" _calling him out on his BS of thinking that those are the same thing, nice_
"Will you?" Georgie what are you doing?!
And then afterwards it somehow gets to Georgie's head that pointing him in the right direction and giving him the answer are the same thing even though he knew before hand that it isn't
Dude… I went to Texas Tech University, studied Computer Engineering, and we had an ex-military professor who was just like this guy. Looked like him too. Makes me wonder if it’s roughly based off him or just coincidence.
That scene between his teacher and the university head is one of the best of the series.
Giving a direction isn't the same as giving the answer.
Giving a direction is more of a hint where one goes wrong or pointing out an oversight.
Not giving them anything too work out on, isn't teaching it's lazy. You are too teach the students the fundamentals too future advance themselves.
So, instead of giving Sheldon quicksand, he should be give Sheldon a rock foundation.
If I had that professor I would really hate him
The way he said "bye" to Howard 💀
RIP to Lance Reddick (Teacher and Hotel Manager from John Wick movies). He was an excellent choice for this character.
So he didnt take vibration tolerance into account while designing a bridge?
the teacher is also the boss in destiny 2 haha what a guy
Zavala
@@lowkey_ypree1277 yeh i had a brain fart and couldnt remember lol
I find it interesting that a good engineer would've been able fix that elevator within the first couple of episodes of season 1...if not episode 1.
You mean an elevator Mechanic.And its not their building.
@@sharpe227 Never the less. The elevator would be fixed with engineering not theoretical physics.
I remember Howard examined the elevator in one episode and declared that it was indeed broken.
@@andrewscott7728 yeah, all he did was press the button once lol
accounting for it being blown up, I think nothing short of rebuilding it would do much to repair it
Lance Reddick and Wendy Malick is a combo I didn't know I needed in my life.
That professor shouldn't be an engineering teacher, he should've teach "Business Management"
Or Assassination
@@AcidiFy574 lol
Business management is a joke of a program. Engineering generally teaches better work ethic and discipline, but also teaches you difficult content.
Business management is just a degree for the piece of paper, you don’t learn discipline, difficult content, or time management.
It is nice to work with you mr sheldon
I don't even get why the engineering professor disliked sheldon so much, he got treated with respect and admiration
Because Sheldon was smug and arrogant. Professors like students who are confident, but there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and Sheldon often crossed it. He also handed in a paper that was wrong and wouldn't admit he had made a mistake at first. Not just that, but he wanted the answer to be given to him instead of working for it even though he was more than capable of doing it.
@@floraflowers Giving guidance is not the same as giving the answer
@@pezpeculiar9557I've seen you say this on several replies so I'm curious how you would guide him without giving him the answer. Cause in this case, guiding him would be giving him the answer
@@gerstein03tell him he is missing a part of the work, or tell him he forgot to factor in something. Anything that wasn't "you did it wrong" would have been helpful really.
@@gerstein03How about simply saying "while your calculations are mathematically correct, this design can never work in the real world, can you figure out why?", or "are you sure you're taking all the real world variables into account?". How is that giving away the answer?
Normally, I root against Sheldon as a kid. But in this case, That engineering teacher would be the 1st I would show my Nobel Prize to...And proceed to 'Cuss' his pompous ass out!
My dad was an engineer I understand his hatred for the field.
It’s the little things in life that can make a person smile.
Hearing Howards voice made me miss Big Bang Theory 😢
Then the professor & principal closed the door!
he made fun of Howard being an engineer too haha
I don't understand, he didn't even look at the papers he submitted.
The problem with the figure it out yourself idea is it decredits all value of school.
I can learn it myself, or I can go have somebody teach me at school.
That's exactly the point that most people who defend Howard seem to logically miss. If you expect someone to teach everything themselves, then there really is no purpose in having them require to go to college or have any kind of schooling institution because first of all, they can go to the internet and gain access to other resources and two, they simply go to a nearby college just to ask a professor or ta for help during available office hours whenever you need help without even enrolling in college.
@@evanurena8868 hate this thing in universities
@@evanurena8868 to be fair this was an important class project and Sheldon was asking for the answer
presumably if he didn't get it wrong he would have been given the answer after the test was marked
and if he asked other questions that weren't essentially 'okay so what's the answer' he would have been given help.
Sheldon was already being given assistance by being told that he was wrong and he had time to correct it.
Sheldon has every right to hate engineering after this because he spent a hard and long time on this project only for it to be impossible for him to turn it in. It was a huge waste of his time
Zavala left the last city and became a school teacher that way he can lecture people for a living.
The fact that the prof tears the succeeding papers without even reviewing destroys the credibility of the prof., It doesn't make sense. How would he know if sheldon already or did not include the external forces such as wind without even looking...
Charon retired from The Continental to teach in a University. 😂
Omg lieutenant daniels… did not expect to find him here!! And displaying the same method for late students as my prof did. Cool
So that's what happened to the concierge at the Continental in John Wick.
They got the resonance idea wrong, wind can trigger resonance yes but the external forcing on the structure needs to be really perfect to hit that peak eigenfrequency. This is relatively unlikely for any system. In fact I know of no known cases except experiment when it is induced like in the breaking a wine glass with sound experiment.
However what I have heard of occurring with real structures like the Tacoma Narrows bridge in Washington state USA is a fluid structure interaction like aeroelastic flutter. This occurs above some critical velocity so just requires high winds above that critical velocity that are sustained, or in its more standard use case sets the flight envelope for airplanes.
All I can hear is Eda from the Owl House
"I'll admit, at first I had a chip on my shoulder because of that class. But then it was mostly you." 😁
3:27
Engineers talking about the look that will be on welder’s face when we see a impossible to get to weld on a blueprint or when a part doesn’t fit right
Lance is amazing, all I can hear is Zavala when he talks though, brilliant actor none the less.
This makes me want more Big Bang Theory
Tbh, after this show is complete, I'm gonna rewatch Big Bang Theory all over again. 💯
Don't
@@teentitans0 It is worth the rewatch, and I’m really sad that there are so many questions that remain unanswered: What is Penny’s Last Name, Will Sheldon and Amy have kids, will Leonard and Penny have a boy, girl, or twins? Sadly, we’ll never know
@@teentitans0 I just rewatched it, twice, the first time about 6 months ago, and then I just finished it about a few days ago for the second time.
I would not recommend it because once I watch the last episode I get a little life crisis and there is no show you can watch to fill that void.
ps: I did start watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" for the first time ever after resisting for many years because I thought I wouldn't like it, but so far I am laughing my ass off
@@carsenmaxwell3336 Yes, sheldon and Amy will have a son named Leonard ( named after Leonard Nimoy) it was narated from prior season with Amy😂
Lance's voice is good, and the facial replay, double win.
Sheldon never accounted for the wind.
The Professor seems like he wishes he was Levar Burton 🤔
When any strong person loose everyone loves it, but don't understand his hard work pays to be as becoming strong person
I like how he is telling this story to Howard and he is just done like howard didn't know it was going to be something as pity as that 😂😂
RIP Legend
Just remember, college instructors and that dean won’t really do this. If that student is brilliant, it’s making them money. Last thing they need is to lose a free money source.
I haven't watched the show but the lady who shows up at 2:55 is most certainly voice actress for Beatrice Horseman. I would recognize that voice anywhere.
Wendy Malick... She did some great work on HBO's Dream On
