"What would be the difference between that and the relationship with his guy friends?" Raj doesn't live with his guy friends. And at this point he can't -- they all have partners, he'd just be the third wheel. We saw that recently with the gaming weekend -- all of his friends' relationships ended up impeding their weekend together, just highlighting how alone Raj is and how he can't rely on their friendship to fulfill his needs. A wife, even one he doesn't love, would share the house with him, they could go on dates just the two of them and have fun, and no one would look at them weird.
As I was passing through the channels some years ago, I stumbled upon this very scene with the Spock doll talking to Sheldon. From this point I was a forever BBT fan. The way they had that Spock doll change positions each time it was talking had me on the floor. Never heard of the show before that
My mom never loved my stepdad and had a happier more fulfilling life with him for 20+ years than she ever could of much less did with my real dad, now she misses him and loves his memory and blames herself for ruining his life because she could never open herself up to loving him while he was alive, they traveled the world together, lived together, raised a kid together, made millions together. My mom loved my real dad, all she got was cheated on, left for a girl young enough to be his daughter, and in fact was his daughter legally for a brief period so they could screw her out of child support payments and the government out of tax $ while she was divorcing her first husband.
Yes, that was Leonard Nimoy voicing the toy! He’s uncredited which is why it’s hard to catch on at first watch. If you Google the episode you’ll find a behind the scenes picture of Jim (Sheldon) and Leonard doing the famous Spock hand signature
kaley cuoco is the one convinced nimoy to the voice - at first they wanted him to go a cameo and he refuse - then asked him to do only the voice he refused - then kaley talked him into doing the voice - kaley actually knew nimoy before the show -
@@rigpa10 I think he actually agreed to the voice cameo if he wasn’t credited but I didn’t know that Kaley convinced him beforehand! Interesting! Thanks for sharing
I wish they’d included a closing scene of the actual live Spock showing up for revenge to maybe do a Vulcan nerve pressure trick, miniturizing Sheldon and then throwing Sheldon as a Sheldon nightmare type scene
nimoy did not want to do a live cameo - kaley cuoco is the one who convinced him to the voice - and he agreed to do that - people do not realized how much influenced kaley had on the show - they are to busy worshipping jim parsons - kaley and johnny would talk to audience after every episode - jim would just run to his dressing room -
Nothing wrong with a "feminine" man. If Raj didn't act so creepy at times I think more girls wouldn't mind his more feminine traits. There's a comic I saw similar to this but its about two Asexual who marry each other due to societal pressures.
Oh come ON. He's so obviously gay. He admitted that he enjoyed sleeping naked with his friends at the north pole and he made out with Howard twice. He's more than just feminine, he's practically a gay stereotype. Women don't like him because Raj keeps pretending to be something he's not.
I love Sheldon's "interrupting physicist" joke because it's a play on the original: Knock, knock! Who's there? Interrupting cow. Interru-- MOOO!!! Replacing the "moo" with "muon" is multiple levels to a joke. lol
I have a Star Trek The Next Generation transporter that uses light and mirror effects to make the figures "disappear". I once showed it to my niece and when I made Captain Jack Sparrow disappear she gasped and said "Magic!"
Also, I hate how Raj strawmans Howard by calling him homophobic when all he said was that he doesn't support the idea of getting married in order to stay closeted out of shame.
I'll be taking a wild guess: Leonard Nimoy agreed to a cameo, but only under the condition that it's just a voice performance, so they created the entire story with the toy (the toy story if you will, hahahaha... sorry, couldn't resist 😄) basically as a compromise to adjust to that... Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Still fun, though 😂
Eps like this kill me. Being a 70's kid I had so many of these toys, now collectibles. I had to give them all away moving countries. They would be worth a fortune now. Even a Space 1999 'phaser' and autographed poster by David Prowse against a plain backdrop because they didn't have merch yet, and teh IOU Star Wars action figure foldout. Along with a bunch of first run comics handed down from a grandparent... oh and the Battle Star Galactica Viper and Cylon Raider that actually shot out plastic bullets.. before the recall. A T-shirt with a my pic pritned in ASCII from the first ever digital Camera prototype (in the 70's). Just for starters..
Typically the child has final say in the arrangement, searching starts around puberty, giving plenty of time to get to know each other and make sure you are compatible, and the engagement period will last years.
Hey Eric. I was wondering if you could do a movie reaction on Anastasia. It’s another Don Bluth film that is a fantastical retelling of the Grand Ducheaa Anastasia who was rumored to have survived the massacre of the Romanov family during the revolution. It is also one of several animated films that were made to replicate the success of the Disney animated films that were released during the Disney Renaissance era from 1989-1999 You could also do reactions on the Disney’s The Owl House if you haven’t seen it yet. It’s already available on Disney+ and a few episodes are free to watch on RUclips
Wait a sec! A knock off to break? Did you actually see the toy was broken? I didn't! I heard a sound effect that indicated it was broken. And it wasn't always shoddy craftsmanship that was a problem but the materials. A lot of things - not just toys - are made with plastic that becomes brittle as it ages. What I found interesting was Raj. I'm a little bit like him. Not to the same extent. I am not gay!
The middle knob spins the transporter, the red stops it with the figure facing out (like he appeared), the green stops it with the figure held in the back (as if he disappeared).
A guy can be feminine while still into woman. Even some girls who act tomboyish are still into man. How one acts doesn’t have much to do with either gender they’re into.
Oh, yeah, that's why he fantasizes about *women*. There are plenty of guys who are into things society categorizes as feminine, but still are very much sexually and emotionally attracted to women.
@@ghostspider2056 It's not because he's feminine, it's because he clearly shows sexual interest in men. He even outright admitted that he enjoyed sleeping naked with his friends at the north pole while the others were ashamed of it. He also made out with Howard twice and he admitted that he'd be okay with dating a man if he couldn't find a woman. Also, while a guy can be feminine, Raj's behavior is literally that of a gay stereotype.
@@Nikki-oe7gr You mean like when he fantasizes about incredibly gay musical numbers with a woman who outright says later that he's gay? Also, this isn't about being feminine, but the fact that he obviously shows romantic and sexual interest in men. Why else do you think he said he enjoyed sleeping naked with his friends at the north pole? Or why Beverly, a renowned psychologist, suggested that such an extreme case of selective mutism is a hint of a repressed homosexual subconscious? Or the fact that he feels the need to desperately yell out loud "I'm not gay!", something a str8 man would never do? Or all the countless Freudian slips? Or the fact that he doesn't act like a mere effeminate man, but a homosexual stereotype? It's obvious that his attempts to get women stem from an enormous social pressure from his very conservative native culture rather than genuine attraction..
by the way.. a Yorkshire terrier is not REALLY a DOG ! .. more like 1 pound of soup meat. A Dachshund on the other hand is not much bigger but a REAL dog .

While i don't think i could go through with marrying someone i didn't love, i understand just not wanting to end up alone
I would rather be single than live a lie.

Cinnemon will be in future episodes. :-) She's a fun prop for several stories that are some of my favorites.

The transporter is not "mint in box." If it were, the transporter "beams" would have been stickers you'd have to apply yourself.

The thing that’s wrong with feminine men, is they never get laid and other guys hate them.
I'm verry mich a feminine man and evryone allways thinks I'm gay and my nick name in college was Raj because I was just like him apparently
I love Sheldon's "interrupting physicist" joke because it's a play on the original:
Knock, knock!
Who's there?
Interrupting cow.
Interru--
MOOO!!!
Replacing the "moo" with "muon" is multiple levels to a joke. lol
Penny's quote about virginity "taking it out and playing with it" is pretty brilliant. lol
I have a Star Trek The Next Generation transporter that uses light and mirror effects to make the figures "disappear". I once showed it to my niece and when I made Captain Jack Sparrow disappear she gasped and said "Magic!"
One thing you have to remember those that these toys came out probably when Sheldon was a little so it was obviously faulty
Also, I hate how Raj strawmans Howard by calling him homophobic when all he said was that he doesn't support the idea of getting married in order to stay closeted out of shame.

You always go to the barber after watching an episode. 😆
Did you change your camera? Nice
I'VE NEVER TOOK MY FUNKO POP'S. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Just when I got used to big bang theory on a Wednesday 😂
One of my favourite episodes

The one and only Leonard Nimoy!

EVEN RAJ'S PARENTS THINK HE'S GAY!!!!!💋💋
I wonder what the green button is for?
The middle knob spins the transporter, the red stops it with the figure facing out (like he appeared), the green stops it with the figure held in the back (as if he disappeared).
THE VERY FINALÉ OF SERIES SHOULDVE BEEN RAJ GETTING MARRIED (WOMAN OR MAN) IN INDIA!!! IT WOULD'VE BEEN AN EPIC INDIAN WEDDING AND ALL ATTENDED.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Tiny Spock 🖖
Maybe the label maker in this episode is a reference to the Seinfeld Episode "The Label Maker," guest starring Bryan Cranston.
I don't buy Raj's "metrosexual" claim. He's clearly gay. He just hasn't realized it.
Too bad that theory never goes anywhere
