These people have got to get bigger beds!
Loved the Klingon/Ubbi Dubbi subtitles. “Eating cake on the toilet” single. All in all not a bad episode. Sheldon is turning into a real boy before our eyes.
Looks like Penny bought a somewhat bigger bed for Leonard’s redesigned bedroom. It’s Sheldon and Amy who really need a king-size, though, so Sheldon can stretch out.
So Sheldon has been compared to a praying mantis, C3PO, and Peewee Herman. Now someone says he resembles Jack Skellington. Good one!
My sentiments, exactly! I don’t mind the “quirky relationship stuff”, but I prefer the nerdiness!
Forgot to add: Penny’s redesign of the bedroom sucks donkey balls. We took one look at it and the wife turned and promised that she would never, ever think of doing something like that to our bedroom.
What Sheldon dreamed they did to his bedroom intrigued her, however. :eek:
Oh, I didn’t like this side of Penny at all!
This time I recalled. I expected this response 
Great scene because there’s something for everyone.
In Sheldon’s mind it might have had a little bit more of a pulp sci-fi look or something else he’d scene outside of the world of blatant erotica or porn. He’s also been exposed to pornography of various types from the other guys, and may have even done some of his own research from an intellectual standpoint. I’d have like to see Penny in a gold bikini like the Star Wars scene but that Sheldon may have approved of that. I don’t see Sheldon as being almost asexual, I had thought he was more like someone who avoids distraction on what he considers base emotions of weak-minded humans. But we recently learned about his witnessing his father’s infidelity and we’ve seen that he’s uncomfortable with his mother’s own sexuality, and she’s probably given him mixed messages about sexuality, although she hasn’t shown herself as overly prudish despite her fundamental Christianity.
I also love Sheldon’s indecision in the hallway, and Amy talking to him about SCIENCE and then, guess what? He made his choice. I don’t even think he realized it.
When my ex moved in with me, she immediately redid the apartment the first time I was away for several days. All my stuff was packed away, and she put a doggie sticker on the fax machine. :mad:
It reminded me of what Peg did to Al’s bathroom in Married With Children.
Who knows where he picked up on sex dungeon but Sheldon has used the phrase before. From last year’s episode guest starring Richard Feynman’s van:
Scene: The van.
Sheldon: It’s bad enough I’m being taken against my will. I don’t see why it has to be in some hippie’s mobile sex dungeon.
Howard: Well, Sheldon, there’s something about this van that you’re going to find very interesting.
Sheldon: It runs on syphilis?
Raj: This van was owned and driven by your personal physics hero, Richard Feynman.
They were speaking Gibberish which is a language every girl in my neighborhood spoke when I was growing up.
Amy says specifically that she taught Penny how to speak Ubbi-Dubbi. Amy presumably learned it as a child. At some point since Amy met Penny, she decided to teach it to Penny so that they could speak it if they needed to hide something from the guys while they were with them. (Remember, Amy considers Penny to be her bestie.) It’s really not hard to learn it well enough that you can keep anyone from understanding a minute or so of conversation in it. Any long conversation in Ubbi-Dubbi risks having the people who you’re trying to keep from understanding the conversation begin to figure out how Ubbi-Dubbi works.
Wasn’t that, like, just last week or the week before? :dubious: 
What? Amy first met Penny on the first episode of the fourth season (broadcast on September 23, 2010). Later on that same season, she makes it clear to Penny and Bernadette that she considers them to be her best friends. For instance, on the thirteenth episode of that season (broadcast January 20, 2011), she says that explicitly. She explicitly calls Penny her bestie on one episode of the show (although I can’t figure out which one). Or are you asking some other question?
The kid’s show was called “ZOOM;” the language was called “Ubbi Dubbi.” Kayley Cuoco was born seven years after it went off the air; Mayim Bialik, two years before its final episode.
I found that part quite touching.
Me too. You find someone who recognizes your references to Buridan’s ass, you hold on to her!
I saw the episode in which Amy offers to teach Penny her secret language fairly recently. I believe she had just invited her to stay at her place for a while. If this was a new episode as opposed to a rerun, I’d say it was just a week or two ago.
If it was a rerun, I can’t say which episode of which season it was.
I think you mean this episode from 2011 The Skank Reflex Analysis | The Big Bang Theory Wiki | Fandom
“Penny asks Amy if she can sleep at her apartment for a while and Amy delightfully welcomes her, exclaiming about how she can finally experience a traditional girls’ sleepover.”
"Amy has a secret language, which she dubs “Op.” In the language she spells out every word (except for the first in a sentence) and adds ‘op’ to the end of each consonant. For example, instead of “sounds great,” it’s “sounds gop rop e a top!” It is probably a tribute to Pig Latin. "
