Quotes

Sheldon: You know, this situation with Koothrappali brings to mind a story from my childhood.
Howard: Oh, goody, more tales from the Panhandle.
Sheldon: That's Northwest Texas. I'm from East Texas, the Gulf region. Home to many Vietnamese shrimpers.
Leonard: Do the shrimpers feature in your story?
Sheldon: No. Anyway, when I was eight, a Montgomery Ward delivery van ran over our family cat, Lucky.
Howard: Lucky?
Sheldon: Yes, Lucky.
Leonard: He's irony-impaired. Just move on.
Howard: Ok, dead cat named Lucky. Continue.

(Sheldon smiles in a grotesque way).
Howard: Oh...... crap that's terrifying.

I think that this episode is hilarous espicially when Penny figures out why Sheld, Lenard and Howard have not been talking to him. Funny line: " W're here to see Koothrappali, not kill Batman!'

I loved this show and this episode but the laugh track has to go...it is very annoying. Please stop using it.

What superhero did the symbol on Sheldon's red t-shirt represent?

Penny going out with Koothrappali was not as funny as I'd hoped. I love this show, my super brainiac hubby loves this show. So we can deal with a not so funny show now and again. I thought Penny and Leonard were full of comedic hormonal potential. I think Koothrappali is a very minor character, he just doesn't have the cultural ability to be that funny, he is mostly sad seeming, and very time consuming, I'd much rather see an exchange between Sheldon and anybody , than Kooth and anybody.
