00:00 You are my heart, my universe.
00:04 Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the plot points on The
00:09 Big Bang Theory that we need to double check weren't just a fever dream.
00:13 Do you like it?
00:14 Do I like it?
00:17 Wow!
00:19 Number 10.
00:20 Sheldon hangs out with James Earl Jones, the convention conundrum.
00:25 When The Big Bang Theory enlisted James Earl Jones for a guest appearance, the audience
00:29 and Sheldon got more than they bargained for.
00:32 Sheldon approaches the actor when he tries to launch his own comic con, but soon learns
00:37 that the voice of Darth Vader has a quirky side.
00:39 Hey Los Angeles!
00:40 I'm on a ferris wheel with Darth Vader, and he's nicer than you think!
00:50 The duo ends up spending a boisterous evening together that involves a Q&A over a banana
00:55 split, riding a ferris wheel, and singing karaoke.
01:12 Let's not forget they also play a round of Ding Dong Ditch on Carrie Fisher.
01:15 Seeing Sheldon pushed so far out of his comfort zone is nothing short of hilarious.
01:21 Whoever booked James Earl Jones for this guest spot certainly got their money's worth.
01:35 Number 9.
01:36 Sheldon and Amy vs. the Fermilab physicists.
01:39 There he is.
01:41 In season 12, Sheldon and Amy's shot at winning a Nobel Prize feels just within reach.
01:46 But then the writers toss in one more hurdle.
01:49 They face off against two scientists who accidentally proved their theory, thrusting them into the
01:54 running too.
01:56 Understandably, our Nobel hopefuls grow frustrated as the clueless Fermilab physicists steal
02:12 their spotlight, and eventually, Amy lets rip.
02:25 Things get even more unhinged when they discover one of the scientists is a notorious plagiarizer.
02:31 While they decide not to expose him, his colleague has other plans.
02:41 Still, by the time that the Fermilab guys are out of the picture, we're left scratching
02:49 our heads thinking, "Did that actually happen?"
02:52 Number 8.
02:53 Josh Wolowitz - The Fortification Implementation.
02:57 The trope of a long-lost family member showing up unannounced always serves up some grade
03:02 A drama.
03:03 Indeed, that's exactly what happens when a young man claiming to be Howard's half-brother
03:07 turns up at his and Bernadette's door.
03:18 Howard is initially freaked out, but as the evening unfolds, they find some common ground
03:23 and even start bonding.
03:24 You might think this is the beginning of a great brotherly relationship, right?
03:28 Well, you'd be wrong.
03:31 After this episode, Josh vanishes without a trace, and Howard never mentions him again.
03:36 Meanwhile, audiences are left wondering, "Why drop such a bombshell storyline only to leave
03:51 it hanging forever?"
04:01 Number 7.
04:02 Howard Goes to Space - Varius.
04:05 When Howard announced NASA picked him as a payload specialist for a mission to the International
04:10 Space Station, we all went, "Huh?"
04:21 Have you met Howard Wolowitz?
04:22 Not exactly your typical astronaut material, is he?
04:26 Plus, he barely survived the training.
04:29 What did he expect the real deal to be like?
04:42 Speaking of training, regular astronauts invest years for these missions, but Howard?
04:48 He gets a quick crash course.
04:50 Real NASA astronaut Mike Massimino was apparently impressed by the accuracy of the space station
04:55 yet, but that's pretty much where the realism taps out.
04:58 Don't get us wrong, it's a fun ride, but the writers basically went off the earthly
05:03 map with this one.
05:14 Number 6.
05:15 Penny Wakes Up Next to Raj - The Roommate Transmogrification and the Skank Reflex Analysis.
05:21 After a few drinks, Penny confesses to Raj that she regrets breaking up with Leonard.
05:34 But he's moved on, so what can she do?
05:37 Well, she ends up spending the night with her buddy, throwing us all for a loop.
05:50 We were just as surprised as she was waking up next to Raj, and she doesn't even get
05:54 the chance to sneak out before the whole gang finds out.
05:58 The next episode is a full-on cringe-fest, as Penny grapples with the aftermath of the
06:03 night before.
06:04 Just as we thought this story couldn't have any more twists, Raj makes one more revelation
06:09 that suggests all of Penny's fretting may have been a tad premature.
06:23 Number 5.
06:24 Howard's Creepy Antics - Varius Before Penny introduced him to Bernadette,
06:29 Howard made some seriously questionable moves.
06:32 Remember the disturbingly extreme lengths he took to find the top model house?
06:45 How about the time Penny promises to introduce him to her friends if he keeps Leonard out
06:49 of the apartment before his birthday party?
06:52 So what does he do?
06:53 Eat a granola bar containing peanuts despite being super allergic.
07:03 And who could forget the time he used his engineering skills for personal perks?
07:17 Talk about nuts.
07:18 Penny's ultimately the one who knocks some sense into him, but we have to wonder what
07:22 was going on in the writer's room when these storylines unfolded.
07:26 Number 4.
07:28 How Leonard and Sheldon Became Roomies - The Staircase Implementation
07:32 If you were in Leonard's shoes, at which point would you have turned and run?
07:36 When Sheldon's last roommate warned you to "run away, dude"?
07:44 When you saw chilling graffiti on the bedroom wall?
07:47 Or perhaps when your new roomie hands you a novel-length roommate agreement?
07:51 Despite a sea of red flags, Leonard goes ahead and signs.
07:55 Things take a weird turn when Leonard reveals that Sheldon's complete and utter lack of
07:59 social skills actually saves him from potentially serving time.
08:08 Plus, the tale of this "out of use" elevator adds another layer to this unpredictable
08:20 origin story.
08:21 But hey, it all marks the beginning of a weird, wacky, and yes, beautiful friendship.
08:33 Number 3.
08:34 The Guys Enjoy Some Special Cookies - The Adhesive Duct Deficiency
08:39 Leonard, Howard, and Raj venture into the desert for the Leonid meteor shower, but a
08:44 batch of special cookies throws their cosmic plans off orbit.
08:48 The idea of a moving planet becomes too much in their desert delirium, but that's nothing
08:52 an astrophysicist can't solve, apparently.
09:02 Soon the meteors are forgotten, and the guys spill their innermost thoughts, from name
09:07 complaints to dreams of rabbit diplomacy and cringeworthy family reunion tales best left
09:13 buried in the sand.
09:21 Then the munchies kick in, and thanks to Mrs. Wolowitz, they're saved!
09:25 They might miss the meteor shower, but they're shower audiences with stellar hilarity and
09:30 wild antics.
09:36 Number 2.
09:37 Howard and Sheldon's Park Spot Fight - The Parking Spot Escalation
09:42 The friends have had their share of chaotic feuds throughout the series.
09:46 Remember Sheldon and Penny's clash in season 2?
09:54 And who could forget Sheldon's revenge bed and breakfast after his spat with Leonard
09:58 in season 10?
09:59 But we really had to buckle up for the showdown between Howard and Sheldon over a parking
10:04 spot.
10:05 When Sheldon fails to understand why his spot was reassigned to someone who actually drives,
10:11 he and Howard end up embroiled in a fierce clash.
10:25 Both try to one-up each other, and at some points, revenge is dished in the buff.
10:29 The ladies aren't spared either - it may spiral frantically out of hand, but it's
10:34 pure comedy gold.
10:41 Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:46 Amy schemes to make Sheldon love her - the launch acceleration.
10:50 Real world love spell vibes.
10:51 But seriously, shouldn't Sheldon have a say?
11:02 Penny's married?
11:07 The Thanksgiving decoupling.
11:09 It's Thanksgiving, but Zach's getting served more than a turkey dinner.
11:23 Penny pretends she's still dating Leonard to impress her dad - the boyfriend complexity
11:27 - as if their relationship wasn't weird and complicated enough.
11:42 The wedding present scavenger hunt.
11:44 The wedding gift wormhole.
11:45 Sheldon and Amy go off the rails, unraveling their mystery wedding present.
11:54 Howard absorbs estrogen.
12:03 The deception verification.
12:05 We see a whole new side of Howard, and it leads to some pretty strange moments.

12:38 Dr. Lorvis traps the guys in his basement.
12:42 The misinterpretation agitation.
12:43 Didn't the guys' parents ever teach them about stranger danger?
12:48 Apparently not.
12:49 Leonard gets uneasy meeting one of Penny's admirers, but soon enough, he wins everyone
12:54 over with gross celeb memorabilia.
13:08 He lures them to his basement with promises of cool stuff.
13:12 And they're like kids in a candy store, until they realize they're locked in.
13:25 Meanwhile, where's Dr. Lorvis?
13:28 He's heading back to the apartment to shoot his shot with Penny.
13:32 That is, until he meets Amy.
13:34 This episode is practically a red flag parade, leaving us slightly in disbelief that it even
13:39 exists.
13:40 Every moment, a new layer of unhingedness seems to unfold.
13:44 And it's beyond wild.
13:54 Which The Big Bang Theory moment do you think is so nuts that you're still waiting for
13:58 the bazinga?
