00:00 Do you feel special?
00:01 At least I'm the only daughter. You got nothing.
00:04 Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the times the Coopers' only daughter brought the heat like a pot of
00:13 Texas chili on a summer's day. If you're not yet caught up, beware of spoilers ahead.
00:18 You know what I like about you, Sheldon? You're incredibly smart, but you're also really dumb.
00:23 Number 10. Nobody Cares.
00:27 Sheldon isn't a fan of change or spontaneity.
00:30 When Mary unexpectedly declares they're staying at Meemaw's for the night,
00:34 he bombards her with questions, totally oblivious to her frazzled state. But don't worry, Missy's got it.
00:41 You know what? I'll bring both.
00:43 Should I pack my toothbrush or use the one I keep at Meemaw's?
00:48 I got this one.
00:50 Nobody cares.
00:51 Evidently not satisfied with roasting just one brother, Missy takes Georgie down, too.
00:56 Who says that Sheldon's the only family genius?
00:59 After telling Georgie she forgot to deliver a message a girl left him months ago,
01:03 she knows she can play him like a fiddle. And she does.
01:07 Hello, Georgie speaking. Did you answer the phone? Do you feel stupid?
01:11 Who was it?
01:16 Nobody. Young Sheldon fans know that almost nothing will stop Missy from burning her brothers,
01:22 not even in alternate reality or the end of the world.
01:25 And I just want to say I'm sorry for everything that was bad and any time I was mean to Sheldon.
01:30 It's okay.
01:32 It's just so funny when he's upset.
01:34 Number nine, calling it as she sees it. We all know high school politics is basically just a popularity contest.
01:41 Mary tries to spare Sheldon from this hard truth, but don't worry,
01:45 Missy, as always, is happy to help. Guess what? I'm running for class president.
01:50 Good for you.
01:52 You're encouraging him? He's gonna get destroyed. You don't know that.
01:57 I feel like I do. When Sheldon announces he's running for class president,
02:01 she doesn't miss a beat betting against him. Do you have a campaign strategy? No. Do you have a catchy slogan?
02:08 No. Does he have a shot at winning? No. Mary tries to be more encouraging, but deep down,
02:15 she knows Missy's right, even if she doesn't want to admit it. Ever the straight shooter, Missy finds a
02:21 hilariously blunt way to remind her mom that honesty is the best policy. What you think I'll win, right?
02:27 God's listening, mom. She also encourages Sheldon to get his hands dirty to win the election.
02:34 Missy would have made a great campaign manager. She gets politics.
02:39 Number eight, she's delighted Sheldon's going to high school. The series wastes no time
02:45 introducing us to the sassiest member of the Cooper family.
02:49 Sheldon, if you don't get in here, I'm gonna lick your toothbrush.
02:52 Coming!
02:53 That's my sister, and she's done it before. In the pilot, Sheldon prepares for his first day of high school,
02:59 and no one could be happier than his twin sister. Is she excited to see her brother expand his horizons, reach his full potential?
03:06 Nope. She's just ecstatic that she doesn't have to go to school with him anymore.
03:11 All I know is he's not in the same grade as me anymore, and I'm thrilled. Good luck with your finger painting.
03:16 You're gonna get your ass kicked in high school. Hey, language. You know what's even better?
03:21 She knows exactly what lies ahead for their big brother Georgie, and she couldn't be more entertained by the thought.
03:27 Luckily, George Sr. is around to restore the peace. Oh no, he's on Missy's side. Well, can you blame him?
03:34 Everybody's gonna know he's your brother. It's gonna be awful for you.
03:38 Tell her to shut up.
03:40 She's not wrong.
03:43 Number seven. She will sneeze in your mittens.
03:46 Sheldon gets so engrossed by science that he pays no regard to those around him.
03:51 Well, more so than usual. Set of electricity will have magnetricity.
03:57 It's getting heavy.
03:59 We'll be right over here if you need us. Let's go.
04:02 Bye, ladybug. While Missy's willing to say goodbye to her ladybug drawing in exchange for some dinner,
04:08 the one thing she won't compromise on is her sleep, and she knows just the way to shut Sheldon up.
04:15 Wake me up one more time, and I will sneeze in your mittens.
04:18 A big, wet, snotty one.
04:20 Okay, so most of us don't go through life with a pair of mittens we use to avoid physical interaction,
04:27 but if we did, we'd probably rather sleep on the porch than risk waking her up again. As we learn later in the episode,
04:35 whether it's with her actions or words, Missy always hits her target.
04:39 You ever thrown a ball before?
04:41 Just rocked at Sheldon.
04:43 You hit him?
04:44 Every time.
04:45 So we got something to work with.
04:47 Number six. I don't have a donkey, but if I did...
04:50 Sheldon might have a higher IQ than all the Coopers put together,
04:55 but Missy knows other ways to outsmart her family. In this episode,
04:59 she uses witty wordplay to get under her mother's skin.
05:03 I'm not allowed to talk about him?
05:05 I know what you're doing.
05:07 Okay, I just feel bad for my friend.
05:09 That poor son of a bitch.
05:11 Melissa Cooper!
05:13 Hey, we were teenagers once. We get the thrill of bending the rules.
05:17 Unfortunately, Mary doesn't exactly feel the same way. Does that deter Missy? Not even a little.
05:24 She ups the auntie by using the Bible to mock her mother.
05:28 And the man increased exceedingly and had much cattle and maidservants and menservants and camels and asses.
05:36 Okay, stop.
05:37 What? I'm just reading from Genesis.
05:39 We don't know what's more savage, using the Bible to mess with her mom or the fact that she's dishonoring her God-fearing mother.
05:45 But with one final quip, Missy wins the title of Queen of capital S-A-S-S.
05:52 That is it. You are grounded.
05:54 For reading the Bible?
05:55 The way you are doing it, yes. Go to your room.
05:57 Okay.
05:58 I don't have donkey. But if I did, I'd take my ass out of here.
06:02 Number five, offering advice on friend making.
06:05 Mary worries that Sheldon has no friends in high school and asks Georgie to take him under his wing.
06:11 Not that we think Georgie would have entertained the idea for even a second anyway, but Missy's input abruptly ends that conversation.
06:19 Tomorrow at lunch, would you mind sitting with your brother?
06:22 Don't do it, Georgie.
06:23 Stay out of this.
06:25 I ate with him in second grade. It really hurt my social life.
06:28 Sorry, mom. Can't do it.
06:31 That doesn't mean she doesn't want to help.
06:33 While Sheldon's reading up on how to make friends, she offers him a more practical use of the book, albeit one that screams stranger danger.
06:42 Missy more than makes up for her brother's lack of street smarts, all while dropping in as many insults as possible.
06:48 It's a list of losers like you who can't find a friend.
06:51 So?
06:52 So they're desperate and you have their names.
06:55 That's brilliant.
06:58 She might not be good at math, but she solves Sheldon's problem pretty fast.
07:04 I don't need to be good at math. I have beautiful hair.
07:07 Number 4. The Whole Fridge Fiasco
07:10 Missy Cooper is a mistress of chaos.
07:13 She sees the embers of trouble and wastes no time fanning them.
07:17 Sheldon drives his family nuts over a sound no one except he and Missy can hear.
07:22 Oh, wait.
07:23 Wait, I think I hear it.
07:26 You do?
07:26 Yeah.
07:27 It's coming out of your face.
07:29 But if she couldn't hear it before, Sheldon gives her a private nighttime concert as he hums along while she's trying to sleep.
07:36 Missy mischievously tries to seize the opportunity to encourage Sheldon to take the fridge apart, fully aware of the trouble it will unleash.
07:45 What are you doing?
07:46 I'm going to take apart the refrigerator and figure out what's making that noise.
07:51 That is a really good idea.
07:54 Usually you're not supportive of my efforts.
07:56 I'm more mature now.
07:57 After their dad scolds him, his tears dampen Missy's triumph.
08:01 You know if you cry, I can't enjoy your pain.
08:04 Yes, she briefly shows remorse, but let's not forget who masterminded all this.
08:09 She gets over it pretty quickly though.
08:11 Mom?
08:12 Since Sheldon cost you all that money, who's your new favorite? Me or Georgie?
08:16 Number 3. Eat Dirt
08:18 Missy has to swerve a few bases to score a place on a baseball team.
08:22 Yet even after making the cut, she faces more curveballs primarily in the form of sexist attitudes from her friends and teammates.
08:30 These boys however, haven't met Missy Cooper before and they quickly realize she's a force to be reckoned with.
08:37 The boys were a little mean at first, but I handled it.
08:40 Can I warm up with you?
08:41 I don't play baseball with the girls.
08:44 Really? Your friend's playing with one?
08:46 Boo hoo hoo!
08:48 Unfortunately, the opposing team ignores warnings about treating Missy fairly during their game.
08:53 After one too many strikes, Missy decides it's time to swing back.
08:58 Cooper!
09:01 Ah well, here we go.
09:03 Eat sticks!
09:04 Eat it!
09:05 While we don't necessarily endorse her actions,
09:07 the uproarious cheers from her dad and meemaw make it clear where she gets her fiery spirit.
09:13 I shrug their faces in the dirt.
09:15 That's my girl.
09:17 Someone's getting extra sprinkles tonight.
09:20 Number two, an A+ in savagery.
09:23 Season six hits Missy like a tidal wave of teen angst.
09:27 It doesn't help when her parents forget to pick her up from school after Mandy goes into labor
09:32 and she's not letting that slide.
09:34 Well since mom's not here, I made your lunch.
09:36 That was nice.
09:39 Try not forgetting your daughter today, XO Missy.
09:47 That's my name, in case you forgot.
09:49 However, she saves her peak savagery for her teacher, who's also going through a rough patch.
09:55 During a test, she quizzes Billy on the previous day's events.
09:59 She was at the hospital for your brother's baby.
10:02 What?
10:04 Did you not know he had one?
10:05 It's a girl.
10:07 No talking during a test.
10:10 Well, we all know that talking during exams is a big no-no, but does Missy care?
10:15 Not at all.
10:16 So when her teacher accuses the pair of cheating, Missy fires back and dang, it's brutal.
10:22 Keep your eyes on your own papers.
10:24 I'm not cheating.
10:25 Well, that's not what it looks like.
10:27 I guess you would know what cheating looks like.
10:30 Ask your husband.
10:31 Is she at least sorry about her outburst?
10:34 And you do not talk to your teacher that way either.
10:37 Sheldon says obnoxious things all the time, but it's fine because he's special.
10:40 Doesn't seem like it.
10:42 Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:46 Roasting her dad.
10:48 We're sure he feels the burn.
10:50 If I knew you could run, I would have let you teach him.
10:52 No babies or puppies?
10:54 Not her problem.
10:55 We probably would have tuned out after the no puppy part too.
10:58 So kids, we have a little family business to discuss.
11:02 You're pregnant?
11:03 No.
11:04 We're getting a puppy?
11:05 No.
11:06 I'm not sure I care.
11:07 Love thy neighbor.
11:09 Missy knows what that really means.
11:11 Love your neighbor as yourself.
11:14 Anybody like to take a guess what that means?
11:16 Missy.
11:17 It means to be nice to the people who live next door.
11:20 That's right.
11:21 But everybody else can go to hell.
11:23 Missy gives Sheldon fashion advice.
11:26 Even half asleep, she knows how to deliver a zinger in style.
11:30 Missy.
11:30 What?
11:34 Help me with my clothes.
11:35 Burn them and get new ones.
11:37 She's brutally honest.
11:39 No beating around the bush here.
11:41 Pastor Jeff's wife is so much prettier than him.
11:43 It's like Barbie married a turtle.

12:00 Number 1.
12:03 Standing up for her family.
12:05 While Missy's family tends to be the most frequent targets of her barbed tongue,
12:10 she also doesn't hesitate to use it to defend them.
12:13 What's going on is people are talking about my brother behind my back instead of saying
12:16 it to my face.
12:16 She's talking about Georgie, not me.
12:19 People talk about me behind my back, but it's about how smart I am.
12:21 I'll say it to your face.
12:23 Your brother's going to hell.
12:26 It's a rough time for the Coopers, who have essentially been cast out by their community
12:30 due to Georgie and Mandy's out-of-wedlock pregnancy.
12:34 Things reach a boiling point during a Sunday school showdown between Missy and another kid,
12:39 who won't quit trash-talking her family.
12:41 How about I kick your ass?
12:43 I'd like to see you try.
12:44 How about I help her?
12:47 How about I go get Pastor Rob?
12:48 Say one more thing about my family and see what happens.
12:52 While she usually relies on her razor-sharp wit to get her message across loud and clear,
12:57 this time she lets her fist do the talking.
13:00 In a world where savagery could be measured like IQ,
13:03 Missy would undoubtedly be cruising in the top percentile.
13:08 Why aren't you in school?
13:10 You told me not to punch anyone else, so I left.
13:12 Well, go to your room.
13:15 Can you think of another time Missy had more sting than a prickly pear cactus?
13:19 Let us know in the comments.
13:20 I love everything about this.
13:23 Do you agree with our picks?
