00:00Penny and I are very close.
00:03You are?
00:04Yes.
00:05In fact, our menses are synchronized.
00:08Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the times the Big Bang
00:12Theory's Penny and Amy were truly bestie goals.
00:17Bestie!
00:18Number 10.
00:23Girls' Night
00:24The ladies, and occasionally Raj, are no strangers to a night out on the town.
00:29Sorry Raj, it's girls' night out.
00:31Maybe another time.
00:35Okay.
00:38Come on.
00:40However, one of their best outings has to be when Sheldon joins them for a night of
00:44Priya-bashing.
00:45What's up with those pantsuits?
00:49I need some context.
00:51Pantsuits suck.
00:52And that opens her up to justifiable ridicule for wearing them.
00:55Good one, Bernadette.
00:57Amy learns the protocols of trash-talking and lets her scientific curiosity take over
01:02by planting one on Penny.
01:04Yes, she kissed her bestie, and she liked it.
01:08I kissed a girl, and I liked it.
01:14What happened to you?
01:15Throughout the series, these girls' nights often show Amy's character development and
01:19her ever-deepening bond with Penny.
01:22By season 9, she's really found her groove within the group.
01:25Now she's not just one of the gang, but a go-to source for advice.
01:29You might say that's all thanks to Penny's lasting influence.
01:32Sure you don't want to stay here with us?
01:34I kind of feel like being alone right now.
01:36Well, if you change your mind, we'll be here.
01:39Thank you.
01:40Say hi to Emily for us.
01:42Will do.
01:44Number 9.
01:45Checking out Sheldon's new assistant.
01:47In season 6, Sheldon hires a grad student named Alex as his assistant, much to Amy's
01:53surprise.
01:54Alex, Dr. Cooper's assistant.
01:55Can I help you?
01:56I'd like to speak to Sheldon.
01:57I'm sorry, he's asked me to hold all calls unless you're Stephen Hawking, his mother,
02:02or himself from the future.
02:04She first meets her while calling Sheldon to show off her new makeover.
02:08How can any woman spend eight hours a day alone with this face and not fall in love
02:12with it?
02:13Well, for starters, at some point that face starts talking.
02:18Despite Penny's attempts to reassure her, curiosity gets the best of her, and they
02:23head down to Sheldon's office.
02:25There, Amy's primal instincts take over, and she begins to mark her territory, a tactic
02:31she's apparently used before.
02:33Come on, Amy, that is not gonna work.
02:35Really?
02:36Because just before you became my best friend, I did this all over your apartment.
02:41Yet any anxieties Amy harbors vanish when she sees Alex hitting it off with Leonard.
02:46We know Amy meant well, but she manages to get into Penny's head and leaves her feeling
02:52a tad uneasy.
02:53Well, at least Amy gets a kick out of it.
02:55If this were a boxing match, they might call it the Thrilla adjacent to the Umigdilla.
03:03If you were a brain scientist, you would be busting a guy right now.
03:11It's game night in Apartment 4A, Battle of the Sexes edition.
03:15While Sheldon's sure he's unbeatable, he soon gets a humbling lesson about teamwork.
03:20Amy and Penny destroy the guys at Pictionary so effortlessly that it hardly feels like
03:25much of a competition.
03:27Uh, bratwurst?
03:29Oh, hot dog.
03:32Penny, aren't you gonna draw something?
03:34Relax, we got time, this is so fun.
03:38Yet their victory ignites a competitive fire in everyone.
03:41No matter what challenge the guys set, to paraphrase Penny, they have their backsides
03:46handed to them time and time again.
03:49It's not really about skill.
03:50It's more about how well Penny and Amy gel together.
03:57Remember, show your work.
04:01I'm okay.
04:02I'm okay.
04:06While Leonard and Sheldon are off bickering, Penny and Amy support each other.
04:10They don't just dominate game night, they crush friendship too.
04:15Hey guys, guess who's back from space?
04:19Not now!
04:24In the early days, Amy's a bit of an oddball who desperately wants to fit in.
04:29Want some coffee liqueur on your ice cream?
04:31Ah, here's the alcohol and drug peer pressure mother warned me about.
04:36I was starting to think it was never gonna happen.
04:39Yes, please.
04:41Yet perhaps this is most evident when the ladies have an impromptu slumber party.
04:46This is a first for Amy, and she's determined to tick every slumber party trope in the book.
04:51There are pillow fights, nail painting, girl talk, and crank phone calls.
04:56But what's a slumber party without a game of truth or dare?
04:59Next on Wikipedia's list of slumber party activities, truth or dare.
05:03Okay, it's your game, you go first.
05:04Hang on, I'm familiarizing myself with the rules.
05:07Even so, this isn't the kind of sleepovers we remember from our youth.
05:11Things get a little tense when Bernadette hits Penny with a hard-hitting truth.
05:16You know what? I don't want to play anymore.
05:26Well, I'm not sure how this is scored, but I believe we may have won.
05:30Amy fails to read the room and continues trying to plow through her to-do list.
05:36What are you doing?
05:37Don't worry, I'll avoid the nether, yeah yeah.
05:42I might have gone with eating raw cookie dough.
05:47Number six, spying on Priya.
05:49Amy tends to take a more analytical than empathetic approach while helping Penny confront her feelings over Leonard,
05:56and Priya rekindling their relationship.
05:59It's okay, it's okay.
06:01Thank you.
06:02Now let's get these electrodes attached and see what's going on in that pretty little noggin of yours.
06:07Okay.
06:09Now, Amy's methods can be a bit out there, like sending a spy to gather intel at a dinner.
06:14Commence operation Priya wouldn't want to be ya.
06:21Wait, seriously?
06:22Didn't you get enough of this clicky stuff?
06:24Seriously?
06:25Didn't you get enough of this clicky crap in high school?
06:27I wish.
06:28A click requires friends, I didn't have any.
06:30Sure, it's not the most adult way to handle the situation.
06:33Still, you've gotta hand it to Amy for her dedication to Penny's happiness.
06:38Does her plan give us high school flashbacks?
06:40Sure, but we guess her heart's in the right place.
06:43What astronaut story?
06:44You texted me Penny's dating an astronaut.
06:47I texted architect, that's amusing, autocorrect must have changed it.
06:51Later on, when Penny finds herself in a sticky situation after a surprising night with Raj,
06:56Amy is right there to offer her support once again.
07:00Can I stay at your place for a few nights?
07:02Really?
07:03A best friend sleepover?
07:05Yay!
07:07Yeah, sure, yay!
07:09Number five, Penny learns that Amy's popular.
07:13Penny steps up when Sheldon bails on attending a social event with Amy.
07:17Unfortunately, Sheldon isn't the only no-show,
07:20and just like the ladies consider leaving,
07:22Bert drops some info that compels them to stay.
07:25Well, you know how Amy's the coolest girl on campus, right?
07:28No!
07:30Well, yeah, everybody thinks so.
07:32What? You tell me about your foot fungus, but this is a secret?
07:37Penny learns that university is no different from high school.
07:40Clicks are still a thing, and even Caltech has its queen bee.
07:45Amy discovers that she is the queen bee,
07:48and her status has raised Sheldon's popularity, too.
07:51Caltech is exactly like my high school.
07:54Well, it's not exactly like it, and we're all extremely smart.
08:00Wow, you popular girls are mean.
08:02You can see on Penny's face how much she's enjoying hearing about this side of her friends,
08:07even if Bert has no idea who Leonard is.
08:10This is a Penny and Amy bonding moment that we'll never take for granted.
08:14In fact, you know what? We will never take you for granite.
08:18Did you get that? Granite?
08:21A little geology joke.
08:27When it comes to your big day, finding a maid of honor like Penny is an absolute win.
08:32Alright, it's go time! I am pumped!
08:36Sure, she learns along the way that sometimes honesty isn't the best policy,
08:40but ultimately, she stands by the bride through thick and thin.
08:44Sheldon loves Amy, and he would never hurt her on her wedding day or any other day, so park it!
08:49Penny and Bernadette also deserve serious credit for pulling off Amy's dream bachelorette party.
08:55And no, we're not talking about tea and sewing snooze fests.
08:59Nope, they went all out to give Amy a night that exceeded even her wildest dreams.
09:05Although granted, her wildest dreams might have been the only venue they had to work with.
09:10I don't know how to river dance.
09:12Didn't stop you from teaching all those shirtless firemen.
09:18I saw shirtless firemen?
09:20Saw, smelled, slid down like a pole.
09:23While good friends wouldn't dare snap embarrassing photos, you better believe best friends might.
09:29You know, for the memories.
09:32Teaching Amy how to make a scene.
09:34When Sheldon flakes out on their plans, Amy turns to Penny for comfort.
09:38I had to go to my aunt's party all by myself, and everybody was like,
09:42where's this boyfriend you're always talking about? Is he real, or did you make him up like Armin the miniature horse breeder?
09:48Penny turns out to be the ultimate friend in need, doing everything she can to turn Amy's frown upside down.
09:55When their drinking game gets a tad out of control, Penny buys herself some time by offering Amy a little girlfriend 101.
10:02While some might suggest honesty and open communication is the key to a good relationship,
10:07Penny knows that sometimes you just need a good old-fashioned dose of drama.
10:12I've got a bone to pick with you, and I'm about to do it in front of all your friends.
10:15Yeah, you pick that bone, you pick that bone clean.
10:18I'm gonna publicly shame you, and then sit back as societal pressure compels you to modify your behavior.
10:23Oh, burn!
10:25Find yourself a hype woman like Penny when you're creating a scene in front of your significant other's friends.
10:30Penny's got that rolled down to a science.
10:33Sheldon, she wanted to show you off to her family, and you stood her up, okay?
10:37Look at this adorable, smushy face.
10:40Smush, smush, smush, smush, smush.
10:43Number 2. Penny becomes Amy's maid of honor.
10:46Amy often considers Penny her best friend, so you'd think she'd be the obvious choice for maid of honor, right?
10:52Wrong.
10:53When Amy can't decide between her two best gal pals,
10:56she joins Sheldon in making their friends jump through hoops to determine who's best suited for the role.
11:02Penny gets 20 points for the sewing kit.
11:04Yeah, minus five, because this is mine.
11:09Well, she's still pulling a commanding lead.
11:12Of course, everyone finds out, leaving the couple with no candidate for the job.
11:16After Sheldon chooses Leonard, his best friend, to be his best man,
11:20Penny slowly realizes that Amy is her best friend, and she should be her maid of honor.
11:25You know, we talk every day, we see each other all the time, she's always there for me,
11:29and basically, oh my god, Amy's my best friend.
11:34You okay?
11:36No, my best friend didn't ask me to be her maid of honor, I'm pissed!
11:40Penny, who we already know is an expert at making scenes, confronts her bestie.
11:45We're in a dead who, right?
11:46If you think anyone but me is gonna be your maid of honor, then you're an idiot,
11:49because you are my best friend.
11:51Too late, Bernadette.
11:52Bestie!

12:12Number 1. The Painting
12:15Remember those friendship bracelets and matching jewelry we used to swap with our besties?
12:20Amy takes it up a notch, gifting Penny a symbol of their bond that's on a whole other level.
12:26Do you like it?
12:27Do I like it? Wow!
12:31So, uh, where are you gonna hang it?
12:33Oh my god, hang it, wow!
12:35You can't help but feel Amy's joy.
12:38Yet, we definitely would not want anything of the kind in our homes haunting our living rooms,
12:43as well as our nightmares.
12:45Goodnight, painting Penny.
12:48Goodnight, real Penny.
12:51Goodnight, real Amy.
12:53You don't have to say goodnight to painting Amy, because she's never leaving.
12:56However, Penny soon realizes she'd rather live with the portrait than lose Amy as a friend.
13:02Although Amy's confession may give her second thoughts.
13:05Yeah, okay, that's, uh, that's good.
13:09I'll let you in on a little secret.
13:11Originally, we were painted nude.
13:13The painting remains all but forgotten until Amy and Sheldon return it to her when they move into her apartment and she shacks up with Leonard.
13:21But you commissioned it.
13:22To give to you.
13:25But you like it so much.
13:26So do you.
13:30We seem to be losing.
13:31Yes, you do.
13:33What Penny and Amy moment do you think is peak friendship goals?
13:37Let us know in the comments.
13:38Tonight, we're gonna do whatever you want.
