00:00But if you think anyone but me is going to be your maid of honor, then you're an idiot
00:03because you are my best friend.
00:05Too late, Bernadette.
00:06BESTIE!
00:07Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for those big bang moments
00:15that caused us to vocalize our feelings at the screen in front of us.
00:18Good feelings, bad feelings, angry feelings.
00:21Whatever they were, we couldn't hold back.
00:24Penny.
00:25What?
00:26Please don't hurt my friend.
00:28That is the last thing I want to do.
00:3310.
00:34Mary and Alfred leave together.
00:36The Convergence Convergence.
00:38Neanderthals and Homo sapiens frequently mated with each other.
00:42Well, that certainly explains my marriage to Sheldon's father.
00:47One might not think Sheldon's mother and Leonard's father would have much in common, but when
00:51they meet during the weekend of Leonard and Penny's second wedding, they hit it off.
00:55The signs are all there.
00:57But it isn't until they leave together after dinner, heading back to the same hotel for
01:01a nightcap, that we found ourselves blurting out a shocked and, we will admit, happy exclamation
01:07at the idea of these two enjoying each other's company.
01:10Would you like to share a cat?
01:12That would be fine.
01:13Where are you staying?
01:14I'm at the Westin.
01:15Well, so am I.
01:16Could I interest you in a nightcap?
01:17I think that you could.
01:22Unlike Leonard's mother and Sheldon, who were not enthused at all by the idea.
01:27I don't like this at all.
01:30I don't like it either.
01:31Really?
01:32Because I love it.
01:36Number 9.
01:37Sheldon says too much to the FBI agent.
01:39The Apology Insufficiency.
01:41You say you're Special Agent Page, FBI.
01:45Here's my ID.
01:47And here is my Justice League membership card.
01:52Sheldon is a very, very smart man, but sometimes he just doesn't know when to shut up.
01:56One of those times was in Season 4 when he was being interviewed by an FBI agent in regards
02:01to the government doing a background check on Howard.
02:04At first, the talkative Sheldon is more concerned with mentioning the time Howard damaged his
02:09The Lord of the Rings Blu-ray case and messed with his World of Warcraft character.
02:14Mr. Wolowitz once snuck onto my World of Warcraft account and changed the name of a certain
02:19level 80 warlock from Sheldor to Smeldor.
02:24I'm afraid not.
02:25Then, as he lists off a few more things, he mentions how Howard crashed the Mars Rover.
02:31No!
02:32Did I say Mars Rover?
02:34You did.
02:35That was actually a poorly chosen example as it had nothing to do with me.
02:40Number 8.
02:41Amy yells at the Thermalab guys.
02:43The Laureate Accumulation.
02:44Dr. Cooper, Dr. Fowler, good to see you.
02:48What are you doing here?
02:49Professor Smoot invited us.
02:50We're Facebook friends.
02:51Smooty!
02:52When it comes to the coupling of Amy and Sheldon, she's usually the calm and reasonable one.
02:58Well, not this time.
02:59And by this time, we are referring to when they invited a bunch of Nobel Laureates to
03:03Caltech to raise scientific support for their Nobel Prize bid, as opposed to the guys from
03:08Thermalab who were just riding their scientific coattails.
03:11Everything was going well until the Thermalab duo appeared.
03:15Well, Amy couldn't take it anymore and blasted them in front of everyone.
03:18Oh, for crying out loud, there is a term for that!
03:21It's called imposter syndrome and you don't have it because you can't have it if you are
03:26imposters and you are!
03:28While the outburst was kind of awkward, we couldn't help but yell at the guys right along
03:32with her.
03:33Is that what I would have sounded like?
03:35Yeah.
03:36Yikes!
03:37Number 7.
03:38Penny is pregnant.
03:39The Stockholm Syndrome.
03:40And a reminder, Penny, there's free alcohol in business class.
03:43Don't abuse it.
03:44I'm not going to drink.
03:45Why?
03:46Are you pregnant?
03:47What?
03:48No.
03:49No.
03:50I just, you know, I don't like to drink when I fly.
03:51Please, I've seen you drink in the shower.
03:55It's rather appropriate that Penny was revealed to be pregnant in an episode titled The Stockholm
03:59Syndrome given how it seemed to make no sense for her character.
04:02Penny never seriously talked about having kids, but had on numerous occasions made it
04:06clear that she didn't desire any.
04:08Yet there it is, in the final episode of the series, the big surprise reveal that Penny
04:12is with child.
04:14Was Amy suspicious when they had to let your dress out?
04:16No, she was so happy she didn't even question it.
04:20Someone's going to figure it out.
04:21Why don't we just tell people?
04:22No, it's too early.
04:23I haven't even wrapped my head around it.
04:24I have.
04:25My head is wrapped.
04:26Yeah, well.
04:27The news gets an excited gasp from the studio audience, but there are probably those at
04:32home who were yelling not so happily at the screen, angry that they'd just done a complete
04:36180 on her character.
04:37If you think about it, he has kind of been our practice kid.
04:41Like, when you make pancakes and the first one comes out a little wonky.
04:47Number 6.
04:48Howard's half-brother.
04:49The fortification implementation.
04:51Are you saying they're my half-brother?
04:54I think so.
04:57Bernadette, weird things are happening out here!
05:02One burning Big Bang question that never got answered was, what happened to Howard's father?
05:07We know he abandoned the family when Howard was young, but why?
05:11Where did he go?
05:12While we were never given all of the answers, we did get a glimpse of what happened when
05:16Howard's half-brother showed up at his door.
05:19So we know that his dad had another family, and that is definitely gasp-worthy on its
05:23own.
05:24I can't believe my brother's an astronaut!
05:25That's amazing!
05:26What was it like?
05:27Listen, dude, it's time for you to do the work.
05:28Hey, hey, hey!
05:29The young man asked a good question!
05:33However, we also yelled at the screen, begging Howard to ask his brother about their father,
05:38which he never did.
05:39Then, later, once the series ended, we also yelled at the show's creators for never bringing
05:44the half-brother back and just leaving that storyline hanging.
05:48Was the robot sexy?
05:50It was actually just a mechanical hand.
05:54Because that's all you need, right?
05:59You are my brother.
06:01Number 5.
06:03The Launch Acceleration
06:04People say weird things during sex all the time.
06:06Okay, well, they sure as hell don't say that.
06:08Leonard and Penny emerge from the bedroom with Leonard apologizing for having gone too
06:12far.
06:13What could this sweet little nerd have said to immediately halt the passion and send Penny
06:17racing from the room?
06:18Now, sometimes the reaction from a sitcom studio audience can be exaggerated.
06:23In this case, we were totally on board with the gasps that emanated from them following
06:27the reveal of what came out of Leonard's mouth while in bed with Penny.
06:30It's the heat of the moment!
06:31No!
06:32The heat of the moment is, oh yeah, just like that, not, will you marry me?
06:39Of course, things that emerged from Penny's mouth have made us react as well.
06:42Remember when she admitted she didn't want Leonard to go to the North Pole?
06:45Or the first time she said, I love you?
06:47Listen to me.
06:48You are the one I'm with.
06:49You know I love you.
06:51So will you please relax because you're driving me crazy.
06:53You know, that's the first time you ever said that you love me.
06:56Yeah.
06:58Yeah.
06:59Number four, Penny and Raj wake up in bed together.
07:04The roommate transmogrification.
07:05Okay, look, this never happened.
07:09Do you understand me?
07:13We can usually see things coming from a mile away.
07:15We'll admit that Penny and Raj ending up in bed together wasn't something we saw happening,
07:20even as the two got drunk together at the apartment.
07:22If we had seen it coming, we would have been yelling at the screen, don't do it!
07:26Instead, we found ourselves addressing the screen as the camera, panned up to reveal
07:30the two of them hung over in bed together the next morning.
07:33We then had to wait an entire summer until the first episode of the next season to find
07:37out exactly what happened in that bed.
07:39We didn't actually.
07:40No, I did.
07:41It was beautiful.
07:45We can't forget another surprising Raj slash Penny moment when he talked to her without
07:50alcohol.
07:51You're talking to me.
07:52I am.
07:53I love you.
07:55And now I'm crying for a whole different reason.
08:013.
08:02Howard doesn't get the hint.
08:03The killer robot instability.
08:04Howard, why don't we just work on the robot?
08:05Please, Leonard, not now.
08:08Once again, Penny and I have begun our little tango.
08:11Our tango?
08:14If we yelled at the screen every time Howard did something cringey or made inappropriate
08:18comments, we'd have been hoarse by the end of the first season.
08:21As much as we all accepted Howard's creepy behavior in those early seasons, the time
08:25he tried to kiss Penny still brought out a strong vocalization in us.
08:29That vocalization being, what the hell are you doing, Howard?
08:32I am not flirting with you.
08:34No woman is ever going to flirt with you.
08:36You're just going to grow old and die alone.
08:39Penny had gone over to apologize for saying mean things to him.
08:42Howard took her apologetic kindness as flirting and went in for a smooch.
08:45We say again, what the hell are you doing, Howard?
08:50Number 2.
08:58The elevator is fixed.
09:00The change constant.
09:01Which means, this would actually be a return to the status quo, but conversely, I think
09:05Get in!
09:06For 12 seasons, we'd watched people walk up and down the stairs because the elevator was
09:13broken.
09:14It provided some of the show's funniest moments, and the flashback episode in which Leonard
09:17explains how the elevator broke is still one of our favorites.
09:33With all that being said, few Big Bang moments filled us with as much pure, joyful surprise
09:37as the moment in the penultimate episode when those elevator doors slid open to reveal Penny
09:43standing inside.
09:44According to producer Steve Holland, it took about 42 seconds for the audience to calm
09:48down so Kaley Cuoco could get her line out.
10:03Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:06Sheldon hugs Penny.
10:07The bath item gift hypothesis.
10:10It really was a Saturnalia miracle.
10:25That painting.
10:26The Rothman disintegration.
10:28One scream for the painting and one for being grateful no one gave us a gift that ugly.
10:43Spoiler alert.
10:44The spoiler alert segmentation.
10:46Not cool, Sheldon.
10:47Not cool.
10:48Beverly kisses Sheldon.
10:59The maternal congruence.
11:01Not cool, Beverly.
11:02Not cool.
11:10Won the Nobel Prize.
11:12The change constant.
11:13We knew they would win it, but it was still an awesome scream out loud moment.
11:40Number 1.
11:41Sheldon Proposal
11:42The long distance dissonance.
11:57There have been a few scream out loud moments involving Sheldon and Amy.
12:01From their first kiss on the train, to their first I love you's, and of course, Sheldon
12:04deciding he was ready for coitus.
12:14No moment of shamey's relationship has caused us to vocalize at the television screen like
12:19when Sheldon proposed.
12:21From the moment Dr. Ramona Nowitzki kisses him and he walks out of his office, we're
12:26left wondering where he's going.
12:27Even when we eventually see Amy and hear him knock on the door, the last thing we're thinking
12:31is a proposal is seconds away.
12:33Yet, when she opens the door, there he is, down on one knee, awesome.
12:47Tell us one of your best scream at the screen big bang moments.
