Top 10 Funniest The Big Bang Theory Episodes


top-10-funniest-the-big-bang-theory-episodes


The Big Bang Theory has had us in splits since 2007. It’s already in its 10th season, and it doesn’t look like people around the world are going to give it up anytime soon. It’s the show that made nerds and geeks a part of mainstream culture. We love watching Leonard, Penny, Sheldon, Howard, Raj, and others break-up and make-up over science, make it through socially awkward situations and enjoy some of the best chemistry we’ve seen in a sitcom.
Here’s a recap of some of the funniest Big Bang Theory episodes that make rainy days tolerable and fun again. Let’s raise a toast to the best Big Bang Theory episodes and hope this quirky group of friends stay with us for a long time.

10. The Middle Earth Paradigm, S1e6


10-the-middle-earth-paradigm-s1e6


This is one of the best episodes of Big Bang Theory, in which there’s a costume party. Penny kisses Leonard in a Frodo costume, Raj manages to make it through the evening despite being unable to talk to women, and Sheldon turns up looking like the Doppler effect hoping there will be judging and prizes for ‘the most accurate representation of a scientific principle’! On a side note, this is also the episode where Leonard and Penny kiss for the first time.

9. The Troll Manifestation, S8e14


9-the-troll-manifestation-s8e14

This is the episode in which Amy writes an erotic fan fiction story called Little House on the Prairie. It is a thinly veiled story of her and Sheldon. Only, it’s set in the eighteenth century and the hero is a time-traveler who, according to Bernadette, is just as exhausting in fantasy as Sheldon.
‘What is time travel?’ asks the eighteenth century Amelia.
‘What part don’t you understand? ‘Time’ or ‘Travel’?” says Cooper/Sheldon.
If the ladies reading the story is funny, stay tuned for the enactment that Amy and Sheldon do in the end of the episode.

8. The Barbarian Sublimation, S2e3


8-the-barbarian-sublimation-s2e3

This gem among Big Bang Theory episodes is where Penny gets hooked to World of Warcraft. She’s hit rock bottom in work and love, and keeps pestering Sheldon to show her how to play, going so far as to wake him in the middle of the night to ask advise about a quest. A great comic-duo is born and Leonard tries to advise Penny on her addiction, turning up as a WoW character and having his head sliced off. This is one of the funniest Big Bang Theory episodes in which Penny plays a huge role.

7. The Proton Transmogrification, S7e22


7-the-proton-transmogrification-s7e22

Bob Newhart’s Professor Proton waving around a Jedi stick and Sheldon’s conviction that he’s there to give him advice a la Obi Wan Kenobi makes for consistently funny moments in one of the best episodes of Big Bang Theory. The sitcom is best when it focuses on geek culture. This episode is about Star Wars, Sheldon coming to terms with the loss of a mentor and Bob Newhart dressed in Jedi robes advising Sheldon about getting a prenup.

6. The Euclid Alternative, S2e5


6-the-euclid-alternative-s2e5

In this episode, Sheldon learns to drive, with disastrous consequences. This is one of the first episodes of Big Bang Theory in which Sheldon becomes a stand-out character and takes some of the focus from Leonard. He keeps bugging his friends to drive him around on errands, until they recommend he gets a driver’s license (which he didn’t get at sixteen because he was ‘otherwise engaged’).
There is a hilarious scene in which he irritates the DMV with questions about the questions on the application, until she hands him the Learner’s License to get rid of him. Another standout moment is Sheldon at the driving simulator.

5. The Table Polarization, S7, e16


5-the-table-polarization-s7-e16

This is one of the funniest Big Bang Theory episodes in which Leonard tries to get the gang to sit around an actual dining table. There’s a battle of wills between Sheldon and Leonard. Penny tries to get Leonard to stand up to Sheldon. Sheldon is made to realize that just like Penny is changing Leonard, Amy has changed him too into an ‘affection, open-minded’ individual, and that it won’t do. He decides to break up with Amy. Hilarity follows.

4. The Panty Pinata Polarization, S2e7


4-the-panty-pinata-polarization-s2e7

A Penny versus Sheldon battle of wills makes for hilarious television. Sheldon blocks Penny from freeloading on the WiFi, hangs her laundry on a telephone wire so she can play panty pinata and retrieve it, and Penny gets revenge by telling on him to his mother. Meanwhile, Raj and Howard try to figure out where America’s Next Top Model lives.

3. The Love Spell Potential, S6e23


3-the-love-spell-potential-s6e23

The girls’ can’t make it to Vegas on a planned trip, so they play Dungeons and Dragons with the boys. Howard does some fantastic impressions as Dungeon Master. But the gang tease Amy and Sheldon for their lack of intimacy, and Bernadette casts a love spell on them in the game. This hits too close to home for Amy, and she goes off to mope. Sheldon follows to comfort her, and hilarity happens. This is one of the funniest Big Bang Theory episodes in which Sheldon and Amy literally play at intimacy, in his bedroom, with dice.

2. The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis, S2, e11


2-the-bath-item-gift-hypothesis-s2-e11

It’s Christmas gift-giving season. This is the episode where Penny gives Sheldon a gift with the autograph and saliva of Leonard Nimoy. Sheldon has been wondering all episode what to give Penny in return, without under- or over- reciprocating. Meanwhile, Leonard is unhappy to learn that Penny’s new boyfriend is just as smart as he is good-looking. This is one of the best Christmas episodes from the show, with a heartwarming hug from Sheldon to Penny!

1. The Transporter Malfunction, S5e20


1-the-transporter-malfunction-s5e20

This is one of the best Star Trek-related Big Bang Theory episodes. Penny gifts Leonard and Sheldon Star Trek transporter collectible toys. Sheldon can’t bear to play with his, but Leonard Nimoy in a dream tells him to. The toy breaks. Sheldon switches his with Leonard’s. Watch the episode to see the fun!

Top 10 Humorous Stories - Sparkinlist

Top 10 Humours Sign Boards of the Time


Signs are supposed to provide us with guidance on what to do and what to avoid. However, some signs despite the serious intent that they have provided end up being hilarious. We have scouted
the internet and beyond for some of the most outrageously funny signboards. So from the funniest signs around the world, these are some of the most humours sign boards of the time.


top-10-humours-sign-boards-of-the-time

10. EXIT and be forced to EXIT



exit-and-be-forced-to-exit


There are weird signs and there are weirder ones. This is the weirdest there is. Few outrageously funny signboards could match this warning for persons intending to exit that they will be requested to exit should they decide to use a particular door. The author of one of the humours sign boards of the time should take an IQ test.

9. You read right, “Potty.”


you-read-right-potty

What more could you desire from a vegan restaurant than to be able to make use of the potty, Totty? Well, if this sign – certainly one of the funniest signs around the world – is anything to go by, you might not make it home after the meal. Or maybe, the potty might just be referring to where you get to eat your food in.

8. Drunken people crossing


drunken-people-crossing

Let me honestly ask this: how notorious could an area be for drunks that they should be forced to have a sign dedicated to them. Definitely a contender for the humours sign boards of the time, few outrageously funny signboards could compare.

7. Heavy pedestrians here


heavy-pedestrians-here

How discriminatory could a sign be? Taking your mind away from what heavy pedestrian traffic should ordinarily be, this sign that happens to be picked as one of our funniest signs around the world, takes a cheap shot at the overweight, and potbellied. Funny, but sad.

6. How to feed children to a lion


how-to-feed-children-to-a-lion

For a better explanation of one of the humours sign boards of the time please follow this guide for each of the images. 1. Once you get the lions attention walk back slowly to where the food is. 2. Shout for the food. 3. Bring the food close, pick up the food without bending so you don’t get eaten instead and show the food to the lion. 4. Should you get attacked instead of the food fight back.

5. The town called Accident


the-town-called-accident

The world is full of outrageously funny signboards. This town with its peculiar name is definitely no exception. What still baffles me about one of the funniest signs around the world, is the intent when naming. What could have pushed the founding fathers of this town to make the town Accident.

4. Beware of thieves


beware-of-thieves


If a particular section of your road is a den for thieves and highway robbers, what better way could there have been to inform the uninformed road users who may unwittingly pick up one. This does not however, prevent it from being one of the outrageously funny signboards of all time.

3. Strange dogs and strangers are one


strange-dogs-and-strangers-are-one

Never before have I seen strange dogs and strangers being put in the same category. Now let us face the hypothetical situation in which a dog may have been lost. Does the fact that the dog is unknown to passersby mean that the dog should be considered a stranger. I would however like to think that the warning is meant for the dog to avoid strangers. Because I doubt that such cuddly creatures could be viewed in such a mean light.

2. Do not ride headless horses


do-not-ride-headless-horses

Either, this town is
extremely superstitious or that there is something that we do not know about. Wherever the headless horses are I do not care. Seriously speaking, I simply desire to know the location of this sign. I need to beware never to visit such a location.

1. Beware of the wild children


beware-of-the-wild-children

An important guideline for sign writers, make your instructions clear enough so the reader can understand what you are saying. And if we do not have a clear interpretation of what your saying, we can infer by interchanging words. In this case no amount of magic can give you a clear interpretation of what is being said.
Out of the multitude of funniest signs around the world, these are most humours sign boards of the time. Sometimes a minor dose of literacy is encouraged when composing signs like these. Might just save us all a bit of time.
