'Big Bang Theory' Seasons/Episodes Trivia

From Quiz The Holiday Situations

Answer: The Flash

At the initial meeting in Leonard's apartment, all came dressed as The Flash. After a brief discussion, where Sheldon suggested that they all spend the night standing behind each other to emulate The Flash at full speed, it was decided that they would all choose another costume. Leonard called dibs on a Frodo costume, while Sheldon reappeared as the Dopler Effect, Howard was either Robin Hood or Peter Pan, and Raj was Thor. While fans of the series know that Leonard fell in love with Penny the first time he saw her, this is perhaps the first time Penny realized that Leonard thought she was "perfect". The two shared their first kiss in this episode.

Answer: Kurt

Leonard and Sheldon try to get the TV back from her ex-boyfriend, Kurt, but their combined intellect was no match for Kurt's size and strength, and they return not only without the TV, but neither one with their pants either. FYI, Wyatt is the name of Penny's dad.

From Quiz Season 9 Part 2

Answer: The Valentino Submergence

Howard and Bernadette find a rabbit in their hot tub. They rescue it from the tub and take care of it. They name it Valentino (giving the episode its title) because they found it on Valentine's Day. Howard is not careful and the rabbit bites him. Bernadette takes Howard to the emergency room and tells the audience that she'll have to find another time to tell him that she's pregnant.

From Quiz Season 9

Answer: His mother

At the end of season 8, we got quite a shocker when we learn that Sheldon had a ring, which he showed to us right after Amy said via skype that she needs to "take a step back." One might assume she meant that they were breaking up, but at the beginning of the first episode in season 9, Amy implied that they hadn't broken up just yet, she just needed time to think about it. However, Sheldon wouldn't give her any time to think about it. He so desperately wanted to know that he went to see Amy every chance he got. To make matters worse, he unintentionally insulted Amy when he told her that her eggs wouldn't last forever. That was when Amy broke up with him. Afterwards, Sheldon called his mom to tell her that he and Amy broke up and that he wanted to return the ring to her. His mom told him to keep it because his sister was married and she didn't want his brother marrying the girl he was dating.

Answer: Planet Of The Apes

The episode starts with Penny revealing that she went back home to Nebraska and that it was terrible, because all her family were ill. This freaks out Sheldon because he is a germaphobe, and he ends up becoming ill. Leonard, Raj and Howard then hide away so they do not have to look after him, but it all backfires when Penny is forced to look after Sheldon in his apartment, and Leonard has to come home only to be spotted by her.

Answer: Fun With Flags

Sheldon retains the services of Amy to assist with the filming of his podcast series, which promises to "explore the dynamic world of vexillology", or the study of flags. "Fun and information are two sides to this video podcast, not unlike the only two-sided state flag - Oregon," Sheldon explains in the inaugural installment. "In future episodes, we'll answer some burning questions. What's the only non-rectangular flag? What animal appears most often on flags? What animal appears second most often on flags? And more." Later at work, Sheldon researches other interesting factoids about flags, and shares what he discovers with Raj. "The flags of Liechtenstein and Haiti were identical by coincidence, a fact that wasn't discovered until they competed against each other in the 1936 Olympics," Sheldon observes. "Thankfully their embarrassment was overshadowed by the rise of fascism." The episode ends with Sheldon dressed in Lederhosen and Amy dressed as a giant pretzel, filming what appears to be a Bavarian-themed episode of "Fun With Flags".

Answer: To get away from the guys after they deceived him

After returning from the guys' trip to the North Magnetic Pole in the second season's finale, Sheldon learned that the guys had used an electric can opener to fake the results of his experiments. According to Howard, when they didn't succeed he started acting like a "dictator". Sheldon then left Pasadena to stay at his mother's home, which he thought would last for the rest of his life. However, Mary Cooper is a devout Christian, and her believe in the biblical story creationism caused Sheldon to go back to Pasadena.

From Quiz "The Big Bang Theory": Cooperisms from Season 3

Answer: Chocolate

Penny and Leonard were in a relationship, which meant that she was spending a lot more time in Leonard and Sheldon's apartment. Sheldon used the increased access to Penny to implement tweaks to her personality, a process he termed as "sanding off the rough edges". He began offering Penny chocolate each time she exhibited behavior that he wanted to encourage, like when she offered to clear his dinner plate for him, and moved from his spot on the couch without having to be asked. Sheldon even started throwing pieces of chocolate from across the room for Penny to catch in her mouth, as if she were a trained seal. It didn't take long for Leonard to catch on to what Sheldon was up to. "You're using chocolate as positive reinforcement for what you consider correct behavior," Leonard said, visibly upset. "Sheldon, you can't train my girlfriend like a lab rat." Sheldon was quick to correct Leonard. "Actually," he replied, "it turns out I can."

Answer: Television

Kurt, Penny's ex-boyfriend, has Penny's TV and doesn't want to give it up. When Leonard and Sheldon see Kurt (who is tall and muscular) they return with no pants. Penny sees them come back to their apartment and when Penny realises what happens, she buys them all dinner.

From Quiz The Cooperisms of "The Big Bang Theory"

Answer: The end of the couch

In the pilot episode, Penny made the mistake of taking Sheldon's spot at the end of the couch when she was invited into Leonard and Sheldon's apartment for the first time. Sheldon had gotten into the habit of choosing where to sit based on variables such as cushion densities, airflow patterns and the dispersion of sunlight, and he did not appreciate being displaced from his pre-determined seat. The reason he liked that particular spot is best explained in his own words: "In the winter, that seat is close enough to the radiator to remain warm, and yet not so close as to cause perspiration. In the summer, it's directly in the path of a cross-breeze created by opening windows there and there. It faces the television at an angle that is neither direct, thus discouraging conversation, nor so far wide as to create a parallax distortion. I could go on but I think I've made my point."

From Quiz The Holiday Situations

Answer: A used dinner napkin

After Sheldon learned that Penny was indeed planning to give him a Christmas gift, he went with Raj and Howard on a quest to find the right gift for her. It was difficult for him to do that because he did not know what Penny was planning to give to him, and therefore, did not know its worth. Consequently, he purchased a variety of gift baskets containing bath items so that he could appropriately excuse himself after opening Penny's present, come back with the proper gift basket, and eventually return all the others to the store. As it turned out, Sheldon's saw Penny's gift of Leonard Nimoy's autographed soiled napkin as being priceless, and gave her all of the gift baskets he had brought home.

Answer: Leonard Nimoy

When he found out that he basically had the DNA of Leonard Nimoy, he was ecstatic that he could possibly grow his own Spock. Hence the outpouring (for him at least) of gratitude from him. Wil Wheaton is his arch nemesis, we haven't found out about Professor Proton yet, and Stephen Hawking can barely move.

From Quiz Season 9 Part 2

Answer: America

Sheldon tells Howard that he will make a great father because they both know what it's like to grow up without a father. Sheldon sings "America" to Bernadette because he believes the line "Land where my fathers died" will remind her of this fact. In reality, Bernadette seems confused by it.

From Quiz Season 9

Answer: He mocked her on Youtube

Sheldon wanted to continue "Fun With Flags" with Amy. He started doing the show with Amy and he wanted her to continue to be an integral part of the show. However, Amy was only doing it because she was Sheldon's girlfriend. After they broke up, she didn't want to do it anymore. So Sheldon continued it by himself and made a "Fun With Flags" using flag analogies to mock Amy. Amy came to Sheldon's apartment angrily demanding that he take it down. Sheldon deluded himself into thinking that her watching it meant she still wanted to be with him.

Answer: Off the street

In "The Infestation Hypothesis", Sheldon is actually complimentary of Penny's new chair until he discovers where it came from. "It aligns the lumbar, cradles the coccyx, bounces the buttocks," he informs Penny with approval. "Well, I'm glad you like it," Penny replies. "I still can't get over the fact someone just threw it away." These words land on Sheldon like a ton of bricks. "What?" he says, with a concerned look on his face. "Yeah," explains Penny, "it was just sitting on the street. I paid a homeless guy $10 just to help me get it up here." Sheldon springs out of the chair in fright. "Oh dear," he repeats, while simultaneously removing his sweater. "I've been sitting in garbage." Sheldon makes it his mission to get Penny to get rid of the "Chair of Death" but his efforts prove futile. He then impresses on Amy to intercede on his behalf. "I was hoping she might listen to you about the dangers of owning unhygienic furniture," he explains. "Sheldon," replies Amy, "just because you have a focus on the cleanliness bordering on the psychotic doesn't mean I have to participate." Sheldon asks Amy to name her price, so she tells him to kiss her where she's "never been kissed before", but the request is lost on Sheldon. "You mean like Salt Lake City?" Frustrated, Amy agrees to talk to Penny. While doing so, Amy is bitten by some animal that has made the chair its home, and the two girls run screaming out of the apartment and down the stairs. The episode ends with Howard and Raj claiming the chair from the street outside the building so that Raj will have somewhere to sit in Leonard and Sheldon's apartment.

Answer: Common field cricket

When Sheldon heard the cricket chirping, he believed it was a Snowy Tree Cricket. Howard thought that it was a Common Field Cricket.

After finding the cricket, with Raj's help, they took the cricket, which Howard nicknamed "Toby", to Caltech's entomologist. He identified the cricket as a Common field cricket, and Sheldon lost.

From Quiz The Holiday Situations

Answer: Leonard

Penny was quite dismayed when she heard that Leonard's mother, Beverly, would be visiting for the holidays because Leonard hadn't yet told his mom about their relationship. Could a respected psychologist accept the fact that her son was dating a waitress? To make matters worse, it was learned throughout the episode that Sheldon and Beverly had a closer relationship than Leonard and his mother, and that Sheldon was even aware of family events, such as the death of the family dog, that Leonard had not been told.
