->''"Okay, if you are going to question the importance of [[Creator/RobertDowneyJr an actor's]] signature on a plastic helmet from [[Film/IronMan a movie]] based on [[IronMan a comic book]] then ''our lives'' have no meaning!"''

*** As it turns out, said assistant is also just as nerdy as he is, and considers his knowledge of ''Star Wars'' trivia to be a GeekyTurnOn, and they end up dating and eventually moving in together.

* YourCheatingHeart: Her husband apparently left her for an undergrad student.

* NotSoDifferent: Raj bonds with him after realizing that Zack is a comic book aficionado (''Franchise/ArchieComics'', but still).

* {{Adorkable}}: In a way only Kate Micucci can pull off. She's extremely shy and awkward, but Raj genuinely likes her looks and personality. They spend one date night just texting, and both love it.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She receives a brutal one from Penny, who calls out her habit for bailing too quickly [[spoiler:in her relationship with Raj.]] Penny even flat-out calls her "a bad person."

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Is the tomboy to Bernadette's girly girl in one episode. Emily has a morbid sense of humour. In fact that she became a dermatologist because it's a line of work where she's allowed to cut people. Needless to say, Bernadette was a little creeped out when Emily shared this with her.

* TheThirdWheel: Considered as such by the main cast.

->'''Played by:''' Lauren Lapkus

* GeekyTurnOn: She was overtly impressed with Stuart's knowledge of Star Wars lore, even calling him sexy for it. [[spoiler:The two begin dating in Season 12.]]
* ProudToBeAGeek: She understands geek pop culture possibly more than any character on the show, and handles it with the same finesse as the other characters talk about science and math.
* SherlockScan: Was able to deduce Sheldon's preferences just from seeing his T-shirt, and recommended a lesser known comic based on that. Sheldon is suitably impressed, and they spent hours talking about comic books.

* PetTheDog: One episode begins with him presenting Amy with a bottle of wine for assisting him with a hypothesis on String Theory.

* HiddenDepths: He is a pretty talented artist.

* GenericGuy: A possible reason why he never got to become a potential eighth main character. His main trait is being unlucky and destitute, and he doesn't behave abnormally or chaotic.

* ICallItVera: Has a saw named “Terry Bradshaw”

* PutOnABus: He disappears from Season 2 and doesn't return.

* PutOnABus: He disappears from Season 3 and doesn't return.

* UnathleticNerd: In "The Rothman Disintegration", he and Sheldon compete over who gets a newly vacated office. Since they're not in equal terms intellectually, they then decide to compete on the one field they are equally bad at: sports.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Played with. The main group likes him well enough despite his awkwardness, but he is a geologist, which Sheldon holds in particular disdain. He asks Sheldon to help him on a project that blends physics and geology, which Sheldon agrees to but treats as an embarrassing thing he has to keep secret from the others.

* FatBastard: He's overweight and unpleasant to Howard.

* PerpetualPoverty: How little profit the comic book store makes has become Stuart's RunningGag. Among other things, he's mentioned having to sleep in the store, going without meat, and having to shower at Leonard and Sheldon's apartment.
