History Characters / TheBigBangTheory

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Underneath the arguing she does actually care about the well being of Howard and the others. When she got food poisoning, the first thing she wanted to do was see if Bernadette was alright, because she went to the same restaurant with her.

* HandsomeLech: How he sees himself, although really he's a CasanovaWannabe.

* HandsomeLech: When drunk.

* InSeriesNickname: "Raj" is his nickname and is used more often than his actual first name.

-->'''Sheldon:''' Today is not about you! Today is about Howard and Bernadette and [[ItsAllAboutMe me]]!

* FirstKiss: Sheldon and Amy kiss for the first time in "The Locomotive Manipulation" (Season 7, episode 15). They both enjoy it.

** His grandmother calls him "Moon Pie".

* WellDoneSonGuy: Tries to prove himself as a brilliant scintist to his cold mothe. Doesn't help that Sheldon has a closer relationship with her and that she somewhat admitted his siblings' success, but she treats Leonard as some kind of scientific experiment.

* PapaWolf: In "The Hesitation Ramification", Penny got a small part in an ''Series/NCIS'' episode. After it was cut, there's a scene with her talking to Wyatt on the phone, assuring Wyatt that no, he doesn't need to fly down and kick Mark Harmon's ass.

->'''Played by''': Johnny Galecki

--> ''Twelve years after high school and I'm still at the nerd table...''

-->'''Leonard:''' ''Sorry Alex hit on me, hit on me, hit on me,''\\
''Sorry Alex hit on me,''\\
''I had no idea I'm cute.'' *goofy grin*\\
'''Penny:''' ({{Beat}}) ''Damn it, you ''are'' cute''.

'''Alex''' (stunned): I'm... pretty sure...\\
'''Leonard''': ({{Beat}}) Hahahahaha! I gotta get back to work, thanks for listening.\\
'''Alex''': (disappointed) No problem.\\

--> '''Penny:''' (to Sheldon) Leonard and I are in a relationship, and occasionally we're gonna fight. But no matter what happens between us, we will always love you. Right, Leonard?\\
'''Leonard:''' (apprehensive) "Always" is a ''long'' time. (they stare at him) Sure, always.

->'''Played by''' Creator/JimParsons

--> ''I don't understand why in this group [[BlatantLies I never get my way.]]''

-->'''Sheldon:''' (drunk off his ass and about Amy) Ain't she great?
-->'''Amy:''' (Embarrassed but flattered) Sheldon....
-->'''Sheldon:''' Now hows about you get us a couple of beers? *smacks her on the butt*

* {{Asexuality}}: Sheldon is conspicuously uninterested in romance, and is one of those rare TV characters whose asexuality is made more or less explicit in-universe.
-->'''Penny:''' I know this is none of my business, but I just... I have to ask: what's Sheldon's deal? Is it girls...? Guys...? Sock puppets...?\\

--> '''Leonard:''' I can't believe you're going to have Howard choose between sex and ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}!''\\

---> '''Raj:''' What did you do? Did you change the contrast or brightness settings on the television?
---> '''Leonard:''' No.
---> '''Raj:''' Did you take a Band-Aid off in front of him?
---> '''Leonard:''' No.
---> '''Howard:''' Did you buy generic ketchup, forget to rinse the sink, talk to him through the bathroom door?
---> '''Raj:''' Adjust the thermostat, cook with cilantro, pronounce the T in often?
---> '''Leonard:''' No!
---> ''({{Beat}})''
---> '''Howard:''' ...Did you ''make fun of trains?''

--->'''Penny''': What's wrong with Goofy?
--->'''Leonard''': Beats me... he's fine with [[WesternAnimation/PlutoThePup Pluto]].

--->"You want me to share credit?"\\
"Yes."\\
"[[GetOut GET OUT.]]"

'''Sheldon:''' ''*sigh*'' I'm sorry, I'm not renting this room out to hippies.\\

-->'''Sheldon:''' Why would I see her again? I have a dentist. "

--> '''Sheldon''': *''Karate-chops Leonard''* She is NOT for you!

--> '''Leonard''': Sheldon, how could you sit there and let [Howard and Raj] watch my date with Penny?
--> '''Sheldon''': They were clever, Leonard. They took advantage of my complete lack of interest in what they were doing.

(Silence for a second and then the three guys start laughing).

-->''"I have never said that you [Howard] are not good at what you do. It's just that what you do [Engineering] is not worth doing."''

-->"It's not a touch phobia, it's a germ phobia. If you'd like to go put on a pair of latex gloves, I'll let you check me for a hernia. "
* [[SheCleansUpNicely He Cleans Up Nicely]]:

* [[HenpeckedHusband Henpecked Boyfriend]]: After a fight with Amy, he has decided to be one to avoid major fights in the future. So when Amy tells [[spoiler:Levar Burton]] he's a worse actor than [[spoiler:Wil Wheaton]] Sheldon tells the former while he may not actually think so, he must agree with Amy. [[spoiler:Levar]] understands completely. This does not normally occur, as he is mostly the dominant one in their relationship.

'''Sheldon:''' <Pause> I don't follow you.

-->''"He doesn't understand when he's being mean because that part of his brain is getting a wedgie from the rest of his brain."''

* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: Sheldon is such a ChildProdigy, that he entered college at age 11 and graduated with honours at 14. He has devoted pretty much his entire life to research since then, and this may have contributed to his lack of rudimentary social skills (such as not gloating at a judge) and his overall inability to deal with the mundane world (germophobia for instance).

--> "No one calls me Moon-Pie but Meemaw!"

* SuperOCD: Don't sit on his favorite couch cushion, you'll smush it out of shape. A good example is when the cushion that was "his spot" on the sofa was stained and he spent the time in which the cushion was being cleaned slowly going crazy, eventually going to the point where he was crouching over the spot where he used to sit. Howard tries to solve the problem by grabbing Rajesh's cushion and placing it in Sheldon's spot. Rajesh starts to complain, giving us:
-->'''Howard:''' Who cares where you sit? ''You are not crazy!''

-->'''Sheldon:''' These shrimp are all the same size, there's no logical order to eat them in. [chucks them into the garbage can]

'''Sheldon''': I'm not trying to help! *''Smirks''*

* WithFriendsLikeThese

->'''Played by''' Kaley Cuoco

-->You know where I was all afternoon? Auditioning with 50 other blondes for an anti-depressant commercial... They said I was too perky...

* ClosetGeek: Becomes one as the series goes on, to the point of watching the ''Film/StarTrek'' movie before one of the guys and getting into an intense argument with the girls over [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor's hammer]]. She does deny a lot of her geekiness once assuring Amy there was no difference between Star Trek and Star Wars despite it being clear she knew otherwise. She does openly admit to liking ''Series/GameOfThrones'' watching it on her own without Leonard urging her
-->"Nah I like that show. It's got dragons and people doing it"

* EmbarrassingTattoo: Penny has one on her buttock she claims is the Chinese symbol for "Courage". According to Sheldon, it actually means "Soup".
-->'''Sheldon:''' But I suppose it does take courage to demonstrate that kind of commitment to soup.

-->'''Leonard:''' "Are we just going to pretend this isn't a big deal?"\\
'''Penny:''' "...That's exactly what we are going to do, because... (tearing up) you're about to make me cry. And we both know if I start crying, ''you're'' going to start crying!"\\
'''Leonard:''' (tearing up as well) "Yeah, you'd better go."

-->'''Penny:''' ''I didn't know what else to do. He had those big, sad eyes.''\\
'''Bernadette:''' ''[[SarcasmMode Yes, of course, you had no choice]]?''

--> '''Penny:''' It's six thirty in the morning! *slams door*\\

--->''(to Raj)'': You're missing the point! A Shiksa goddess is not an actual goddess. We pray ''on'' them, not ''to'' them.

-->'''Leonard''': Glasses? I really don't think that's gonna change *Penny puts them on* ''oh my God, you look so smart and hot!''
-->'''Penny''': I know, right? Watch this. *lowers glasses sexily* ''Molecules.''
-->(Leonard leads her towards his bedroom)
-->'''Penny''': Where are we going?
-->'''Leonard''': To my bedroom so I can take everything off but those glasses. And maybe the boots!

'''Penny:''' (quickly) No!

->'''Played by''' Simon Helberg

--> ''The way I see it, I'm halfway to pity sex.''

--> '''Howard:''' Where are you going sweetheart?
--> '''Bernadette:''' [Wolowitz voice.] TO THE TOILET!!!! IS THAT OK WITH YOU?!!
--> -everyone but Howard reacts in surprise.-
--> '''Howard:''' Is it me or does she sound sexy when she's angry?

->'''Played by''' Kunal Nayyar

-->Excuse me! I have selective mutism, a recognized medical disorder. You're just a douche.

* AmbiguouslyBi: He is the go-to guy for the HomoeroticSubtext, but even then the only guys he exhibits that behavior around tend to [[HeterosexualLifePartners be close friends he feels comfortable around]]. Most of the time he recognizes that something he says [[ThatCameOutWrong came out sounding weird or effeminate]], but other times he is completely unaware of the InnocentInnuendo. By and large it's clear he is attracted to women (why else would he clam up in their presence?) it's just filtered through his personality quirks "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Dance number aside, I'm SO not gay]]."
--> '''Raj (to Howard)''': Last night, I had a dream, we got so rich from the app we made, you and I bought matching side by side mansions. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything But, there was a secret tunnel connecting your front yard to my back yard.]] [[FreudWasRight What do you think it means?]]\\
'''Howard''': It means next time we play handball, I'm showering at home.\\
and\\
(''While playing TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'') "The first ogre I see, I'm gonna run up behind him, whip out my wand, and blast my magic all over his ass!"

-->'''Raj:''' [completely out of nowhere] I'm thinking about adopting some sort of quirky affectation like a pipe or a monocle or a handlebar mustache.\\

* EverythingIsRacist: Interpretes many comments as racist and insulting to his Indian identity.
-->"Did you have to make me sound like a ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Simpsons]]'' character!"

--->'''Leonard:''' Let me try one! Calling Mcflono Mcfloonyloo!
--->'''Cell phone:''' Calling... Rajesh Koothrappali.
--->'''Rajesh:''' Impressive! ...and a little racist.

---> '''Raj''': That's very offensive.
---> '''Howard''': Yeah, we thought so too.

--->'''Raj''': Spiders give me the jeebie jeebies.
--->'''Howard''': It’s heebie jeebies.
--->'''Raj''': I know, but that sounds anti-Semitic.

--> ''Oh, great! The first monster I see, I'm gonna sneak in behind him, whip out my wand, and blast my magic all over his ass!''

->'''Played by''' Mayim Bialik

-->Aw, it's the alcohol and drug peer pressure my mother warned me about, I was beginning to think it was never going to happen. Yes please!

* AmbiguouslyBi: Though her interest in males has developed a bit since her initial appearance, she's ''very'' appreciative of Penny and fawns over her more than any other character seen in the show thus far. She's made a few sparse comments of the same type about Bernadette as well. For an example she gave Penny a ''very'' large painting of the two of them, and told her that it originally had the two of them ''nude'' but she had it changed as she didn't want it to "challenge their heterosexuality".

-->"Today is not about you! Today is about Howard and Bernadette and [[ItsAllAboutMe me]]!"

--->'''Amy''': Bernadette, I want to thank you for allowing me to be your maid of honour. I also want you to know, that I will be happy to do it again if this marriage craps out.
--->'''Leonard''': [[DeadpanSnarker Thank you, Amy. Very touching.]]

->'''Played by''' Melissa Rauch

-->I remember the first time I looked through a microscope and saw millions of tiny micro-organisms. It was like a whole other universe. And if I wanted to I could wipe it out with my thumb like a god!

-->"''I'm the one who had your car towed!''"

-->'''Howard's Mom:''' (regarding a custom made vest) She has a tricky figure, she's short and ''stacked'' like me!

-->'''Bernadette''': I've never seen you wear this dress, it's adorable!
-->'''Penny''': That's because on me, it's a shirt.

--->'''Bernadette''': So Amy, what are you gonna be working on at Cal Tech?
--->'''Amy''': I'm leading a study to see if deficiency of the monoamine oxidase enzyme leads to paralyzing fear in monkeys.
--->'''Bernadette''': Well, if they're anything like humans, the answer's yes.
--->'''Amy''': Wait, you've...you've done this experiment on humans?
--->'''Bernadette''': [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial You mean like death row inmates with nothing to lose? No, that would be unethical.]]

--->'''Bernadette''': Why are you being a baby?
--->'''Howard''': I’m not a baby. I’m a grown man, and I made the bed. Now where’s my star?

->'''Played by''' Laurie Metcalf

->"Leonard, the Lord never gives us more than we can handle. Thankfully, He blessed me with two other children who are dumb as soup."

->'''Played by''' Christine Baranski

-->Excuse me Leonard, '''I am''' the one getting a divorce, Mitsy is the one who is dead, why are '''you''' the one making a fuss?

* LackOfEmpathy: For a good example, take note of the quote.

->'''Voiced by''' Carol Ann Susi

-->"TOO BUSY TO HELP YOUR MOM WITH HER ZIPPER?"

--> She's short and stacked, like me.
--> Not like you, Ma, she never steps on hers!

---> '''Leonard:''' To Mrs. Wolowitz, a loving mother...to all of us.

->'''Played by''' Brian George and Alice Amter

-->'''Mrs. Koothrappali:''' Rajesh, are you letting your sister date that little Howard boy?
-->'''Dr. Koothrappali:''' Now, hold on. If she is dating an American, that's not a bad way to go. He's Jewish. Those chaps are very successful, and they don't drink a lot.

* PhraseCatcher: Raj's father has one associated with him, whenever Raj claims to have grown up poor;
--> ''"Your father's a gynaecologist. He drives a Bentley!"''

->'''Played by''' Courtney Henggeler

->"You listen to me. If you wanna start acting like a brother who cares about me, then terrific. Bring it on. But you try one time to tell me who I should be sleeping with, and you and I are gonna go round and round the way we did when we were little. ''Remember''?"

-->"Oh, he once spent nine months with my legs wrapped around his head."

->'''Played by''' Aarti Mann

-->''I have five brothers and sisters. One of them is bound to screw up real big and'' then ''I'll tell my parents about you.''

->'''Played by''' Casey Sander

-->''Of course. A pretty girl like Bernadette, she'll find a new guy.''

->'''Played by''' Keith Carradine
-->''I want grandkids before I die and I want them to grow up in a house without wheels.''

->'''Played by''' Kevin Sussman

-->"Okay, if you are going to question the importance of [[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!"

->'''Played by''' Sara Gilbert

-->You put electrodes in a rat's brain and give him an orgasm button he will press that thing until he starves to death.

->'''Played by''' John Ross Bowie

-->"We're ''all'' pathetic and cweepy and can't get girls. That's why we battle wobots."

---> ''If any of you need my nose, you will find it firmwy wodged in the collwective wectums of the tenure committee.''

->'''Played by''' Brian Smith

-->"I was watching the DiscoveryChannel and they said if you cut a Starfish in half it will just come back to life."

'''Zack:''' (Genuinely confused) [[LogicBomb Then who are you talking to?]] ...babe?

->'''Played by''' Vernée Watson
-->''I'm sorry, we don't have a code for "robot hand grasping a man's penis."''

-->'''Howard:''' What if I were to introduce you to ''(holds up bill)'' the man who freed your people?\\

->'''Played by''' Creator/WilWheaton

-->"Don't worry, it [being Sheldon's mortal enemy] doesn't take up too much of your time."

->'''Played by''' Margo Harshman

--> "All I know is that corduroy makes too much noise. If you'll excuse me I have to go find quieter pants."

->'''Played by''' Kate Micucci

->'''Played By''' Regina King

->'''Played by''' Bob Newhart
-->"If I had known people would be calling me "Professor Proton" into my 80's, I wouldn't have quit smoking."

->'''Played by''' Laura Spencer

--> '''Sheldon:''' Buh-buh-but there has to be a mistake! I don't make mathematical errors!
--> '''Hawking''': Are you saying that ''I'' do?

--> "What do Sheldon Cooper and a black hole have in common?…They both suck….{{Beat}}…neener, neener."

* BerserkButton: Make that several buttons, according to Bernadette: In order, JimmyCarter, gardeners, foreign people, homosexuals, Sean Penn, the Second Vatican Council, gun control, organic food, the designated hitter rule, recycling, and his daughter marrying a Jew.

* QueerPeopleAreFunny: She's the go-to girl for when the gay jokes turn lesbian, in Season 5 she would make a remark towards Penny OnceAnEpisode. This was almost eliminated outright in Season 6. However it made a resugance in Season 8.

* AnnoyingPatient: Sheldon suffers from severe social ineptitude, as well as mild hypochondria, making him an absolutely awful person to have around when he becomes sick.

* PutOnABus: Her appearances decrease rapidly once Amy and Bernadette join the cast as regulars. When Leonard turns up at her apartment in Season 5 he mentions that they hadn't spoken in a while, possibly [[JustifiedTrope justifying]] her absence, as it implies that she might have left the university for a new job (since they were lab-mates in the first couple of seasons and would have seen each other at work even if they didn't socialise any more).

* AccidentalHero: On multiple occasions. For instance, he stopped Leonard from giving up the secrets to the experimental rocket fuel to a spy posing as his date, by barging in and complaining about them trying to sleep together without warning him 24 hours in advance, as their roommate agreement required.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Leonard. Leonard fell for Penny in the Pilot, but Penny was not interested in him. They kiss for the first time in the episode "The Middle-Earth Paradigm" (Season 1, episode 6), but in the same episode Leonard turns down the drunken advances of Penny. Leonard finds the courage to ask her out in the season finale "The Tangerine Factor" (Season 1, episode 17). They go on their date in the episode "The Bad Fish Paradigm" (Season 2, episode 1), but Penny fears she is not smart enough to her. When he seems to confirm her fears, they end their relationship. In the season finale "The Monopolar Expedition" (Season 2, episode 23), Leonard leaves for a three-month long expedition to the North Pole. Penny wants to say that she loves him, but CannotSpitItOut before he actually leaves. They have a happy reunion in "The Electric Can Opener Fluctuation" (Season 3, episode 1), and have sex for the first time. They are a reluctant couple for much of the season, breaking up in "The Wheaton Recurrence" (Season 3, episode 19). After realizing that she can't go back to dating dumb guys, an angry Penny has sex with Leonard again in the season finale "The Lunar Excitation" (Season 3, episode 23). In Season 4, the two are no longer dating. They pretend to be back together in the episode "The Boyfriend Complexity" (Season 4, episode 9), only to please her father Wyatt. They sleep in the same hotel bed in "The Love Car Displacement" (Season 4, episode 13) and almost have sex. But Raj enters their hotel room to sleep, ensuring that nothing sexual happens. They start dating again in the episode "The Recombination Hypothesis" (Season 5, episode 13). Leonard proposes marriage in "The Launch Acceleration" (Season 5, episode 23), but Penny turns him down. They date throughout Season 6, though Penny has doubts about their relationship. Leonard proposes marriage in "The Tangible Affection Proof" (Season 6, episode 16), but Penny again turns him down. They continue dating in Season 7. Penny proposes marriage in the episode "The Hesitation Ramificatio" (Season 7, episode 12), but Leonard turns her down. Penny proposes marriage twice in the episode "The Proton Transmogrification" (Season 7, episode 22), but Leonard turns her down both times. They finally get engaged in the episode "The Gorilla Dissolution" (Season 7, episode 23). As of Season 8, the marriage is postponed until her brother is released from prison and able to attend.

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Feminine Boy to Penny's Masculine Girl.

* {{Angrish}}: Reduced to this at the end of "The Itchy Brain Simulation".

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Towards Sheldon.

* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: She treated Leonard almost [[LikeBrotherAndSister like a brother]] in the first season, despite kissing him a few times in addition to some mild flirting. Yet, when he mustered the courage to ask her out in the finale, she seemed surprised that he was interested in her, and only then started to consider him as someone date-able. When they get back together in Season 5 and started their relationship beta-test, she would swing back and forth from a very casual JustFriends relationship to suggesting they make-out to pass the time when the power went out, which Leonard caught on and even joked about. Early Season 6, she confessed to Amy and Bernadette that she was worried about leading him on and was almost ready to break up to avoid hurting him again, only to be swayed by his PuppyDogEyes and they finally had sex again.
--->'''Penny:''' ''I didn't know what else to do. He had those big, sad eyes.''\\

* {{Meganekko}}: She once donned some glasses to help her [[SmartPeopleWearGlasses look smart]] and started saying random science terms like "Molecules." The resultant look [[GeekyTurnOn drove Leonard crazy]].

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The Dark to Bernadette's Light. Penny is the more seductive of the two, more sexually experienced, and has a more noticeable temper. Bernadette is less overtly flirtatious, has a more stable love life, and she is slower to anger. (Though Bernadette can be more intimidating as seen in [[TheBigBangTheory/SeasonEight Season 8]]). They are close friends.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Even more so then Sheldon at times, although she is more outgoing.

* AttentionWhore: ...would hardly begin to describe her.

* ChastityCouple: With Sheldon, much to her dismay. Inititally they agreed there would be no physical relationship, but over time Amy developed into wanting one. While Sheldon has no interest in it (and doesn't recognise certain behavior, like helping her bathe and rubbing VapoRub on her chest is arousing to her) he has admitted to her and others that she influenced him and ''he'' considers theirs a deeply intimate relationship even if they aren't physical.

* InsufferableGenius: In the early seasons, she was a toned-down version of Sheldon, and thus wouldn't hesitate to tell you the brutal details of how the universe or neurobiology worked. As of the sixth season, though, her insufferability has nearly vanished, especially in her almost ... ''normal'' boyfriend-girlfriend complaints with Sheldon.

* HiddenDepths: There are a few occasions when she surprises even herself with retaining scientific principles, thought experiments and nerd culture just from hanging around these guys. She memorably did a double-take after using a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' analogy. She started to freak ''herself'' out when she got all the references at the guys' "Star Wars Day Breakfast" on May 4th.

* HiddenDepths: Has something of a fratboy personality and often crude and obnoxious but is every bit a genius as the rest of the cast. When competing for tenure he also turns up the charm and is apparently great with kids.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Leonard. Leonard fell for Penny in the Pilot, but Penny was not interested in him. They kiss for the first time in the episode "The Middle-Earth Paradigm" (Season 1, episode 6), but in the same episode Leonard turns down the drunken advances of Penny. Leonard finds the courage to ask her out in the season finale "The Tangerine Factor" (Season 1, episode 17).

Penny proposes marriage twice in the episode "The Proton Transmogrification" (Season 7, episode 22), but Leonard turns her down both times. They finally get engaged in the episode "The Gorilla Dissolution" (Season 7, episode 23). As of Season 8, the marriage is postponed until her brother is released from prison and able to attend.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Bernadette is in her thirties and she still get's mistaken for a child. One kid even calling her a "mean kid with huge boobies".

** She gets very angry when she sees someone hurting her friends.
