* AmusingInjuries: Sheldon goes through a series of them throughout "The Geology Elevation." First, he drops a rock on his foot while trying to throw it. After this, he hurts his ''other'' foot by kicking it. Then, he falls and hits his head on a water fountain while trying to punch it, but slipping on the wet floor.

* BrickJoke: In the cafeteria, Bert tells his colleagues the story of how when they called him and told him he'd won, he didn't believe them, but when they said they were actually serious he did. When walking up the stairs with Amy, Sheldon, and Leonard, Penny tells it again, because she heard it on the radio.



* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Howard shops around a Stephen Hawking remote control toy to see if others consider it offensive. Bernadette, Raj, Amy and Leonard all think it is, but it's Barry Kripke (who also wants to drive it into the women's restroom) thinking it's hilarious that convinces Howard that it is offensive.
