* LaserGuidedKarma: Sheldon when Leonard refuses to take him to Switzerland mainly because he's a crappy person and a roommate to Leonard. Then, Leonard states he would rather go to Switzerland alone rather than take Sheldon because the latter's been a crappy roommate to him for multiple years now and he wants the Switzerland trip to be a break from Sheldon, with or without Penny.

* ValentinesDayEpisode

-->'''Sheldon:''' This game is called "Traitors." I will name three historical figures, you put them in order of the heinousness of their betrayal: [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution Benedict Arnold]], [[Literature/TheFourGospels Judas]], Dr. Leonard Hofstadter.\\

* FoodAsBribe: Sheldon tries luring Leonard into taking him to Switzerland by giving him a breakfast of orange juice, coffee and pancakes shaped like [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Frodo]] (Coconut shavings for his feet hair, butterscotch scone) and then bribes him again with cholermus, which is of course a Swiss type of pancake. * {{Hypocrite}}: After Sheldon makes Penny make them both soup while she is sick like him and begins pestering her on the details, he tells her not to be mean when she snaps at him, saying he is sick. Penny reminds him she is sick too, and he dismisses it as not being his problem.

* BittersweetEnding: Penny is sick, Sheldon is sick and although Leonard avoided getting sick and made it to Switzerland in a luxury hotel room, he didn't want to be alone there and reluctantly took [[spoiler: Raj]] with him to Switzerland.

* BittersweetEnding: Penny is sick, Sheldon is sick, Leonard reluctantly takes [[spoiler: Raj]] with him to Switzerland, Howard is still able to enjoy Valentine's Day with Bernadette and rub it in Raj's face.

* AlienAmongUs: Penny jokes Sheldon must be this, as he is spying on humans to report intel back to his superior. Her sarcasm is so off-putting and poorly delivered even Sheldon can tell she was just kidding.

* EntitledBastard: Sheldon feels he is entitled to go to Switzerland with Leonard and see the supercollider there because he is Leonard's roommate. He begins using every underhanded tactic he can think of to get Leonard to change his mind, including bullying Leonard, bribing him, and trying to guilt Penny into telling Leonard to take him. Each attempt just makes Leonard more frustrated until he tells Sheldon he would rather go alone than take him. Sheldon then threatens Leonard that if he doesn't take him they won't be friends anymore, not that Leonard cares since Sheldon has always been a crappy friend anyway.

* TheBully: Howard to Raj for mocking his loneliness and lack of girlfriend.

** Also Penny when she makes fun of Leonard's lactose intolerance saying that him eating all the Swiss cheese is going to make him explode and she can use him as a ride.
* CrazyPrepared: Sheldon's Roommate Agreement actually did make specific regulations for Leonard in case he got invited to Geneva, Switzerland to see the Large Hadron Collider - not that Leonard gives two shits about it. The Roommate Agreement is meaningless because it's not enforceable law.

* NeverMyFault: Sheldon blames Penny for Leonard refusing to take him to Switzerland. If it weren't obvious enough, it's Sheldon's own fault for mistreating, bullying, exploiting, exhausting, insulting Leonard.
* [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "The Reason You Suck" Powerpoint Presentation]]: Sheldon shows one to Penny.
* ThrowTheDogABone: The writers do this to Raj after torturing the ''hell'' out of him for most of the episode by breaking his heart with loneliness on Valentine's Day to making him Leonard's guest to Switzerland.

* AlienAmongUs: Penny jokes Sheldon must be this, as he is spying on humans to report intel back to his superior. Her sarcasm is so off-putting and lame that even Sheldon can tell she was just kidding.
