Added DiffLines:

* NeverMyFault: Sheldon fails to guess that Leonard is drawing a chocolate chip cookie even when it is increasingly obvious due to his ComplexityAddiction making him think it is something obscure and science related. When Penny gets it right, he blames Leonard due to him not drawing a glass of milk next to it and claims Penny only got it right because he already eliminated all the "obvious" answers.

Added DiffLines:

* HollywoodBoardGames: Sheldon's ComplexityAddiction causes him and Leonard to epically lose a game of ''Pictionary'' against Penny and Amy. He is an InsufferableGenius so, of course, he'd insist on drawing (and thinking clues drawings are about) depictions of advanced Physics concepts or Science History obscure trivia. It's not for a lack of knowledge that Leonard fails to figure out what the hell Sheldon is trying to illustrate but because the latter's drawings resemble more mundane objects.
