** In "The Psychic Vortex" Raj and Sheldon managed to acquire dates with intelligent and slightly geeky girls (one being played by [[Series/TheWonderYears Danica McKeller]]) named Abby and Martha, and even got a second date shortly after. What made these girls really unique was that the ice-breaker was Sheldon carrying Franchise/GreenLantern's power battery at a party and ''they [[GeekyTurnOn fully knew what it was]];'' they ended up playing ''VideoGame/RockBand'' back at Sheldon's apartment. Not to mention that Sheldon even appeared to enjoy talking with Martha (discussing ''Literature/{{Flatland}}'' among other things) with Raj and Abby making out on the chair. It can be assumed that Sheldon's asexual nature really disappointed Martha, and that took Abby away from Raj. But these were girls who could relate to them in interests, intelligence and were attracted to them ''because'' of it (not even Penny can really claim that with Leonard), so with no follow up episode it almost seems to be a waste.

** In the episode "The Launch Acceleration", Leonard surprises Penny by bringing her an unnamed gas (likely sulfur hexafluoride), filling up a balloon with it, and asking her to try breathing some of it in. She quickly realizes its effects when she starts speaking:
--->'''Penny:''' ''(in a very deep voice)'' So what is this supposed to -- ''oh my god'', that is so freaky!
** In "The Vengeance Formulation", [[TheRival Kripke]] pranks Sheldon while the latter is partaking in a radio interview by secretly pumping helium into his room. Sheldon tries to make it through a scientific lecture, only to find his voice [[HeliumSpeech pitching up to "cartoon character" territory]].

* WokenUpAtAnUngodlyHour: Sheldon is prone to bother people in the middle of the night when something is obsessing him. Some examples:
** In "The Pancake Batter Anomaly", being sick has made Sheldon [[AnnoyingPatient extra annoying]], so Leonard calls Howard late at night to warn him that Sheldon is at "Code Milky Green." The phone also wakes up Howard's mother, who bellows "[[NoIndoorVoice WHO'S CALLING AT THIS UNGODLY HOUR?!]]" In the middle of Leonard's call, Howard gets another call from Sheldon, asking for soup. Howard pretends to be his mother and also gives him the "ungodly hour" line.
** In "The Earworm Reverberation", Sheldon wakes up Leonard and Penny in the middle of the night by playing a song on the keyboard because it's stuck in his head and is driving him crazy. Penny goes to his room and breaks the keyboard. Unfortunately, Sheldon just switches to a tuba.
** In "[[Recap/TheBigBangTheoryS2E3TheBarbarianSublimation The Barbarian Sublimation]]", Sheldon gets a taste of his own medicine when an MMO-addicted Penny (who became a night owl so she could play the game more) barges into his room in the middle of the night to wake him up, just so she can ask him for tips. Given his SuperOCD, he's not only frustrated about being woken up, but at having her in his room ''at all''.

* TeamKids: Leonard and Penny frequently take up the TeamDad and TeamMom roles in the group, especially, though not exclusively, with Sheldon. In fact, on one episode after the pair had temporarily broken up, they had arguments over Sheldon that were intended to mirror parents fighting over shared custody of a child after a divorce, including taking Sheldon to Disneyland on an outing. In an earlier instance, when Leonard and Penny are fighting over one of her friends staying at her place, Sheldon responds as though his parents were fighting (even referring to a fight between his actual parents), and Penny placates him by having Leonard buy him a toy robot and a comic book.
