Context YMMV / Sheldon

Go To

1* HarsherInHindsight: There's a bit where Sheldon buys the ''Star Wars'' franchise and hires Joss Whedon to direct. Joss Whedon says they need to kill Han and Luke to give the story more momentum. Sheldon freaks out, fires him, and looks for Steven Spielberg. The third ''Star Wars'' trilogy went very dark by [[spoiler:killing Han, Luke, ''and'' Leia in every subsequent movie]].
2* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
3** [[http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/051225.html Sheldon receiving Oso for Christmas]] manages to be both this AND a [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Funny Moment]].
4** [[http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/091226.html "You guys are the BEST."]]
5** [[http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/170322.html Flaco is having trouble sleeping]]. Fortunately, Arthur knows what to do...
6** [[http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/171124.html Friends, are you stressed? Overworked? Tired?]] Have you tried... HUGGING A DOG?
7** [[http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/171225.html Merry Christmas]]!
8* HilariousInHindsight:
9** [[http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/080511.html This strip]] is even funnier now that there actually have been movies released about {{Film/Captain America|TheFirstAvenger}}, {{Film/Doctor Strange|2016}} and Film/AntMan1. And contrary to what Sheldon seems to think, all of them were massive box office successes.
10** One early strip has Arthur [[ConeOfShame having to wear what he calls a]] "[[WesternAnimation/{{Up}} cone of shame]]".
11** One storyline has Sheldon having to deal with a [[TheBully bully]] named Leonard. Sheldon and Leonard. [[Series/TheBigBangTheory Think about it for a second.]]
12* SeasonalRot: Over the years, the "billionaire boy genius" aspect has been phased out, and the comic basically became a mouthpiece for Dave Kellet's complaints and observations about modern life.
13** As one webcomic critic has pointed out, the staticness of the characters in the later years (or throughout the strip's existence, YMMV) is not necessarily a bad thing, as they're well-rounded, interesting, and funny, which is pretty much all a simple gag-a-day strip of this sort needs. The humor in the strip has changed from nerdy and newspaper comic-like to more philosophical ponderings.
