The Big Bang Theory 5x9- The Ornithophobia Diffusion Reaction!

[@DonnaPinciot]

1:36 Huh, I wonder if Sheldon's fear of nets came about in the robbery episode, when he was caught in the electrified security net?

[@Cardioligist]

That’s exactly what i thought lol

[@dylanshadowstar9779]

Agoraphobia is a serious mental disability. It's a fear or open spaces. In some extreme cases leads to someone being unable to leave their own home for fear of the outside world

[@JJ-is6gn]

My grandpa died because of his agoraphobia

This was me when I was little

If you’ve ever seen a cassowary, fear of birds is perfectly reasonable 😂

[@vkdeen7570]

for sure. emu's and ostriches too. hell if u've ever seen a big angery rooster 🐓👎

[@dboslice]

I empathized with Sheldon a lot in this episode. Ever since I was a kid, I was always terrified of birds and still is, I'm not going to lie. Not small birds like a blue jay or robin, but big birds like Ostriches, Geese, Pelicans, Peacocks, and even a flock of Seagulls. Idk what it is, they just creep the hell out of me lmao. Also, this was actually my favorite episode from Leonard, because he finally had some backbone against Penny. There was only a few times where he did that and if only he did that in every episode, he would have my full respect as a character 💯

[@kateorgera5907]

I mean, listen, large birds can do some damage. Geese and swans can be aggressive when aroused, and seagulls are absolute vultures, just with snack goods instead of remains. Me personally, I'm creeped out by city pigeons. As the descendants of dinosaurs, a healthy caution around birds is actually fairly reasonable, though as always Sheldon takes things to extremes and does not deal with his fears very well.

[@dboslice]

@@kateorgera5907 I actually don't have a problem with city pigeons because to me, they mind their own business, at least. I'm sure all birds do, but you just have those fearless ones like Crows, Hawks, Falcons, and it's just savage lol. I just get uncomfortable knowing they can fly over my head and when they crap, that's just disrespectful to the max. Sheldon definitely had a right to be afraid and when he said that: "Every year, tens of people around the world are killed by birds," I don't know how true that is, but I know its possible and that terrifies me even more.

Penny invites Lenard and states its not a date, but still wants him to pay??

[@worldpeace6322]

She's unreasonable for that, it's true. Another thing she did wrong was to condone guys being confident and cocky. That's a terrible trait which only increases the toxic masculinity

[@zackstoner4523]

@@worldpeace6322 I think confidence is a good thing and people of all gender and sexual orientation are drawn to. However being cocky and arrogant is not a good trait. I dont believe in this toxic masculine behavior. When people refuse toxic femininity. Its not equality if you refuse to extend it to both genders. Toxic Femininity wich is what Penny exuding this entire episode.

[@worldpeace6322]

@@zackstoner4523 I нате confidence. If a guy comes up to me and acts all confident, I'll reject him so hard. That's literally the opposite of attractive

[@zackstoner4523]

@@worldpeace6322 Ok and that is fine. However its more common statisticly to find confidence attractive.

[@zackstoner4523]

@@worldpeace6322 Well it take confidence to walk up to a stranger and make a talk to someone or make a move. If you will reject him so hard. Then your confident enough to reject someone. Soo.... I just dont quite understand what you mean. Not being a jerk im curious what you mean. I think perhaps we just have different definitions of confidence is all.

Thank you! I was thinking the whole time I have never seen a blue jay that big OR with a long tail like that.

a massive ass ostrich jumped on me from my grandma's relatives farm roof when i was little, and chased me around for i dont know how long. yeah, traumatized little kid can lead to a shit ton of issues with the most random environments when u grow up.

[@TheMaskedChef7]

Hey Eric, please consider doing two episodes in one video.

[@andysmith1771]

It does feel really short it will be way more enjoyable with at least two back to back episodes, tbh feeling abit uncomfortable about how it's one at a time the stretching is unnecessary 😅

[@winesquivel8245]

He already said before that he could only do 1 episode a week. I don't think he would increase it to 2.

[@CraigKostelecky]

Think of it this way: our journey watching him see this series will take twice as long :)

[@reysgotplans5005]

@@winesquivel8245 I do appreciate that but isn't that because other videos are being uploaded throughout the week? I'd much rather longer episodes of this and futurama 😅 hope Eric takes this as a compliment, I just love his reactions and insights a lot 😊

[@seangriffin2053]

Honestly, Leonard should've moved on. Penny doesn't like not getting her way, even when she really has to be fair.

[@dboslice]

I've been saying that for the longest. It's like she's Poison Ivy and Leonard is sprung. A lot of people probably don't notice this but the reason why Penny never got evicted is because Leonard been paying her rent. I noticed that in the Penny Blossom episode. She goes online buying shoes and wonder why she been going broke and "borrowing" from Leonard and Sheldon. User at it's finest.

[@Drummer4President]

I have a fear of birds. It’s a combination of the beak, the claws, and the flapping for me. Mostly the flapping. No idea why, it just freaks me out.

[@Mikael_Puusaari]

ornitophobia, not ornatophobia, I think that is fear of ornaments 🤪 Sheldon's "I'm gonna be a mommy" is so hilarious 😂

Oh no, I was all here for Leonard turning the tables. Equality, right? And to be fair to Sheldon, blue jays can be aggressive... at least to other birds.

This is just another proof that Penny and Leonard should not be together.

[@Sweet_Venom0027]

What makes you say that? The fact that Penny sponges off of Leonard throughout a date with little to no real care about his opinion about things that they do together or the fact that Leonard let's Penny walk all over him just so he can have sex with her? Or the apparent fact that they have very little in common with each other and when slighted feel the need to hurt the other with passive aggressive high school nonsense?

[@erikawilliams9558]

They both have to mature first and deal with those problems. They're beginning to be more honest with each other but not there yet (the petty stuff). People do change

[@winesquivel8245]

Not necessarily. It just means that they have to learn and grow more before they go back to being in a relationship.

[@wilsonharp3340]

Learning to deal with conflict is an essential part of the maturing process. Avoiding conflict impedes maturation. Declaring any form of conflict as toxic is exceedingly unhealthy.

[@vetarlittorf1807]

@@wilsonharp3340 It's not just that. It's the fact that they have nothing in common. Leonard is only interested in the idea of having a girlfriend who gives him sex and Penny is only with him because he wore her down. For god's sake. Leonard even took advantage of drunken Penny to have sex with her after they broke up the second time and the next morning he had the audacity to accuse Penny of using him. On top of that, Leonard never even trusts Penny. Like when she had a friend staying in her apartment for a few days or when he edited her collage essay on slavery because he had no faith in her doing something right or when he lied to her project partner about him being in a gang and spied on her because he was worried that she might cheat on him. Zach is a much more suitable mate for Penny and Leonard would be better off with Alex. She's the only one who could've given him a healthy relationship.
