@@deathhunter6628 dramatic shows can have comedic moments. That’s the thing about art: many different things can be taken away from it. To me, the only closed-minded way to experience it is to tell someone else there’s “no need” for them to be affected by it in the way they are. By your own logic, if these characters don’t exist, why do you “feel the need” to derive humor from them then?

Would've been funnier if Bernadette was clued in on it and was there at the time or came back in time to see her and when Howard tried to show he had a girlfriend that Bernadette asked him for money and saying it wasn't part of the deal to make conversations I was only paid to smile and appear nothing else. Maybe even allude to him needing to talk to his significant other before spending more money on her before leaving just to screw with him 😂. I wonder if this would be too far just for the comedic effect that Raj did a double take on Howard after they talked and was about to leave Raj going downstairs and Howard back in and Howard creeped out by how Raj even did a double take like he was contemplating it 😂😅.
