The worst Sheldon moment would have to be where he forces Leonard to wear an itchy sweater, until he returns a DVD, only to reveal that he found it years ago, and was trying to teach Leonard a lesson. Leonard must have the patience of a Saint to tolerate Sheldon at his worst.

[@nerdgirl_113]

Aw yeah!Seeing how red Leonard's torso was was horrible and I just wanted him to beat the crap outta Sheldon.

[@frankbrodie5168]

It was an absolutely hilarious moment when it happened though. As a solid TBBT fan now, I like all the main characters. Sheldon has many scenes where he is annoying. But he has such strong redeeming characteristics that he is still watchable. Whereas in The Office (US) I find myself hating the Michael character the more times I watch the show. I find him annoying with very few redeeming characteristics.

[@hastensavoir7782]

He should have slapped Sheldon more times than Marshall did Barney.

[@Ori_Kohav]

Leonard: When did we get a wall safe? Sheldon: When there was no more room in the floor safe. Leonard: When did we get a floor safe? Sheldon: When we got the security camera. Leonard: There’s a security camera??? Sheldon: Aquaman, protecting your home since 2012. Penny: Oh my god, we’ve done things on that couch. Sheldon: Yeah, you don’t have to tell me.

[@Ori_Kohav]

@Christopher Bingham as if installing a security camera in someone’s home without their knowledge or consent is nothing to be blamed for

[@Ori_Kohav]

@Christopher Bingham this home belongs to both of them, not just to Sheldon. When you live with a partner, it’s not polite to make such changes like installing a security camera without said partner’s knowledge or consent. The only case in which this action is defendable is if you live alone, which Sheldon doesn’t.

[@marckempe2143]

The security camera isn’t that big of a deal, but he should have told Leonard. In fact, he was contractually required to tell Leonard about the safes, as specified by the roommate agreement about adding furniture.

I don’t know how Amy managed to put up with this for 10 seasons. Also I think what should’ve been mentioned was when he broke into Penny’s apartment to clean it and when he feuded with Howard over a parking space despite not knowing how to drive and not owning a car in the first place, also when he insulted Leonard and Penny’s relationship and acting like his relationship with Amy was superior to any other couple should’ve been mentioned

[@ciarangleeson2880]

Actually, Sheldon and Amy were together for 9 seasons. But I agree about trying to steal Howard’s parking space. How did they not get arrested for changing the name on it?

[@cjbantilo1666]

Because Amy is obnoxious too. She's annoying to be honest.

[@ethandean4]

He wasn’t really being mean when he cleaned pennys apartment

[@Historyandlegends789]

My theory is that Amy puts up with it for two reason. 1. She has such low self esteem she’ll except Sheldon for the monster he is. 2. The more likely, after about 3 years a tumor developed in her brain from having to deal with Sheldon so much that it altered her personality so that the part of her brain that realizes abuse has been destroyed by said tumor.

I know and it shows that he has no respect for Amy's interests. Sheldon dismisses the first two gifts, which were really good, because they don't interest HIM. Then, when he finds a gift both him and Amy like, he calls dibs on it. In the end, it's Amy who has to compromise for Sheldon and Sheldon learns nothing. Yep, boyfriend of the year right here and I mean that sarcastically.

[@heatherstephenson3559]

Yeah and it's infuriating that he bragged about it and seemed to consider himself to be a great boyfriend when he's one of the most insulting and least thoughtful boyfriends I've seen in a sitcom, I hated how he treated Alex and how he expected her to buy Amy's gifts like they were in the 1950s or something and he didn't even care enough to get them himself and didn't even care about Amy's interests, just about what he liked, his happiness and how he'd look.

[@zshah3107]

[@bef9612]

Sheldon is a problematic character, but there are some points I actually agree with him on. The whole Leonard and Priya thing may not have been nice, but Priya was intentionally making him uncomfortable in their shared apartment, and Leonard did not care. If they wanted some private time, Priya could have used her fancy lawyer money and shtupped Leonard in a hotel. She ended up shtupping someone else anyway! Priya functioned in the show to make Penny jealous and move the story along. Priya gave Leonard an ultimatum about Penny, gave him a new wardrobe to transform him like a Ken doll, but was not committed enough to tell her parents about them. I've been through this with someone, and it totally hurts.

[@kairynedetal]

Well priya gives him his own medicine and that's pretty pleasing to see

[@bvnbvn7654]

While true, Sheldon's intentions weren't about showing Leonard the problematicness of his relationship

[@guillermobarrera6620]

Sheldons whole “agreement” makes everyone a servant to him and makes everyone else uncomfortable.

[@metalgeekzy3934]

I think the worst thing Sheldon ever did was make his "friendship" contingent on if Leonard SERVED him or not. Happened time and time again. Do what he wants, or hes not your friend. Not much of a friendship.

[@stevensanders9496]

I still can't comprehend people remaining his friend lol

[@stephenr.wattsauthor7029]

Sheldon might be the show's breakout character, but people wouldn't find him very entertaining if they had to put up with him in real life. Honestly, we all must be sadists if we find his mistreatment of others fun to watch.

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

There are a lot of characters we find entertaining on TV but wouldn't want to hang out with them in real life. House, Sherlock, Harley Quinn, Homelander, but the reason we like, or love to hate these characters is because we enjoy watching them on screen.

[@user-nv4ek7eq5n]

@Christopher Bingham Haha, but pen drives are easily lost actually.

[@jameswest6232]

Sheldon gets a pass about the whole Priya thing in my book. She's an abusive manipulator to Leonard and Sheldon's blackmail was essentially outing her on how little she's actually willing to commit to their relationship. - Yeah, Priya's tactic of pointing out how out of date and absurd the RA was is valid, but there were plenty of points where she and Leonard do stuff they don't even like just to rub Sheldon's face in it. If they had just done a couple things to show Sheldon how pointless his RA was and offered to come up with a more equal, less insane one to replace it, that'd be a different story

[@TheMoniWahid]

I’m not for or against Priya as a character but I have to point out the cultural relevance the show actually somewhat adhered to. In the Indian culture you do not date and introduce them to your parents until you’re ready to get engaged and married to someone. So Priya not telling her parents about a man who hadn’t proposed to her is not an unwillingness to commit to Leonard. Cases could be made for her other actions but not this imho :)

[@katpocalypsemeow4554]

@Christopher Bingham How about episode 12 of season 6: "The Egg Salad Equivalency" Sheldon decides to "give a talking too" his female assistant Alex. When she asks what's wrong he says, "Oh, you poor dear. Your ovaries are squirting so much goofy juice into your brains you don’t even know which way is up." Implying that she confused and incompetent because she is a woman. Which is sexist. He then echo's his father's own misogyny by quoting this gem from him: "a woman is like an egg salad sandwich on a warm Texas day. Full of eggs and only appealing for a short time." A belief that women's worth is tied entirely to their appearance and having kids. Again sexist and misogynistic. A belief that he further reinforces by stating that as a woman she is "you’re a slave to your desire to reproduce." Again stating the belief that she is inherently inferior because she is a woman and women's purpose is making babies. Sexist. He then tells her look at that she should try to control herself by looking at pictures of the genitals of people with STI's, "When you feel possessed by amorous intent, may I suggest that you suppress it by leafing through this illustrated book of sexually transmitted diseases?" He then proceeds to SHOW her at least one such photo completely prompted by her. Now let's not forget that most of this is done AFTER she explicitly tells him that it's making her uncomfortable which makes the entire thing sexual harassment. Then when he is called into HR after Alex files a complaint he tells the HR lady, "I led her away from a life of sexual promiscuity by making her look at pictures of disease-ridden genitalia." Both confessing to sexual harassment by ordering/forcing her to look at diseased genital against her will but reiterating the sexist/misogynistic belief that women are inherently inferior by insinuating that without his help she would be nothing more than a slut. When called out by HR for his clearly inappropriate behavior he says, "I meant that all women are slaves to their biological urges." Yet again stating the belief that women are inherently inferior because men aren't slaves.

You know the irony here is that despite how much the characters and fans all complain about Sheldon, you realise that if it weren’t for Sheldon and if he didn’t exist, there would be no show - The Big Bang Theory would have flopped; Sheldon made the show and was a big part of what made it what it was and still is to all us fans. At the same time, despite how much everyone complained about Sheldon, the fact was that they also couldn’t see or picture their lives with him not being in them. Amy also even highlighted this in The Cooper Extraction episode of season 7 where she pointed out how if it weren’t for Sheldon they all wouldn’t be friends and have their relationships.

And as I said, why is it just Sheldon who was called out nearly all the time and definitely more than everybody else; there should be a top ten list or longer for nearly all the other characters for how awful they were and how they all did awful things to each other and even to Sheldon that were worse than they said he’d done to them or things he’d never even done to them. In fact, most of the time when it came to how awful, mean and obnoxious Penny was, Sheldon was pretty much the only one to ever call her out and stand up to her, especially against Leonard, Sheldon always pointed out to him how bad she was and had the common sense and the backbone Leonard lacked to say all that Leonard never said to her which he should have. And Leonard pretty much almost never even thanked or appreciated him for that and why? Because he cared more about Penny and getting in bed with her than he did his own friends. And yet, they all still believed that they were better than Sheldon or above him.

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

How about when Sheldon not only complained about having to go to Amy's grandma's (I think it was her grandma, can't remember) birthday party, but abandoned Amy to go by herself so he could play Star Wars: The Old Republic? Though Leonard, Howard and Raj are equally at fault for that, since neither one of them even suggested that, if Sheldon couldn't go that weekend, they could just postpone their gaming marathon to next weekend.

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

@Christopher Bingham I'm not saying that video games are bad. Honestly, I love video games too. I even have my own gaming blog but that's not the point. The point is that Sheldon already made an obligation to go to Amy's party and, when you have an obligation, it doesn't matter if something better comes up. That's what you have to do out of respect for the people you made the obligation for. Also, when you make plans with your friend and you find out that they already have an obligation to someone else before you brought up your plans, you postpone the plans for later. So all of the guys were at fault for this, not just Sheldon. For example, tonight I am looking forward to the season premiere of The Boys. However, suppose that I had an obligation to go somewhere with my SO. Despite how much I am looking forward to watching The Boys, I would go with my SO and postpone watching it until I get back. The show's not going anywhere and would still be there for me to watch. Just like Star Wars: The Old Republic wasn't going anywhere and would still be there next weekend. That game is still around today and I know that because I have an account for it.

Cleaning up pennys apartment by trespassing

[@timhill4087]

He probably thought he made up for it all with that sentence in his Nobel speech. "I apologize if I haven't been the friend you deserve BUT IN MY WAY I love you all." He's still justifying his behavior. Classic narcissist!

[@prosen8966]

No. That could have been true but in this particular case, Sheldon being autistic makes his behavior much more understandable. If you watched the beginning of Young Sheldon, you would have seen that while Sheldon is (clearly) a prodigy, HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND HUMAN BEHAVIOR OR SOCIAL INTERACTION. (There’s an episode where Sheldon and his sister are tested in various ways on the weekends for cash.) Sheldon still has this problem as an adult and it only changes a bit in the latter yrs when he’s with Amy for long enough for her to train him to not say certain things or to shut up at certain moments. That’s not to say that she’s taught him true empathy - you either have that or you don’t - but he is aware of the issue. When he phrases his speech in that manner, he’s actually being more truthful then ever bc he’s making it clear to his friends that he not only loves them but that he recognizes that he shows that love in a different manner than most other people. That speech won’t change who Sheldon is as a person. It might make him recognize - to a greater degree - that he’s being rude or insensitive to others OR that other people are trying to relay something important to him; but there’s only so far that Sheldon can grow (or, at least, it takes a while for him to change). I am extremely familiar w the concept of narcissism bc one of my sisters is, indeed, a total narcissist and can somehow make anything all about her. Sheldon can be selfish and self centered but he is not a narcissist and even when the show ended, he still had that childlike innocence around him bc to some extent, he still thinks and interacts like a child. While I have yet to see the second half of this season’s episodes of YS, I can say that the prequel the writers are giving Sheldon show that he would DEFINITELY have done better if there had been a way for Sheldon to go to school (college) w other young prodigies rather than w teens at least 7 years his elder. Or if he had gone to “high school” w the same in order to interact w other young children w the same intellectual abilities. (Of course, that is JMO.)

[@heatherstephenson3559]

Yeah, his speech was kinda overrated and a lot of what he said was too little too late and the fact that he didn't even listen to Amy's speech is so rude and even if all the main men are douchebags, the fact that he said 'if' I've not been a good friend was kinda frustrating rather than actually improving and apologising.

[@stephenflood6548]

The episode where he blackmailed Priya and Leonard because Priya exploited loopholes in his stupid contract is solid proof that Sheldon is nothing but a spoiled brat. If things aren't his way, he lashes out like a baby.

[@esmeehabraken]

Sheldon secretly uploading Leonard’s , raj’s and Howard’s bitcoin to a usb stick should be an honourable mention. I know he meant well, but you can’t just transfer a lot of money (to a not so safe place) without the actual owner knowing

Yeah, glad to see a video about Sheldon's worst actions as there are so many despicable, unforgivable things that he said and did that it would take countless videos to go through them all. He really was such a narcissistic, misogynistic bully and didn't deserve the happy ending he got at all.

[@heatherstephenson3559]

Ikr, it was super annoying that they all just forgave him and still showed up to hear the speech (I like to think they came for Amy) and that he didn't have to lose or sacrifice anything despite being so horrible and disrespectful as he didn't even listen to Amy's speech. In a show where the leading men are all sexist, selfish jerks, Sheldon takes the cake as the worst.

[@heatherstephenson3559]

Yeah, watching him get forgiven by everyone was pretty infuriating to say the least as they didn't know what he was going to say and there were just quite a lot of frustrating aspects of the finale with Penny's pregnancy despite her not wanting kids just to make it about Leonard getting his happy ending regardless of what Penny wants and Sheldon being such a jerk about the pregnancy and disrespecting Amy.

[@marckempe2143]

Honestly, throughout the entirety of the series, they should have had 1 friend to hang out with them who had the same problems with being socially awkward but with enough sense to do the 1 thing that would get Sheldon to think about his actions and words. They needed a friend who would consistently slap Sheldon upside the head whenever he says or does something inconsiderate.

[@marckempe2143]

@Francisco Leyva Martin it doesn’t change the fact that the bad things far outweigh the good things, especially with Howard. When he’s given any form of authority, he lords it over everyone else. Sheldon is not a leader.

[@marckempe2143]

@Francisco Leyva Martin a leader is someone who inspires people to do and be better. Most of the time all Sheldon inspires is the desire to end his life. He took up the position as a professor in the university and the moment that he was given any form of teaching, he throws it in the students’ face and belittles them. If he’s in a position of power, he pushes any form of manual labor onto someone else, usually Leonard. Sheldon is just a man child who has no true appreciation for how much everyone puts up with him. Howard stated it himself, if Sheldon were to put in the effort to be a good teacher, then he’s willing to work with him as a student.

[@marckempe2143]

@Francisco Leyva Martin alphas don’t exist, Sheldon is rude to everyone around him. He needs to learn to appreciate everyone around him or he won’t have anyone left.

[@marckempe2143]

@Francisco Leyva Martin there are no alpha males when it comes to humans. Sheldon is not a leader because all he cares about is his own needs and desires, he almost never considers everyone else’s needs unless they’re life threatening, and even then, he would never put himself at risk to save any of them. Sheldon has gotten himself incarcerated because of his attitude. He claims to be an adult yet essentially throws tantrums when things don’t go his way. He uses shampoo for children because he doesn’t know how to keep it from getting into his eyes. He is not an adult, just a man child.

[@fitzytail896]

This is probably why Sheldon's family (Save for his mother) almost never visits him, his Twin Sister only visited once and one appearance in his wedding, he shut his brother off until their reconstitution, meemaw just once to confront Amy (sort of).

@Christopher Bingham I used diabolical on purpose because of Amy, thank you for noticing. You can say Sheldon didn't mean to be mean with everything that he does. After all he only put bugs in Leonard's food as an experiment. 🤷‍♀️

[@plumdutchess]

I'm gonna absolutely have to disagree with the final episode one. To this day, I still can't watch it and it was a bad ending. They put up with Sheldon's shit every day of their life. The one day he has every right to be self centered (they won a freaking Nobel prize!!!) they suddenly can't take it anymore. Penny was the only one who was like: "Well, yeah. That's Sheldon."' And Howard and Bernadette wanting to go home to their children, even though it would take them days to get back there, was just dumb. If they had thought of that before they left, fine. But they were already there. The final two episodes are cringe worthy. And then Sheldon having his "moment of clarity" during his speech is extremely American, like see how emotional we can make this. The Nobel acceptance should not be about your friends, but about your accomplishment.

[@heatherstephenson3559]

Interestingly, I dislike the finale for very different reasons, as I was super frustrated that he still got the prize and that everyone came back for the speech before they knew what he was going to say, as he did NOT deserve to get everything he wanted and the fact that he didn't even listen to Amy's speech is so disrespectful, I can't even tell you. All the men in the show are jerks but Sheldon's definitely the worst and the speech didn't feel satisfying as he didn't have to lose or sacrifice anything. It angers me even more now that I've seen the Brooklyn 99 finale with the kindest and most feminist white sitcom man, Jake, giving up his whole career (I get why but it's still bittersweet) while the others get to have careers and families and getting the cruel coma trick done to him despite his generosity, selflessness and sweetness.

[@heatherstephenson3559]

Yeah, I know the shows are different with regard to their handling of sexism and many issues but now that I've seen both series and finales, they seem to highlight the unfair nature of things as it feels extra unfair that Sheldon got to have everything and got away with extreme narcissism and self-absorption and misogyny but that Jake had to give up so much even after going through a lot, including the cruel heist tricks and being so kind, selfless and feminist as he deserved a totally happy ending whereas it's about time that Sheldon had to go without something or sacrifice/lose out as he complained continuously and never took responsibility even at his cruellest, most thoughtless moments as they got exciting opportunities and met celebs all the time on TBBT but in B99, Jake lost out and sacrificed his job, despite being the loveliest sitcom man who supported and prioritised the dreams of his loved ones (unlike the TBBT men) and didn't even get to meet Bruce Willis once. The fact that Sheldon's so dismissive of Amy's field and got her removed from her own project and insulted her so often and then had to consider whether or not to exclude her isn't the best sign and if he had actually lost the prize, he would have probably blamed and resented her and tried everything to get it without caring if he hurt anyone else. I know that he was awful again in the finale to try and give the final speech a bigger impact, but he was just a super selfish, egotistical, rude jerk so his happy ending doesn't feel earned and it's frustrating that they came back anyway, not knowing what he was going to say, meaning that he gets everything he wants without deserving it. I also still can't get over him being controlling with Amy's looks and not even listening to her speech or showing any interest in her dress but expecting her to listen to him speak for 90 mins, I mean, the level of disrespect is unreal.

[@heatherstephenson3559]

Apologies for this as you seem to be a big Sheldon fan, but I don't think it can be denied how sexist he was at numerous points throughout the show with how he spoke to/about Leslie, Alex and Mrs Davis and how he spoke about periods and fertility and harmful stereotypes and put women down specifically for being women, as well as how he spoke to Penny and Amy and on 'Fun with flags'. He also complained constantly and blamed others for his selfish actions and mistreatment of others as he thinks he's above everyone and everything. When they're doing their speeches at the very end, it's specifically stated that he wasn't listening to her and even that he was paying so little attention that he didn't even know if she was still talking or not and if that's not disrespect, I don't know what is. He also didn't want to see her dress but tried to control her looks (with makeup in an earlier season) but expected her to listen to him talk for over an hour. He also repeatedly dismissed Amy's achievements and success and didn't respect her or her accomplishments and even when it was trying to show some growth, he still insulted her and couldn't just be happy for her, even though they both got to go on Will Wheaton's show and Amy spoke about Sheldon loads in her interview but he still complained in the S12 paintball ep.

[@hardickmcfondle2956]

Sorry, but you missed his worst moment.. his worst moment was when he made Leonard and Penny's wedding day all about himself by showing up uninvited to the live feed and harrasing Amy about where they were in their relationship.. the guy couldn't shut up for the maybe 2 minutes it would have took to see his best friend get married and caused everyone else to miss it too. Nothing about that scene was funny.. and the forced laugh track makes it even worse.
