You mean Leonard’s mom?

[@TheSoundofTanay]

Haha can’t believe they messed this up

Might as well be since she like Sheldon more than him

I don't think they do, and I don't disagree

Aside from the title gaff, there was a real missed opportunity of Dr. Hofstader interviewing Howard about being married to Bernadette after there were two episodes where she called him gay.

it could also be a joke since sheldon and beverly are like the real family lolm

[@amandaljohnson]

I'm with penny here. I'm surprised Beverly even cared about Leonard getting married cuz it never seemed like they had a real mother son relationship. she viewed him more as an experiment during most of his life. it's crazy to me that Penny actually had a bonding moment with her before Leonard did. It says a lot.

[@bharatrajshetty5582]

Beverly and sheldon look at life and relationships more scientifically than emotionally but that does not mean they dont care about relationships . penny acknowledges her mistake and invites her for another small ceremony😃

She doesn't know that it isn't possible.

[@supersonicfan7514]

I don’t get why Penny tries so hard to make Beverly like her. It’s not like Leonard pressures her to, he even tells Penny that he doesn’t like Beverly.

[@quicobrujo3951]

Because she loves Leonard and she wants to have a relationship with his mother. I'm sure you've heard the saying, "when you marry someone, you also marrying their family." Penny considers Beverly her family now and she wants Beverly to reciprocate. I think it speaks volumes about the kind of person Penny is because there's so many wives out there who do not have a good relationship with their mother-in-laws. The fact that Penny wants to try to connect with Beverly goes to show how good of a wife she is to Leonard.

[@shadowsnake3867]

It's called being respectful and being matured. As that may affect your children growing up. This is also a gesture of how much you love the person as not only you love the person you would be with but also with their baggages both good and bad. This is also beneficial on hard times as your in laws could help or if something was to happen to you tragically they can take care of you or your kids. Broken family majority of them struggles more vs you having a support so you have more time to bond vs wasting all the effort trying to be so successful. They can also be your caretaker for pets or during your schooling.

[@Janu-lj9hf]

@@quicobrujo3951Not all mother-laws are good people, especially the ones that have unhealthy relationships with their sons. I don’t believe a woman should put herself through any abuse to prove she loves her husband. We certainly don’t expect that out of husbands, so why expect that out of wives?

[@WillBlindYouWithLight]

Because she wants a mom like that herself, and she wants to better Leonard's relationship with his mom.

[@Mack_au]

Yeah it was 9:17 Ep the birthday one. You'll have to watch it yourself to see if she was just being snarky or genuinely hurt about it. It's also the same episode where bev had her 60th bday party and........didn't even invite Leonard or Penny. Bevs kinda hypocritical bitch.

@@dennisardakis5857 She is. Her and Bernadette are almost the same in the last four seasons: they both treat their spouse like SHIT, because they think they’re hotter, and make more money. The reason Penny wanted to get close to Beverly, was because she’s slowly becoming like her. She treats Leonard like SHIT. She got rid of his stuff without asking, and also manipulated him CONSTANTLY in the last four seasons. The main problem with the show, is that Chuck Lorre never bothers to write SITUATIONAL COMEDY, and relies too much on stupid jokes that AREN’T funny. The last four seasons were tainted with TAAHM humor; that’s why Leonard and Penny were BASICALLY Alan and Lyndsey.

[@user-gc5vs3sq3r]

This really proves what Beverly said about Penny in an earlier episode right. She only values herself how other people see her and is always looking for validation. Funny how as the show goes on Leonard becomes the more confident one while Penny becomes more insecure.

[@judithsuhr4426]

[@basilfawlty8244]

I'm amazed that nobody's pointed out that this is Leonard's Mum & not Sheldon's....😂

[@RitaNathaniel]

The title is wrong in the context of this particular scene, but it's funny how, overall, it's true that Penny had a 10x better relationship with Sheldon's mother than Leonard's mom. Remember the episode when Penny took Sheldon to Disneyland? It was only season 3, and already then, in this episode, it was said that Sheldon's mom calls Penny when the issue is Sheldon. Also, I think that the fact that Penny was a down-to-earth small-town girl from Nebraska, and Mary was from Medford - a small town in Texas, helped with their connection. Although Mary & Penny had their obvious differences, when it came to lifestyle or approach to sex, they were still closer to each other than Penny and Beverly. Beverly was a cold intellectual, she was the opposite of Penny, they never had a good relationship, except for some short-lived moments like here. It's funny to think that if Penny and Sheldon were together, and married, Penny would like her mother-in-law.

I can sympathize with her. The first time Leonard and Penny got married, it wasn't really a wedding, but more like a dare on Sheldon's part. And if she cares so much, she might be willing to pay for the small ceremony but make it a real wedding.

[@moalex6617]

The thing about these people, brilliant geniuses that know too much to a fault, is that they operate on the most logical sense of any decision making. They'll easily make the hardest choicest any human has to make if the pros outweigh the cons. It doesn't mean they won't feel hurt about their decisions, and sometimes they may have a hard time expressing it, but they aren't immune to basic human emotions. Sometimes you just have to be very direct and upfront about things in order to get them to pay attention to the small things that makes life precious and memorable. Unless they're a sociopath.

We all know that it's Leonard's mom but the dual g only mentioned Sheldon and Howard with the most focus on Amy and Sheldon's relationship. However, I would expect better of a human however isolated from watching TV shows hence the AI reference as it always becomes clear with AI generated text and speech that there is no fundamental comprehension at all, only referrals to the data it has.
