Real Reason Why Sheldon Cooper Knocks 3 Times On A Door

[@The_Notorious_N.O.E.]

Sheldon and Penny are such great friends together. He doesn't have the same relationship with any of his other friends as he does with Penny

[@Beezlie727]

She & Leonard are his co-best friends. They tag-team relating to Sheldon & trying to help him.

This clip illustrates one of the biggest failings of the show: Not knowing when something is not funny. Sheldon gives a good reason to one of his unusual habits, on a touchy subject and its effects of his childhood and his relationships with others...and the show hits the laugh track. Why? Because the writers think this is funny. They think that Sheldon's realistic childhood trauma is hilarious, and the way he is trying to avoid hurting others more hilarious. Considering that the writers tried to use Asperger's Syndrome to explain Sheldon's personalty, mocking his ordeal feels cruel. But hey. He's a geek.

Plot Twist: it was his actual mother all along... wearing a wig to “spice” things up lool

Whatever helps you sleep at night

[@jokersace8832]

Imagine young sheldon doing that just to keep the show light hearted.

[@yashar6595]

Thought that too lmao, also he said relations, it could be just kissing BECAUSE sheldon is famous for saying Coitus when its sex, and he didnt say that SO

Sheldon to his dying mother: I heard and saw dad cheating on you with a german blond woman. Sheldon's mom: *Laughing loudly* Baby that's me. Everyone in the room: *Also laugh loudly*

[@robbietrusty5252]

Sheldon: *pulls the plug*

[@agneldmello8930]

People say that it will show as if sheldon misunderstood but a guy like sheldon to misunderstand is a bit illogical because he has a idetic memory and even if Mary had worn a cosplay, he would have considered he was misunderstood bit after seeing his mom returning from Bible study, his doubt becomes clear.

[@redbloodbluemoon1423]

Exactly.

[@albertelnen9144]

He says he has a good memory. Doesnt mean he does.

[@teencritik5512]

Will you believe me if I told you that this theory that his mother was wearing cosplay …. is actually true and that he didn’t recognized her because she was speaking with an accent ?

[@stephanychocolate6227]

@@teencritik5512 they commented this years ago before the episode came out and the writer decided to change the storyline

[@syamastephens]

The relationship I love the most in this series is Penny and Sheldon and then Howard and Raj😀

[@vaishalirandheer3048]

So they surely will show his story in young sheldon

[@joshuadesautels]

Or a version of it, anyway.

[@teencritik5512]

Actually, they will make something …. interesting.

[@jasonrodgers9063]

I was SO very pleased with how the writers of "Young Sheldon" handled this on their show, with it being Mary doing "cosplay sex" with husband George, and NOT George cheating on her. Just sad that Mary never realized Sheldon saw them, and thusly couldn't correct his mistaken memory.

[@HandsomeBabySwastik]

The laugh track seems appropriate now. For those who have watched young sheldon s7 e4😂

[@greenbeacon394]

This was ultimately sad and funny at the same, 1:04 time his dad didn’t cheat and he never knew😿😹

[@Parasmani2208]

From what I able to understand, makers did wanted to show George having affair with Brenda. However the character of George turned out to be quite wholesome and larger than life with fans. That made the infidelity angle bothersome to them. To mitigate this, they relied on Sheldon’a ability to be unrelated narrator and give it a hilarious twist. PS- I am personally happy that George and Mary didn’t cheat on each other at this stage of the show. Though I am not sure if they did in any of previous seasons.

[@ShinraTenseirpr]

Finally we know Sheldon dad never cheat. It was his own mother dress in German clothes. 🎉 season 7 episode 4

[@Mediocrityatitsfinest]

The only thing I could focus on was how good that ice cream looks

[@envoyeli2892]

After today's Young Sheldon episode (7x04), this story lost a lot of it's emotional weight.

[@teencritik5512]

Yes, it was probably Sheldon biggest sad moment and they just ruined it because they didn’t have the balls to follow BBT and making Sheldon childhood tough and sad, instead they just make an other family sitcom where everyone is likeable while Sheldon is just a jerk. My main reason why I prefer BBT

[@lalo13248]

Watched the new Young Sheldon episode and I'm glad his father never cheated.

[@ryanocarroll6426]

0:45 that actually the most reasonable thing he has ever said.

[@lucaswells933]

Well Georgie and Mandy were in his room so he couldn’t run to his room afterwards so I guess this was retconned.

[@nicbentulan]

hahahaha lol it's totally a retcon this is exactly the solution i had in mind except i couldn't think of how it was a retcon. COME ON how is this not a retcon?

[@capeto08]

And no spring break and no lack of math involved. Such a poorly way to do it

[@rishikreddyl]

Here after the Young Sheldon 4th season finale, love how they've exactly portrayed everything according to the TBBT but feeling sad for the future as George's death is pre-determined in the 7th or 8th season if the show continues 😢

[@Horrorqueen77]

The show actually was confirmed for three more seasons but sad he has to die

[@lucbordage7291]

They have three more seasons coming up (renewed).

[@isabelgee5062]

just looked it up and they are planing on 7 seasons. The 7th will release around 2023

[@averagestudent1158]

I can't believe that I saw some comments blaming Mary for being too religious. I am an atheist BUT it's not Mary's fault. George messed up . He could have gone to therapy or something or even gotten a divorce if he wanted to. Georgie having 3 marriages is much more noble .

[@joshuadesautels]

Mary seemed to accept that at least some of whatever drove her husband away was really her own fault, unlike Beverly.

[@Lucas-up9wq]

Isn’t George’s fault either… This poor man sacrifices everything for his family since got outta high school, gets nothing in return, not even from his wife, gets constantly harassed by his mother in law and is deeply unhappy with Job and life.

[@felicityjim5349]

I know this feeling too. It messed me up like at a young age. atfirst I thought it isnt bothersome but as days went by it slowly cut through my heart making it a deep wound by my own loved one, the first person I have ever loved and won't be able to detatch myself from for my whole life. It didn't affect me trying to have relationship but I fall in love too easily when I like the person (which is rare cause I tend to socialize rarely). The thing is I have to keep it a secret cause I got to know this bcs of my curiosity.

[@boredom120]

Love it! 1st knock is traditional, 2nd and 3rd is for "get your pants on" 🤣💕💐

[@yyndsai]

How many are you watching this after young Sheldon season 4 finale

[@lucbordage7291]

Yep.

[@sonycans]

In the latest episode of Young Sheldon, this came to fruition... Sheldon and Mary arrives back to home from Germany and Sheldon's dedicated apartment in the university has a roommate. Sheldon Plays the roomate's videogame throughout the night and conquers it without cheating so he arrives home in the late morning/afternoon. Mary is with George is in their bedroom sexually cosplaying as "Helga" in a German dirndl (interesting as that Heidelberg is not in Bavaria but not far off in Baden-Württemberg ergo the dirndls would not be there being traditionally Bavarian) and Mary cosplaying speaks to George seductively in a German Accent. Sheldon knocks and seen George with "the other woman" Case Closed with a sigh of relief.

[@nicbentulan]

hahahaha lol it's totally a retcon this is exactly the solution i had in mind except i couldn't think of how it was a retcon. COME ON how is this not a retcon?

[@mikeyoung9810]

It's a great scene but it's also a wake-up call for those of us causing pain right now and how it can cause lifelong grief.

[@teencritik5512]

And now that YS episode 4 of Season 7 was released, this scene has lost half of it emotional strength.

[@aswathsudarsan9074]

His father never cheated and woman was the mother all along😮

it was Helga, and their parents were actually having a fun time 😂
