:lol: Penny's reaction at the end was perfect. I have a friend who never would talk about those kind of things, but one drunken night he opened up and that is how we all reacted. haha

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

Yeah, finally they're transitioning Sheldon to slightly more normal. I hope we see them smooshing theiir genitals together. It's about time someone confronted him directly about sex.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

I also like that they're shaking things up in Sheldon's work world as well.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

Hilarious episode. Loved Howard and Raj's sub-plot.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

People on this forum actually watch this shit?

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

It was good to Kripke again. He was always a better nemesis than Leslie Winkle.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

:rolleyes:

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

:crap:

I liked the 3D printer subplot as that's exactly the kind of stuff I would do with one.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

Ah, Dragon Tattoo....classic early 2000's forum troll type. How I've missed thee. :)


That being said I loved Penny's reaction and the 3-D printer subplot.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

I also enjoyed how Bernadette laid down the law with Howard.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

Probably not the funniest episode, but I definitely liked the character development with Sheldon and the other story line with the 3D printer. You'd think the fact that Raj is apparently rich and has a freakin' PhD would make it easier for him to meet women (or men).

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

I liked how nonchalant Sheldon was about answering Penny. It didn't seem quite like the way we've seen him in the past, so it was a bit weird.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

Kripke's speech impediment is like fingernails on a chalk board, but I liked him in this episode. But it would be nice if they backed off the annoying voice, just like they've done with Bernadette.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

I felt the same. It's never felt like overkill before. It was almost like they doubled the amount of words he mispronounced compared to normal.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

On an unrealted note... damn Penny has been looking crazy hot in her pants lately.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

:thumbsup:

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

Haven't watch the episode yet. Thanks for sharing that, I need to get "ready" before watching the episode. *wink* *wink*

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

Funny Kripke side note: The only other thing I remember seeing that actor in is an episode of Whitney where he played a character who had an entirely different speech problem.

Yeah, Drgaon Tattoo -- I watch that shit too. Because I've got terrible taste in entertainment.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

Well Jason, at least you're smart enough to know which threads to click on and which ones to avoid.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

True. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go post in the Dallas thread and tell everyone there how stupid they are for watching an 80s retread soap opera.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

Faint praise, indeed. :)

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

People who don't watch this shit actually take the time to read the posts about this shit and then post a comment? What kind of loser does that?

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

MOD Reminder

No thread-crapping. If you don't watch the show, don't post in the thread.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" -- 1/31/13
 

But the way he pronounced "lingerie" was sublime.
