00:00Okay, look this never happened. Do you understand me welcome to miss mojo and today?
00:06We're counting down our pics for the moments on the big bang theory that took an unexpected
00:11Quantum leap and hit us like a sudden burst of static electricity. Will you marry me?
00:18Number 20 Sheldon hugs penny
00:21It's the holiday season so penny swings by to drop off some neighborly gifts and gets an earful from Sheldon
00:27You haven't given me a gift. You've given me an obligation
00:32Don't feel bad penny. It's a classic rookie mistake my first Hanukkah with Sheldon. He yelled at me for eight nights
00:39He spends the rest of the episode
00:42obsessing over the perfect gift to reciprocate
00:44Only to learn that no size or number of bath item gift sets could possibly match what penny got him
00:50What she thinks is just a sweet little souvenir means so much more to him
00:54All I need is a healthy ovum and I can grow my own Leonard Nimoy
01:04All I'm giving you is the napkin
01:07Well all the gift sets in the world's may not be enough to show his full gratitude
01:12Sheldon finds a priceless way to thank her until now
01:16We didn't even think Sheldon knew what a hug was let alone how to give one
01:25It's a Saturnalia miracle number 19 the comic book store burns down as the series progressed
01:33Stewart's luck only got worse, but it truly felt like rock-bottom when the comic book store burned down
01:38I was cooking in the back room last night and the hot plate caught on fire
01:43And you couldn't put it out. I was across the street at the do-it-yourself car wash taking a shower poor Stewart
01:50This store was everything to him and now it's all gone scorched and ruined to make matters worse
01:57Sheldon shows up and isn't exactly comforting
02:00I don't mean to be rude Sheldon, but my life is kind of falling apart right now your life
02:05The University is making me do string theory and my girlfriend loves me so much
02:10She wants to live with me while Stewart continues to pack up what's left of the merchandise a light beam falls missing him by inches
02:17It's a devastating event and instead of offering support his friends just make things worse
02:23Honestly, we're not sure what's more shocking
02:26Stewart losing his livelihood and home or how his so-called friends seem to make him feel even more miserable
02:32Did you do this for the insurance money? No God?
02:36You sound like the police the firemen my parents my therapist in the insurance company number 18
02:42Leonard's dad and Sheldon's mom leave together
02:45Anytime Beverly and Mary visit their sons at the same time is
02:49Absolutely hilarious add an ex-husband to the mix and things are bound to get interesting
02:55Sheldon tells me your husband's coming my ex-husband. Oh, I'm so sorry. Don't be all right
03:00Well Leonard's parents can hardly stand to be in the same room
03:04Leonard's father Alfred surprisingly hits it off with Mary when a celebratory dinner takes a frosty turn
03:11Alfred calls it a night and Mary decides to join him. So I will see you all in the morning
03:17Would you like to share a cat that would be fine? Where are you staying? I'm at the Weston
03:21So am I kind of interest you in a nightcap?
03:24I think that you could Leonard's dad and Sheldon's mom hooking up definitely not on our bingo card for this series
03:31Well, they probably didn't share more than a conversation
03:34The idea that Leonard and Sheldon could one day be stepbrothers certainly took us all by surprise
03:39So did you defile my mother or not?
03:45They're being rude
03:46Look, if I may I can assure you your mother and I did nothing more than share a cab and a conversation number 17
03:54Professor proton passes away
03:56We first meet Arthur Jeffries aka professor proton in season 6
04:00He popped in and out of the gang's lives becoming a beloved figure, especially for Sheldon
04:06So when Leonard broke the news that professor proton had passed away in the following season
04:11It was as heartbreaking for us as it was for them. I just read online that Arthur Jeffries passed away
04:21Professor proton is dead
04:24Sorry, buddy this loss
04:25However allowed Arthur's character to evolve into a mentor of sorts for Sheldon despite the humor in these moments
04:32We were still taken aback by the decision to take his story in this direction
04:37Like all the men I've looked up to have gone away
04:42You know, it's it's okay to
04:45To be sad about but what really shocked us was Sheldon finally letting out his true feelings when Leonard checked on him
04:52Later told some great stories about him
04:55Did you know that Arthur's son is a high school son?
05:03Number 16 Leonard's wedding day confession after putting off wedding plans penny and Leonard decide to elope in Vegas
05:11I'm free tonight
05:18You said you want to get married Vegas isn't that far away
05:24I'm in let's do it on the drive up. They talk about their relationship and excitement for the future
05:29Only Leonard decides now is the time to come clean about the past. What did you do? Nothing?
05:36Really it was just kissing and then what and then nothing I
05:41Stopped it since it's basically a running joke that pennies out of his league
05:45No one expected him to be the one who kissed someone else while they were together
05:50Still the wedding goes on but penny just can't get past it
05:54Ultimately Sheldon offers a solution to help them move on because I messed up and made out with a girl
06:00You're gonna do the same with a random guy
06:03I'm currently single
06:07That's true you are
06:10What is happening even though it turns out to just be Leonard's subconscious at work our jaws still hit the floor
06:18number 15
06:19Amy lashes out on Nobel rivals when Amy and Sheldon meet the scientists who proved their asymmetry theory
06:26They're shocked to learn that they're shot at the Nobel is all thanks to a fluke
06:31You weren't even thinking about super asymmetry thinking about it
06:35We don't even understand it as the Fermilab duo gets all the attention
06:39Amy and Sheldon the actual brains behind the theory feels sidelined and increasingly frustrated
06:45Now given Sheldon's history, we all expected him to blow his lid eventually
06:50Come on, Sheldon Lee Cooper doesn't like to share credit. Let alone watch someone else
06:55Take it all what we didn't see coming though was Amy being the one to lose at first
07:00It's somehow we we still feel like imposters should be a term for that
07:05Oh for crying out loud, there is a term for that
07:07It's called imposter syndrome and you don't have it because you can't have it if you are imposters and you are
07:14We're not saying the Fermilab guys didn't deserve every word, but yikes talk about making a scene
07:20So if anyone's gonna feel like they have imposter syndrome, it's us because we're not imposters
07:25They are your imposters and your frauds number 14
07:30Leonard's bad proposal timing if you've ever imagined the perfect proposal
07:35You might picture a stunning location a cozy candlelit dinner or even a flashy public flash mob
07:42But proposing mid-coitus
07:45People say weird things during sex all the time. Okay. Well, they sure as hell don't say that
07:53Yeah, just like that not will you marry me?
07:55Yeah, we don't imagine too many people fantasizing about that being the setting for this life-changing moment
08:02Sure, we get it was the heat of the moment. But is it any wonder penny freaked out?
08:07It becomes the first of many proposals and not just from Leonard
08:12Leonard Hofstadter
08:14Will you marry me?
08:21Did you seriously just say
08:23In fact, it happened often enough that we just assumed they'd never take the leap yet when Leonard finally proposed with the ring
08:31He'd been carrying around something felt different
08:34Still we were completely stunned when penny said yes, honey
08:39Will you marry me?
08:42Oh my god, yes
08:44Number 13 Howard and Raj find Sheldon a girlfriend
08:48When we first started watching the series if someone had told us Sheldon would not only meet a great woman
08:54But marry her and start a family we'd have left it off as some alternate reality. You know, what would be fun?
09:01Signing Sheldon up for online dating
09:04No, think about it. We make it an experiment like like when Frankenstein's monster was lonely and he found a wife
09:10Perhaps when Howard and Raj decided to play matchmaker for Sheldon, they opened that vortex
09:16It seemed impossible that someone could be the perfect match for such a unique guy
09:21Holy crap what we finally have proof that aliens walk among us
09:28Excuse me, the dating site matched a woman with Sheldon enter Amy Farrah Fowler from the off
09:34It's clear. She's a fantastic fit for him
09:37Even Howard and Raj can't believe what they're witnessing before this goes any further
09:41You should know that all forms of physical contact up to and including coitus are off the table
09:48May I buy you a beverage
09:52Tepid water, please after Sheldon and Amy break up they managed to help him find another match
09:57Turns out lightning can strike twice
10:00I knew I had to meet the person responsible for such a brilliant idea
10:03And I don't need to tell you there aren't a lot of men who love physics archaic languages and flags of the world
10:11Number 12 Sheldon and Amy's first kiss
10:15You'd think a train enthusiast like Sheldon would consider a Valentine's Day evening on a train the perfect plan
10:21I'm still unclear how this trip is supposed to be enjoyable for me
10:25We're going to have Valentine's Day dinner on a fully functioning vintage train
10:31But he'd probably have enjoyed it just as much if Amy wasn't there
10:35Maybe even more so Amy gets fed up with being ignored all night and confronts Sheldon. Why are you still here?
10:42Excuse me. I think you're being a little rude. I'm being rude. You've been rude to me this entire evening
10:48How is that possible? I've hardly spoken to you since we got on the train
10:52We totally understand her frustration, but his not so much
10:57Still it leads to their first kiss, which was a shocker. Now, let's gaze into each other's eyes
11:04You blinked I win
11:06What's next? Oh kissings romantic
11:17Sheldon leans in and to our astonishment. He actually enjoys it
11:21This wasn't the only time Sheldon took the first step in his relationship with Amy
11:26Just as she gears up to tell Sheldon how she feels about him. He beats her to it
11:30I want you to know that you don't have to say it back
11:32I know you're not ready and I don't want you to say it just because social convention dictates. I love you, too
11:41Number 11 the elevator gets fixed the broken elevator was one of the most iconic running gags of the series
11:49Oh, we have to use the stairs. What are they gonna fix your elevator?
11:53Any day now we learned that Leonard is essentially responsible for his neighbors having to climb multiple flights of stairs every day for 12 seasons
12:01We kept wondering why no one ever pushed to get it fixed yet as the series finale neared
12:06We held out hope that we'd finally see someone ride it
12:09We have expected this moment, but that didn't make it any less surprising when those doors opened
12:23You believe it they finally fix the elevator
12:26Sheldon doesn't take the change too. Well because well, he's Sheldon
12:31Eventually, even he has to admit that hitching a ride up to the apartment isn't that bad
12:36Yeah, the elevator did work when I moved into the building
12:39So going up and down the stairs was a change, which means this would actually be a return to the status quo
12:45But conversely
12:47Number
12:4910 Penny's pregnancy in the season 12 episode the procreation calculation penny shares her feelings about motherhood
12:57What if we didn't have kids?
13:00ever
13:01I'm your life is so great. Why would we want to change that?
13:04So we certainly weren't expecting her to announce that she's pregnant in the series finale
13:09She had shown audiences that not everyone has parental instincts and that's okay
13:14Some even felt that her pregnancy was a disservice to the character and to the fans who she'd helped feel seen
13:20Someone's gonna figure it out. Why don't we just tell people? Oh, it's too early. I haven't you wrap my head around it
13:25I have my head is wrapped
13:28Something else have been wrapped wouldn't be in this situation
13:30Still while penny voices apprehension about the road ahead. She seemingly accepted this plot twist in her life plan
13:37Do you wanna
13:40Well, I can't get more pregnant the creators explains that this decision was their way of honoring penny and Leonard's relationship after all
13:48Remember what Leonard told Sheldon in the pilot?
13:51Sheldon sure does he said to me that their babies would be smart and beautiful
13:58And now that they're expecting I have no doubt that that will be the case number nine
14:03Penny breaks up with Leonard
14:05Remember when Will Wheaton manipulated penny into breaking up with Leonard just to win a bowling match
14:10To be fair the cracks in the relationship were already there after Leonard dropped the L bomb and penny wasn't ready to say it back
14:17I said, I love you, and you said thank you. Good night
14:22Don't push it. I am NOT pushing anything
14:25You are you don't get to decide when I'm ready to say I love you since Leonard wouldn't drop it
14:30We weren't sure the relationship would survive the episode anyway, but Wheaton gives penny that final nudge to call it quits
14:37Yeah, I wish that she had just broken up with me right there
14:40Put me out of my misery
14:42Really? Yeah, it would have been kind
14:45Well, you're up. Oh, that's me watching her run off in tears was a major blow
14:50It's not the only time her emotional walls left our jaws hanging either in fact
14:55We don't think anyone was more taken aback than penny when she finally told Leonard
14:59She loves him several seasons later. No, that's the first time you ever said that you love me
15:06Yeah, number eight Howard has a half-brother
15:10Howard's upset after Sheldon unearths a letter from his estranged father and shares its
15:15Contents with their friends to make it up to him the game presents Howard with several possible narratives
15:21Only one of which is true. It was a letter explaining that your dad wasn't who he said he was
15:27Eventually his other life caught up to him and the only way to keep you and your mom safe was to leave however
15:32None of them mentioned another family or any half siblings
15:36So when a young man turned up at the door claiming that he and Howard share a father, we were pretty shocked
15:42Are you saying you're my half-brother?
15:45I think so
15:48Bernadette weird things are happening out here
15:50Although not nearly as half as astonished as Howard after a rocky start
15:55Howard and his half-brother Josh get to know each other and even bond. I can't believe my brother's an astronaut. That's amazing
16:01What was it like listen dude? It's time
16:04Young man asked a good question
16:06So it was equally as surprising that Josh seemingly exited Howard's life as quickly as he entered it
16:13number seven
16:14Sheldon double-crosses his friends in the season 10 episode the gyroscopic collapse
16:20Leonard Sheldon and Howard are
16:22Devastated after the military suddenly kicks him off their gyroscopic project without any warning and while that was a significant blow
16:29It was arguably dwarfed by Sheldon's betrayal a season later better not be working on our project because we're a team
16:36Leonard there is no I in team
16:40However, there is an eye and I'm working with the military and you're not Leonard discovers
16:44Sheldon has been working with the military behind his and Howard's backs where we shocked that Sheldon selfishly sold out his friends
16:51No, not really. You know what you like to think that you're just like Tesla, but the truth is you're exactly like Edison
16:58You take that back. No, he's right
17:01Actually given his record with secret-keeping we're amazed he held on to this one for as long as he did
17:06Still we did not see this coming. Can you believe they said I was just like Edison getting in front of a lady?
17:13no less
17:15You are building on their work and taking the credit for it. That's a classic Edison move
17:21Sheldon is such an Edison
17:23Number six Raj speaks to penny for the first half of the series Raj's selective mutism prevented him from speaking to women
17:31Well, not without some liquid courage one day
17:34I'm a carefree bachelor and the next I'm married and driving a minivan to peewee cricket matches and suburban, New Delhi
17:40Are you talking to me but that all changes after he experiences heartbreak when his girlfriend Lucy dumps him via text
17:47Later on penny tries to console him and reassure him that his emotions are heightened by alcohol
17:52And that's when he drops a major revelation that had us rewinding to make sure we'd heard him correctly
17:59I I'm unlovable
18:02That's just the booze talking. No, it's not. I haven't had a drink since I was a kid
18:08It's not I haven't had a drink since last night
18:10Not only is this a huge moment for the character, but it hit us practically in every field. You're talking to me. I
18:17am
18:23Much like penny and Raj we felt happy and emotional but above it all we were utterly stunned
18:30number five Amy confronts Sheldon
18:33Season 12 documented Sheldon and Amy's turbulent path to winning a Nobel Prize
18:38So we were pleasantly surprised when the call finally came
18:53However Sheldon soon mars the celebrations with his selfish and egotistical behavior
18:59Well, this is hardly out of character we were astounded when Amy finally called him out, but it's not more important than our friends
19:08How can you call them friends when they're abandoning us?
19:12They're abandoning us because you broke their hearts
19:15Usually she's very gentle with him or chooses to overlook his eccentricities
19:20But not this time this time she lets him have it and doesn't hold back. You never mean to
19:27It's the only reason people tolerate you
19:33Does that include you
19:38Sometimes yeah, Sheldon's so taken aback that for the first time he genuinely begins to self-reflect
19:45His introspective Nobel acceptance speech was something none of us could have foreseen. I apologize if I haven't been the friend you deserve
19:53But I want you to know in my way I
20:01Love you all number four Raj and Penny sleep together
20:05Most of us know that feeling when life's got us down and we look for a quick fix to get those endorphins flowing
20:12Penny's feeling upset about Leonard and Priya's relationship and Raj is sick of hearing his friend and sister getting it on
20:18Can I tell you a secret? Yeah, I
20:21I screwed up
20:23Leonard's a great guy never should have broken up with him. The pair airs their grievances over some wine one thing leads to another and
20:31We didn't know how this night would end but we can guarantee this wouldn't have cracked our top 10 guesses. Oh god
20:44Oh God to make matters worse
20:47Penny doesn't even manage to sneak out unnoticed the most hilarious part
20:52However is Penny's shock and annoyance that Raj still can't speak to her. Okay. Look this never happened
20:59Do you understand me?
21:04Really still can't talk to me
21:06Number three Howard's mom dies
21:09When Carol and Susie who so memorably voiced mrs
21:13Wolowitz passed away
21:14We braced ourselves for an emotional farewell and although we knew it was coming
21:20It didn't make the moment any less shocking or heartbreaking. That was my
21:24aunt
21:26Ma took a nap
21:29She never woke up
21:34Showrunner Steve Malaro shared how important it was for them to honor their friend and colleague and give her the send-off she deserved
21:42Indeed it's a beautiful tribute that shows how loved she was by everyone on the show
21:47Sheldon even has an out-of-character moment that surprised us all but was incredibly heartwarming
21:55When I lost my own father I didn't have any friends to help me through it
22:02You do plus Leonard's toast at the end of the episode gave the viewers the space to grieve alongside the cast
22:09loving mother
22:12To all of us
22:17We'll miss you
22:19number two
22:20Sheldon proposes when we first met Sheldon his odds of engaging in an intimate relationship were practically
22:27Non-existent. So as we mentioned earlier every new milestone with Amy felt groundbreaking
22:33From their first kiss to their first. I love you's to their first time. You don't want to spoil anything, but
22:40You should know that Sheldon said he's ready to be physical you shut your damn mouth
22:45We were gutted when they broke up, especially after learning that Sheldon had other plans. Well Gollum
22:55You're an expert on rings
22:58What do I do with this one in
23:00Season 10 while Amy's away Ramona Nowitzki returns to Sheldon's life after she kisses him
23:07He excuses himself and embarks on a mysterious journey
23:10We were just as surprised as Amy's to hear those three knocks on her door
23:19Even more so when she opened it and there he was on one knee
23:23Will you marry me before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions
23:32Sheldon catches his mom with a gentleman caller given everything we knew about Mary this definitely took us by surprise
23:41This definitely took us by surprise
23:43We're leaving right now
23:45I
23:48Saw my mommy with a naked man, and she was trying to be a mommy again
23:55Penny's married what happens in Vegas does not always stay in Vegas. We had one of those silly fake weddings
24:07Penny
24:08You know those are real right no
24:10They're not Leonard slapped Sheldon we could feel the years of pent-up frustration
24:16Reverberate through that slap can you believe it? That's a good point. What if I'm dreaming?
24:23Mark Hamill shows up the series boasts an impressive
24:26Who's who of guest stars, but this one took our shock levels to a galaxy far far away?
24:32I'm gonna need a minute
24:40Beverly kisses Sheldon we knew they'd connected, but not quite that intimately speaking of warm feelings
24:48Come here

25:17Number one
25:18Leonard forgives his mom to say that Leonard and his mom have a tricky relationship would be a
25:25Monumental understatement
25:26We often saw how her distant parenting style shaped his childhood and continued to hurt him in adulthood. I can't believe this
25:36What you seem angry of course I'm angry in the final season
25:40Leonard believes they're finally growing closer only to be bitterly let down once more like Leonard
25:46We were all fired up for a reckoning. That was a long time coming. I see so
25:51You're here to tell me all the ways that I failed you as a mother yeah
25:56And get comfortable cuz it's a long list however
26:00We were stunned when he chose to forgive her instead he realizes
26:04She'll never change and the only way to heal his pain is to let it go. I forgive you I
26:11Didn't ask you to forgive you bad. I forgive you anyway
26:16And I forgive myself for taking so long to do it oh
26:20Oh my god, that feels okay
26:22It's a poignant moment made even more powerful by Johnny Galecki and Christine Baranski's phenomenal acting
