5 Big Bang Theory's Cringiest Moments That Aged Like Milk
The show still holds better than many others, but some jokes are worth skipping.
Although The Big Bang Theory was not released that long ago, the standards for sitcom humor were much lower than they are today.
With a plethora of wonderful jokes referencing pop culture and science, many poorly written ones came to even the odds.
And while The Big Bang Theory has held up well and is still fun to watch, some of the moments are already considered cringeworthy by fans.
Here are 5 Big Bang Theory moments that might make you very uncomfortable if you want to re-watch the show today.
Howard putting a webcam in Penny's bear
Unfortunately, it wasn't the only time Penny had to deal with the downright creepy attention of her male friends, but it was one of the most disturbing lines.
And it is no surprise that the dialog continued with Howard asking about another woman without apology.
Leonard's mother accusing Raj and Howard of being gay
Aside from the whole interaction being extremely unfriendly, and Leonard's friend happily throwing him under the bus even when he asks her for support, Leonard's mother seems to be homophobic.
Her aggressive commentary is underscored by Raj and Howard's intense attempts to defend themselves from such horrible accusations.
Penny confronting Lucy after she broke up with Raj
Surely there was another way for Penny to support her friend without making a public show of it and humiliating the girl who struggles with social anxiety.
Penny's short temper, mixed with the racist remark about Raj being Indian, puts her in a very bad light and makes you sympathize with Lucy a little more.
Sheldon giving Alex a sexual harassment talk
Of all people, Sheldon Cooper may be the worst person to give advice on such a sensitive subject.
While his intentions were in no way malicious, he managed to make her very uncomfortable and made some very inappropriate comments about women being slaves to their reproductive systems.
Sheldon gifting movies based on race
As much as many people enjoy Sheldon's straightforwardness, he sometimes crosses the line and acts very rudely.
While trying to impress Mrs. Davis from Human Resources, he gives her the movie Roots while making a snide comment about slavery.
When he leaves her office, he goes to another co-worker and gives them a whole collection of Jackie Chan movies, implying that they're Asian.
