Leonard and Penny's Scene Was Ruined by Audience Member's Loud 'Ew'
Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco once pointed an audience member toward the exit for disrupting a scene between Penny and Leonard.
The Big Bang Theory began airing in 2007 and had a successful run for over a decade. However, some fans believe the show could have continued for much longer, given its popularity and enormous fandom.
Even years after the sitcom's conclusion, fans just love re-watching their favorite episodes and may be surprised to learn that some of these episodes include unscripted moments that were kept in the final cut due to their realism and humor.
For example, actor Johnny Galecki's laughter during some scenes was not part of the script but rather a result of him having a hard time keeping a straight face during filming.
Some of the show's most beloved episodes have gained even more emotional significance after videos of improvised scenes and hilarious bloopers have resurfaced online.
These videos provide fans with a behind-the-scenes look at the show and allow them to enjoy moments that were sometimes even funnier than the on-screen jokes.
Many of the best behind-the-scenes moments involve the actors struggling to keep a straight face during particularly humorous and absurd scenes.
And in some cases, even the audience played a role in these moments, such as when an audience member's unexpected reaction disrupted a Penny/Leonard scene, to the dismay of Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco.
In the season 10 episode The Cohabitation Experimentation, Sheldon moves out of Apartment 4A to try out living with Amy. On the Hofstadters' first night alone, Leonard suggests that he and Penny do something they could never have done while Sheldon was there: blast music and dance in their underwear.
Penny watches in horror as Leonard performs John Travolta's dance from Pulp Fiction.
However, during the initial take of the scene, before Leonard could drop his pants, an audience member, apparently not thrilled with the idea of seeing Galecki nearly naked, exclaimed "ew," which totally ruined the mood.
After hearing the reaction, Cuoco couldn't help but start laughing. She said, "I'm sorry, she said ew." After laughing it off, the two TBBT stars playfully pointed out the audience member and asked them to leave.
Though Cuoco and Galecki's reaction was a joke, fans seem to agree that the audience member was in the wrong. The majority of viewers love the humor of the scene, and think that Leonard's moves were spot on.
