The Big Bang Theory's Most Underrated Scene Named Fans' All-Time Favorite
The Big Bang Theory has no shortage of great moments.
After an impressive 12-season run, it should come as no surprise that fans tend to disagree on which scene is the all-time favourite. With so many to choose from, all hitting the heartstrings in different ways, it can be difficult for even one person to pick the best of them all. When you have a lot of fans debating the same topic, you can bet there will be some strong contenders.
Fans have particularly favoured the scenes that mix real heart with feel-good laughs. This has always been an area where TBBT shines, mixing beautiful, tender moments with light-hearted fun.
All the proposals and weddings were suggested by several fans. Sheldon and Amy's first kiss, Howard going into space with the whole gang watching on TV, and of course, the wonderful Bollywood dance number with Raj and Bernadette were also strong contenders for the top spot.
But one stood triumphant overall. It's the moment when Howard and the gang perform a song for Bernadette while she is stuck in quarantine.
Howard's plan was to have the group perform the song for her at a romantic restaurant to celebrate the anniversary of their first date. Unfortunately, Bernadette has a mishap with some raccoon virus at her work and winds up in hospital quarantine as a precaution. Not one to be defeated, Howard gathers his friends so they can still perform the song for her in the hospital.
What follows is a touching, love-filled, and hilarious moment in which Bernadette is serenaded by the man she loves and her dearest friends.
The emotion on her face is such a sweet sight to behold, as is the clear joy from Howard and the gang as they sing for her. Well, except Sheldon, who makes it clear he is there reluctantly, but he nevertheless does attend and join in.
It is not hard to see why fans have chosen this one as their all-time favourite scene. It features the entire main cast and is a demonstration of love for Bernadette, not just from Howard, but from one of the most wonderful groups of friends television has ever seen.
The song is catchy and romantic, and embraces so many pop culture themes that we have come to know and adore it as a part of the TBBT universe. "If I Didn't Have You [Bernadette's Song]" was so loved that it was even made available on iTunes following the episode being aired.
