101 Facts About The Big Bang Theory

ahoy-hoy mother factors and welcome to this rather brainy edition of 101 facts I'm Sam and this week we're looking at a sitcom phenomenon that's made many people all over the world rofl nope not that one all that one oh that's no dear for a video though all this one wait is that even real no I'm talking the Big Bang Theory but how has the Big Bang Theory been improving science and lives which raunchy S&M scene was banned from TV I stopped my toe on the way in is anyone got plaster two out of three those questions are going to be answered so get knocking thrice on that door as we learn about math science history unraveling the mystery that all started with 101 facts about the Big Bang Theory under words by the big Big Bang Theory for number one the Big Bang Theory is the hypothesis that the formation of our universe was from a huge cosmological explosion of matter thirteen point eight million years ago number two our balls wrong one Darmok live this is about the other one the Big Bang Theory is an American TV sitcom that started all the way back in 2007 number three it tells the classic Shakespearean tale of two awkward physicists Sheldon and Leonard and an attractive lady woman Henny who lives next door wait that's not a Shakespearean tale it sounds like it should be number four the show was created by sitcom big cheese and two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre and sitcom big boy producer Bill Prady number five the show stars Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper Johnny Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter and Kaley Cuoco as penny a no last name apparently she's like cher or Beyonce or wrong number six but hey it's not just them you know there's also Simon Helberg as Howard Wolowitz Kunal Nayyar as Raj Koothrappali and melissa rauch as Bernadette Rostenkowski number seven season turn is airing right now as we speak at the moment and there's over two hundred and fourteen episodes in total ma'am right its first season had around 8.4 million viewers by the second season it had 10 million viewers by the time season 9 came along they had twenty point three million viewers crikey I reckon 101 will have that soon right guys right number nine in 2014 the Big Bang Theory became the first TV series to be given a 3 series renewal twice which shows some big old balls from the network limits earlier knob attack in January 2016 Chuck Lorre announced that season 10 will not be the last season and later CBS network confirmed that the 11th season would indeed be happening will it ever end will it I'm asking you number 11 the show has been nominated 39 times for the Emmys it's only 1/8 times only 8 times number 12 Jim Parsons is the only cast member to win an Emmy and has been nominated more times than any other cast member he's won four Emmys and one Golden Globe number 13 however across the board the show has won 52 awards including two wins from the Critics Choice Television Awards for Best Supporting Actor Simon Helberg and indeed actress Kaley Cuoco number 14 the show was not pitched in a traditional way you know like a man standing in front of a board begging for his idea of a sexy space gladiator movie starring him and Jennifer Lawrence have you made while crying or maybe that's just my experience the creator's revealed it to PaleyFest in 2009 that they put a script together hired actors and put on a mini show but the CBS president damn it this might have done number fifteen the theorists is a Belarusian ripoff of the show legal action was being considered but all the cast quit when they realized that they were being duped about the producers owning the rights after this the show was cancelled number sixteen Jim Parsons is an imposter even though Sheldon is a big fan of Star Trek and Doctor Who Jim himself doesn't what either of them it's like he's pretending or something what a scumbag number 17 Sheldon Leonard Raj Howard Leslie and Amy all work at the California Institute for technology aka Caltech which in case you didn't know is a real private institution number 18 Howard is a black sheep not literally in that he's the only one out of the four guys that doesn't have a doctoral degree although he does have a master's degree in engineering so you know exactly slacker number 19 Howard is also the only person after the boys anyway to have not seen penny in the altogether so to speak he must be gutted number 20 the show was banned in China in 2014 BBT was taken off China's number one streaming service so Hoover had 1.3 billion views there are speculations over the reasons why this happened some say was because they wanted to cut down on US influence while others say that China said it was because they didn't want nerdy to be considered cool or trendy number 21 Chuck Lorre himself considered it a communist strike against individualism none of this now matters however as the ban lasted a year and is now lifted number 22 Oh in most episodes Leonard has no lenses in his glasses and he calls himself a genius number 23 Sheldon and Leonard both sort of have the same name let me explain they are both named after the late TV actor and producer Sheldon Leonard see same name finder number 24 even though Sheldon is assumed to have Asperger's syndrome or to fall somewhere on the autistic spectrum the showrunners deny he has any syndrome whatsoever and say that he's just Sheldon number 25 Parsons however has gone against the grain and stated the opposite saying that he plays Sheldon with one of these conditions number 26 even though they don't really flaunt it each character has their own costume so to speak Sheldon almost always wears shirts with a familiar logo over a long sleeve top Leonard wears a hoodie or jumper under his jacket Raj wears a sweater vest and a shirt and Howard wears a bright colored Dickie shirt haha Dickie and a high neck shirt they all look bloody tremendous though don't they number 27 Sheldon t-shirts have become a very popular feature within the series the T's are usually bright colored with a famous logo or superhero symbol on the chest Sheldon's flash t-shirt is the one he's most recognized for possibly more so than Barry Allen which must hurt number 28 there's a fern theory that the color of Sheldon's t-shirt reflects its mood for example red equals angry yellow equals fear and green equals courage a little bit like the Green Lantern Corps actually hmm by coincidence it's also how I called make my pants I'm wearing my voiceover thong today though number 29 you may notice Marvel fans that Sheldon the majority of the time only wears DC superhero tees why in the name of Howard the Duck is this the case I hear you ask well the Big Bang Theory is owned by Warner Brothers and those bros also only intellectual property of the DC movies so you know it's like cross-pollination number third a bazinga is Sheldon's famous catchphrase even though he doesn't say it even anything remotely like that voice I'm not sure white anyway even though you'd assume he's been saying it since the first episode you actually only says it for the first time in the season two finale bazinga not a31 the phrase came from an inside joke with the writers writer Steven Engel would often say bazinga instead of saying gotcha after a practical joke you know like the prankster he is for this reason it eventually made its way into the script number 32 a new species of jellyfish has been named after Sheldon's famous catchphrase in 2011 an American scientist named Alicia and Gershwin named the tiny grape sized jellyfish the bazinga Rijeka after old Shelley no berry play elsewhere in the animal kingdom in 2013 a species of Brazilian bee was named after the catchphrase to being called der u Glosser bazinga number 34 elsewhere elsewhere in the animal kingdom there's also an episode of Two and a Half Men called bazinga that's from a TV show number 35 when he first auditioned for the show Jim Parsons thought he was auditioning for a gameshow Wow okay well that's quite a mistake but we've all been there Parsons did not know who Chuck Lorre was at the time and mistook him for the famous game show host Chuck Woolery number 36 coincidentally in a recent interview Mayim Bialik also revealed that she thought it was a game show too maybe it's just a couple thing she had never heard of the Big Bang Theory and thought it was a game show because someone had told her she was mentioned in the first season or run that later number 37 it took two pilots as in episode not these kinds of high notes for the show to get picked up CBS wasn't a fan of the first pilot but I'd like the idea enough and ordered the creator's to make a second one number 38 some tweaks were made when it came to the second pilot Leonard and Sheldon were still the main characters but CBS for some reason dropped the two main female leads Gilda and Katey and replace them with penny instead number 39 Katy who is now penny was a cynical hard drinking streetwise girl who worked in a beauty salon so not a million miles away from penny really I guess number 40 Gilda's character on the other hand was slightly downgraded from main character status and instead was developed into another character named leslie winkle number 41 the first pilot also didn't include Raj and has never been aired on TV but you can find some of it leaking all around the internet he'll the meaning of life also in the original pilot Sheldon had an active sex drive and openly talks about masturbation and his sexual desires like a weird cousin that you don't invite for Christmas anymore as we know this is odd because the shoulder we know today has little interest in sex and it's considered to be a sexual number 43 but he does eventually do the deed so to speak with his girlfriend Amy Farrah Fowler in season 9 on her birthday after five years of dating well done him I remember my first time - not allowed to number dongs again number 44 that episode was entitled the opening night excitation season 9 episode 11 and has been the highest-rated of the series I'm glad the audience had as nice a time as Amy did number 45 actress Mayim Bialik who plays Amy Farrah Fowler has an actual real-life neuroscience PhD from UCLA for realsies she's also earned degrees in neuroscience Hebrew studies and Jewish studies and she plays the harp - it's the only thing this lady can't do number 46 she is in the only cast member who can play an instrument either Jim Parsons learn to play the theremin Simon Helberg can play the piano and Johnny Galecki learned to play the cello number 47 actress Kate Micucci nearly had the role of Amy even though she didn't get the role sad face the producers were impressed with her and kept her in mind for the future hmm I wonder what for number 48 I'll tell you what for makuu t came back in season 6 to fill the slot of lucy rogers love interest sorry I could have worded that had better number 49 another frequent gag throughout the show is Sheldon's knock penny penny penny even though it's a light-hearted joke it actually has quite dark origins number 50 goodness me it revealed that Sheldon knocks its way because when he was 13 he opened his parents room without knocking ever a good move there he saw his dad in bed with another woman so from then on the first knock is to alert people that he's actually there and the second and third are for people to get their pants on that's that's quite sad number 51 but he didn't always have this OCD tendency in the fifth episode of season one he knocks on Penny's door completely normally don't under there out of ten literally unwatchable number 52 soft kitty is the song that Sheldon's mum used to sing to him as a child number 53 soft kitty was inspired by the children's song warm kitty by Edith Newlin in the 1930s the lyrics were changed from warm to soft because of potential copyright issues another video for in December 2015 those potential issues became slightly less potential Edith Newlands Ayer filed a lawsuit and sued Warner Brothers and the producers for apparently making it seem like the song was made by them as well as using it on the show and on merchandise without permission number 55 being on one of the most successful comedies on TV Parsons Coco and Galecki are paid 1 million dollars per episode 1 million dollars will you even spend that money on number 36 Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar don't quite get that much but don't feel too sorry for them as they still get 22 million dollars per year number 57 we'll know something a bit weird about howard's bedroom howard only has female figurines and toys including his big Princess Leia doll as well as posters of only women on his bedroom walls that being said though he does have a Boba Fett poster and a figurine Jabba the Hutt's who maybe aren't quite as sexy number 58 the show's opening credits have 109 images that depict the progression of life on Earth this collection of images includes prehistoric images such as dinosaurs cavemen in the first wheel iconic people like Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein and iconic art works such as da Vinci or the pyramids there's also an image of a breakdancing group and two little boys playing on a Playstation one number 59 the theme song was written and performed by barenaked ladies the Canadian alternative rock bands not just nude women by coincidence the lead singer Edie Robertson had at a concert improvised a freestyle rap about how the universe was formed this by the way was before being approached to make the theme song number sick day the theme song uses the line the otros beginner drew me this is a clever science joke as the word autotroph means self a nourishing and refers the life forms like plants that create their own food internally and don't need to eat hilarious number 61 the show was nearly called Lennie penny and Kenny because the Sheldon was nearly called Kenny thank Christ it wasn't never succeeded who originally the theme was going to be she blinded me with science by Thomas Dolby however after the first pilot was ditched the creators decided to switch it up number 36 63 sorry this original theme song does appear many times in the show however as helmets ringtone Nintendo 64 originally rod could only talk to women when he was slightly tipsy this trait is based on producer Bill Prady who used to become anxious when talking to the opposite sex earlier in his life I'm sure all the money the show's given him has probably helped that problem along number 65 that being said in season 2 while thinking he's drinking alcoholic beer which he isn't he charms and flirts with actress Summer Glau with no problem so maybe it's all in this head after all number 66 howard is named after an old colleague of prady's the more you know number 67 apparently Jim Parsons absolutely nailed his audition blowing Laurie away not literally saying Jim was one of the most startling auditions I've ever seen in my life or they're probably not in that voice however he had Parsons perform another audition on a separate occasion just to make sure the first one wasn't a fluke number 68 Sheldon is such a popular character the Warner Brothers and CBS are in early stages of producing a script for a Sheldon spin-off show the show will be a prequel to Big Bang and will be about Sheldon as a kid slash team so maybe we'll be able to see that Sheldon what whose dad bang a woman scene array number 69 Oh there have been reports that Parsons has taken interest in being executive producer on that show too because presumably he doesn't have enough money by now number 7d at the end of the credits of the show a one-second clip of a vanity card written by Chuck Lorre appears each card is written in first person almost like a diary entry and is too long to read in the one-second flash this is a trademark of Laurie's and he has them attached to all of his work luckily for you guys there's a whole website archive where you can read them all number 71 before supreme eternal ruler of the world from I mean President Trump was elected there were some subtle words for him on vanity card 5 for 1 and on the 3rd of November 2016 including don't be fooled Big Daddy can't save us make America great again is a bumper sticker for victimhood and lots and lots of use number 72 production of the show was halted in 2007 because of the Writers Guild of America strike it was replaced with a very short-lived sitcom named welcome to the captain in the time it was off air number 73 in real life or IRL as the kids say kaley cuoco and Johnny Galecki are actually exes they dated in secret that devious buggers during 2008 and 2009 God that must have been all set for the wedding number 74 Wil Wheaton plays an evil version of himself on the show and the nemesis of Sheldon how did he get this gig or here you ask well a little blue bird told me Twitter number 75 after tweeting about the show he was invited along to a taping days later prayed he emailed him asking if you wanted to be on the show which Wheaton took as a joke but it wasn't a joke and he now recurringly appears in the series I'm gonna try now let me see ah there this should work number 76 stop all the presses we should have never slept together it's what ruins friendships you can't ruin a friendship with sex that's like trying to ruin ice cream with chocolate sprinkles no let's haven't done it that originally didn't have a high-pitched voice it was only when the creators began to develop my character a bit more did she gain a high tones number 78 actress melissa rauch based Bernadette's new voice on her own mother's voice except without the choisi sorry that was my attempted Joisey Jersey I mean I should really stop doing accents this week number 79 in 2012 the whole cast and crew surprised the showrunners and creators and the live audience for the call me maybe' flashmob it was led by kaley cuoco who brought her sister along to choreograph the routine parsons even said bazinga at the end - ah number 80 the hallways and staircases of the apartment block that the gang live in is actually one set they just dress it differently depending on the scene to make it look like there are three floors the magic of telling a number 81 the show is filmed at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank which is actually alarmingly close to the University where the gang work that must be a fairly decent commute that own bite the carrot is not real number 82 fans will know that the address of the apartment building is 2 3 1 1 Los Robles Avenue Pasadena California or rather I did anyway but in the countdown reflection the final episode of the fifth season a satellite image of the apartment looks like it's located at 2 1 5 South Madison Avenue what gives guys what Gibbs number 83 as a teenager Amy Kistler nerd kinda Mayim Bialik starred as the main character in a show called blossom in the mid-90s a young Johnny Galecki started an episode where he plays her love interest and they share an onscreen kiss Bialik later even emitted this may have been her first real-life kiss ahh number 84 in season 1 episode 13 Raj suggests that they recruit the girl from blossom to their physics bowling team you know is apparently very smart is the goal of a TVs blossom this is one season before she joined the cast number 85 the math on the whiteboards and the background of the scene of the show are real and accurate UCLA physics professor dr. David Saltzburg was recruited in 2007 as a science consultant and is probably responsible for drawing them all up number 86 Amy's apartment door number is 3-1 for a reference to the number pi that kami rounded off to 3.14 the actress who played Howard's mom Carol Ann Susi passed away in 2014 a photo of her was put on Sheldon and Leonard's fridge and can be seen in all the episodes since her unfortunate death number 88 in the German dubbed version of the show the actor who dubs Sheldon is the very same German person who dubs Leonardo DiCaprio's work his name is Jared Schmidt Foss in case you want to look him up in the phone book number 89 in the film the interview starring Seth Rogen and James Franco as reporters you go to North Korea BBT actually turns out to be Kim Jong Un's favorite show I'm not sure how accurate that is to real-life but it's nice to know number not 90 really wow the show has had many famous scientists made guest appearances as themselves ill neither science guy Neil deGrasse Tyson and even Stephen Hawking have auld appeared on the BB T number 91 in the hundredth episode Leonard asks penny out again penny is wearing the same top she wore in the pilot perhaps representing Leonard fully in love with her all over again ha ha number 92 the latest season has a raunchy scene in a sex dungeon in episode 7 we've all been there supposedly the scene has been banned by advertisers in the UK because of the content and Penny's revealing outfit sorry I got distracted by come and Galecki also posted this post to Instagram to how kind of them hey Siri remind me to look up where they got the equipment from mine's broke oh wow the mic still on ok number 93 Tandy Coco had to audition twice for Penny and didn't get the part either time obviously they called her back eventually and said Yale right but still kami that must have sucked I'm sorry number 94 on over 5 episodes of season 6 Amy's right hand was concealed in certain ways using props and camera shots this wasn't because she was pregnant and her bloomers on her right hand that's a very weird thing to think but actually it's because she had broken her hand in an automobile accident number 95 during season 4 Coco missed some filming because she broke her leg in a horse riding accident she was filmed standing behind a counter almost all the time number 96 kevin sussman you play Stuart bloom the comic store owner actually worked in a comic store before becoming an actor that's a method right there number 97 penny works at the Cheesecake Factory which is a real chain of restaurants however penny doesn't wear the same uniform as the workers do in the actual restaurant and no all signs are in the show this is Brody because there is no formal agreement between the show and the restaurant chain number 98 despite this they state that the cheese factory is really pleased to be featured on such a funny and wildly popular show so and I'm hungry now number 99 in season 7 episode 12 sheldon punishes amy by spanking her which in the original script was supposed to happen off screen however parsons did some improvising i guess and spanked Amy for real during the filming which I'm sure must have taken her a little bit more surprise parsa's believes that the show has many viewers because of its lack of story arc he says there's not anything to keep up with you can enjoy our show without a weekly appointment yeah you can same with one on one fact - that is until I choose my subliminal so pop for about Clive and his wife who actually turns out to be a toaster not twist number 101 The Big Bang Theory can help you get an education - Chuck Lorre has created the Big Bang Theory scholarship endowment to provide financial aid to low-income UCLA students are watching fake nerds can make you smart it's cool and give you money maybe I should watch him more or you know learn science hmm now that was 101 fads about the Big Bang Theory and I don't know about you but I had a lovely time watching that and making it and doing the thing and write the thinking how's the Barenaked Ladies actually if you want more 101 pack videos like I really want to own Sheldon's t-shirt collection then click on subscribe right now and you'll get exactly that also penny Bernadette you
