There's a huge difference with how Sheldon treats everyone else and then Raj Sure he lectures Raj about his own culture, but he's a lot nicer to Raj than he is to Leonard, Howard and everyone else

No, yellow is freighted or scared. A coward is often referred to as having a yellow streak down his back.

I was proud of Howard for being a good partner and covering for Bernadette in this episode.

Yes, yellow is traditionally associated with fear. There was a funny line on MASH when Alan Alda said, "I'm a coward, my whole family are cowards. Our family crest is a cringing chicken on a field of yellow." 😄

Colors have different meaning in other cultures, yellow can also mean fear in the west, hence the term “yellow belly” and “yellow streak” meaning coward. In Green Lantern lore, there are Yellow Lanterns whose power derives from fear.

Melissa Rauch (Bernadette) is great in this episode! Fun fact - Melissa voiced Harley Quinn in the animated direct-to-video 'Batman and Harley Quinn' from 2017. And now Kaley Cuoco voices Harley Quinn for the adult animated 'Harley Quinn' show.

Oh Raj, you poor innocent soul lmao. I'm just glad he never got in trouble for indecent exposure xD

Sheldon’s version of chess sounds interesting, like a mix of D&D and Warhammer.

Not sure if someone else already mentioned this before, but regarding colors and emotions, there's a theory (that I think may be confirmed by someone on the show) that the color of Sheldon's shirts indicate the mood he is feeling during the episode. I don't remember all the colors and their meaning, but I do know that yellow was used to represent fear, red = anger, and I think black = sadness. For example, a few episodes ago, when Sheldon couldn't figure out the magic trick, he switched to wearing black. Although it's interesting to note the emotions he himself assigns to the colors in this episode, bc iirc for his shirts, blue actually means hope. Anyways, just thought this was a fun Easter egg that people could look out for in future episodes :)

Cowards were called Yellow. cf. Kenny Roger's song 'Coward of the County' "Everyone considered him the coward of the county. He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong. His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him Yellow..."

"I can't do this! I went to Catholic school!"

Nothing beats the Penny-Bernadette-Amy dynamic! 😂👍 #LadiesRule! BTW: It is not true: *lozenge* does rhymes with *Orange*

The drop came early! nice!

How strange, in Italy the "architect" became an "astrologist".♉♍♒ Which I think is even a better explaination of the auto-correct mistake, astrologist being more similar to astronaut than architect. Anyway, beautiful reaction as always Eric. 👍

12:25 You've never heard "yellow" used as a synonym for cowardice? (Google) Apparently, "yellow" is short for "yellow-bellied," which is a slang word for "cowardice" dating back to the early 19th century, but the origin of that term is obscure.

Yellow is frigtned because in the dc verse the yellow lantern represents fear

I do believe that for the show talking about emotions was talking about the Green lantern perspective of emotional spectrum

When someone acts cowardly they are called yellow. If someone is cowardly that is probably because they are frightened by the person or thing. So yellow makes sense, Yellow for joy makes no sense.

he would be arrested for indecent exposer it would be the lawyer job to explain the drug and sue the company

I love this episode! Great reaction 😊

WOOOOO, EARLY UPLOAD, I'm gonna watch this on my coffee break ^_^

Yellow fear because Green lantern Yellow is the power of fear

As much as I don't like Raj, I am jealous of that lady who got to see his thing 😅

Yellow was used as a color for afraid as people would call someone yellow-bellied as a taunt if someone was afraid to do something. i think this originated back in like the 70s so that would explain why you would be unfamiliar with that

And I thought Stealth Chess sounded complicated.

I'm not sure pope isn't a new piece in chess, there is the bishop and the pope is a bishop, though for some weird reason in swedish the bishop is called "runner" and that is more confusing 🙂 I wouldn't want to play three player chess even with the normal rules, would be way too complicated to think ahead and try to decide on who to attack 🤪

yes Eric, he is playing with himself...

Holy cow - there really ARE numerous versions of three-player chess. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-player_chess I don't know if any of them have jet packs or golf carts, though.

oh a great way to start my day

You have to self test a game during the construction phase

actually orange is color of afraid emotion

That's good. Drive careful!😘

Priya says they shared a room and you state "didn't they grow up rich?" BINGO! Logic issues or story background issues. There are a few throughout and you'll just have to overlook and enjoy a LOL Raj will one day overcome his female induced anxiety and it is actually a touching moment. This show will have some. In fact one is coming next season and it involves...ready for it....Howard. 😆 BTW, Amy is a GREAT addition to the cast and she just gets funnier each season. Originally she was written as a Sheldon clone. Soon realized they already have a Sheldon. So her character was retooled...and it works. .

The next episode is much better. Raj is on fire with humor

Hahahahaha Bernadette fell apart in that lie

YELLOW has always meant being afraid. The term “what are you, yellow?” literally means “are you a coward?” Don’t know how you never heard that before. I assumed it was common knowledge.

Nono sheldon has a point. Playing 3 person chess could be peoblematic, since the person playing as 2 players might be tempted to focus the other person unknowingly.

I don’t like how no one calls out Penny and the others for basically bullying Priya but oh have the Leonard and the guys do it’s a problem. That’s my problem with Penny. She’s very hypocritical

Hello guys , i am the Godfather from the future ... it's sunny day , tuesday 12th May 2026 and we together with Eric just finished TBBT series , it was hell of a ride dont you think ? many emotions , many laughs , many tears .. 🤣🤣😅 you know , time travel jokes ...😅 But may i suggest something to you ? I recommend doing 2-3 episodes together in 1 video per week , it will be so much faster for you and for us .. and it is about one hour of shooting , then some editing time . Remember buddy , there is also Young Sheldon :) and there will be about 7 seasons of it probably ..maybe more :) ..and also .. please could you fix your audio little bit ? ..your mic is overboosted and TBBT audio quite low ..so when i set up correct volume of TBBT then you screaming loud - just try boost TBBT and apply some compressor filter to mic and it will be great . 👌

Howard put a check on Leneord then Leneord checkmated Sheldon?

Ever since first watching this episode, I have associated orange with loneliness.

Yellow is envy and greed.

And Raj wonders why he can't get a girlfriend...

Whitney Avalon

With Sheldon being from Texas and having somewhat "rustic upbringings" he was probably referencing the term "yella". Like accusing some one if they're yellow or scared.

In Green Lantern, yellow is the color of fear (and is Green Lantern's weakness).

penny is so cute and funny

Yellow belly

I don't think Prya is that bad, yes she kinda bosses Leonard around but she is quite the catch. Also half of my married friends are whipped to an extent so that happens.
