Yeah, that gets me too. The way he said it, was clear that he meant it from the heart. More importantly, he was proud he could have said it.

💯

DUDE! It is not Hollowitz but Wolowitz LOL

Hollowitz 😅😂😭😭😭😭

Same here. He gives Howard such grief over the series about being an Engineer and not having a PhD, but in that moment though he couldn't introduce Howard as Doctor he still used the highest title he could apply to Howard.

Like Harry finally said in Deathly Hallows about Snape per professor. :D

Especially since it was the achievement Howard was most proud of....and one that Sheldon himself even said he kinda envied him for. Definitely one of the most touching endings to a series I've seen. Anytime it just happens to be on tv, I still watch it and it still tugs at the heart.

It's the small, understated details like that which helped to make the series great.

LMAO

and the way he smiled at sheldon when he was addressed as astronaut

I'm literally watching that episode rn, I love this

Sheldon's Dad supported his son's genius more than his Mom did. He didn't understand it, but he loved and supported his son.

@@scottjoseph9578He’s did the best he could, but he isn’t always fully appreciated for what he does.

@@KhangNguyen-qn4bh After watching Young Sheldon, I really wish he hadn't died in the TBBT timeline.

​@@scottjoseph9578for me one moment sticks out. Sheldon's mom was the one resistant to him going to college. It was his dad that worked with him to make a game plan. Picking which college would be most palatable to her and then helping Sheldon record the video to convince her.

In particular since the way he says it shows that for the first time he truly means it in a respectful way. I remember him having previously told Howard how he'd wanted to be an astronaut and was frustrated when Howard got to go... because apparently they'll let just anyone up there. Here, it's clear he means it as a title of respect, and a form of apology for the constant denigration.

Sheldon's friends saved him from a trip to the mental institution.

They write in books also as introduction that they thank family and friends

He said very little about his wife . .

That’s what I said when I first saw the clip too 😂

Is she the same actress that was on the train when Raj and Howard tried to ask out?

@@gr8powerfuloz86 Nope that was Summer Glau!

It's Sarah Michelle Gellar, also of Cruel Intentions fame.

​@@gr8powerfuloz86that was Summer Glau from Firefly/Serenity. Another Joss Whedon show, like Buffy. I recommend watching it if you like sci fi or even if you don't. One of the best written shows ever.

I liked that, instead of pointing out that Howard wasn't a Doctor like he had so many times before, he instead honored Howard's greatest accomplishment of having been an astronaut

Yep..he used to call him space plumber

@@reddog6256 thats because his major contribution to NASA was a space toilet

❤️

@@larrydale5733 did you even watch the show? He went to space station to install a telescope not the toilet 🙃

Damn, I thought I was the only one who got emotional during that part but after reading the comments, lol.

Agreed, that acknowledgement was such a nice touch

So glad not to be the only one appreciating this particular segment

The most wonderful moment is when Howard goes to space and you can see the pride in Sheldon's face...

Yah

Everyone found the love of their life, except Raj. Let's not forget that part.

@@Ghostrider-ul7xn we never know, he could’ve found her right after the events of big bang, maybe if they make a spin-off we will know.

@@llcooltoys4447 yeah but we don't know that, but the fact that they ended the show with everyone except Raj getting married wouldn't exactly be considered as a happy ending imo. Among them, he was the one who longed a relationship so much, yet that didn't happen.

@@Ghostrider-ul7xn yes I’ve always thought that it was kind of sad that it ended with a cliffhanger for his relationship. I do agree and think the writers should’ve gave him true love, as he would’ve deserved it the most throughout the desperate attempt in the whole show.

Yeah when he said Astronaut Howard Wolowitz I started bawling . Amaazing ending

i ;thought the same thing. it was then he realized his speech was not what he really wanted to say, but he wanted to show recognition to the reason he was there, that he really wasn't alone the whole time, it was more than just him

The way he looks down at the medal and realizes is just “🥹🥹🥹”

Wow I didn't catch that That's awesome made me cry again

Yeah, it made a few appearances through out the series. When they had prom on the rooftop and Howard and Bernie's wedding are the two that are coming to mind atm.

And gave her a little kiss

@@misslisa1120 also i guess she wore the tiara during her own wedding too

Good eye!

It was the perfect ending.

Well but I really want zu see if Lenards and Pennys Baby is pretty and intelligent. But yes a good ending

And I’m sad that Raj ended up alone :(

The perfect ending for me would’ve been Howard getting his doctorate

WE CALL IT PERFECTION

It's coz we all thought, after he said "doctor Bernadette", that he'll mock Howard as usual, but he didn't. It surprised the audience (us). That's when I also couldn't hold it in no more

Its summertime sadness

The only way that line could have been improved would have if he'd said, "I apologize if I haven't been the friend you deserve, but you are the friends I needed to make me who I am today."

@@DarkLordDiablos" in my way, I love you" was the line in this series which teared me up the most..

Underrated comment. I felt exactly this way in that moment during Amy's speech

When they started cheering for him, I think is when he changed what he would say. They have been behind him every step of the way: his friend, tolerating him, putting him in his place. They loved him despite his flaws.

Hear hear.

@@blpalv15 The punchline of that cheer was them being happy he was setting his 39 page self-centered speech aside.

Excellent observation!

Exactly. Mayim’s true love for science shines brilliantly in her alter ego’s speech. What a fantastic series finale.

As a biologist and a woman, same here. Amy came on the show just after my 11th birthday, and I had already known for years that I wanted to be a scientist. Amy honestly gave me the confidence that I could do whatever I wanted in stem, ESPECIALLY after I learned Mayim was a scientist herself. That was revolutionary for me. So glad this show existed

I like how her voice kinda shook. Made it so real.

Even tho there is nothing in the way preventing woman to be scientists? Other than themselves and their choices

​@@soumaiseu2470There is still the mindset around, that women can't do maths oe any science at all. Or that women are stupid in general. Or simply should not pursue a career at all. So there are things that keep women from stem fields.

And the scene where everyone tells Howard about the possibilities his Father would have written in the letter

Yea and when Howard finds out his mother passed away...and the last dinner they had with her food

I also liked the chemistry of Raj and Anu

​@@yolandag8436And Sheldon's response to Howard's mom's death "When my father died, i didn't have any friends. You do"

#3 link please?

Yes, it's actually the premise on which the series begins: Some guys that by meeting a charming girl change their own lifes forever. It's really wonderful that they stayed true to that principle throughout the whole run.

@LuMartinelli i see what you're coming from, but I like to see it as more of "if you open yourself up to new/different experiences/people, your life might improve/change in ways you could never foresee". Ofc Hollywood chose the person to be a beautiful woman because they're Hollywood, but, you know, we can't have everything.

@@tdcfc Hey.. Let's give Penny the credit she deserves.. The writer didn't make her character OP.. She has flaws too.. Shes not tidy, sarcastic, and obvious drinking problem. She's not just a charming pretty face.

Very good!

I agree.

His song to Bernadette...

Anyone notice how much Howard himself matures with each emotional moment he faces. I mean when he is first introduced he has the emotional maturity of a high school freshman. But over time his character grows to become a great man, matching his professional accolades. I mean yeah he's still the fun loving SCIFI watching/comic book reading/video game playing geek we all grew to love but after his marriage to Bernadette and the birth of thier child and his going to space and losing his mom, he matures more and more.

the confession after Raj spoke out Howard's scandals on bachelor party, and howard gave a sincere speech to get Bernadette back

And the fact that he knew that Bernadette was hiding outside the house yet he had no problem with it

@@buttonfire6663 yep. The "I'm gonna be silent about it and I'll use it against you when you mess up" mentality. He also had "I'm going to be silent about it and will tell you when it would cause you the most pain" like when he told Leonard Penny was getting rid of his collectibles. Lol. I'd like to think Howard was the one who had the most growth on the show, but his humor did not decline. Props to Simon Helberg for that!

Penny and sheldon has best relationship in this show!

@@deepak8524 nah leonard and sheldon do

@Donny Trumplodyte Agreed! Also that Office scene not long after, where it seems Jim is not saying goodbye to Michael but to Steve himself, John and Steve are tearing up and you can tell its not acting

If you look on KZfaq for the final table read for this scene, you can see how emotional they were. They did well to keep it all together for the filming of it.

@@MegaJSK123 Given that it's a multi-cam show, shot in front of live audience & it's shot in sequence [for the most part], it's not surprising most of their emotions might as well be real. Like the goodbyes & all. It literally was their last day of filming together.

i also hav noticed that they get teared up as well, and i also get tears cause i loved this show, i even saw then at comic con which made it even better

i'm always getting emotional when he says "Astronaut Howard Wolowitz"

Well maybe he called him an astronaut because he finally has something he felt is bigger than being an astronaut. If he didn't win the Nobel prize, he wouldn't have ever acknowledged Howard as an astronaut

We can all do better, but you REALLY need to do better.

I'm not crying. You're crying.

@@AsianSensationist who says im cryong, your the one thats crying!

He should have said the same to each one of the cast in real life. He was the reason the show folded.

Yeah according to Penny actress they could've continue but Sheldon's actor decided to do different things. So they wrapped up in that season and finished, it was not long planned but came as surprise.

They could bring this show back and I'd watch it. With the same cast though even with Stuart.

U brilliantly put words to my thoughts!!

yeah i started crying when it came to that part 😭

Shocked Howard a bit.

I'll say, my generations sitcoms are some of the best. The office, parks and recs, how I met your mother and the big bang theory are amazing writing. I met the actor who plays Raj at a night club in 2016, he was accompanied by one of the most gorgeous blondes. So it's wild that his character was a successful bachelor and he wasn't far from that in real life. The speech also makes perfect sense because they've all be co stars for years and are actual friends.

Anthony Brown The only one that I absolutely love and faithfully watched out of your list was TBBT. I will say that there’s other series’ that I love from your generation but I have to give props to mine as well….. Welcome Back Kotter All In The Family Three’s Company The Golden Girls The Cosby Show Roseanne Yup mid 70’s to mid 80’s paved the way for other hits to come!

While I would want to agree on this imagination, reality is that scenes are never shot in order. Therefore the last day of filming is usually not the ending scene

I guess that wasn't acting anymore

I think it’s just their job

There's a video on KZfaq of the final table read that will rip your heart out.

I think you're absolutely right! The good part is that they made the decision to end it when it needed to end. It probably could have ended a couple seasons earlier, but the fact that they made the decision when Jim Parsons said he was going to leave to actually end the show instead of trying to continue it meant that they could write the last season as a proper last season. They could tie up all the loose ends, they could make sure everyone had their character arc finished, and give us this incredible ending.

@@JetWarrior although the length of 12 seasons led to the greatest character development in television. As seen in this scene..

I like HIMYM creepy ending

Parks and rec did too

@@nyk2000m As much as I like HIMYM in general, the ending was beyond questionable.

@@lbragg2642 nah probably Hawk from cobra kao

To understand the importance of the speech, you simply have to listen and be a person who has seen the show. It is not that profound. It is sweet and touch, yet very easy for most people to comprehend.

@@Michelle-pn9xt No shit Sherlock..what do you think this part of my comment refers to what? "you must understand the personalities of the characters"

What payrise this was the series finale

agree 100% with you

Actually its not their last scene ever shot. That was in front of audience when Sheldon comes to apologise to Leonard for his behaviour on plane on Amy's behest and Howard tells him that he is going back due to kids which is in front of the audience and coincidence...it was his and Johnny's bday that day.

EXACTLY!

I didn't cry at all

Isn't it what they do all the time now in shows ? Sending a specific message about different topics to promote certain prized values.

​@Yassine EL AZMI yes. Even Sheldon's speech speaks to some people. I grew up serious, rather selfish and egocentric. I struggled with a pretty dysfunctional family really close, possibly worse than the family on young sheldon. I still have so much for people whom I care about despite being so bad at showing it. Both speeches were funny. Yet inspiring. Greatest finale I've ever seen for a show!

Wow she's a scientist in real life as well?? Cool af. 😮😮😮😮😮

She stopped being a scientist to be a comedian, so she's really not the one who should deliver that message

@@yadusolparterre ikr, i had the same idea, but Mayim Bialik got the character bc her phd knowledge, but still a solid point tho

That is simply NOT true bruh, plus the show is older than a decade -_-

That's a reach but this ending was perfect and always made me tear up. I prefer Brooklyn 99 more as a show though. Every TBBT joke was about constantly bullying people using one single trope for each character.

@@dvornikovalexei nah honestly I didn't really like the finale

@@Rigby350 Whose ? TBBT or Brooklyn 99? Both had terrific finales. And I'm comparing comedy shows, Psych is my 3rd favourite probably.

Or How I Met Your Mother or apparently Dexter or Girls

Becoming an astronaut is a bigger accomplishment than being a physicist. It takes a lot of training to become an astronaut.

@@ellisjames7192exactly Howard accomplished something they never could. Yet they belittled him still.

That's the part I started crying 😂 couldn't hold it in no more

@IshtiMishti seriously, when he said, "Astronaut! Howard Walowitz!" My head went in my hands, and I started bawling.

Nah.... Is that Buffy the Vampire Slayer? THAT was inspired comedy. That's my favorite moment. The rest of it was "just" the usual SUPERLATIVE writing and acting that we expect from TBBT. I miss that show. But interestingly....I'm now binge watching the first 4 seasons of Young Sheldon, and came to this KZfaq video because of of the scene at the end of the second season, where his Meemaw's boyfriend, Dr. Sturgis, realizes he will never win the Nobel Prize, but is positive that Sheldon will. So I needed to see this scene again...

I came into the series very late, I went to the library recently I've been taken each season out each week especially on weekends I would power watch the series I was seriously moved and emotional at this ending

I felt that way when Friends ended since I was in their age group.

Teared? LMAO.. Really? LMAO

It seems you're the only one pointing to the fact "I haven't been the friend you deserve", goes all the way back to the first episode when Leonard showed to rent the apartment and was greeted by Sheldon. Also, Penny was always transparent to what Sheldon's friendship off and on screen meant to her (even in the previous year's real life awards for the series). Hands down the best series in modern era. Clean and smart humor will be hard to top in the future. Thank you, Big Bang Theory cast, and producers. What a great show. 🤗

@@BBAKER22 Damn, are you really gonna reply to everyone who shed a tear in this comment section with "LMAO"? so pathetic.

Godzilla Had a Stroke Trying to Read This and F****ng Died...

yeees, they started the talk about super asymmetry on their wedding day, which is considered to be the acknowledgment and celebration of a couple's commitment to each other.

Right on! Forgotten about that and how it tied to the end. Nice. 🤓👍

I don't know how BBT incorporated the concept of prophecy like in GOT

‎

I thought of that episode too! Nicely done.

If he needed to it would not have taken just four minutes. Truth is... they knew how he felt I think. But to hear him say it... well I would call it akin to someone you always cared for and you knew cared for you saying they love you. You might know it... but hearing it is something special.

would disagree 1000% - the monster that will be born from actually winning will treats his friends even worse than before. The only reason Amy is with Sheldon is because being with him created a tumor in her brain that altered her personality

Or just "MIT trained" gets me every time

When I first watched it I was expecting him to just say “Howard wolowitz” and play it like a joke the way they have in the past, this was much better

Why couldn't he have said "Astronaut AND ENGINEER Howard Wolowitz"?

No that's you and being is surely a bad thing for you and so many others that's why you suffer

which ones were bad?

König Bob-Omb I watched it from the very beginning and all the way until the very end, and for me, the last 3 seasons were hard to watch. What made it hard for me, was that they were just too old and their jokes were getting old. I truly feel it had 3 seasons too many. But, I will say that this ending was the greatest series finale of all time.

@@christopherbanuelos4780 Personally, I think the show didn't decline AS much

@@christopherbanuelos4780 it should have ended in season 10, like friends. They chewed all the meet from the bone and with the last seasons they were just licking.

@@chmzzzly i think the one when leonard saw the famuse pepole becuase penny was need to see him in 1th aprill and sheldon didn't believe to penny and leonard told him where to go and he lie to him I didn't like this episode so mutch but its not so bad

It's also proof, as this happens in real life many times, that love at first sight IS true, especially for Men who have probably millions of times seen a woman Soo beautiful, so heavenly gorgeous, so Angelically and physically perfect that he's literally rendered speechless and knows instantly "There's my wife and mother to my children" and it actually happens. These are feelings that women overall just can NEVER understand about the attraction, visual, physical and otherwise that Men can and do have for them. Sadly all they want to do is exploit it but I digress. It was great to see Leonard end up with Penny. He probably has Pria to thank for that as she was quite jealous of her and it made Penny view Leonard as much more of a catch when those two got serious. That's when she realized she screwed up and wanted Leonard back.

Not to mention imaginary. So incredibly funny!

Same!

So many shows get disappointing endings but this one was just perfect.

Me too

When I watch it the dams break and I’m in tears

After watching the beginning, I finally saw the last episode. It is like saying goodbye to people who let you into their lives and you got to know. OMG what an ending........sorry but yes I cried. 😢
