An drank beer too

Surprised me too

Loved this whole scene.

Because they were talking about something personal to him

It did seem uncharacteristically of him, but then again, football is probably one of the exceptions he will tolerate, given how important it was to his family life and his father in particular. Without knowing it, Bernie's dad actually hit all the right notes with Sheldon to make him open up a little bit. Whether he'll admit it or not, football bring up cherished memories for Sheldon and, if his dad had still been alive at this time, he would've been around the same age as Bernie's dad, so it was like having a moment with a surrogate father, with neither of them having planned it, but both just rolling with it. If it had been any other sport, Sheldon would have most likely rebuffed him. A mixture of luck and taking advantage of the opportunity that presented itself.

Howard's dad was a bum.

And they never did say why.

In a way sheldons dad left him too

Sheldon s dad cheated on his mom and when Sheldon caught him then u know what happened

LOL SAME. FUNNIEST SHELDON MOMENT HANDS DOWN

The way Jim Parson delivered the line makes it much more hilarious

Sounds like most dark souls players

Yep thats why Amy and Lenoard mom loved him too

Yeah... _that's_ what it shows...

Because of how his mom raised him

Yep, definitely the Texas upbringing!

Also a good ol smacking from his mother and meemaw would also suffice.

Most dads are like that

+Brandon Coomar Some are just cold and mean, like mine

Yeah, and with Sheldon no less. They are bonding over beer and Football

MrMisterman1 cherish your dad I miss mine

He actually warmed up to Howard once when his wife and Bernadette tried to make them go fishing together and instead they went to an Indian casino.

He's better bonding with older people than with pepple of his own age

Odd since Amy’s mom is a social killer well to be honest Sheldon’s mom is also one

Someone said the same thing a year earlier than you

Leonard mom because of rational and not crying like Leonard. Bernadette das because of mutual dislike to Howard and mutual understanding of rules and football.

Amys mother because he is willing to let her have her way and be pampered like a cat

Bernadettes, Dad may be cold and a savage, but deep down, he can be chill.

That charmed the pants off a grizzly old stereotype of a manly man dad.

Agreed

Amy's dad absolutely adores Howard

I hate how we never once got to see Howard’s Dad, it would’ve been dramatic and fun

Howard would be more sympathetic if a majority of the series didn’t portray him as a sleazy creep

He can surely break the cycle.

@@whoknowswhocares885 He WAS a sleazy creep.... but he changed...

Poor Howard

Oh I felt really uncomfortable with that

Awkward sheldon comes victorious on such moments... Like that Indian chil from raj.. Or this one...sooper character man

Is it hard to type after you die? I would figure your fingers would pass right through the keyboard, speak and type would work, I guess.

You know, since Howard always showed a lot of hate towards his dad. Would he even have a beer with the man?

Me too 🤣🤣🤣

I don't think they'd show that tbh. Doesn't really fit the mood of that show.

@Christopher Bingham so when does his dad die ? what season approximately?

@Christopher Bingham well he died when sheldon was 14, how old is he now in season 4?

@@sunoozao4118 He is 11 right now on the show ... so 3 years

u mean handegg

It was... Until Howard totally ruined the moment, haha.

Hand-ball

minji Sheldon also doesn’t like football

Haha yeah it is. I never liked football. I do like baseball though.

I think if he said thatbhe wanted a drink.with them, then his FIL would take a liking to him. I don't remember Jewish custom, so I don't know the position on alcohol.

@@ajdominguez1002 nope they can drink they did in the Old Testament/Torah

​@@ajdominguez1002i mean purim in israel is just a holiday notorius for becoming drunken debouchary.

Howard's stories always seem the saddest (that's just me lol). His father ran out on him when he was a kid, and he ended up spending most of his life being babied by his mother.

Yeah but Shelons been bullied, grandpa dead, dad dead, a family that doesnt understand him but more tolerate him. As much as he acts robotic and uncaring when he tells the story you think he is going to cry

I know. I even sympathized with him in the episode when Leonard and Penny started fighting, it triggered memories of his parents fighting in from of him, and it drove him to push Leonard and Penny to apologize to each other. Hell, I have a friend who's like Sheldon in some aspects, but I don't intend to end my friendship with him; I suppose in a way, we both need each other, the same way Leonard and Sheldon need each other...

Sheldon is the only reason this show is worth watching next is Penny but Sheldon is TBBT & TBBT is Sheldon but Penny is 2nd to Sheldon .

They've all been bullied but Penny. Besides, it's not a contest.

This is what trips me up: George is being portrayed as a gun-slinging, drunkard. He wasn't like that in YS, like at all.

@@Gumbier_ThanWell they pretty much established Sheldon would in these moments only share his opinions based on his own often unreliable perspective in moments like this. The narration often explains some of these inconsistencies. We are basically made to understand that Sheldon never truly dealt with George’s death and didn’t truly start to understand him until he too became a father.

+msinvincible2000 Penny's dad too.

I love Sheldon's mom!!! She's so cute

Omg I'm so sorry. That's such a special memory you have of you two together though

After that he left?

what a beautiful moment in time....

Damn I'm sorry about that. I'm glad you had that one special time.

I feel for you friend. My dad passed recently and I just now am treasuring the first drink moment I had with him. Sure it might have been parental consent age and not legal 21. As well as the fact it was only a splash of Peanut Butter Whiskey. However, that was the first and only I had with him before he passed. So I understand your story friend and I'm sorry, but the same time proud that you shared that moment

Well remember that when one makes prequels there's going to be holes in how characters are portrayed and events happen you have to count on the vagueness and open endedness quite a bit I mean I'm pretty sure Sheldon had said his mom and him lived in a trailer on top of cinder blocks Plus as far as Sheldon's dad is concerned he's described and a drunk and cheated, I mean the drunk part is something can be worked with, but when one cheats I mean all morality and likeness are just gone and he dies early on too in Sheldon's life

They probably toned down the mean and borderline bully part of his father's character to make him seem more likable to the audience. In Young Sheldon, Mary and George still get along fairly decently, but in TBBT the way Sheldon describes their marriage makes it seem as if all they could do was argue and be bitter towards each other. Same with bullying. In TBBT Sheldon talks about the many bullies and their pranks he had to endure, but in Young Sheldon he is never seen being bullied. They probably didn't think it would go over well to see a group of 14-15 year olds pick on a 9 year old for being different. That's a bit muchh for a light hearted family friendly show like Young Sheldon. Same with his dad, really. They toned that stuff down to make it more appealing for their target audience.

Xylarxcode He's drawing from memories of his father as a child. We often don't get to know our parents until we're adults.

sneakymia1 THAT's why she looked so much like Sheldon's mom in tbbt. Omg I never knew that

That's why she also sounds just like her.

I alway imagined Sheldons dad mimicked shooting the tv, then shoots by accident. Or the family watching the game, sheldon wants to do his homework, they see the loss, Sheldon goes to the bathroom, hears a gunshot and assumes it was his father.

Hell yeah

goatboy if Howard wasn't a Beyond beta bitch and actually had a manly bone in his body he would've just grabbed himself a beer enjoying the festivities instead of whining about not being able to do that with his dad. But that's what you get when a boys only male role models are the characters of the men that his mother oggles secretly.

That's deep

@@Doctor_Odin I feel offended by what you said *moron*

@@ColJack100 Go cry a river and be sad about it.

@@sparklingdaisy3169 I might! Thanks for beeing mean! :'( :'( :'(

That makes sense.

+kenda wyatt and as we all know nobody cares about girls until their dads talk to them about it

Yeaaah.... as we all know sheldon isn't like everyone else; therefore I came to that guess that he is the way he is because the men in his life died. I'm not saying I'm right, but guessing what might be the cause is pretty fun. :)

if anything the fact that all the men in his life died and he was only surrounded by women would mean its more likely that hed be more comfortable around and used to women than men and would have a harder time to relate to men than women

That's an interesting conclusion :)

Exactly, but they ruined young sheldon by not even trying to be continuous. That's why I don't like young sheldon. The cooper's never even had a dog.

He is more straightforward but due to his Asperger's it really easy to be seen as arrogant.

ya the two most unlikely characters to bond are bonding. thats just great writing. if you see a possible moment you let it happen no matter how unlikely it is. thats life, special moments come from strange places when you least expect it and those are the ones we often treasure the most. that this show understands that and gets it right gives me extreme admiration for the show.

sweeney60 so true

you're so right

No, Its very good and moving but Leonard Nemoys napkin or ITS A TIARA ...beat it soundly

Second time rewatching, still cracks me up.

Sorry, nothing beats the spanking

Mee 😢 I bawled like a baby, for the last 3 episodes of YS 😢 George Sr was the best father figure, I saw in recent times in TV 🫂

Lmao yeah

Hess only 11 in the show now, his dad cheats when Sheldon is 13. Probaly won’t happen until season 6.

Imagine if I had this guys approval. I would feel so confident.

I still can
