I think his point was more about how even if Hawking was okay with it, there are other people with disabilities who might not be.

THIS, i too have a disability that I feel I can derive comedy from, and dislike the idea of people going out of their way to NOT be offensive like that, "it's okay, you can laugh, it's funny" as a certain Avatar character would say, and it's fun to laugh at yourself

Ditto!

Don't do it until after season 10. The narration in young Sheldon spoils stuff

so THAT'S why they look so much alike, I didn't know that!

And Sheldon still makes it out on top while pointing out that Leonard should not with Priya

@@ericstorm6582 Priya is a better mate than Penny at least.

@@vetarlittorf1807 Such a good mate that she's hiding Leonard from her parents :).

@@joedunams7505 Because in India it's sometimes a taboo to be in a relationship with someone outside Indian culture.

Technically they wrote the agreement together and Leonard agreed to it. Some rules maybe crazy but Leonard was ok with them going on at the time

is his name Marcel?

Not only that, but Young Sheldon is overall a much better show. It doesn't reinforce stereotypes and there's no laugh track. Also, Missy's sass is always good for a laugh.

The narration in young Sheldon does spoil big bang plots

Yeah well some parts of the agreement are Sheldon bias i.e the Sheldon breaks all tie breaks part. But a lot of the issues is because Leonard is such a push over and people pleaser he never fights back against Sheldon or uses the agreement to his advantage

Thank you for this!

I reckon Hawking was annoyed with everyone getting offended for him. Simon Helberg (Howard) made a joke about it on a talk show - saying that he was scared to joke about Hawking at first in case he *stood up* and hit him. And people complained a tonne. But Helberg was friends with Hawking and knew Hawking enjoyed that sort of humour.

Agree 100%!! People need to grow a spine and not be so overly sensitive.

Nobody cares about "back in your day" old woman. "Back in your day" racism, homophobia and sexism were A-OK. You're probably a racist yourself.

@@nowthatisawesome5431 especially considering that this is the entertainment industry. It's meant to make fun of all forms of the human condition, that's how we learn as a people but society today would have us ignore those issues, pretend as if they don't exist, by trying to censor everything and pretend it's all okay. I like the 30s to 00s film industry, not because it was discriminatory or sexist, I do agree that there are things that should be done away with, especially within the industry, but I liked it, because TV and film could go as far as it needed to, writing wise, nothing was off-limits, so to speak, so you could tell stories without being shamed for it. Nowadays, we're in the age of political correctness, and reboots, trope storytelling, nothing is original or impactful anymore. Not saying there's anything wrong with these ideals or styles but they shouldn't be a factor when it comes to storytelling or writing. The stuff that is problematic and where things like discrimination and sexism should be abolished is more to do with behind the scenes drama, but with today's people, everything seems to be a trigger, especially with the onscreen end product, which it shouldn't be like that, because if we cannot be honest or true to the stories we tell, then there's really no point in any of this, but people want to be angry about this and that, because they know that when such stories are told, they reveal more about the kind of monsters that human beings can be, and therefore we censor such things today because we don't wanna confront the truth about who we really are, and we'd rather pretend to be saints by claiming political correctness and such ideals in entertainment and all other aspects of creative work. As a disabled person, I can attest to the fact that none of us would like to be coddled and I have actually enjoyed much content that have had similar commentary on disability. I laugh at things like this and it makes me happy. What I don't like is people who think they are being respectful, when all they are really doing is just being more offensive at best. I like writers who are not afraid to tell the story they want, whatever the subject matter, I'd respect you more for poking fun at something than trying to treat me as if I'm an egg that shouldn't be dropped. I'm just as human as the next person and I wanna laugh at my problems just like the next person. People learn and grow more that way, than saying, "oh let's respect this demographic by not writing anything that might be construed as offensive to them" tell me the story and let me decide for myself, for goodness sake. That's why these days I tend to ignore Hollywood more and more and tend to focus more on what the rest of the world has to offer, because those other non-Hollywood places still know how to tell good stories without pretending to think that they are respectful of all peoples, cultures, identities, etc

Same here I’m glad Sheldon did that it scared her so bad she wanted to shit her pants

The Roommate Agreement doesn't have any legal merit anyway. It's just a bunch of nonsense Sheldon cobbled together so he can have everything his way and Leonard is too much of a pushover to do anything about it.

Well to Sheldon Priya is just another girl. But yeah I'd feel weird around my friend all the time if I were dating his sister.

@@JudgeFudge57 obviously I couldn’t give too much information due to spoilers in upcoming episodes, but yes it’s certainly weird

But Leonard does ? Sleeping with his best friend's sister even though he is clearly not okay with AND ON HIS BEST FRIEND"S BED TOO!

Only after season 10, since the narration in young Sheldon spoils big bang plots

and season 12 since the final episode of young sheldon season 2 spoils the series finale

@@ivanivanoffkrakowski9096 well, season one aired alongside season one of young Sheldon. So if you watch at that point it's fine. But yes

the first 2 seasons of young sheldon are shorter than the last 2 seasons of big bang

Which episodes are those? I've only seen the TOS and Kelvin movies, and _Lower Decks_ (which is great, by the way). I've thought about watching the older shows, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Oh please.

Who cares. Like that's the only bad stuff about him.

Trump *did* mock a disabled reporter (Serge Kovaleski, whose arthrogryposis causes him to have the kind of bent wrists that Trump used when supposedly imitating groveling). Whether or not Trump _also_ used those hand gestures when mocking people who weren't disabled doesn't erase his mocking of Kovaleski.

@@theadamabrams Nope. While it’s true that the particular report did have a disability (no one is denying that)....that’s not what Trump was mocking. The proof is that he used the exact same gesture when previously mocking other people. Those people didn’t have any kind of disability so that’s not what he was mocking. He wasn’t using it as a gesture for the disability itself. I already explained - it’s no different than if I were to (hypothetically) constantly use a phrase like “what are you, blind?” without meaning it literally.....but then one day I say it to someone who actually is blind and I wasn’t aware. It hits different in that scenario and while I wasn’t meaning it to insult that person, I could see how it would easily be misinterpreted. Again, plenty of footage out there that proves it regarding Trump. Maybe do your homework before you just believe the little clips that most of the corrupt media will show you along with their spin. I’m guessing you won’t even bother, because you don’t care about the truth. You have already made up your mind, and actually researching something is not a thing you will bother with. It’s okay, continue to believe lies.

@@nowthatisawesome5431 I have done research on this. I've seen the videos from Catholics4Trump showing Trump using similar hand motions in the past. I get that. But the claim is, "Trump mocked a disabled reporter", and that's true whether or not the mocking was intended to be about the disability. To be honest, I am open to the idea that Trump was not intentionally referring to Kovaleski's disability when he mocked him. It's entirely possible that he was just _generically_ being a jerk.
