"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing...Jon Snow." -- Ygritte Socrates probably

@@Seven_Leaf yep

Naive. Same way he was reluctant helping grandma bet on games

In one episode Georige tells Sheldon "If I were as smart as you I would go into the stock market" but Sheldon said he prefers going things that basically are meaniful like discovering the meaning of the universe. That's how I remebe it going

@@jimJim- His dad might have told him in response “ You do this right and you will never have to worry about work, you can finance your own research”.

Indeed! "Adult Sheldon" is 40 and still living with his "little friends" (in memorian: Ms Wolowitz

@@jimJim- Easy to sell it as "you need finances to discover the meaning of the universe - imagine what you can do if you have enough $ to run a space program rivaling Nasa"....

That’s Sheldon

Kripke was the most intelligent in that show It sure why I thought Sheldon was

As a father, I can relate 🤣🤣

More like - don't get us arrested cus your ego

🤣

Ye and he says Billy sparks bullies him. But that could've been sheldon's misunderstanding. Since sheldon is basically Billy's closest friend.

And I don't they'll put domestic violence on a show meant to be funny and family friendly.

yeah it will be sad when his dad cheats on Sheldon's mom and he eventually die during the series

Pondi is the coolest

@@kennichigatchalian6710 He never abused Sheldon's mum, not even on Sheldon's warped memory

or maybe the show is just poorly written and blatantly ignores established canon for cheap jokes (just like the original show it's a spin-off from)

@@CrashSable ikr people treat these shows like marvel movies

@@xoivy1438 Marvel movies aren't poorly written?

@@casualcruelty the persons aid they treat them LIKE marvel movies meaning they treat them like how people would treat a marvel movie

@@casualcruelty just the eternals

Maybe puberty didnt suit him well 😏

I read a comment that said that this happened bc adult Sheldon became more human unlike the robot like kid version. That’s why at the start of the bbt Sheldon never made a mistake when it came to work. However, after he met Amy and became closer to his friends, he started to make some mistakes. A perfect example of this would be how the female co worker of Sheldon solved or fixed the equation that Sheldon got wrong.

@@basesderaplilcrazy2400 didn’t Leslie fix his equation early on in tbbt when Shelton was still robotic?

Well.. this is a memory show... the show is about Sheldon’s memory of his childhood... Sheldon being Sheldon... I assume he remembers himself being smarter... thoughts?

@@mcmraw well as it's sheldon who is quite egotistical about his smartness, I guess this would be his version of his childhood

yeah the canned laugh is always a killer for me.

The Big Bang Theory had a live audience, not canned laughter. Most tv shows today have a live audience, thanks to Desi Arnaz, whose idea it was for "I Love Lucy",

@@SymphonyBrahms oh... I didn't know. Still hate it thought.

@@SymphonyBrahms some episodes have canned laughter

@@Mainlyeverything Which ones?

I guess the man finally had someone who not only did thier taxes well, but showed such talent in using his intelligence at a young age. And he was just rousing and giving Sheldon his first real challenge. I mean Sheldon felt defeated because of his problem, but got his motivation thanks to his dad. If I was the tax agent, I would be proud that he managed to solve his problem on his own.

Actual IRS agents tend to be very nice so long as you're not committing open tax fraud, and would be utterly charmed by a child wanting to do taxes.

well done young Padawan,the Force is strong with this one...

@@dbsthumper Sheldon as Luke Skywalker. I love the episode in "The Big Bang Theory" where Mark Hamill officiates at Sheldon's wedding!

We all sound the characters on Big Bang 😂

He did know what he was doing. There was just nothing to prove they owed money...

That ain't aspirin 😉

Lies again? Taxi Cab

Hard to say he peaked in youth when he grows up to win a nobel prize, but he definitely did go on to struggle mentally and emotionally for sure.

Hold up, I missed the episode where they showcased Sheldon's homicidal tendencies 🤔

They were child prodigys. Like psychopaths they strayed away from what they truly are because they needed to adapt to society.

Is it me or many of yall have noticed that most of those who peak in their childhood, teens or young adulthood experience downfall later in life?

I KNOW RIGHT, SO CUTE

Disagree. Any childactor would have been very good at playing Sheldon. You are discounting actor's capability to immerse themselves in a character.

@@labradormcgraw he’s not wrong.

@@jamesbizs 😄

Yeah it's a hard role to play

@@jamesbizs But he is

Idk much about US law but, I don't understand the logic behind being able to hold Sheldon liable for doing his own family's tax.

At first I thought the IRS man was just picking on Sheldon, but they somehow decided to take it seriously, which made no sense to me.

@@deebur8777 It's less about holding him liable and more about opening up a potential can of worms for an unlicensed child to do other people's taxes which can cause a lot of issues legally.

@@Simitachi I doubt it. Like I said, idk much about US law, but I don't think any country allows you to sue based on a slippery slope. You cannot punish someone for a crime they may or may not commit in the future.

Hes a kid so they can say its an allowence. Most kids get it after chores are done.

Almost like it was a comedy show

Yeah he sure is

Young Sheldon is probably the best tv series I’ve seen in a long time that fairly shows the importance of both a father and a mother in a child’s development.

Which is why I find the hatred for George in The big bang theory so strange.

@@GuruVIII I think it’s cos it was through the eyes of sheldon and his mother. Even in young sheldon, do you notice how George senior is never really allowed to do anything for his own happiness? He can’t even change job.

@@wwpark how is that? George loves to be coach, there's no evidence of him wanting to change jobs!

The IRS is also the one thing The Joker fears.

"Who's Radiohead?" "I have a working knowledge of the IMPORTANT things in the universe."

Lol confidence turn cockiness. I love it lol

Life happened.

Puberty + losing his dad+ no friends at college, and being always right makes one really obnoxious

The father pretty much balance him since the father died the mom kept on 🍼 him

When a child has quirks it is tolerated, when an adult is child like its harder to swallow.

Also, this show is told as a flashback. Older Sheldon could be an unreliable narrator when talking about his childhood.

And still an alcoholic

@@anneeq008 perhaps a functional alcoholic?

In BBT Sheldon's dad apparently shot the TV because of a Superbowl loss. I don't really see that happening.

@@JSmellerM it wasn't a superbowl loss it was a thanksgiving game basically the Cowboys had won the game but a Cowboys player slipped on the field touched the ball making it a live ball and the Dolphins recovered it in the end zone and won the game

@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Does it really matter what kind of game that was? In TBBT Sheldon's dad was an alcoholic who shot his TV during/after a football match. in Young Sheldon he is not drinking that much and we don't see him have a gun ever.

@D Sullivan strictly speaking, yes. I'm only making note of it because Sheldon is OCD enough that he would never do it the wrong way, even in a non-competitive match.

@D Sullivan Still for someone with Sheldon's love for rules, breaking this serious chess rule is just wrong... Alas, the intricacies of chess are at times ignored when using it to signify a mental battle... The idea behind it, is to prevent mistakes while punching the clock. When in a hurry, using both hands might result in one hand punching before the other finishes the move. By using the same hand, that can't happen!

true. it reminds me how i once played in a rapid chess tournament, and i was beating my opponent (a big old bearded guy). at some point i promoted to a queen, and i reached for the queen from another chessboard (where the game was over). the guy immediately pointed out that this time i used my left hand moving the queen from the other board to ours (obviously, this counts as part of the move), and called the arbiter. he tried to intimidate me with that (i was a kid back then), and proposed a draw :) this was rather ridiculous, given the size of the violation, and how his position was utterly lost. and even if the arbiter accepted that i was at fault, the penalty would be something like giving extra time to my opponent, which wouldn't make any difference whatsoever in this situation. but anyhow the arbiter comes over, listens to the complaint and the only thing he says: "...and you, sir, didn't stop the clock when calling me". (and that was right, he should have). the guy resigned :)

@D Sullivan it absolutely is shown, twice.

Adult Sheldon is gay, Young Sheldon (as far as I know) isn't!

@@pauljohnson6019 adult Sheldon is married and has kids

@@pauljohnson6019 Are you speaking about the actor - Jim Parsons? He is gay. The character of Sheldon was considered to be asexual for a long time by his peers but, as has been pointed out below, he married Amy. Many would say that his love for Amy is based a hell of a lot more on their intellectual compatibility and admiration than on any other qualities. In such an instance, I think there is a difference word which describes this type of sexuality over and above a simple gay/straight/bisexual definition, although I don't remember what the word is.

@@annandune Oh, I knew the actor was gay, I thought the actual character was gay too- so he is married- I guess he's on soft mode then! In fact, does he practice Nofap at all?

@@pauljohnson6019 You seem to have reached some very different conclusions about Sheldon from most other people I know who have seen the show. Had to look up NoFap as I have no idea what it is. Upon discovering I would have to refer you back to the comments I made in my initial response. The show seemed to suggest that most of his friends believed him to be asexual, i.e. that he had no interest in sex at all. His relationship with Amy is one which grew over the show and which probably seems very different from what most people think of as a 'normal' relationship but Sheldon was never supposed to be a 'normal' person. You might decide you find the premise unsound or unbelievable and that is your choice but I think the show paints a clear picture of how this part of his life developed and, given he is prone to saying exactly what he is thinking much of the time, there is no reason for the audience to think he wouldn't just come right out with it if he was gay.

Sheldon is crazy enough to take on the IRS. Incontrovertible proof that Sheldon is a greater character than the Joker

Sup recent dude!

Ikr

Yes, it does

Pretty sure its on purpose because they are trying to capitalize on the movies success

It was on purpose. They even used the theme .

You income is mine.

Life

At the end of the day he was still a kid. Your perspective of reality is always skewed at that age, especially because of his naivete.

He thought he discovered the concept of empathy in Season 11 out of 12, in TBBT. He didn't realise that his friends simply tolerated his selfish behaviours, until the last episode of the show, in its 3rd from the last scene, where his wife had to point in out to him.

Billionaire. This guy could literally beat the system if he wants to but of course his more of a science guy

Georgie

Sheldon was a kid who had trouble socializing. It was bound to happen.

yes, he don't want to mess with the irs, even irl the irs tells all criminals to report their earnings, legal or illegal

Not even Joker is crazy enough to take on the IRS.

No, Sheldon's point is clearly not valid

@@Leo-ev9ss wdym?

He doesn't have to die. It's all fiction. The producers can do anything they want with the backstory.

@@blockcl do you really believe that?

I've been waiting for that moment, also that George cheats on Mary with a blond woman and Sheldon sees that

@@thesirrooster It's gotta be Billy's mom.

Actually it would've been simpler if they remembered that the payment didn't take place yet, so at that moment it was just words, not facts... and you can't tax or sanction something hypothetical... a theory.

Parents are primary educators of their children.

they still could of called the train a gift sheldon its between family members and sheldon is to young to have a job.

Sometimes, in small schools you just have to teach the class whether it is your specialty or not. That’s at least how it is in Saskatchewan, Canada. I’ve had some difficulty with teachers who themselves were good but they were not very familiar with the subject area at hand. It was in a sense a reward for a job well done and while not maybe not the intention it was a bit of a hands-on “economics lesson.” You can make things sound better by your choice of phrasing. It’s not necessarily lying.
