    What an Excellent Episode, A Complete Laughter Riot, Loved it!

    This is what Big bang theory does best. Keeps on hammering excellent jokes back to back to the point its a laughter riot non stop. Loved the Episode and Loved all the Cricket References in it. I know, not many Americans will get it, but I'm glad they included it. Hilarious as always, Keep up the great work guys!!

    Personal favorite episode

    Everyone shines in this episode, and Raj and Sheldon share a similar type of scene that maybe make for their funniest scenes ever lol. Bert is a star of the show and Penny has the funniest zingers. Raj finally gets to have some fun and not be creepy about it. Sheldon gets a big head and learns a good lesson.

    Raj Can Only Dream/And So Can Sheldon

    Not a bad episode. One plot has Raj trying to develop a relationship with the Indian girl he blew it with earlier. It turns out, however, there is a bump in the road. The principle plot has Bert asking Sheldon to help him on a project, but Sheldon is ashamed to do it (even though he is enjoying it). His cruelty to the big guy is really sad.

      The cricketers Raj mentions at the bar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli, are all real professional Indian cricket players.
    • Goofs
      In the past, Raj has mentioned that he doesn't speak Hindi. But now, all of a sudden, when Ruchi speaks Hindi during the cricket game, Raj not only speaks it, but he understands what she said.

      Penny Hofstadter: This is about science. Why'd you come to me?

      Sheldon Cooper: Well, because it's also about my reputation. And somehow, you managed to hold your head high despite your checkered past.

      Penny Hofstadter: Checkered past?

      Sheldon Cooper: It's a figure of speech referring to how sexually promiscuous you were.

      Penny Hofstadter: Really? Well, I've got a figure of speech about how sexually promiscuous you can go be with yourself.

      Sheldon Cooper: And what is it?
