I love that Sheldon doesn’t even get mad at them, he just innately accepts logic even if he doesn’t benefit from it.😂😂😂
He can’t reject science
To reject logic would be illogical
Stupid comment. You must be one of those people who reject logic because it doesnt please your false reality
@@peterflagle5446 to refute logic is to refute Spock 🖖
And we know he won't do that.
@@peterflagle5446fun fact, there is no logical argument to justify being logical without resorting to circular reasoning. Which is a logical fallacy.
i like that sheldon doesnt have any hard feelings for his friends because this was the only logical option.
sheldon will agree anything as long as you can convince him that it is logical.
🖖
Yup, you have to appeal to the half-Vulcan side of him in a case like this.
eh I would argue sometimes, it must be logic which makes sense to him
Well, everything happening is because of him.
I like how Sheldon isn’t even angry that they just left. He just looks at accept it saying “yep that was the only option”
Science first, emotion second…if at all.
Like it wasn’t an option just to simply have a slurpy instead of a icey😂. Sheldon always has to be so difficult
I had a friend who put our group through a similar wringer. He was a super fussy eater and it would take forever to settle on a place he would agree to go for lunch. One time, after a protracted fuss on his part, our group of friends went to the place he agreed to. We walk in and he says, "We can't eat here." I ask, "Why?" He says, "I know the manager. He hates me. He'll spit in our food." I responded, "Correction, he'll spit in YOUR food."
Sounds like you were friends with Sheldon. Lol😂
Tell him there's a reason why a restaurant manager hates him.
@@troll2637 I'm sure he knows why. It's just not his fault.
@@josephmassaroNot his fault in what sense
@@tanaka173 He doesn't believe it's his fault. Like Sheldon, his self awareness only goes so far.
They could have went to the Multiplex and just snuck Red Vines in there. That’s a lot easier than trying to sneak Slurpies.
you beat me to this
Sheldon would say," it is dishonest to smuggle in red vines like a couple of ne'er-do-wells. "
"Also if we get caught by the attendees; we would be kicked out"
@@dylanjohnston4388he didn't have a problem sneaking in with slurpees he said it wasn't an icy
There’s no Sheldon approved restaurants in that area I think. When Leonard was pointing he included the multiplex. So if Sheldon was okay smuggling slurpee. That was the best theaters. It has the restaurant and red vines.
@@dylanjohnston4388
The use of the word “attendees” is too accurate
Sheldon just accepts the outcome, even if it means he's left behind 😂
This is my all-time favorite scene from this show. Beautifully executed.
I really liked it back in the earlier seasons, when they actually did fight back against Sheldon like this. Instead of just bending over backwards, and bowing to his everywhere, wim like they did in later seasons
whim*
it's the opposite. In later seasons all the characters became as hypocritical and as selfish as him especially leonard
@@erosion271true finally someone with a brain.
@@erosion271 is kinda ironically funny that leonard basically took a page from sheldon's book in his last episode focus. only to get to tired from it.
and then he tries to do the same in the 2nd to last episode, questioning "why they even keep some of his old stuff in the apartment (which at that point is by all accounts his and penny's)" only to tumble the DNA structure that was there in the background since the beginning and immediately forget about it.
I like to believe they enjoy the intellectual challenge more than they cared to accommodate their extremely OC friend.
Indeed
They love they love the challenge. Sheldon, although annoying, always makes valid points and observations.
It's like Pro Gamers who have that Gamer pal, that makes thr fun challenges for them to try.
Ironically enough as an introvert, I do kinda relate to this, I mean taking every possiblity into account for future social situations, I'm not this crazy but it does happen
Why bother smuggling in slurpees when it is way easier to smuggle in a box of red vines, which solves the problem?
I still prefer their solution ;)
The end line was magnificent, excellent writting
0:38 - Just bring your own red vines. Contrary to popular belief, a lot of cinemas let you bring in your own snacks and drinks. As long as it's not hot food and has no alcohol.
1:05 "hya, hya or hya"
Sheldon REALLY needs to learn how to adapt!😂
I love that after the effort to accomodate Sheldon, they left him behind like the dead weight he is.
Or did they just enjoy the problem it posed?
They offered Sheldon a solution, he refused to take it though.
And he agreed to it, that was the best part. haha
FLAWED LOGIC! Sheldon could have gone to the movie theater that sells Twizzlers....by sneaking in Red Vines!!!!
Also why do they need to eat beforehand can't they get popcorn at the movies like regular people
@@ellianachavez6596Because if they eat after, the delay would result in Sheldon's bowel movement occuring at work the next day. And we know that is unacceptable
@@ellianachavez6596If they were regular people, it wouldn’t have been a show that people watched!
I love that Sheldon went 'yeah that's the only option we can do'
Honestly, they could’ve solved quite a few of their problems this way.
Me and the boys figuring out how we'll do a Barbenheimer run on premiere day.
Easy you don't watch Barbie, you watch Oppenheimer two times. Unless you're watching Barbie to gawk over Margot Robie dudes should not be watching that movie.
Don’t forget to accommodate time for costume changes.
@@Sereous313Dudes like you are in the biggest need of watching that film then.
“They’re right it was the only option” 😂😂😂
Why the 10:30am session, and not any later?
@@BonJoviMad100 it’s the only viable option
I like how I seems shocked and hurt only to immediately agree with them.
It's funny how this option is how i feel about my family at times 😂.
A “Sheldon-approved” restaurant.
1:30 Leonard, Howard and Raj quit solving the problem
Why couldn't they just smuggle Red Vines into the Twizzler theatre? It'd be a lot easier than smuggling Slurpees under their coats.
Sheldon ignoring that slurpee’s not being icee’s, which they are as it’s the exact same thing with a different name, isn’t a thing because he’s just that stubborn, like when he claims to be a comic book lover and ignored the update to wolverines past that Logan was born with bone claws losing a bet
And they're going to have a better time anyway if Sheldon sits this one out.
This is one of my favorites moments.
Wait all this to figure out what time the movie starts 🤣🤣🤣
Wouldn't it be easier to smuggle in Red Vines?
But then the joke would have been lost...
If Vulcans lived amongst us, we will have many Sheldons as Spocks
I like how they try until the end to fix the situation for Sheldon. True friendship
This might be the best scene from the whole series
It's like he wants to argue their decision but he knows he can't argue.
slurpees are icees. 7-11 just has an exclusive licencing deal with the icee company, allowing them to be renamed.
I have had to struggle to not be Sheldon at times in my life. I am a SUPER picky eater. And I have many times had to make scheduling and traveling decisions based off of that. But after years of practice, I have learned to work around it and not get excluded from hanging out with friends because of it. I can usually find one thing I can eat at any given restaurant and soda is easy for me.
Sheldon is so wrong in this instance when it comes to the difference between ICEE and Slurpee. Spoiler alert: there isn't one! 7-11 licensed the technology from the creator of ICEE and made up a new name to sell it under.
well, sheldon is wrong majority of the time and many episodes prove it.
The only solution they had, remove Sheldon from the equation.
They can just sneak in Red Vines into the theater that has Twizzlers. My brother and I have done stuff like that once in a while when we were growing up whenever we would go to the movies. It was fun.
"In life, there are no solutions. Only trade offs."
CGP Grey
Love Sheldon's T-shirt
0:08 That is Engineer for "I don't want to do work." lol
Well they were on a deadline. Can’t miss the movie 🍿
The only reason the 7-11 idea might have worked is because it was right next to the theatre. With the information we have, we have to assume that there is not a place that sells Red Vines next to a Sheldon-approved theatre that is also in close proximity to a Sheldon-approved restaurant.
Yes but Red Vines don't have a time component they can be purchased anywhere without concern for immediate expiration so its possible they simply stop by a market that is (presumably) close to their apartment on the way to get dinner
Except that he is to stubborn to accept icee’s and slurpees are the same thing, which they are, which is consistent with his character, he will dig in even when completely wrong because he can’t accept being wrong
I do believe you have cracked it.
I knew a girl who had an "approved restaurants" list. Don't miss her one bit.
The nerdy nerd humor, love it :)
Maybe it was running Oppenheimer
This was 2008
His inability to compromise on a tiny detail is scary. How does he get through a day.
People with autism can be like that. I speak from experience with my brother. He's can be worse than Sheldon at times.
Dang!
And afterwards he coped a feel on Penny, I say it was a win all around!
Honestly, this was when their relationship was realistic as hell. They tried to accommodate Sheldon, Sheldon put up his typical resistance, and when they realised that Sheldon was unlikely to make any types of compromises this time around, they respected his boundaries but kept their convictions regardless, deciding to just go without him. Sheldon responded in a really healthy way, too - he recognised that he was the one creating the problem, and they solved it logically by excluding him.
Turns out there is actually no difference at all between Slurpees and Icees. They're both made by the Icee Company. Exact same drink. It's just that 7-Eleven has a licensing deal to call them “Slurpees”.
Smuggling in a bag of redvines would have been a hell of a lot easier than Slurpee's.... plus they would have been the real thing and not fake...
Icy machines are an important factor
I always loved how they would over analyze things. Like Penny’s stereo.
As an engineer, I am offended by that diagram on the whiteboard.
It has no measurement units.
I am mad
Does the lines denoting temporal distance between theatres and restraunts not count?
The fact that people hate Sheldon makes me like him even more
You just never had experience with someone like him. My older brother was just like that, the entire family nicknames him Sheldon. He has an IQ of 139 and he was extremely difficult to deal with. He was so dry, didn't feel bad about anything as long as it was logical. Everything to him was just logic, logic, logic. It gets frustrating. Its like he was dead inside which made him inconsiderate. He believes his lack of empathy or consideration is justified as long as it is logical to be that way to solve a problem. Even a computer can be programmed to care more than him. Trust me, it gets infuriating. He repairs satellites in California now and also tests the computer software.
@@alfasiger4178 Wow your parents suck
Couldve just bought some twizzlers at the store and snuck them in.
I would’ve loved to see some computer simulations
In the end, the computer would also tell the guys to leave Sheldon behind...it is the simplest solution, after all.
The AI would find Sheldon annoying and leave him behind
as Yoda says in Star Gate "its only logical."
As a Star Wars, Star Trek, and Stargate fan, I have find this comment both infuriating, and funny. I both applaud and condemn you sir!
In stead of Slurpies, can't the smuggle in Red Vines?
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one....
I would excercise that option much more
You have to wonder why they don't do this more often.
They could have bought the red vines from another theater and sneak them into the one they wanted to go to
Another logical option would’ve been to buy Twizzlers in advance, which are far easier to sneak into a movie theater than Slurpees.
You mean Red Vines.
@@richardinman4091 Yes. I’m Canadian, so we only have Twizzlers, force of habit.
He could have just snuck in Twizzlers himself...
Red Vines, he was angry that the theater sold Twizzlers instead. Just for clarification.
Personally, I like Twizzler's better - they taste about the same, and are more fun to look at/play with. Red Vines are just boring...
I like how slurpies and icees are literally the same drink,being made by the same equipment from the same company.its just that 7 eleven wanted to call them slurpies to appeal to a younger audience
They could've just smuggled in red vines.
They could have smuggled red vines from the 7-Eleven after eating their meal, simple.
For once, a debate with Sheldon did NOT become contentious. Fascinating!
He's not even mad, the math says no and you can't argue with math
I'll give it to these guys. They tried. They tried very hard to include Sheldon.
Sheldon a Texan Slurppee > Iceee
Sadly they did not hear the "they are right" from sheldon
It seems hes okay sneaking drinks, why not sneak in red vines
google says:
Turns out there is actually no difference at all between Slurpees and Icees. They're both made by the Icee Company. Exact same drink. It's just that 7-Eleven has a licensing deal to call them “Slurpees”.
So... another thing Sheldon is wrong about?
Looking back, why didnt they just smuggle the red vines?
i wonder what movie they went to see
Problem super hero movie
Sheldons actually got some really solid points i mean twizzlers instead of red vines wtf is that
Twizzlers are far superior then red vines, and they shall name great straws as well
Seem like a Dijkstra algorithm to me
I would of liked to have heard his excuses about a different restaurant, not just theater.
The answer was to buy red vines at the store
How about they not eat before the film? That way they'll be hungry enough for popcorn.
:::insert Sheldon logic here:::
Why didn’t they just bring red vines to one of the other theaters?
Slurpee and icee are exactly the same thing. They are made by the same company, it's just that 7/11 have a licence to call them slurpees
They could have smuggled in Red Vines.
I actually think the solution was to just smuggle the twizzlers into the red one theater. Pretty sure that solved it.
Reverse that, the theater sold Twizzlers instead of Red Vines, but the basic idea is sound.
Personally, I prefer Twizzlers. They taste about the same, but their more fun to look at and play with!
...Don't judge me!
Slurpees are better than Icees
Slurpees are far superior to icee and that's a scientific fact.
Script:
Scene: The apartment. The guys are studying a complex chart on the whiteboard.
Leonard: Hmmm.
Sheldon: The problem appears to be unsolvable.
Raj: Maybe you could run some computer simulations.
Howard: There are too many variables. It would take forever.
Leonard: We’ve got to be missing something. Let’s start again. The movie is playing here at 7:20, here at 7:40, here at 8:10, and at 8:45.
Sheldon: Right, these theatres have to be eliminated.
Leonard: Why? They’re state-of-the-art digital projection 20-channel surround sound.
Sheldon: Yes, but they have no Icee machines. Despite my aggressive letter-writing campaign, I might add.
Raj: What about the multiplex here? The seats are terrific.
Sheldon: They have Twizzlers instead of Red Vines. No amount of lumbar support can compensate for that.
Leonard: Well, it’s gonna take at least an hour to eat, and I don’t see a Sheldon-approved restaurant proximate to a Sheldon-approved theatre.
Raj: We could eat after the movie.
Sheldon: Unacceptable, the delay would result in tomorrow morning’s bowel movement occurring at work.
Raj: Hang on, hang on. There’s a 7-Eleven here. We smuggle Slurpies, which are essentially Icees, in under our coats, after having a pleasant meal either here, here or here.
Howard: Wow. I don’t see how we missed that.
Sheldon: Excuse me, in what universe are Slurpies Icees?
Raj: That’s how we missed it.
Leonard: Sheldon, would you be prepared, on a non-precedential basis, to create an emergency ad-hoc Slurpie-Icee equivalency?
Sheldon: Oh, Leonard, you know I can’t do that.
Howard: Okay, I guess we only have one option.
Raj: Yep, I don’t see any way around it.
Leonard: Bye, Sheldon.
Howard: See ya.
Raj: Later, dude.
Sheldon: They’re right, it was the only option.
I don't blame you, Sheldon. Red Vines or nothing. Twizzlers suck.
Icees and Slurpee are indeed not the same which is fact, but my opinion would be I'd rather have a Slush Puppy while shopping around kmart.
Imagining, Jim sheldon as the owner of a gas headquarter he would probably fail since he has a lack of being a warmy human but oddly not maybe. Also, imagining i think it would be cool if the big bang theory gang could take over a science gas headquarters since these science nerds are passionate about science/beyond algebra math whereas some pple are not and not passionate/stuck in the wrong workplace
I knew this guy in college like Sheldon except we wouldn’t give a shit if he didn’t like where we chose to eat. I told him we ain’t forcing you to come with us, if you wanna come, come but you don’t gotta buy nothing. And if you don’t wanna come then don’t come, simple
What were they going to go see anyway
I checked and this episode premiered Feb 2, 2009. "Taken" premiered the day before that so I'm guessing that's what they were going to see.
Now wait a second... So Sheldon dismiss the 720 and the 810 theaters. Then later on says the 845 doesn't work either because of the Twizzlers, somehow... Anyway, so that leaves the 740 theater. Then later on Raj suggests eating at GR as one of his three options, and Sheldon doesn't seem opposed to that. And that restaurant is only 1.6 distance from the 740 theater, so, y'know, close enough, no?
Sheldon sacrificing himself in the name of logic proves how much of a scientist he really is.
A true Vulcan
Sheldon displays cognitive rigidity.
If they have gone through this several times befor e(or at least one time minimum), how can Sheldon not have eliminated those two movie theatres earlier?
He probably did, but Leonard said "Let's start again." Thus, the board is reset, and the two theaters were back in play.
So many other solutions to the problem. Red Vines could have been smuggled in to the theater that doesn't sell them, someone could have explained to Sheldon that Icees and Slurpies are the same thing, just named different due to copyright issues, they could have gotten hogdogs or pizza at the theater and eaten during the movie...but the funniest solution was to go a head a leave Sheldon behind, thus the joke is secure. Lol.
Why would they reset the board? Sheldon would npt chabge his mind about those movie theatres anyway.
@@hellion9547 I meant metaphorically, though your point is correct as well. Mostly it was for the guys to see if they had explored every option, making sure they hadn't missed something simple (the 7-11 being the example, even with Sheldon's 'In What World are Slurpees Icees?' observation).
@@dmadd4643 Well, Leonard asks why he wants to eliminate them. So he obviously can't have done it earlier.
