The Little House on the Prairie was a super popular early 70's show based on the books of Laura Ingram who lived in the 1800's. Interesting fact. The girl who played Laura on the show was the actual sister of the girl who plays Leslie Winkle on Big Bang
Laura Ingalls, actually.
@@theduckchick Thank you for correcting me. It's been a forever ago since I watched or payed attention to anything more than the memory of the title of the show
I loved that show so much
So glad Sheldon ended up enjoying Pride and Prejudice. It is a flawless masterpiece
The reason Garfield hates Monday is the day is just filled with chaos for him.
To debunk Amy’s point about Raiders. The only way the Nazi’s found the location to the head piece to the Staff of Ra was because the Nazi’s followed Indy to Nepal, to get the head piece. If Indy didn’t exist I doubt the Nazi’s would’ve known to look for it in Nepal
They may not have known, but I feel that they would have tracked it down on their own eventually. They just knew that following Indy would be their best bet at finding the medallion.
Yeah I don’t recall the Nazi’s following Indy in the first place
Actually, Garfield's owner Jon is a cartoonist. He works at home.
I honestly don’t feel like petty sex was a bad thing considering penny didn’t respect Leonard’s feelings when he said this is a sensitive issue to him at least Leonard chose something that they both enjoyed while penny kept throwing the embarrassing parts in the book in his face … that being said the you still go left joke is super funny and whole situation was entertaining as for Stewart and Raj can’t blame the women for not taking to the high level awkwardness women generally speaking like well spoken men and while both gentlemen are well spoken with one another they hugely let their anxiety win every time instead of focus on gaining more confidence by each experience.
I'm pretty sure he was saying "pity sex" not "petty sex".
Indy's role is more of a witness to the events so it doesn't matter if he's essential to the plot😁
No. Indy knew where the staff of Ra headpiece was, but the Germans didn’t. Without Indy, the Germans would have never found the Ark.
Always the best part of Tuesday. Worth the wait every week.
1:57 Blow Sheldon's mind!
2:57 Well Dam!
3:22 it's won't the movie genius!
7:00 Leanord Dirty Dog
8:00 Evil Sheldon Cooper
9:33 Alright than 😮
10:37 Busted Leanord!
11:57 Way to go Amy!
I can restore faith in Raiders with one ultimate truth: Without Indy nobody would have known to shut their eyes, MOST IMPORTANTLY the audience itself. Hence it teases the lesson to always follow directions, Indy knew the directions and knew enough to warn Marion. And yes you're right when you said the experience Indy had was important enough to have made a difference. The experiences are important and without Indy's involvement, the moral of the movie itself would have been lost and the heroic vibe would not even exist. The film would have been very dismal for the viewer to watch without a hero to give us a triumphant feeling. Belloq and Toht were so disgustingly evil and creepy it would have given the viewer a much harsher and anxious vibe and probably wouldn't have been enjoyed as much as an action film. There would have been little to no action, the film would probably drag for an hour and turn into a horror movie at the end. The significance lies within Indy who carried on the heroic spirit and experiences, along with the audience. So yes I feel it is very significant that Indy was there to begin with, even if it only mattered to we, the viewers.
Little House on the Prairie is a TV show based on the Little House book series. They are autobiographies written for kids by Laura Ingalls
"What ruined Indiana Jones more?" The fandom
I wish this episode hadn't framed Amy's thesis as correct when it clearly isn't. And here are the reasons:
1. Indy led the Nazis to Marion and had he not intervened, the Nazis would have killed her, taken the medallion and found the Ark before Indy.
2. The Nazis had no idea where the Ark was because they had only read one side of the medallion while Indy had read both sides.
3. The Ark was supposed to be flown to Berlin and opened there. Belloq never planned to open it on the island until Indy caused a delay in plans by wrecking the plane.
4. The Ark would have remained lost or rediscovered by the Nazis had Indy and Marion not brought it back to the States.
Actually the Germans didn’t know where the Ark was, they only knew the general location, that’s why they were looking for Ravenwood and the headpiece to the Staff of Ra. The had no idea where Ravenwood was, so they followed Indy to Marion who had the headpiece. The movie explains it when they are at the school talking to the government men. When Indy gets on the seaplane to fly to Europe you can see a German agent watching him.
@@WilliamTheMovieFan That's why I said "Indy led the Nazis to Marion."
@@vetarlittorf1807 sorry, your statement was a little confusing. I thought your presupposition was that the Nazi’s knew where Marion was already and were going to kill her, then Indy intervened and saved Marion.
You and I are correct though. If Indy hadn’t traveled to find Marion, the Nazi’s wouldn’t have found her or the Staff of Ra’s headpiece.
I mean, had it been taken to Berlin, it would have killed significantly more important Nazis, and possibly even Hitler himself.
I don’t recall the Nazi’s originally following Indy in the first place, but I’ll watch the movie again in case I’m wrong
I don’t recall the Nazi’s following Indy to Marion in the first place, I’ll watch the movie again, but seems to me the Nazi’s already knew where to look for the head piece.
Penny did sleep with leonard whenever he got sad about his mother. And leonard manipulating her was a shi**y thing to do. But Penny should've been more caring and understanding of his abuse. His mother wrote a book called the disappointing child and she joked about it!
I'm old and saw Raiders in theater. At that time I was a kid and didn't think of Amy's point. But later views on VHS (remember those) and I arrived at Amy's same point...... decades ago,
Does that make me a genius?....yeah, right 😜
But, despite the BBT boys and people in the comment section trying to rationalize. Amy is correct. The Nazis, IF they even found it, were not going to be able to use it. It would just kill them.
So what part does Indy play? But I still love this movie and have the original 3 on DVD. Know what I don't have? The 4th one. That movie was way worse then realizing Indy is kind of pointless
I know Leonard's done some messed up things, but given the experiences that Penny had herself with his mother, she really shouldn't have read that book out of respect for Leonard.
4:49 lol
It actually makes me like the Indiana Jones movie more. Character being along for a ride and mostly failing is much more compelling than big Hero guy who saves everyone.
This is a funny episode, but Amy is wrong about Indy’s role in the film. The Germans only knew of the general location of the Ark. They needed the headpiece to the Staff of Ra to find the exact location. The Germans only knew that Ravenwood might have the headpiece, but didn’t know where he was. Indy knew roughly where he could be and went to find him and Marion. German agents followed Indy to Marion’s location. When Indy boards the seaplane to take him to Europe, you can see a German agent watching him.
Without Indy’s involvement, the Germans wouldn’t have found the Ark.
10:24 ... *_But Garfield detests his owner!_* 😂 *_I exaggerate but, it is a love/hate relationship at best (... And, come to think of it: Jon, Garfield's owner, does NOT HAVE A JOB! 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously: The guy has never been seen at work since the beginning of the comic strip and I don't even think he ever said the words "I'm going to work, now!"🤦♂)_*
12:07 ... *_Aaaaaand of course you had to freeze on her seemingly giving you the sexy side eye like that_* 😂😂😂 *_Though I think Dr. Beverly Hofstadter would have quite a few interesting things to say about this "Obvious overcompensation"_* 🤣🤣🤣_*(No shade though: We all thought worse than that!... It's just really funny how easily I could hear Leonard's mom's condescending voice at that very moment...! 😱😅)*_
Jon has a cat and a dog; he absolutely has a job, otherwise he wouldn't be to afford two pets
Nice thumbnail.
I like these reactions ecause the TV version usually censors some bits out.
What "TV version" are you talking about? What's censored? I've never seen anything new here that I didn't see before.
@@KaiLucasZachary in the UK, There's a channel called E4. When they show Big Bang episodes during the day, they'll edit out some dirty jokes or a few swears here an there.
@@theodoretekkers I’d love some examples just for educational purposes. There’s not that much that I consider to be to risqué for television.
@@KaiLucasZacharyThey’ll censor any mention of drugs, prostitution or other lewd words relating to genitalia, but they’ll keep “sex” in. Lol. Restrictions for shows in the U.K. during the day are weird
indiana jones fans going wild in the comments 😭
10:17 I actually liked the fourth movie - then again it was my introduction to Indiana Jones, I went to see it in cinemas with my dad.
In any case it hardly ruins the rest of the franchise. I can't really see the outcome of the 3rd movie being the same or even happening if he wasn't there.
Honestly, the 4th one is a masterpiece compared to the recent one.
Made me realize that Indy could have let the Nazis keep his father’s diary and it would have ended the same.
If the Nazis figured out to "kneel before God" that in Latin Jehova begins with an "I", and there was a camouflaged bridge, they'd have to figure out which one was the real Grail. And if they did figure out it was the plain one, it wouldn't have done them any good because the cup couldn't leave the temple. So the whole thing was for nothing.
But you know what? Still my favorite of all of them.
Sure, but they might have killed Indy's dad getting the information out of him, or made the dad go through the trials instead of him. They already had him locked up. Without Indy's athleticism he probably would have died.
@@kateorgera5907 same can be said about Marion in the first movie.
I'm not saying Indy was insignificant to the final outcome. I'm saying Indy and Henry didn't have to go to Berlin to retrieve the diary. They could have just saved Marcus and go home and the Nazis would have lost no matter what.
@@DanSolo0119 Ah, true, I suppose. I guess the point was HENRY still wanted the grail at that point, so they still needed the diary. It was more of a character decision than a pragmatic decision.
@@kateorgera5907 it was as Marcus said, "The search for the Grail is the search for the divine in all of us."
To refute Amy’s point, wouldn’t more Nazis come over to retrieve the ark after the original group died? Who knows who else might’ve found it while it was out in the open?
For me, it was the struggle, the cleverness and the character's determination that made the first Indy movie so enjoyable for me. I do love Indy 4, though after hearing details about the 5th movie, I don't think I will ever see it.
I find it interesting that when dissecting Amy's point, nobody talks about how, hey: Maybe the movie issue about Indy's character development more than about him stopping the Nazis?
Going after the Ark brings Indy to Marion, the woman he hurt all those years ago, severing the relationship between him and his mentor Abner in the process. Some say Marion might have been killed if Indy hadn't shown up at the bar when the Nazis did, while others argue that the Nazis never would have found Marion if not for Indy, which... is pretty unclear, tbh. Still, adventuring together helps them heal those old wounds. It also causes Indy to confront his skepticism and laissez-faire attitude about treasure hunting. If Indy continued on the path he was on, never going after the Ark, would he be much better than Belloq? Indy learns to do what Belloq can't and respects the forces he doesn't understand, which saves him and Marion.
Which makes sense considering how biblical the film really is. (copied from TVTropes) "In the Old Testament, God often instructs His people to (as per 1 Chronicles 20:17) "set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you". God would then either smite the enemy directly (as in the film) or sow confusion amongst their number, turning them upon each other and leaving the Israelites with mopping up. Many of the fledgling nation's early battles were handled thusly, including the infamous case where God used arbitrary methods to reduce the size of the Israelite army to a couple hundred - just so that they (and their enemies) would have to realize that it was He who was responsible for the victory."
You'd think Sheldon, having survived years with his Born Again Christian mother, or Howard, being Jewish, would get this. But considering both have rejected strictly following their faiths, maybe that's precisely why they can't see those allusions in the film themselves. But, in truth, Raiders is more about how Indy changes and becomes more humbled, NOT how he stops the Nazis. But of course the guys don't care about the emotional journey - they just want their badass heroes, so they miss the point, as does pragmatic Amy.
Indy is not inconsequential to the plot:
- Marion would've been found by the nazi for her necklace, and probably killed in the process
- After the ceremony, Indy (the only survivor with Marion) takes the ark to the americans. Without him it could have been found by only God who, literally
I wouldn't say Leonard deserved that. He already had a shitty past. Learning to turn a bad experience to a good experience is not something to punish. Also females manipulate in a relationship almost the entire time they're in a relationship, and do the men ever punish them for it? Hardly ever because then they get called controlling or abusive or some shit.
Seems like someone has their own mommy issues if you think "females" are almost entirely manipulative.
Why can’t women keep secrets?
Why can't people see that men reveal just as many secrets as women? Ooohhhh right, women = bad. I forgot.
Not gonna lie... i'm surprised anyone like the 1st Indiana Jones movie. I personaly won't even call it "entretaining"😕.
I hope it's ok to feel this way.
Of course it's okay to feel any type of way you want. It's insane that you've been indoctrinated to think you have to apologize for stating an opinion in today's society.
Terrible taste in tv and film!!! Little House?? Yuck!!!
SPOILER...INDIANA JONES SEQUELS SUCK!!!👎👎
