It has been almost 5 years since the conclusion of The Big Bang Theory. But there are endless stories surrounding the characters that people still talk about to this day. One such sequence takes place between Jim Parsons’ Sheldon Cooper and Kaley Cuoco’s Penny. After coming across the scene again on social media, fans can’t help but wonder how he kept a straight face throughout the sequence.
The snippet, which can easily be one of the hottest in the sitcom, was also hilarious in so many different ways.
Jim Parsons Nailed This One Steamy Episode on TBBT With Kaley Cuoco
The Big Bang Theory has showcased several hilarious storylines featuring the main cast. While the audience loved the interaction between Johnny Galecki‘s Leonard and Jim Parsons‘ Sheldon, it was also quite heartwarming to witness how close the Texas native was with Kaley Cuoco‘s Penny. Despite them not getting along in the initial seasons.
The duo has several hilarious banters with each other, and Season 7, Episode 11 titled The Cooper Extraction brought forth a side of the duo that was funny in so many ways. But it can also be one of the sitcom’s hottest scenes ever. In this episode, Sheldon goes back to Texas as his sister Missy is having a baby.
After he leaves, the entire cast gets together in his apartment to decorate the Christmas tree. While they are talking about Sheldon and his not-so-fun tree decorating rules, Amy points out that it’s because of him the entire gang is together. In the midst of everyone’s imagination, Amy points out exactly how Penny’s life would have turned out if she hadn’t met Leonard.
In this scenario, Penny would try to seduce Sheldon. According to Amy, Penny stalks Sheldon in the laundry room and tries to flirt with him. Soon, Penny starts undressing herself and tells him that “I need you to take me.” To this, Sheldon replies, “I’m not taking you anywhere till you put on a shirt.”
In the end, Amy brings herself into the conversation when Sheldon reminds Penny that he’s actually saving himself for a cute, bespectacled neurobiologist.
Jim Parsons’ Thoughts on Reprising His TBBT Character for Young Sheldon
In an interview, Jim Parsons detailed his happiness at reprising his famous Sheldon Cooper character for Young Sheldon. He described the entire journey as being both “weird and beautiful” and expressed deep admiration for the creators Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro for bringing him back. Not just Parsons, but even Mayim Bialik made a cameo.
While the actor loved reprising his role here, he’s in no mood to participate in a TBBT sequel. In an interview with E! News, he detailed that it would take “reincarnation” for him to reprise his role again in the future.
Even though he was open to future possibilities when he said, “never say never,” this won’t be happening anytime soon. He added:
It was very special to do that. The feeling today is kind of odd. It’s the second time now because when we ended The Big Bang Theory it felt like this too, a little bit different, but you shoot that final episode and it’s wrapped for you. And then a couple of months later it wraps for the rest of the world and it’s a very weird feeling to flood over you again like that.
Interestingly, Young Sheldon details Sheldon Cooper’s childhood and younger years in Texas. Further, Parsons served as the show’s narrator throughout the seven seasons.
