What is the best ever episode of the Big Bang Theory?

[reecejackox]

in your opinion

i would say the one where Raj spoke to Penny without alcohol , great episode 

[shell]

When Sheldon played the bongos (One of them at least)_

[shell]

I'm not crazy when Howard is asked to throw the first pitch. I hate to hear him boo-ed when his robot takes forever to get to the plate

[margarete]

for me it was always 1x02

Yes, Penny and Sheldon always had great chemistry, and bexcause of Sheldon's usual hostile or disdainful manner his occasional shows of affection to P were very effective. But for S & P eps maybe the Adhesive Duck Deficiency (where Penny fell in the shower and Sheldon drove her to the ER) was even better.

Until he decided to cop a feel!

He didn't decide to cop a feel.

It was accidental.

I'm torn between The Robotic Manipulation and The Love Car Displacement.

I say he copped a feel. You call it what you want!

I'd say he didn't cop a feel either but we all have our opinions

That's right we do have our own opinions.

For me the best ever episode was "The Gorilla Dissolution" when Penny and Leonard got engaged. It really came as a surprise and was well done.

The shamy train episode by far, followed by the scavenger episode.

Best episode would be a close tie between Adhesive Duck Deficiency and Einstein Approximation, mostly because they make me laugh out loud consistently and have creative plots and memorable scenes .  The ballpit scene, the scene where Sheldon goes to the employment agency and Sheldon working at Cheesecake Factory were hysterical

Wow, those 2 would get in my top ten WORST episodes.

[3ku11]

All subjective of course but..

The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis

The Einstein Approximatation

The 43 Pecularity

The Egg Salad Equivalency. 

[bfm]

This is very hard, but I guess I'd have to say "The Einstein Approximation". IMO it is hilarious through and through, it is creative, the characters are all used very well in it and the performances are wonderful (including Menial Employee of the Month). The ballpit scene is a classic.

[veejay]

S6 - The Egg Salad Equivalency

Highlights for me: 'Sheldon Cooper's Council of Ladies‘, Penny’s disclosed insecurity (of course incl. the hilarious 'Molecules‘) & Leonard’s reaction. Also the brilliant dialogues between Sheldon and Alex & Janine Davis, the HR-admin.

The Sheldon hugging Penny bit was awesome, but the Penny/Dave Underhill bit was really bad.

Although I’m not a fan of the train episode I could find 10 episodes in each of the last 4 seasons that are worse than that and a few others before that that are worse.

My favorites:

1 Adhesive Duck

2.Egg Salad (JMO but This makes Alex the most beloved villainess in Lenny World)

As for Bath Item I think that fits into best scene ever more than best episode 

[shell]

I also love when they play Pictionary and when Sheldon doesn't sleep for days during his research. Love the smoking monkey when Amy is drunk--I believe it was their first kiss.

Agreed.

It was.

Prior to that, the closest they came to intimate physical contact, was when Amy licked her thumb, to remove raspberry jelly from the corner of his mouth.

It's between Bakersfield Expedition, Troll Manifestation and Veracity Elasticity for me. Those are the three episodes that if they were on tv I would just sit down on watch them every time they are on.

Veracity Elasticity was the most recent of the three and probably the last time I was well and truly in awe of this show and the heights it hit creatively, in an acting sense and in its production.

Which one was it when she removed the jam?

They didn't show it, but Sheldon described it in The Zazzy Substitution:-

Sheldon: She’s not my girlfriend. She’s a girl and she’s my friend, but there’s no touching or unsanitary exchange of saliva.

Leonard: Got it.

Sheldon: Although, for the record, on one occasion, she licked her thumb to remove raspberry jelly from the corner of my mouth. It’s an action we both regret to this day.
