10 Best The Big Bang Theory Episodes To Watch After a Hard Day
A certain way to lighten up anyone’s mood.
There's nothing like rewatching your favorite show to make up for a bad day. However, when said show has been around for more than a decade and has had its fair share of questionable episodes, like The Big Bang Theory did back in the day, there is some danger in picking any random episode to play.
In order not to accidentally get even more upset than before, but to really relax and enjoy the evening, here are 10 of the funniest, light-hearted and wholesome episodes of The Big Bang Theory that will surely help to make all your worries go away.
The Ornithophobia Diffusion (S5E9)
As much as many viewers love Leonard and Penny and found their struggle to be friends after their breakup hilarious yet very relatable, the star of the episode is Sheldon's new bird friend who flies into the apartment. This unlikely friendship has captured the hearts of many viewers and is 100% sure to be the highlight of even the worst possible day.
The Convention Conundrum (S7E14)
You can say a lot of things about Sheldon Cooper and the way he treats people, but his problem-solving skills are pretty hard to deny. When the boys run out of Comic Con tickets, Sheldon is the one who sets up his own convention and makes sure it's just as fun. Or at least as memorable as Comic-Con would have been.
The Scavenger Vortex (S7E3)
One of the best things an ensemble show can do is show the unlikely combinations and characters together. This is exactly why The Scavenger Vortex is so much fun to watch. The way all the characters interact with each other once they're out of their usual pairings is both exciting and refreshing for viewers. The only complaint is: it ends too soon!
The Maternal Congruence (S3E11)
This episode marks the first appearance of Leonard's mother, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, portrayed by Christine Baranski. And as toxic and inconsiderate as she is, it's always a great pleasure for any Big Bang Theory fan to see her on screen, thanks to some amazing dialogue and great comedic timing.
The Staircase Implementation (S3E22)
Although viewers already knew a lot about the show's main characters after spending almost the entire 3 years with them, there was still a lingering mystery about how they got together in the first place. The Staircase Implementation is the episode that offers a glimpse into the past and reveals the truth of how all 4 characters became friends.
The Bachelor Party Corrosion (S9E3)
The episode was not only fun, thanks to the impromptu trip to Mexico that Sheldon, Howard and Raj organized as part of Leonard's bachelor party, but it was also very sentimental. Over the years, Leonard and Penny have gone through so much that viewers could feel like they were guests at both celebrations.
The Earworm Reverberation (S9E10)
We all know how annoying it is to have a song stuck in our head over and over again. Everyone has their own little tricks to make this torture stop, but Sheldon's method may be the best yet. After all, it helped him win Amy when everyone was starting to lose hope that it would ever happen. That is the power of music for you!
The Werewolf Transformation (S5E18)
If there's one thing more terrifying than Sheldon whining about how things are completely out of whack around him, it's Sheldon deciding to “embrace” the chaos. When his barber ends up in a coma and he cannot get his hair done, he starts acting more and more strangely with each passing hour, causing everyone to worry.
The Contractual Obligation Implementation (S6E18)
Just like the convention episode, this one is fun because it sends the character off to take a break and have fun somewhere else. For the girls' trip, Amy, Bernadette, and Penny all decide to skip work, go to Disneyland, and get the princess makeovers. The results are as tragic as you can imagine.
The Change Constant (S12E23) and The Stockholm Syndrome (S12E24)
Though this two-parter of a finale wraps up a 12-year journey the characters have been on with the audience, it doesn't have that melancholy feel to it that many last episodes do. The final scene shows that life goes on as usual in The Big Bang Theory universe and leaves viewers full of hope to see the characters again.
