7 Funniest ‘Young Sheldon’ Quotes, Ranked

The prequel to The Big Bang Theory has kept us laughing through every awkward Cooper family moment. Whether it's Sheldon's literal interpretations of social situations or Meemaw's southern wisdom, Young Sheldon knows how to give us witty dialogue. Today we're counting down 7 funniest quotes from the show.

7. “A Broom Closet and Satan’s Monopoly Board” (Season 3, Episode 2)

Pastor Jeff: Which one says “Robin, I like you” but also says “God is watching, be cool”?

Mary: The blue one.

Pastor Jeff trying to deal with the dangerous waters of dating while maintaining his religious integrity will always be funny.

6. “A High-Pitched Buzz and Training Wheels” (Season 2, Episode 1)

Sheldon: Yes, Derek! I have training wheels like a child! I also have a job like an adult. I'm a very complicated person!

After breaking their fridge, Sheldon needs to pay his dad back. He gets a job as a paperboy. When he's late for class, he explains that his training wheels broke. When Derek mocks his training wheels, Sheldon claps back with this perfectly delivered line.

5. “A Computer, a Plastic Pony, and a Case of Beer” (Season 1, Episode 12)

Meemaw: I could buy it for him and then y'all could pay me back when you can.

George: Okay, Connie, now you're just insulting me.

Meemaw: Well, that was not my intention, but I'm glad to hear it.

George doesn't want to accept financial help for Sheldon's computer. Meemaw's offering comes from a place of love, but George's pride won't let him take it. And in true Meemaw fashion, she can't resist that final little dig!

4. “Four Hundred Cartons of Undeclared Cigarettes and a Niblingo” (Season 6, Episode 1)

Sheldon: Do you think Georgie got a tattoo in jail?

Mary: No.

Sheldon: Do you think Meemaw did?

Mary: Probably.

This exchange is gold! After Meemaw and Georgie's cigarette-smuggling goes wrong, this gives us pretty much everything we've known and need to know about Meemaw.

3. “Pilot” (Season 1, Episode 1)

Mary: You understand that some people are going to be intimidated by you ‘cause of how smart you are?

Sheldon: Or maybe they'll recognize my intellect and make me their leader.

As Mary tries to prepare Shelly for potential social challenges on his first day of high school, his response is very Sheldon: social naivety and boundless confidence. He's completely unaware that his peers might not share his enthusiasm, but does he really care?

2. “Body Glitter and a Mall Safety Kit” (Season 3, Episode 12)

Sheldon: This isn't the Hello Kitty store.

Paige: No. It's Hot Topic.

Sheldon: What's the topic, devil worship?

When Paige returns post-parents' divorce with her makeover, the clash between her new style and Sheldon is comedy gold. This odd dynamic gives us some of the show's most underrated moments. And we're still sad that Paige got kind of abandoned in the show.

1. “Pilot” (Season 1, Episode 1)

Georgie: Admit it. He's adopted.

Sheldon: How can I be adopted when I have a twin sister? Think, monkey, think.

The Cooper family dinner table gave us a lot of memorable quotes, but this exchange from the Pilot is still iconic.
