The Movie Theatre Conundrum | The Big Bang Theory

Sheldon ignoring that slurpee’s not being icee’s, which they are as it’s the exact same thing with a different name, isn’t a thing because he’s just that stubborn, like when he claims to be a comic book lover and ignored the update to wolverines past that Logan was born with bone claws losing a bet

I love that Sheldon went 'yeah that's the only option we can do'

Slurpees are far superior to icee and that's a scientific fact.

Dang!

Looking back, why didnt they just smuggle the red vines?

I don't blame you, Sheldon. Red Vines or nothing. Twizzlers suck.

In stead of Slurpies, can't the smuggle in Red Vines?

Wait all this to figure out what time the movie starts 🤣🤣🤣

I like how they try until the end to fix the situation for Sheldon. True friendship

They forgot that they could bring their own Red Vines from a nearby gas station

Even Sheldon said “they’re right, I’m the problem” in his own way

I WANT EVERYONE TO TAKE SOMETHING INTO ACCOUNT!
This is not just in relation to the scene but in relation to the real world Cinemas.

Usually the trailers and/or advertisements that appear before the movie play takes around 10 - 15 minutes.

If a cinema states a film is playing at half past any hour. The film itself will play a quarter to the following hour.

But these nerds I’m sure took that into account.

And regardless as to what you may think it is NOT worth watching the trailers on the big screen. You’re paying to see a movie not paying to see a trailer you’re going to see in the same theatre at a later date.

Plus.. there’s no comment section in those cinemas.

Actually, what if they just snuck in some red vines for Sheldon wouldn’t that solve the problem?

"How did we miss that?"

This scene has bothered me for years. While not an expert on the subtle differences between Slurpees and Icees that could result in an unchallengeable preference, It is an undeniable fact that both Red Vines and Twizzlers are substandard representation of licorice candies with Red Vines being absolute trash, with no redeeming value other than its use as decorative lashing on the fence of your annual gingerbread house.

Perfect example of how Sheldon was incapable of compromise earlier in the show.

min. distance to theater
s.t.
theater has icee machine
theater has red vines
epsilon-close to a Sheldon approved restaurant

How meticulous they were with it, haha.

"no amount of lumbar can compensate for that"

ok, I don't even watch the show, save for a lot of clips but I love you now, Sheldon. I totally prefer twizzlers over red vines.. (you already said it in your head), BAZINGA!

I relate to you by the end, Sheldon but you handled that superbly.

Me and a few friends tried smuggling in Taco Bell. We got caught, told to leave. Other times, we would have lunch together, while eating we would talk. But two of my friends always disagree . So by the time we got done eating, went to the car, full blown shouting match. It did not matter the content of the conversation. Every friggan time. Me and Eric one of the other friends just leaned against the car and talked Warhammer 40k, until the arguing finally ending. Nobody ever won those arguments.

Raj is actually correct. Icee was the original, Slurpee licensed the technology. So they are essentially the same thing. The caveat being the flavors may differ. Icee Cherry might be a different kind of syrup than the Cherry Slurpee. Slurpee also tends to get more “extra” flavors, like Coke and Dr Pepper, or Fanta Orange. But they have the exact same texture, which is a point to them being the same.

Though more recently (well after this episode aired) both Icee and Slurpee have started using flavor mixing machines that have one spout, and you can select a flavor, or even mix flavors. But a few places still have the old school Icee machine with red and blue flavors.

This is one of the more egregious laugh tracks. There is one punch-line at the end of the scene, but the rest is just dialogue. Yet the "audience" is laughing every four seconds.

Technically slurpees and icees are from the same company but for legal reasons have different names

Slurpees are the exact same as Icee's. The only difference is that 7-11 has the original namst

I've had a conversation just like this

this scene perfectly represents what I love so much about this show!

Slurpee’s are far superior to ICEE’s

Sometimes I question how good a friend Sheldon is but then he shows awareness like this and accepts the solution 😂

On my first watch of this scene, I didn’t even realize that Sheldon was the only one who cared

Sheldon just drink a slurpee they are the same thing. Happy free slurpee day it's 7-11's birthday we don't have one around here but wish we did

Q: How do you go to the movies with Sheldon?

A: Don’t bring Sheldon.

Sheldon is the biggest waste of space on the planet

Even the most powerful chess engines could not solve this.

Early BBT was really good.

I think it shows that Sheldon only problem with the slurpee plan is that it's not exactly what he wants. So if you could find a place to buy Red Vines in advance they could just sneak those into multiplex instead

Im actually curious which one they chose disregarding sheldon

....drats....

It's my belief that the reason Sheldon doesn't believe in God is he doesn't like the competition...

Sheldon...YIELD to the LOGIC of the situation! 😂😂😂🍻

Use AHP guys.

When the only way to win is not to play.

I always enjoy when they decide to just disregard Sheldon and go about it without him. Like what happened when they got gelato with Stan Lee. Granted Sheldon couldn't be there regardless due to his own social ineptitude but blamed it on Penny but that still didn't stop Leonard, Raj, and Howard from still getting the gelato despite knowing how bummed Sheldon would have been to miss it.

They had the idea to abandon sheldon in this scenario but not in others

I’m with Sheldon on this one if I’m gonna go to a movie theater, they need slushy machines!!

Ditching Sheldon actually opened up many solutions.
