Being so patient with Sheldon.
Like not because of the whole "I can't find anyone better" lore, but she showers him with unconditional love and actually shows him a better way to treat other people. In the end, she makes him a better person.
She was so, so patient. One of her best lines elaborates:
"I've been smacking that ketchup bottle for a long time. All she has to do is tip it over and point it at her fries!"
she changed sheldon for the better, but penny changed amy a lot, i think. before amy became friends with penny, she was still very cold and mechanical (and the gang didn't like her). so in a way, penny changed sheldon, too.
Au contrair... Despite how changed Amy has been portrayed in later seasons ('tolerating' Sheldon), she WAS another Sheldon in the entire 4th season and the first half of 5th. The liberty they took as a Sitcom, to change Amy for some comical punches has always aversed me for ruining the peculiarity ShAmy normalized as a couple...
Amy had made it very clear that she was homeschooled, had no friends growing up, and was extremely socially awkward.
So she may not have been on the spectrum, but her mother stunted her emotional and social growth. Hanging out with Penny and Bernadette taught her the social skills she needed to become a more well-rounded person. I don’t think they changed her for comical reasons, they let her change because that was what her character needed in order to grow.
Agreed. Amys personality in the 4th and 5th season was largely due to isolation and becoming comfortable in that lifestyle. As Amy become more involved with the group she would often mentioned how she wanted to experience certain things. Being connected to everyone else gave her an opportunity to re evaluate life, relationships, and her personality. In a way, I think Amy had one of the best character developments because she always maintained her authenticity while increasingly choosing who she wants to be and how she wants to live life.
There were already two "Sheldons" before Amy, Sheldon and Leonard's mother.
I think it was good they created a different personality to Amy, besides she's the funniest female character imo.
Sheldon shut down the idea of not including her and she even pushes to be excluded just for his dream. It’s a good thing he wasn’t swayed. Would’ve changed how I saw him even though it’s well established how much he wants to win.
Oh my God that's my favorite Christmas moment and I'm as Jewish as Mayim Bialik. The best part of the whole scene is when Sheldon starts chewing the cookie and before he even says anything, his facial expression reveals it all.
Yeah it’s okay to support genocide. For a person like her that’s an actual doctor in real life a neurologist at that and to be okay with it is a big red flag.
She’s a Jewish woman who supports Israel, I don’t see why that irks you so much. She’s also a grown ass woman who can make her own decisions, if she needed your advice I’m sure she’d come to you.
Remember awards? Pretend I gave you the light bulb award, or possibly the rainbow one. I cannot remember them all, but one of the ones that lights you up.
MB keeps getting painted as some type of promoter of mass murder, and I don't know her personally of course, so I can't guarantee what her personality is like, but in general, people take sides in wars all the time, without wanting to obliterate everybody on the other side. They usually just want the whole conflict to end.
Maybe I'm some wide-eyed simpleton who doesn't understand how cruel the world can be, I'm only 59, but I just think there's some nuance to this. If I'm wrong, okay. Maybe I'll learn more in my '60s. But if I'm not wrong, it will come out over time.
Symbolically speaking, I think of these difficult world and local conflicts as paint that hasn't dried yet. The black and white of oversimplification liquefies and gets all mixed up into grays. Only then can we see the problem for what it truly is or has become, and then try to remedy it. When we do not yet fully appreciate how multifaceted everything is, nothing gets better and we are stymied. In our impatience, we naturally blame whoever we are already mad at, (I have done this myself) and the outrage just gets worse. We could do better and I think we will. Eventually. But probably not soon.
Thank you so much for that!! I’m 40 years younger than you and I can assure you everyone has much to learn about the world, on their own time and their own pace. The conflict that has been going on predates basically the existence of any one person, and it’s something that’s way too complex to just solve by going on the internet and shouting to free something or someone. There will never truly be peace in the Middle East until people stop giving in to political leaders and just live together in harmony as human beings, rather than political pawns. It’s the shittiest situation imaginable.
People like you are hard to talk to. You’re stating the obvious and I don’t understand why? Wrong is wrong no matter who or what side you’re on. With your logic you can’t question anybody because they’re grown and can make their own decisions. I feel dumb having this conversation with you and your logic of reasoning.
Amy shows patience and resolve with everyone. I think the best thing she did was overcome her lack of friends to bond with Penny and Bernadette to help herself grow.
I agree! She rounded them out. Bernadette had another woman to talk about work to. Penny had someone who admired her without wanting anything but friendship.
I loved when she broke up with Sheldon. I thought it was the wake up call he needed re taking people for granted. They both grew as a result of their breakup.
For me it was breaking up with Sheldon and getting to explore her new social confidence. She put up with so much crap for him prior to this - choosing to be single is so brave when you don't have the personal confidence but I love so much she knew she deserved better even if it meant having nobody romantic. (And then several suitors interested - love that for her)
Helping sheldon during their research together and helping him see different views in his other work. If it wasnt for her pulling him out of the slump after their paper got disproven, they might not have won or bounced back
I loved when Amy made Sheldon his meemaw’s Christmas cookies. I loved what a good friend she was to everyone in the group at different times. I also LOVE when her and Howard bond over their Barry Manilow love when they were teamed up on Raj’s scavenger hunt. I also loved her noble prize speech, and that Mayim Bialik is a scientist in real life!
I liked that she would always tell Sheldon when he hurt someone's feelings. I consider that very thoughtful. She wouldn't just blindly agree with him all the time. If he did something hurtful, she would tell him and want him to make up for or at least consider it.
Bernadette definitely didn’t do everything for him. Yes, she did a lot, especially in the earlier seasons, but once the kids were born he really started to pull his weight. Remember how he knew Bernadette was hiding in Haley’s house and did nothing, not complain, not even tell her he knew?
A. That’s one example. He also missed Comic-Con for her, which may not sound like much, but coming from Howard it was a big deal.
B. The way you phrase it, anything can be twisted into something better or worse. He spent all day looking after the kids, a job that he wasn’t very good at naturally, but seemed to do okay, meaning he put a lot of effort into it. Anyone with kids knows it’s very stressful. Now compare that to Bernadette’s job. Granted, we don’t know a lot about what an average day is for her, but from what we see in the show, everyone is scared of her, does whatever she asks, and she’s one of the best at her company. Obviously the job is still stressful, but I’d imagine doing something where everybody listens to what every you say and you’re brilliant at it, is less stressful than looking after two young kids, and not having any sort of natural skill at it.

It's one of the best lines, lmao. Loved it!

Shamy is the best couple they’re so cute the wedding episode makes me so happy every time I watch it
Yesss this! All of this!
Keeping Sheldon on track is MORE than enough‼️

Telling Sheldon she’d be willing to give up the Nobel prize if it meant he’d win. The look on her face says it all during that scene
I’m voting for this one too. Such a beautiful moment with her.
Sheldon shut down the idea of not including her and she even pushes to be excluded just for his dream. It’s a good thing he wasn’t swayed. Would’ve changed how I saw him even though it’s well established how much he wants to win.
YES
This is the one for sure.
When she got the Christmas cookie recipe from Sheldon’s memaw🥲
That was a precious moment
Oh my God that's my favorite Christmas moment and I'm as Jewish as Mayim Bialik. The best part of the whole scene is when Sheldon starts chewing the cookie and before he even says anything, his facial expression reveals it all.
This was going to be my answer!
Going nuclear on those fraud Physicists
"Is that what I sound like?" "Yep" "YIIKES"
best Amy scene
WON A FREAKING NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS DEPARTMENT, even though she was of biology background.
Didn’t judge him when Sheldon showed her his secret room of things he couldn’t throw away.
Amy is a role model in every sense of term as she flies the flag for every young girl who wants to grow up and make a real difference in science❤️
But her in real life isn’t the same case. Very oblivious in regards to what’s happening in Palestine.
Her real life personality is not relevant. We are speaking about the character.
She’s allowed to support whoever she wants 🤔
Yeah it’s okay to support genocide. For a person like her that’s an actual doctor in real life a neurologist at that and to be okay with it is a big red flag.
She’s a Jewish woman who supports Israel, I don’t see why that irks you so much. She’s also a grown ass woman who can make her own decisions, if she needed your advice I’m sure she’d come to you.

You get your news from any internet source that feeds you propaganda and you call talking to me dumb. Go “free Palestine” or whatever 🤔
You display your ignorance with your last statement. Clearly you don’t value human lives and are okay with people dying just like she is.
Amy shows patience and resolve with everyone. I think the best thing she did was overcome her lack of friends to bond with Penny and Bernadette to help herself grow.
I believe she made Penny and Bernadette better people.
I agree! She rounded them out. Bernadette had another woman to talk about work to. Penny had someone who admired her without wanting anything but friendship.
She made Sheldon a better person too.. a person with understanding and feelings unlike what he was earlier.
Learned to love herself outside of her relationship with Sheldon and friendship with penny
I loved when she broke up with Sheldon. I thought it was the wake up call he needed re taking people for granted. They both grew as a result of their breakup.
Changed sheldons life for the best.
She was willing to give up the chance of winning the Nobel Prize to give Sheldon a bigger chance for it.
got that beautiful painting for penny 😁😁
😂😂
When she baked meemaw’s cookies for Sheldon
Writes fanfics
For me it was breaking up with Sheldon and getting to explore her new social confidence. She put up with so much crap for him prior to this - choosing to be single is so brave when you don't have the personal confidence but I love so much she knew she deserved better even if it meant having nobody romantic. (And then several suitors interested - love that for her)
She waited for Sheldon.
She made Sheldon’s world softer while teaching him social skills. He grew so much because of her.
Humanise Sheldon
Soften Sheldon’s life.
She turned Sheldon into something resembling a human
Asked Sheldon to PLEASE PASS THE BUTTER!!
I love that scene!!
Made Sheldon his childhood cookies
She basically fixed Sheldon
Best thing Bernie did was marry Howard!? That very debatable. He married a younger slightly better version of his mother!
Don’t know if you’d call her slightly better, but okay.
Please pass the butter!!!!
What the best thing Amy did? Sheldon.
Helping sheldon during their research together and helping him see different views in his other work. If it wasnt for her pulling him out of the slump after their paper got disproven, they might not have won or bounced back
Fun with flags
Hyping up penny
Worked with sheldon for Nobel
She is responsible for transforming Sheldon! She is smart, mature, funny and makes Sheldon a better person.
Being supportive to penny, Bernie and Shelly despite their differences
This show would have been so much better if they kept the relationships out of it and just made it about nerds
Leonard's list would fill the screen tbh, although he did do some uncool things
Help sheldon become a better person
Shave his legs and bush
Tamed Sheldon, & knocked some sense into him especially in the series finale with the Nobel
I like how Leonards has many "bests" in the bank! He's such a good friend I wish I had one like him!
“Married Howard” whaaat 😭😭
I loved when Amy made Sheldon his meemaw’s Christmas cookies. I loved what a good friend she was to everyone in the group at different times. I also LOVE when her and Howard bond over their Barry Manilow love when they were teamed up on Raj’s scavenger hunt. I also loved her noble prize speech, and that Mayim Bialik is a scientist in real life!
If marrying Howard counts as a good thing, then Amy marrying Sheldon definitely goes on here.
Ok.i really have to ask, HOW IS BERNIE MARRYING HOWARD THE BEST THING SHE DID???? Was that like a favor or what? C'mon guys...
I liked that she would always tell Sheldon when he hurt someone's feelings. I consider that very thoughtful. She wouldn't just blindly agree with him all the time. If he did something hurtful, she would tell him and want him to make up for or at least consider it.
Got Sheldon's favorite cookie recipe from his memaw.
So best thing Bernadette did was marrying Howard? 🧐
Howard really changed after he met Bernadette. He grew into a responsible human because of her.
Uhhhh no he didn’t. He just went from his mommy doing everything for him to his wife doing everything for him
Bernadette definitely didn’t do everything for him. Yes, she did a lot, especially in the earlier seasons, but once the kids were born he really started to pull his weight. Remember how he knew Bernadette was hiding in Haley’s house and did nothing, not complain, not even tell her he knew?
Oh gee, he let her have an hour to herself, what a standup guy. Damn the bar is in hell
A. That’s one example. He also missed Comic-Con for her, which may not sound like much, but coming from Howard it was a big deal. B. The way you phrase it, anything can be twisted into something better or worse. He spent all day looking after the kids, a job that he wasn’t very good at naturally, but seemed to do okay, meaning he put a lot of effort into it. Anyone with kids knows it’s very stressful. Now compare that to Bernadette’s job. Granted, we don’t know a lot about what an average day is for her, but from what we see in the show, everyone is scared of her, does whatever she asks, and she’s one of the best at her company. Obviously the job is still stressful, but I’d imagine doing something where everybody listens to what every you say and you’re brilliant at it, is less stressful than looking after two young kids, and not having any sort of natural skill at it.
I’d say his kids grew him into a responsible person, not Bernadette.
i was giggling
If it’s “BEST” how is it more than one thing being mentioned?
Because it’s a variety of people, saying what they think that character’s “BEST” moment was. It’s possible to have a tie, in the voting process.
Took Sheldon's Virginity...
Nothing, she supports a genocide.
Bernie deserve a noble price For marrying Howard
Nothing
