Ladies and gentlemen… honoured daughters… while Mr. Kim by virtue of his youth and naivete has fallen prey to the inexcplicable need for human contact, let me assure you that my research will go on uninterrupted.
And that social relationships will continue to baffle and repulse me.
- Dr. Sheldon Cooper, The Jerusalem Duality,
The Big Bang Theory
Never seen the show, but now I *like* that guy!
You think he’d take me on as one of his bafflingly repulsive social connections?
I think he’d find your comprehension of sarcasm, irony and social conventions a bit unnerving : P
Sheldon is amazin, and is the best thing about the show. In an absurd way, he’s The Big Bang Theory’s equivalent of Barney : )
I have a similar thing going for Ted Denson’s character on “Bored to Death”. That’s a much more low-key comedy-show than most straight-forward sitcoms, but his character is just such an unbelievably lovely mixture of elitist and childish, educated and shallow, chauvinistic and open-minded, he continues to surprise and baffle me while making me grin and chuckle. (He’s the main character’s friend, editor and partial mentor-figure)
