Sex & hookups 6 moments
How Sex & hookups shows up in The Big Bang Theory S6 E12:
- Sheldon
Well, that’s not acceptable. I mean, I’m her boss. She needs to be solely focused on my needs, not distracted by your pasty, androgynous brand of sexuality.
- Sheldon
You don’t know? Oh, you poor dear. Your ovaries are squirting so much goofy juice into your brains you don’t even know which way is up. You made an inappropriate sexual advance towards Dr. Hofstadter.
- Alex
What? I didn’t make a sexual advance on anybody.
- Sheldon
But during the work day, when you feel possessed by amorous intent, may I suggest that you suppress it by leafing through this illustrated book of sexually transmitted diseases?
- Raj
I feel like I’ve been called down to the principal’s office. Although I wouldn’t mind if Brown Sugar suspended me. From a sex swing. This may have been a mistake.
- Raj
Howard built a sex robot.
Nudity & bodies 2 moments
How Nudity & bodies shows up in The Big Bang Theory S6 E12:

Did it have six breasts?
- Howard
I’m sorry, I’m a feminist, I don’t notice things like how many breasts a robot has.
Affairs / cheating 1 moment
How Affairs / cheating shows up in The Big Bang Theory S6 E12:
- Bernadette
I’m sure you’ve got nothing to worry about. Leonard would never cheat on you.
Swearing 3 moments
How Swearing shows up in The Big Bang Theory S6 E12:
- Penny
I don’t care about Alex. Fine, I care. Okay, I hate that bitch. But what really hurt is that you liked it so much. I mean, do I need to be worried?
- Penny
Wait, what the hell’s going on with Leonard and Alex?
- Penny
Oh, damn it, you are.
Alcohol & drugs 1 moment
How Alcohol & drugs shows up in The Big Bang Theory S6 E12:
- Amy
She’s right. But say the word, I got a lab full of cocaine-addicted monkeys with nothing to lose. One of them could end up in the backseat of her car. Or her shower.
Racism & slurs 1 moment
How Racism & slurs shows up in The Big Bang Theory S6 E12:
- Sheldon
Yes. No, yeah, but in his defense, that wasn’t racist. He’s also brown.
