The 10 Worst The Big Bang Theory Episodes

10. The Inspiration Deprivation (Season 12 Episode 19)

After hearing the news that she has a good chance of winning the Nobel Prize, Amy has a meltdown at the university. When she finally cools down, it turns out that she is feeling the pressure of what it would mean for a woman to win the prestigious award. Meanwhile, in a less series storyline, Howard and Raj find a scooter identical to the one they used to have when they were both young, single and hopeless at picking up girls.

Why it sucks: Season 12 is probably the most disappointing series of The Big Bang Theory and this episode perfectly epitomizes why. You can tell that the writers were just writing filler episodes as they crawled towards the grand finale. In this episode, Howard and Raj take a trip down memory lane when they find the scooter but any potential of Howard buying it goes out the window when Bernadette shuts it down and he realises he may have married his mother. Brilliant. They've been making that joke since season 5.

What didn't suck: Regina King and Joshua Malina's characters offer the only good jokes of this episode and their comedic deliveries are excellent.
