15 Similarities Between Friends And The Big Bang Theory
11. "That's My Spot"
Friends: Joeys barcalounger - so affectionately held that it was a name - must not be moved: It is the exact equal distance from the bathroom to the kitchen and it's at the perfect angle so you don't get any glare coming off of Stevie , he tells Rachel. The Big Bang Theory: Placed in eternal dibs, Sheldon specifies that: In the winter, that seat is close enough to the radiator to remain warm, and yet not so close as to cause perspiration. In the summer, it's directly in the path of a cross-breeze created by opening windows there and there. It faces the television at an angle that is neither direct, thus discouraging conversation, nor so far wide as to create a parallax distortion. I could go on. Whilst Friends did it first, The Big Bang Theory trumps it in every single way. Sheldons spot is just one of the many recurring jokes fans still laugh over today; appearing in the very first episode of The Big Bang Theory, this joke is perhaps the most well known of the show. Friends, on the other hand, only featured Joeys explanation for not moving Rosita once. It didn't become a classic.
