15 Similarities Between Friends And The Big Bang Theory

9. Lying

Friends: When Joey forgets to go to a work thing, he needs a lie. And fast. The only problem is he sucks at lying. The day prior he ate Phoebe€™s muffin, but claimed that €œsomebody opened the door to the coffee house and a raccoon came running in, went straight for your muffin and I said €˜Hey don€™t eat that-that€™s Phoebe€™s€™ and he said.. He said.. €˜Joey you stink at lying.€™ What am I going to do?€ His mode of lying is outlandish. The Big Bang Theory: But not as outlandish as Sheldon€™s. In order to fool Penny into thinking he and Leonard were out of town he creates an entire ruse about his cousin Leopold Houston who is addicted to drugs. Going so far as to hire an actor to play him, Sheldon€™s lie created one of the best episodes in the shows run. The Big Bang Theory did it better here: The Loobenfeld Decay is a classic in its own right.
