The 10 Worst The Big Bang Theory Episodes

3. The Champagne Reflection (Season 8 Episode 10)

The big Bang Theory Sheldon
CBS

Howard, Raj and Leonard are tasked with clearing out the apartment of a recently deceased university professor, Bernadette comes to terms with the fact that she might be a bully and Sheldon and Amy call it a day on their web series Fun With Flags.

Why it sucks: This episode ambitiously took on some heavy subject matters: death, bullying and Sheldon coming to terms with his show ending and the narratives, for the most part are written well. The big problem is, that considering the emotional weight of these subjects, you expect there to be some sort of revelation in each storyline but there just isn't. Instead, the message just seems to get dropped and replaced with cheap punchlines. Also, the fact that Bernadette makes fun of a disabled person isn't great.

What didn't suck: Fun With Flags was the best running gag the show had to offer and it was sad to see it end. The final episode itself was hilarious and the montage was really well done too. Also, it's always good to see LeVar Burton who was back as a special guest on Fun With Flags.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
