I’ve always wondered exactly what The Big Bang Theory‘s Bernadette saw in Howard. I don’t want to dump all over the guy – his friends certainly did enough of that at his bachelor party – but I’ve always wondered “why.” And this was before I knew of his and Raj’s sorted past. It is almost amazing how much Bernadette is able to look past Howard’s dishonesty and the fact that the video listing of his transgression is the latest YouTube hit. His apology was good – surprisingly so – but was it really that good?
Also, a question for you to discuss amongst yourselves: Who is the worst wedding party member: Raj as Best Man or Amy as Maid of Honor?
Here were some of my favorite quotes from “The Stag Convergence:”
“You don’t want strippers? You’re the king of strippers! That one club in North Hollywood named a poll after you.” – Raj
“Maybe we can go up to Napa Valley; they have that wine train.” – Raj
“Boo: Wine … but Yay! Trains. I’m in.” – Sheldon
“Anyway … it’s a beautiful time of year. You travel through the vineyards, there’s a tasting onboard and all the wild flowers are in bloom. It’s magic.” – Raj
“Look at that, in 30 seconds we went from hiring women to being them.” – Leonard
“What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done with a woman? And the time we had sex in the ocean doesn’t count.” – Penny
“Oh c’mon that’s gotta count. There was a really strong undertow we could have died!” – Howard
“Hey guys.” — Wil Weaton
“Oh hey Wil, nice of you to make it out tonight for Howard.” – Leonard
“Well it was either this or another hot tub party at George Takei’s.” – Wil Wheaton
“This is Maid of Honor Amy Farrah-Fowler to bring you the wedding activities just weeks out from the big day. Let’s check in with the beautiful, radiant young woman and her friend who’s about to get married.” – Amy
“I’ve actually been thinking I’m going to hyphenate: Bernadette Maryann Rostenkowski-Wolowitz.” – Bernadette
“Nice. You know you should totally get bernadettemaryannrostenkowskiwolowitz.com before somebody snatches it up.” – Penny
“Howard already took care of it. Plus he set up our beautiful wedding website with cute little facts about our family histories. Did you know for a while, in Poland, his family and my family were neighbors.” – Bernadette
“Aww, that’s cool.” – Penny
“No it’s not. I’ll fill you in later.” – Amy
“Kidding aside, Howard: you are a good friend, and I wish you nothing but happiness. Bazinga, I don’t! Double-Bazinga, I do!” – Sheldon
“Oh what about the big girl in the Sailor Moon costume at Comic-Con?” — Raj
“Don’t remember, please sit down” — Howard
“The only threesome I had in my entire life, and I’m proud to say it was with this man right here! Oh, don’t get me wrong, nothing happened with me and Howard. There was about 200lbs of Sailor Moon between us!” – Raj
“[Filming with his phone] Oh, Internet, this is so going all over you.” – Wil
“You lied to me. You said you told me about all the girls you’ve been with, but you never mentioned your cousin, the prostate or Raj!” – Bernadette
“I’m curious, what’s bothering you most? The borderline incest, the prostitute or group sex with a girl dressed as the children’s cartoon character?” — Amy
“Amy, remember when we went over things that would be helpful and things that wouldn’t?” — Penny
“Right. And that was ….?” – Amy
“Not.” – Penny
“Oh my god, Howard! That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard … and it came out of you!” – Penny
Howard already took are of it. Plus he set up our beautiful wedding website with cute little facts about our family histories. Did you know for a while, in Poland, his family and my family were neighbors.” – Bernadette
“Aww, that’s cool.” – Penny
“No it’s not. I’ll fill you in later.” – Amy
What does Amy mean? This conversation went right over my head.

Cheryl: I’m with Dave below in assuming it was a WWII reference.
A german-jewsih thing not a polish-jewish thing. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure there was persecution of jewish people by Polish citizens but to make it seem as if all the persecution was done by them is shameful.
It’s an ignorant comment insinuating that somehow Poles were responsible for mass killing of Jews during World War II. What makes it worse is that over 6 million Poles (half of which were Jewish) were killed during WWII. While there were random killings of Jews by collaborators in Poland (including Jewish collaborators) as there were in all of Europe during WWII, Polish citizens have the world’s highest count of individuals awarded medals of Righteous among the Nations, given by the State of Israel to non-Jews who saved Jews from extermination during the Holocaust.

im gonna guess it has something to do with a “german / jew” issue from the second world war.
Of course. Thanks for your reply! :)
