The Big Bang Theory Firefly Cancelation Joke

[Victory04]

I love TBBT. Usually I get every single reference. I play the games, watched the shows... Except for the Firefly. There are at least three of them in TBBT. 1) In the flashback episode Sheldon mentions Firefly is so great, he sees no reason why it wouldn't last for years. 2) The episode they meet Summer on the train. 3) This one here. Thank you, IrishFireflyFan :) Anyway, I knew I HAD to watch it. So I did, on Netflix. And now I understand. Firefly is the greatest show there ever was! <3

[Insaneagram]

Darth Vader wasn't really that evil, he was good, he lost his way, and then he was good again... (there's always one character like that in an epic storyline lol...)

[XXCreed]

@Insaneagram Dude, he slaughtered children, that's pretty evil.

[yadaroni]

They did reference firefly when they met summer. Rogesh (sorry for misspell) said that she was actually in space when she was on firefly.

[yadaroni]

This would be a great time to restate firefly. Allot of people watched it after it was cancelled and would watch it if they tried again. Anyway with a shedon endorsement who could argue

[cobra888]

At least Darth Vader repents and joins the light side again. Murdoch...still pending.

[JackofBlades47]

maybe firefly(with other actors) returns someday....i say one decade an TV is so full of trash that people are crying out for some real sci fy

[owlsneedlove]

murdoch will pay for the act he did

[WailingHowl]

If I ever see Murdoch I will so hurt him. Cancel his favorite show, maybe.

[thepouge1]

"Shiny, let's be bad guys" and wip Murdoch's ass...

[Cutlesnap]

What did Darth Vader do that ties him with Murdoch?

[cookrealfood]

Im in love with sheldon

[wvboarder2005]

This scene just made my day. Murdoch was so stupid for cancelling firefly. I think it was ahead of its time.

[kaaatable]

Lenard suddenly, but inevitably betrayed Sheldon.

[darkroselight]

Most people look for monsters under their beds, Murdoch better watch out for Brown Coats.

[CArrigoProductions]

He belongs in that special hell, reserved for child molesters and people who talk in the theater.

[munkymp3]

BRING BACK FIREFLY!

[dreamwolfie]

@BlimeyGames the fund is still going, slowly but surely getting there

[SarahAndreaRoyce]

After two references to Firefly that reveal that Sheldon is a big fan and Leonard at least liked it its a bit annoying, that when they meet Summer Glau in the train, they only reference her role as the terminator from Sarah Connor Chronicles.

[AnteyPL]

@SarahAndreaRoyce

You are so wrong ! Raj just mentioned that she lived in a spaceship, just before calling "geeks" "crazy people". And - YES - TRAIN itself was reference to Firefly episode Train Job !

[calpaycetin]

@SarahAndreaRoyce this is just poor writers

[whatthefuck386]

so.... firefly/serenity prequal out of the question?

[BlimeyGames]

@whatthefuck386 I think Natan Fillion is looking to put funds together to buy the rights so he can start it up again, but not sure how that's going.

[StaraziaSelin66]

nah, Murdoch was more evil than even Leonard....

[marksman1242]

Not quite what I was expecting, but I still like it because its Big Bang Theory + Firefly

[shane8109]

Yes a firefly reference even though it's been gone a while

[Taccom54]

Fucking Murdock!

Ah well, theirs a rumor going around that if Josh Weadon manages to pull off Serenity 2 they might start up Firefly...

[llg193]

Rupert Murdoch is going to burn in a very special level of Hell

[Joshb81959]

@llg193 The level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk in the theater?

[shellbell1313ss]

Yeah Sheldon!

[vandal420]

Sheldon 1, Fox 0

[PixellatedRunner]

He forgot the gorram Reavers.

[liz3737]

I have the entire series of Firefly and the movie serenity!!! I can't believe they canceled this show!!! I watch Castle for MEL!!!

[bcta302]

@liz3737

It's actually Mal, not "Mel" lol

[StuartTheGamerNerd]

thank God Murdoch doesn't have Long to live...its 80....WON'T BE LONG BEFORE GOOD SCIENCE FICTION CAN LIVE AGAIN!!!

[patty1947]

isn't this show aired on FOX though? i'm surprised they can make these jokes and not upset someone at the network. also, fuuuuuck you Rupert Murdoch.

[echoingheads]

@patty1947 This show is not nearly as bad as the jokes family guy have been able to get away with. Futureama also slagged them off saying that the 'Box' corporation is run by retards.

[PSshadow92]

I will bet money Rupert Murdoch punches himself in the face every night when he remembers that he cancelled Firefly, and how much profit he lost with that move.

[Megasmiley4321]

What episode is this from?

[Ruach]

At least Vader made up for it...

[Mrsbluebliss]

love BBT even more

[SouthernRiprey]

CGI streets galore~!

[lynn242424]

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!! But he is totally above Darth Vader man!

[suicidetru7h]

GOD FUCKING RUPERT MURDOCH, CUM SUCKING WHORE.

WANTS PEOPLE TO PAY FOR NEWS ON THE INTERNET!!!

AND HE CANCELED " FireFly "

[Grenerd22]

LOL preach brother preach.

[fakjbf]

murdoch canceled firfly yes, but WHEDON KILLED WASH!

[ItsSomeDeadGuy]

@fakjbf FUCKING THIS.

[71sat440]

Firefly was one of the best sic fi series ever.

[PORTUGAL79]

i will be honest...i am a geek and i do not like Big Bang Theory...why is that in it's whatever season and the beloved Firefly cancelled after one season...it breaks my heart still

[ItsSomeDeadGuy]

@PORTUGAL79 If you're a self-proclaimed geek and you don't like Big Bang Theory, you're not much of a proper geek, are you?

[nisteven]

@ItsSomeDeadGuy Sorry but none geeks like it better then geeks a lot of the time.

Because it makes a lot of mistakes in area's about geeks.

Which normal people find funny, but it annoys some geeks.

[JBfromOH]

thank you murdoch! :D

[Slomoshun09]

I could put ground glass in Murdoch's food and slowly watch him die and feel nothing.

[MrPatheticUsername]

Robert Murdoch will burn in a, "special hell" reserved for child molesters and the like.

[strwbryblue1]

ouch the firefly remark stings a little. well actually the episode where they became room mates and sheldon said may as well set the t.v schedual in stone it's going to be on for a real long time stung worse.

[Shadowsmiter1]

The days of Rupert Murdoch not being taken seriously have certainly come to a middle.

[feathertopDT]

If i see Murdoch on the street.. I swear by my pretty flora bonnet i will end him

[voicetube]

@feathertopDT  LO f**kin' L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MRxTAK]

@feathertopDT god i wanna hug you for that one!

[MrsJungByungHee]

@feathertopDT your comment just made me laugh out loud, that never happens

[ThunderSpartan117]

@feathertopDT And FOX will have themselves a powerful ugly creature.

[xXShrinkWrapXx]

@feathertopDT with a gun... politely?

[Joshua5003]

@feathertopDT Oh, I love that reference! Just saw that episode today.

[ThisisAliFareedshow]

@feathertopDT I shall be the 364 THUMB 

[feathertopDT]

He forgot the Allosaurus that suddenly but inevitably betrayed Washes Stegosaurus

[Magnesiumize]

CURSE YOU RUPERT MURDOCH... YOU CANCELED TERMINATOR SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES

[xheavensxfuryx]

I agree with Sheldon

[hellterminator]

Well I don't think Darth Vader's betrayal was so bad. Well it was - he betrayed the whole empire - but it was for good reasons.

[nikanj]

I'd be surprised if Rupert even knew Firefly existed when it was cancelled.

[jamesloom]

The ability to intercept calls is insignificant next to the power of controlling information.

[blackknightkanos]

"You're right. Judas had the decency to hang himself" Hahahaha I laughed

[FLYOATH]

what episode is this?

[DestinysNinja]

Ni ta ma de, Rupert Murdoch. Piece of go se.

[Lilalama]

There is no bigger betrayer then Rupert Murdoch...

On the other hand he gave us on of the best sifi series ever...

AHAHH RUPERT WHAT HAVE U DONE AAA

[gigimc]

yeayyy Firefly! Joss must have LOVED that!

[kris48267]

bring back firefly theys still a large as gap between the show and the movie

[pastramiinator]

WTF Rupert Murdoch is number TWO!!!!! -_-

[SuperBluerose44]

they need to bring firefly back. even though serenity wrapped up some loose ends, there's still so much to know!!

[randomface54]

@SuperBluerose44 Yeah, we need to know Book's backstory and how Wash survived that harpoon to the chest. HE'S NOT DEAD MOTHERFUCKERS!

[nobodyman99]

@randomface54 Nah, he's very much dead. Alan Tudyk wanted it that way.

On the other hand, Book's backstory is revealed in The Shepherd's Tale. :P

[randomface54]

@nobodyman99 Really, he wanted Wash to be randomly and pointlessly killed off and then have his death overshadowed by the massive fights between the crew and the Reavers and Mal and the Operative. The only death of a major character that was worse that Wash's was Jadzia Dax's in Star trek DS9.

[SatensL0veChild]

@randomface54 no he's dead, read the "float out" comic, his friends buy and name a ship in his honour. BUT zoe is pregnant with his daughter ^^

[souske25]

but darth vader redeems himself. rupert murdok doesnt do shit.

[caboose555666777]

yes murdoch is a very bad man

[purplebananafish]

To be fair, I doubt it was Murdoch's decision to cancel Firefly. The decision was proberly made by some random executives.

[xxxslash616xxx]

Rupert Murdoch is currently in hiding. He knows that if he emerges River Tam will kill him with her brain.



[Panthiest]

Rupert Murdoch I will not brake if I see you crossing the street!

[OmNomOnSouls]

@AWickedMind you realize that no other network in the states would have run such a risky show, right? You should be thanking FOX for the fact that the show even saw the light of day. They cancelled it when they realized it wasn't going to give them the financial return that other shows could offer. Welcome to the world of television.

[TennantJunkie1993]

I knew it was something Murdoch. I also knew he canceled Firefly. Ooh, I just thought of a fire Rupert rally. Then, Sheldon will get to possibly meet DT. EEEKKK!!!

[BuffyTheSlayer14]

So he canceled Firefly AND Dollhouse??? Someone assassinate this man!

[nikku9000]

Fun fact. TOS star trek was over budget and only lasted 3 seasons. The last two had to be fought for tooth and nail. Still had god awful ratings and look at it now. 5 shows 11 movies. Just look at the fan love for firefly and say it couldnt have been a new star trek?

[achal20mittal]

I am damn sure that it was sheldon disguised as the fat man who threw the pie at murdoch during murdoch's hearing.

[TheDarthHarrison]

Robert Murdoch is going to "the special hell"

[BuffyTheSlayer14]

@TheDarthHarrison No, He doesn't deserve to be in Mal's presence.

[koreanhottie43110]

firefly deservered another season atleast

bastards

[xigdix]

@koreanhottie43110 i did read somewhere that whedon had designed the show to run for seven years. just imagine that, seven years of firefly.

[kless001]

@xigdix seven years of firefly..!!!??!!  Too much shinny to handle:)

[26spm]

@xigdix that would have been so f-in cool!were did u hear that? that just makes me even more sad now i hav watched it all the way thru!

[SuperBluerose44]

@koreanhottie43110 Firefly deserved AT LEAST a whole first season X-(

[randomface54]

What the hell is he on about? Murdoch was by far a more evil, treacherous bastard than Darth Vader.

[BlueDemonofFire]

@randomface54 Well, technically Vader killed some children before putting on the classic suit, so it's a close call. Still, based on my own rather outright biased opinion and this six-gun I've gotten just for this sort of occasion..Murdoch is the bigger bastard and more tempting target.

[randomface54]

@BlueDemonofFire What Vader did was justified, a man can only be called "Annie" so many times. But there is no justification for cancelling Firefly, it is just too damn pretty for God to let it die.

[fire2box]

@randomface54 I think you mean Darth Sidious.

[randomface54]

@fire2box No, Vader was Anikin Skywalker which everyone kept shortening to "Annie", as a result he went crazy and killed a load of people. Not the best reason for killing but a damn sight better than any reason Murdoch had for cancelling Firefly.

[fire2box]

@randomface54 I mean darth sidoius is truly evil. vader still had goodness in him.

[131313pie]

@randomface54 RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!???????????

[Nephtys1]

you can´t just put all hate for firefly´s cancellation on Murdoch. That´s just not fair.

He´s an old guy. He maybe doesn´t have many more years to live...

the world should concentrate their hatred more towards the abstract being of FOX as it is... it will remain in this world much longer than Murdoch :D

[Browncoatt22]

@Nephtys1 I can't punch the abstract being of Fox in it's old man wrinkly testicles though can I? ;)

[mjmanning123]

this shows sucks



[SmileLikeStudios]

@mjmanning123

*This (you forgot to write it in capital letters)

*show (not shows, you are talking about one show)

*And you forgot the punctuation at the end of this sentence.

[randomovertone]

Who watches this. It makes fun of nerds and is aimed at nerds. They cancelled firefly for this crap?

[kiyoskedante]

@randomovertone A decade later. Execs cancelled Firefly for its high budget and low initial ratings.

Not to mention this is a different cable network.

[HawkGTboy]

I really really wish that they'd ditch the laugh track on sitcoms. It's so godmamned annoying.

[tehBLAX]

Sad when other shows have to point out what a bad mistake cancelling firefly was lol

[horaciosi]

Next traitor: Marvel Studios, they replaced the five writers of Iron Man with a douchebag to write the sequel.

Sorry for my shitty english

[MrCure4]

Sheldon has it all wrong, it was Tom Rothman who canceled Firefly.

[xNitracex]

I gained so much more respect for Sheldon after this :D

[Zoopyjoe]

He should go into the special kind of hell..The one for child molesters and people who watch eiken.And also the special kind of hell shows Never Say Never 24/7 and satan bitch slaps everyone every 5 minutes and rupert murdoch gets a kick in the crotch every time he thinks about firefly's cancelling being a good idea

[Temuldjin]

I'm an atheist... and i think of the idea of hell as one of the worst things we humans have ever evented (the idea, its not real) but what im trying to say is this...

if there ever was a person who was so evil he or she should be tortured in hell forever, it should be Rupert Murdoch!

[Alexc3217]

I'd forgive Rupert Murdoch for everything if he somehow brought back Firefly.

[ajmendoza87]

rupert murdoch... curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

[DestinysNinja]

@ajmendoza87 Rawrrrrr ohhh dear god no!

[SickBritKid]

@ajmendoza87

Rupert Murdoch doesn't run the Fox broadcast channel...

[Slomoshun09]

@SickBritKid He owns Fox...

[SickBritKid]

@Slomoshun09

Yeah, but he doesn't RUN Fox.

He's too busy running NewCorp and its various branches(or getting interrogated by the British Parliament) to run the broadcast branch.

[nuRLE]

rupert murdoch actually deserves to die!

[GOOJAJ]

Thought he only owned Fox News.

[HordrissTheConfuser]

@GOOJAJ He owns everything.

Most UK national papers, SKY. He's looking to buy up a majority share in bskyb now. I reckon the tower of London should reopen it's lowest dungeon.

[GOOJAJ]

@HordrissTheConfuser wow, i guess he found away around the U.S monopoly laws. 

[HordrissTheConfuser]

@GOOJAJ He's not the only media provider, but he has fingers in many pies, so to speak.

His influence on the British media is quite strong, because his different newspapers cater to very different people. My personal opinion is that he has set himself up as a kingmaker of sorts; everyone who wants to get to the top in politics had meetings with him.

[Rimji11]

Huh, looks like Rupert Murdoch's getting his comeuppance now, eh?

[realdad32]

15 purple belly pigs saw this vid and do not approve.

[Book124worm]

why Darth Vader?:? Anakin was AWESOME!!

[TeamAnimeNexus]

@Book124worm: because he betrayel the jedis to join the sith's

[Book124worm]

@TeamAnimeNexus HE DID THAT BECAUSE HE WAS FOOLED!! D.SIDIOUS TOLD HIM HE COULD PROTECT PADME BY TURNING TO THE SITH!!!

[TeamAnimeNexus]

@Book124worm: yes fooled by still a traitor by joining them

[Book124worm]

@TeamAnimeNexus I find it's not being a traitor if he did it in the right mind but the wrong way... also he turned good before he died

[TheKYLEdavid]

65,000th viewer

[AWickedMind]

I wonder if Rupert Murdoch just gets random glares on the street every day and people "accidently" spilling things on him and bumping into him. He probably brings all his hate mail to his therapist every week.

[HawreKaka]

@AWickedMind no too his the rapist

[DestinysNinja]

@AWickedMind He probably gets a whole bunch of people swearing at him in Chinese..

[Naverpace]

@AWickedMind if i saw him on the streets i would accidentally shoot him in the head at point blank range.

[AWickedMind]

@Naverpace I would too, but with a water gun, filled with something other than water, 'cause I don't like prison.

[SuspenseSmith]

I don't know... Rupert Murdoch was worse than Judas and should hang himself for what he did to Firefly.

[ChelseatheHolmesian]

I just became a fan of Firefly so now I get this joke. WHYYY did they cancel Firefly!???

[Mrpin300]

Rupert Murdoch just became my will wheaton!..............MMMMMMMM­MMUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDD­DDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCCHHH­HHHHHHHHH!!!!

[spacecowboy5000]

@Mrpin300 In all fairness, Will turned out okay. He still shows up to sci-fi conventions, does comedy and wrote a couple of funny books. He even jokes about *ack!* Wesley.

[santiagoeag]

i think its good that tv shows are showing their support to firefly, but big bang theory sucks pretty hard

[chance793]

Rupert Murdoch canceled Firefly AND TSCC !!!

[Stargate949]

I was so upset!!! If I ever meet Ruper Murdoch I will hold him hostage until he restarts firefly(before Serenity) and then I will shove him in a room full of mirrors and pictures of reavers, complete with sound effects. Somehow, I don't think of this as an over reaction...

[fresh3456]

If I ever see Ruper Murdoch I will punch him in the face for everyone watching this video...

[SEABEESURFER]

Murdoch's going to that special hell.

[pimnas]

@SEABEESURFER for child molesters and people that talk in theaters

[SEABEESURFER]

@pimnas

exactly

[mikeysrose]

I laughed my butt off and whooped for Sheldon when I first saw this scene. I even used the quote in my mass media class when we were talking about Murdoch. Bastard.

[laceypaigedesmond]

BWAHAHAH!!! YESSSSSSS!!! that was great :P teehee

[IdeasComingSoon]

Murdoch should be raped to death by reavers, have his flesh eaten by them, and have his skin sewn onto their clothing, and not specifically in that order.

[QuanKaraya]

Why Murdoch for #2?

[SulliMike241]

DAMN YOU MURDOCH!!!!

[mev186]

Rupert Murdoch should be sent to a "special" place..

[DrHavoc1]

@mev186 A very special hell XD

[RamHornBeast]

Swill like Big Band Theory doesn't get to talk about pure gold like Firefly.
