  • all of you are idiots...raj cant talk TO WOMEN...she wasnt in the convo at the time so he could speak...If pennny directed a question at him, then he couldnt talk. think about it

  • haha I didn't even notice it till then!!! funny!

  • Thinking way too much there

  • He obv had a beer on his way over :P

  • This is going to sound sooooooo boffy, but in one episode i noticed sheldon used gravity to 1 decimal place, when physicists use gravity to 2 decimal places, mathematicians use it to 1 decimal place. again, sorry, just pointing it out :L

  • @Warbmeister i thought it was the other way around

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, people are really taking this seriously. It's kinda funny.

  • this could or could not be just a simple writers mistake. In the beginning of the scene, they are standing in the hallway due to the fact that Howard has just raced across the hall to try and get lucky with Penny's 'whore' of a friend. During the rest of the clip, Raj only looks back once to see Sheldon blocking Penny from his view. He then focuses on the TV. He could have just simply thought Penny went over to kick Howard out. He does not talk again until Penny leaves, after Halo.

  • just trying to think as Raj would. No way would he have thought after the mention of Halo, would any woman want to stick around to watch. Then Penny offers to be a fourth, and he no longer says anything. In fact, after she talks, he is then sitting, probably sulking because he had spoken in front of her.

    But then again, it could just be a simple writers mistake. Needless, this is still an amazing show, and they do an amazing job, especially with some of the lines they have to say! hahaha!

  • Well what if raj was drunk then he could talk in front of women

  • i mean ahe was barley in the room!

  • raj said that before penny came in...

  • Raj CANNOT TALK IN FRONT OF WOMEN. He DID know Penny was there. Whoever made this was right lol

  • yeah, isn't it Raj can't talk TO women.... not that he can't talk WHEN women are around.

    

  • Get over it! They are AMAZING!

  • I agree that this is a mistake in the storyline, but why are you making such a big deal out of it? It's just a mistake that happens and it's not the fucking end of the world. The producers are human after all. Just let it go.

  • @Khaz2y5 Why are you making such a big deal about others' comments? They are just comments. Posters are just humans after all. Just let it go.

    This is YouTube, it's the place for fun little videos, precisly like this. It's where people can have silly debates.

    By the way, you ever watch Big Bang? This is the very type of thing that the characters might focus on during one of their conversations.

  • Maybe Raj had been drinking.

  • whats so funny.

  • @coolcheeseboy1 when girls are around raj cant talk and penny was in the room

  • wasnt it untill the 9th or 10th episode of season 1 that the characters got more detailed? In the first episodes sheldon only knocks once on the door, its not a mistake its just that the writers had not made all the details. Just my opinion tho. :)

  • @tshirttime84 yeah but in the pilot it was established that raj didnt talk around Penny. Season 1 is hard to watch though, with everyone being different

  • Stop pestering the poster, he's right, it's a mistake, when a woman is around, he can't talk, and it's not because she's not right next to him that he suddenly can talk, and he knew she was there. But his racist joke made more than up for it :D.

  • Comment removed

  • they make racist jokes all the time kunal is okay with it, so whats the problem

  • @Punkrockaddicted who gives a flying fuck if there is a plot hole, this is a sitcom, not the damn gospel, just watch the show and laugh :)

  • Okay either the mistake is that he is racist or sexist

  • He also talks in front of the girls without being drunk in one of the new episodes!

  • @abidatullah I thought the same, But if you look closely he is holding a beer in his hand.

  • @FlyingDonutz Yeah there is a beer actually on the table, even if he is holding a paddle, or controller ppl hate it when I say paddle.

  • Raj is mot facing Penny, when he entered the room Penny was outside. He never faced the door so he didn't know she was there. Thus why he spoke. No mistake there. Sorry.

  • The BIGGEST problem they've had in the show is Sheldon calling an initialism an acronym.

  • Why can't Raj speak to women without alcohol.

  • @revengemaster96 I'm guessing it's because of his intrusive and domineering parents.

  • @revengemaster96 Haven't you seen the show ?

  • o my god at first i didnt notice it and i wouldnt have noticed unless ssmirjalili hadnt mentioned it but wow !!!!!! still love the big bangon and i love sheldon

  • All TV shows have - sooner or later - occasional mistake in them, so what, we do love them anyway! :)

  • AND! How the hell can he talk to his sister and his mother??

  • @Potsey888 Because he grew up with them. A pathalogical fear of the opposite sex often does not include family members.

  • @Potsey888 -__________- its not like a real problem where he cant talk to any female. hes just nervous around girls that he could actually date.

  • The Script ,,umm ,Says so!!!!!!!!!!!! derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • He can talk when he doesn't realize they are there, it happens numerous times in the show which proves that its is 100% psychological.

  • @xXAgentIcemanXx if u had read the descreption u would not write that...

  • im pretty sure he can not talk when its at the girl ..... not just because shes in the room ..

  • @iCrofty no, the condition is called selective mutism.

  • I never would have noticed if it wasn't pointed out. Besides it was a quick attempt to defend himself directed,away from Penny, towards Leonard. If it really bothers you, you can all just assume that the comment was not really meant to be heard be anyone else in the room, but Leonard. It was just funnier for him to say it much louder.... Chill out people, the show is still awesome! :)

  • He was drinking before penny showed up at the door just saying

  • This is nothing. Very first ep. stated that Sheldon was "semi-pro" at masturbating which doesn't fit with his later characterization.

  • @Thelisen The producers has basically said we should ignore the first half of the first season. They hadn't quite developed the characters yet.

  • I think there's a can of beer on the table in between the bottles....

  • I don't get why people have to be so overly critical of everything.... so there was a slip up in the first season so what.... how is this ever relevant.... the show has been nominated for an emmy, and Jim Parsons won an Emmy and a Golden Globe. The show is good no matter if there was a mistake.

    p.s. I'm pretty sure they say in the first episode Raj can't talk "To" women.... not Raj can't talk "Around" women

  • @dwhite014 because there trolls ^^ so many trolls......

  • You win buddy..happy? Sleep tight

  • WTF ?????

  • Bazinga!

  • Your taking this show wayyyy to seriously.

  • he can speak when a women is there, as long as he doesn't know there there

  • it was the first season, they were still getting the characters down.

  • LAWL

  • i don't get it...

  • Get a life -- IT IS A TV show!!!!

  • if you look carefully, raj turns around before penny shows up, and he never look towards the door, only the screen, so he never knew penny was there!

  • XD thats hillarious! I can't believe I missed that! Nice call

  • @BloodyTrollop  Please let that be sarcasm.

  • @BloodyTrollop WHATS THE FUCKING MISTAKE????? I CANT SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING WRONG AT ALL?

  • Raj didn't know Penny was there...

  • @MJPETTY7 no

  • hasn't is spelt like this and not has'nt (made me laugh when i saw a mistake it the explination to the mistake) plus he doesnt need alcohol to speak to women as shown in the train episode and they were stressed at howard and got insulted so no one really paid attention. be like most people and just over look it lol

  • @katflek should you really correct peoples spelling mistakes when you make a terrible one of your own? It's spelt "explanation". We may be able to overlook shocking blunders in TV shows but there's no excuse when it comes to spelling.

  • @wsokar it's ok I'm dislexic (btw dislexic is a stupidly spelt word for what it means and you may find its an excuse for bad spelling lol) i knew something would be spelt wrong in my writing as there always is which made it more entertaining for me to think that so well done for finding it and i'll apologise now for any mistakes that may be here

  • How do you know Raj didn't have a slice of his infamous Rum cake on his way up the stairs??? And the Big bang Theory is Safe for another day.....

  • shouldn't the poster be more glad that Raj made some form of personal growth and be glad he was talking?

  • This was in the first season,.. so the characters had not been fully defined yet. I could point out other flaws and inconsistencies, but I just overlook them and enjoy the show.

  • who cares it's a show!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Omg! How haven't I noticed this?!

  • HEY! GUESS WHAT?!

    No one cares....

  • He dose not see her, but if you notice as soon as he does, he shuts up.

    HAVE A NICE DAY.

  • whats the name of the episode?

  • of course, Raj, is only talking in the same room as Penny, not actually to Penny :-)

  • He can talk if he doesn't know a woman is present!!

  • @ssmirjalili he does know

  • ummm, wait a second. this is NOT a mistake... He can't talk " TO " women. he was talking leonard. oh and also, relax, just a tv show.

  • OH MY GOD THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!!!!!!

  • Maybe he was really drunk, but didn't show it...

  • You are right ! He saw her and she was there and they sort of entered the apartment together and yet he talked.. It is really a mistake..but from the title and explanation you are taking it more serious than it deserves to be.

  • its cause he's not talking TO her so he's okay.

  • i really don't get it there's no mistake

  • @peeweefanful the mistake is that raj is talking by penny!!!! DUH!!!!!!!!! (he can only talk to girls when he is drunk)

  • @Hawks7722 oh...opps so in to the show i for got but he shuts up as soon as he see her

  • yeah i actually noticed that a while ago i was like whuttheefooook.

  • I was hoping someone got a clear enough shot of some of the equations and wanted to fix an error; or, maybe an incorrectly named or explained theory/law/postulate, but this is just Raj talking while Penny is still lagging into the apartment. I've known guys like Raj, that happens in real life, sometimes with a weird look on their face between 4 to 20 seconds later.

  • @thatonecommenter1 Isn't it kind of obvious from the description? Raj doesn't speak in front of women (according to the person who posted this video, at least; how debilitating his condition is when women are around but not the one being spoken for is up for debate). Yet here he speaks when Penny is in the room. That's all. The poster should really calm down.

  • noooo the mistake is Raj spoke infront of penny

  • he didnt see her before speaking

  • Penny was in the scene, it wasn't a mistake... Sheldon did not consider her a viable option... Does anybody watch this show.... Lol

  • @TheJoshbrister That's not the mistake they were referring to... read the description. Wow.

  • so i was told to read the description, and so i clicked 'show more'. saw a frickin essay and said, fuck it.

  • I don't see what the big deal is

  • isn't it completely obvious he never saw penny come in?

  • @thatonecommenter1 Raj isn't suppose to be able to talk in front of girls, and he just said something when Penny was right there.

  • small oversight for what turned into an epic series!!

  • OH MY GOD

  • 1 on 1

  • There's plenty of these mistakes in the series. In the Bar Jar Conjecture, in the final scene, for example, Leonard is sitting in Sheldons spot and vice versa, and Sheldon just rolls with it.

  • @ScienceFictionHairdo And then he gives Leonard a high five, something he's strongly against :P

  • wow big deal.....

  • wow big deal.....

  • Maybe Raj was already pissed?

  • Woopty doo! They made a boo boo! Let's go on wth our lives please

  • Raj spoke when Penny was in the room. LOL

  • Shit have a kiwi and relax!

  • yeh but if u look on the table theres a bottol of beer in which raj finds out in one episode that he can only talk to wowmen when had consumed alchahol

  • If you watch where he's looking, he's never looking at her and thus might not have known she was there. She doesn't talk to get his attention until after he speaks so there really is no breach in anything since he wouldn't have noticed she was there until she spoke.

  • Sigh.

  • so what a mistake, that doesnt make the series any less greater than it is!!

  • the mistake was watching this video

  • he didn't see her right away so he talked, just like in later episodes, in example when they go to a conference as a group raj talks to Leonard in his hotel room because the lights are off he doesn't realize penny's there and when he finds out penny's in the room he is quite again.

  • this is the worst show... it's not even funny and they tell you when you're supposed to laugh. FACEPALM.

  • @ivanxdxd2008 I still love the show. Gotta consider that Sheldon is one of the best sitcom-characters ever written. And their comradery offstage shines through in the episodes, so that makes it very enjoyable and cozy to watch... That being said.. I fucking HATE the fact that the audience laugh after almost every god damned sentence! It's absurd

  • that's what i realised too in this episode. .. i just thought he didn't see her but well it's not that big of a mistake

  • How can I man go geeker and nerder than THIS..

  • I agree. Little mess up.

  • I agree with the video poster. Raj's fear is speaking in front of women and he spoke in front of Penny. He whispers into Walowitz's ear most of the time if there is a woman around. Raj KNEW that Penny was right outside the door. After all, she WAS in fact hanging out with them (it's pretty clear in the clip). All these excuses people are making for Raj, are just lame excuses. They messed up, deal with it. I don't see why it's such a big deal that they made a mistake.

  • First of all - it's not the producer's "mistake" - it's a mistake in that case made by the director. The producer does not handle the scenes, genius. Second - this makes no sense. Raj isn't talking directly to her in that way. I know how shy guys like this works in real life - and it's authentic here. So stop with your bullshit, kid.

  • dude relax eh?

  • @thewarmth13 man, you're angry....

  • @thewarmth13 then what are you doing watching this video

  • @thewarmth13 its sad that these show have more fans than you ;)

  • maybe Raj is drunk... ;)

  • In Season 1 Episode 13, he says 'good story' to penny.

  • @joecaine96 ya but they address this-->he covers his mouth in shock

  • Repeat to yourself:

    "It's just a show. I should really just relax."

  • why did they just not play free fore alll?

  • Jesus christ ... do you people ever watch a show just for fun these days? Whats the point of going detective over simple things

  • Comment removed

  • How about just enjoying the program?

    There are continuity errors in pretty much every sitcom...

    Big deal..

  • I sometimes forget women are in the room when I'm gaming...

  • I love Sheldon's "Nooooo"

  • What's the mistake?

  • Who gives a crap, its a funny show, what does it matter.

  • whats ur point? people make mistakes

  • Waht episode, season ?

  • He didn't know she came in...duh

  • even if he did know she was behind him...the thing is he cant talk directly to woman...he can talk if hes looking at someone who is not a woman when a woman is in the room...i think lol

  • He didn't know Penny was behind.

  • also in the scene where they explain superman, he chimes in on the answer too "whats the one with lois lane falling out of a plan....etc"

  • so what?

  • I like turtles

  • @RHBRoberts i love you! hahahaha :D

  • Yes this is a mistake but I like that "billion more foreigners" joke even if it means plot hole.

  • @Zeratassadar I agree. The line is funny so, who cares.

    This has been brought up before, and I watched the scene thoroughly. As the guys come back into the apartment, Penny lingers in the hall a little longer; Raj's back is to her while he gets back into the game; . He started talking on impulse forgetting Penny was around - A natural human instinct.

    But, again the line is good and funny. So, mistake or not I don't care.

    I love The Big Bang theory, and its entire cast so much!

  • 1. It's the only way they could float the "billion extra foreigners" joke.

    2. Big deal, get a life lol.

  • As stated in most of the episodes mentioning this fear, he can openly talk infront of women, which he does on multiple occasions, but he cannot speak to the directly......they mention it in almost every episode how is that hard to understand >....>

  • @heartlessshadow16 The only thing they state is that he can talk in front of women when they are mixed in with a crowd, otherwise he is not able to talk to or in front of a girl unless he is drunk, drugged or whatever next, (I'll leave that for produces to decide). Just read the description. Many of you are right, he might have forgotten about Penny for a second, or didn't see her coming in (unlikely, remember her friend 'stole' her apartment) but I think it's a bit far-fetched: Small blooper ;)

  • @Punkrockaddicted Bro, there are plenty of episodes where he talks INFRONT of penny, but not directly to her. He'll talk to howard or leonard openly, but whisper in their ear when he wants to direct his talking to involve penny in the conversation.

  • @Punkrockaddicted you are absolutely right they should cancel the show and give the advertisers their money back and pay everyone who watched their cable subscriptions for the time the show ran...and parsons should give his emmy back

  • @americanu197 YEAH!!!!! (a'la Jay & Silent Bob)

  • @Punkrockaddicted I've actually noticed that he has done on this numerous occasions, but, like heartless said, it's never DIRECTLY to the woman. He has spoken in front of Penny, Sheldon's mom, Bernadette, and Amy openly, but, never to them. As soon as he has to speak to them, he whispers in Howard's ear...hmmm, I need to go back and watch the DVD's again, lol

  • @Punkrockaddicted

    your a moron

  • @Punkrockaddicted He's always talked in front of Penny, by whispering into one of the guys' ears. It's always been a problem for him to do it directly. She was also outside of the apartment when he talked.

  • @Punkrockaddicted As this is a flaw in the plot of raj's persona there's always predicted storyline that is to be assumed and not acted out for example it may be that he is drunk

  • @Punkrockaddicted Sad to say that I noticed this little whoopsie when watching it too. But hey, it's an amazing show and this was the first season. They do a lot to get details right and I think we can cut them a break every now and then.

    Btw, to add to your case, in S3E04, Raj is unsure of whether he can talk or not while Penny is outside the door (not even visible). And I'm pretty sure that some of the things in that Halo game are inaccurate. But again, who the hell cares?

  • @Punkrockaddicted To be fair, his back is to her.

  • he saw penny, cuz they all entered the room together.he saw her in the hall after entering
