Episode 18 – The Pants Alternative (318)
Sheldon’s friends come to his aid when his fear of public speaking stands between him and a coveted award. They offer to be Sheldon’s X-Men, which Sheldon changes to his “C-Men” because his last name is Cooper. Leonard will help Sheldon psychologically, Penny will shop for a suit with him, and Raj will help with “some kind of Indian meditation crap” according to Howard. When it’s time for the speech, Sheldon feels faint, so Penny gives him alcohol, and Sheldon, drunk and behaving like a stereotypical stage comedian, gives a speech that gets put on YouTube under the title “Physicist Melts Down”.
The song Sheldon sings at the ceremony is the song “The Elements” by Tom Lehrer.
Directed by Mark Cendrowski.
Written by Eric Kaplan, Richard Rosenstock & Jim Reynolds based on a story by Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady & Steve Holland.
Originally aired on March 22, 2010.
