Sheldon is one of the most fascinating characters in tv history. He was funny, charming and likable…..yet also an ahole, selfish, childish, and occasionally EXTREMELY unlikable.

He was the breakout character…..yet in many ways also the worst character.

He had character development…..that would often be reset the very next episode.

He CONSTANTLY needed to get his way…..and often would at the cost of the show and other characters.

Basically, Sheldon is an anomaly

I definitely was able to relate to Sheldon when the apartment was broken into. Having lived through that myself when I was just 11, its a scary experience. It makes you feel violated and unsafe in your own home. I did feel bad for him in that episode. Especially when he immediately got robbed in Boseman, poor guy couldn't catch a break.

The one time I truly felt sorry for Sheldon was when Amy dumped him before he could propose. But at least we got a better proposal later on.

I think Penny is like a big sister to Sheldon. He can't live with her, can't live without her.

[seandelap]

It's incredible when you watch the original pilot just how different Sheldon was as a character.

[purplecatangel]

Sheldon dressing up as a French maid on Howard’s orders because Sheldon wants his report sent to Stephen Hawking is funny for me😂😂😂

[johnkacoyannakis]

None of these compare to how poorly Sheldon treated Leonard. I can’t believe Leonard didn’t move out. He gives in way too often.

The saddest sheldon moment for me was when he was cornered by news reporters in the change constant

[bandz]

He acted like adult when he was a kid and when he was adult he acted like a child

[bowtiesrcool]

I hope Barry was reprimanded for that prank on Sheldon. It seems like something that could look poorly on the university. Granted, I don't think Sheldon was right to threaten Kripke on NPR either, but that is another issue.

[AngryAnimeFan]

It’s actually a complicated situation. Given how insufferable Sheldon has been, this messing may just be a start of what he deserves yet not too much

[Tombola]

The one where he gets his bag stolen and him yelling “EXCUSE ME!!!” to the thief was funny. Plus the helium and the dream he had about the Morlocks and screamed.

[thesourpatchkidd]

I think a large part of the point in Sheldon's character is that just because you didn't mean to do harm doesn't mean you didn't or that you shouldn't apologize. Sheldon is often unaware of how his actions affect others and isn't good at navigating social interactions, which leaves him frequently hurting those around him and being wildly inconsiderate and arrogant. There are times when he does this intentionally, but when he doesn't he often (not always) apologizes. His friends do a human job of navigating this- they're usually pretty quick to forgive and tolerate his many fopauxs, but there are times when, for all the many times he's hurt them (whether or not he intended to) he deserves to get a taste of his own medicine, if only to provide balance in the relationships.

Last time I checked Sheldon doesn’t respect other people boundaries, is constantly rude and disrespectful to them, is a huge liar, hypocrite and and massive narcissist.

[aaronhelms]

Sheldon was kind of a jerk, but he was never malicious with his actions. Sure, he wanted to get his way all the time, but his friends never tried to understand him and why he was like that, just treated it like a huge inconvenience. What they did to him in 'retaliation' was always very harsh and no one ever took the time to try and put themselves in his shoes for once. Even his own mother just thought he was weird. I know this series ended not even that long ago, but I don't know that the way he was treated would be tolerated now.

[SpeedyEric]

I love it when bad things happen to Sheldon freakin' Cooper. It makes me happy.

[jamessawyer]

I actually feel bad often. I know what it’s like to understand people. YES HE WAS A JERK AND 90% of this he deserved. Penny is the one who does it right and Amy. They tell him what he does is wrong without malice.

[awm]

Even if he deserves it for beinh a smart ass
But i felt bad for him each time

[justme]

One of my favorite scenes is 8, it felt so amazing he finally gets slapped in the face with his own contract but then Amy comes along and telling him to play dirty 🙄.
Lastly all of these thing. To me, he deserves it. I know of his downsides as someone who also have a hard time noticing other people emotions as well but the way he treats his friends especially Leonard is insane.

[JustMeandLife]

Not gonna lie, all of the things on this list, don’t feel sorry for Sheldon. Sheldon doesn’t understand what he does or how he acts get on people’s nerves, but then when things annoy him it’s wrong. Double standard. Sheldon honestly deserves a lot of these things like this.
