The Big Bang Theory - The Comedy That Never Dies.

Bazingaaa! 😁 To be honest, i don't know how they did it, but The Big Bang Theory is the coolest show for me. I mean, four super-smart guys, but totally out of touch with reality, obsessed with comics and physics, have become my ultimate comfort. Why? Because the humor is clean, simple and makes me feel good. When i find a clip on YouTube, i stop and watch it. It's like a quick relaxation ritual, i know I'm in for a laugh.

Every time i rewatch a scene, i don't just see actors....i see a bunch of weird friends who showed me that it's OK to be completely, absolutely, gloriously weird. This show didn't make geek culture cool, it made it real and super funny.

The heart of the whole comedy is, of course, Dr. Sheldon Cooper. This guy is not only smart, he's a machine of jokes based on rules. My nostalgia begins and ends with him, with his total refusal to accept normal reality. I often wonder😁 what life would be like with a Roommate Agreement in place!

His humor never goes out of style because it's predictable. Every time i hear the famous knock-knock-knock, Penny!... i feel a thrill of anticipation. I know a ridiculous moment of rigidity is coming and I'm laughing before he can finish. And His Place on the Couch? It's legendary! It's the clear symbol of his obsessions, and who doesn't have his obsessions? When someone, anyone, violates it, i don't just laugh at the scene, i laugh because i find myself in his little crises of order.

And, of course, Bazinga! That triumphant cry of a genius child is my favorite moment. It's the clip i instinctively seek out when i need a quick positive energy boost.

If Sheldon is the crazy guy, Leonard Hofstadter is the normal guy (at least for this group). His relationship with Penny is essential. What i love most is that they fell in love precisely because of their differences.

Leonard, full of insecurities, was always the guy who tried to be cool, and every awkward failure to impress Penny is adorable. Penny, with her practical sense, not only translated the world to the boys, but forced them to grow up. To me, their story clearly demonstrates that a real connection beats any physics formula.

• What keeps me coming back to the YouTube clips is the sincere friendship between Howard and Raj.

Howard started out as a bit of a talker, but i loved him as he grew. I fondly remember the jokes with his mother. Hearing Mrs. Wolowitz scream from upstairs (the best unseen character of all time!) gives me the chills. The fact that this nerd has made it to space is the best proof that dreams, no matter how absurd, can come true.

And Raj?...his struggle with selective mutism was super funny, but also touching. I'm always looking for clips of him drunk, when he becomes an absolutely ridiculous Don Juan or when he talks about his life with Cinnamon...a precious delight.

For me, The Big Bang Theory is a safe place that is open to everyone. Its humor appeals to anyone, regardless of passions, because it's actually about relationships and how we all struggle to be adults. The jokes about friendship, love and character development are universal and touch a sensitive chord. Every short clip, whether it's an unnecessary argument about movies or simply the gang huddled on Sheldon's couch, is a homecoming to a family you can choose.

This series whispered to me that it's OK to be weird, but the most important message is that it's OK to be human. And that your equally weird friends are the coolest. It's a joy I can recommend to anyone who wants to relax and watch a comedy with soul. And as long as Sheldon has his couch😊, laughter will never stop helping me relax in my world.
