6 Important Lessons Sheldon Taught Us On ‘The Big Bang Theory’

I found out about The Big Bang Theory sort of by accident.

When I was growing up, my mother watched the nightly news religiously. Directly afterward, TBBT would always come on that same network by default. After enough nights spent on the couch post-news, I was neck-deep in the comedy's plot — laughing along with the characters I had quickly grown to love.

Not only is the show absolutely humorous, its characters embed life lessons and advice into their comedic dialogue. Believe it or not, some of the best advice from the show comes from the goofiest character of all: Sheldon.

At times, Sheldon's words are bitingly sarcastic; other times, the physicist's catchphrases are almost too bizarre to understand — given his remarkable intelligence level.

Regardless of how he supplies the advice, though, Sheldon always speaks with intention and meaning behind his words. Sometimes, he drops truth bombs that are meant to stop you in your tracks and encourage you to think.

To celebrate Sheldon's noteworthy impact on modern America, check out the list of iconic quotes below: some silly, some straightforward.
