The F-Bomb Champion: Even Jim Parsons’ Sheldon, with his superior IQ, would not be able to defeat his co-star when it came to this Reddit contest.
In an entertaining survey on Reddit, fans of beloved sitcom The Big Bang Theory were asked who among its characters would be the champion if they could swear. Most TV sitcoms do not condone swearing but the commentator wondered what would the results be if they were allowed to cuss.
The results indicated that Kaley Cuoco’s character Penny would come out tops in this. Quite a number of comments stated that her character would gladly drop F-bombs everywhere if it was allowed in the show. Jim Parsons also portrayed one of the lead roles as Sheldon, but most comments stated he couldn’t get a win over Penny.
The F-bomb face-off: Penny takes the crown
It is easy to see why Penny, played by Kaley Cuoco, emerged first in this survey. A struggling actress and waitress at Cheesecake Factory, she was always portrayed as being down to earth and an extrovert compared to other members of her circle.
She was indeed the right one to unleash a barrage of obscenities due to her straightforward approach as well as her quick wit. The Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip actress equally played the role to perfection by presenting an authentic performance on The Big Bang Theory.
However, Jim Parsons who took on the role of Sheldon, a professor of theoretical physics at Caltech University, rarely swore in the show. The Texas-born scientist used amusing made-up words instead to blow off some steam.
Penny’s profanity reigns supreme: fans weigh in
Fans online agree that Cuoco’s character would constantly swear if given the opportunity. The fact that she was surrounded by socially awkward geniuses, and her struggling circumstances, does guarantee her some leeway for cussing.
On the other hand, the Family Guy voice actor’s character possessed a strict adherence to rules and social norms that were further compounded by his general clumsiness. So it would seem improbable for him to be the most frequent user of f-bombs.
So, while Sheldon may be the smartest guy in town, Penny was undoubtedly a woman with sharper speech. At last, the poll became an informal method to assess these characters’ traits as well as components of their personalities.
