The romantic curves of the couples—Hugh and Bernadette, Leonard and Penny, and Sheldon and Amy—always lent a spark to The Big Bang Theory.

When the two got together, it was like a house on fire. They met in The Big Bang Theory season 3, and over time, their relationship progressed through numerous funny situations. One such was seen in episode 10 of season 6.

Titled The Fish Guts Displacement, the Mark Cendrowski-helmed episode showed Sheldon taking care of an ill Amy. Feeling special due to the extra love and attention, Amy continues to pretend to be sick.

When Sheldon realizes her act, he spanks her as a punishment. While he meant it as corporal punishment, Amy took it as an erotic move.

When he remarked that she should not be enjoying the spanking, she said:

“Then maybe you should spank me harder.”

While talking to Larry King once, Mayim Bialik termed it the most embarrassing of moments.

Unscripted moments from The Big Bang Theory explored

Apart from the spanking scene, some of the other unscripted and memorable moments in The Big Bang Theory are:

Kaley Cuoco’s tears: Kaley Cuoco is apparently an at-the-drop-of-a-hat crier, and one such was seen when Sheldon proposed to Amy. Her crying was absolutely unprompted, which added poignancy to the scene nonetheless.

Wil Wheaton at the Star Wars movie premiere: Wil Wheaton in Spock’s costume at the event was not only in the script but also to the cast members’ knowledge. So their reactions were spontaneous.

Penny’s promotion: Due to Cuoco’s leg injury, her character was promoted from being a waitress to a bartender in season 4.
