Big Bangin’ the Comic Con, Part 3

Here is the third of three videos of "The Big Bang Theory" panel at Comic Con 2008.


In this segment they talk about Pluto, and how closely the cast members resemble their characters.

Part 1 is here, and Part 2 is here. And let me add, I’ll be there again next year. If you get a chance to go to Comic Con, go. ’nuff said.

    @Phil

    ’nuff said.

    Now I have images of a bad ’80s movie kung fu villain in my head. (Bonus points to anyone that knows what I’m talking about.)

    What are Bill Prady saying in the beginning when everyone’s laughing? I can’t quite hear it.

    Bill Prady seems to be saying something about the Pluto issue being a “disturbing” issue that needs to be addressed.

    Would be neat to see Pluto discussed on the show (as they point out, it would certainly make for good character interactions). Dwarf planet FTW!

    Thanks again for sharing, Phil.

    If they discuss the Pluto issue, they should have to give me a guest spot on the show. After all, I’m an actress and a big time Pluto advocate! How about having one of the lead characters in a debate with me?

    I can’t understand anything of what they are saying :(

    *garble garble*

    Can someone here more fluent in English/have better hearing, be so generous to write for me a transcript? Would be very appreciated…
