Storyline

- TriviaThe roller skating scene at the end is followed by an outtake of the ball pit scene, showing Jim Parsons unsuccessfully trying to hold back laughter while saying "Bazinga!" The roller skating rink doesn't completely follow the remainder of the story so it was probably the original scene planned for after the commercial break and the extra ball pit footage was added for time or humorous content.

- Crazy creditsCHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #275 ASK CHUCK! Dear Chuck, At a recent dinner party, I found myself in an awkward situation when the host, a devout atheist, sneezed between spoonfuls of his gazpacho. Without thinking, I said, "God bless you." He gave me a withering look and said, as if to a child, "Golly gee, I sure hope he does." The other guests exploded with laughter, while I imploded with humiliation. To avoid future embarrassment, what is the correct response when an atheist sneezes? Troubled with achoo Dear Troubled, First, a little background information. Saying "God bless you" following a sneeze is thought by some to have originated in the sixth century in order to protect the sneezer from falling ill to the bubonic plague. Another possible origin is that people once believed that the devil entered the body during a sneeze and saying "God bless you" could help ward him off. Since the plague has killed something like two hundred million people and the words "God bless you" have, in all likelihood, been said countless times to Glenn Beck, we can safely assume the phrase has no real power against germs or demonic possession. What it does contain is simple human courtesy -- a means by which we express concern for one another. As to how to respond to a sneezing atheist, well, that's easy. Simply say, "Sounds like you're coming down with something, I hope you don't die and rot in a box."

Quite Possibly the best episode of TBBT I've ever seen... and airing date holds a special place in my heart
This was the first Big Bang Theory episode I've ever watched and holds a very special place in my heart. Sheldon made this episode with his funny shenanigans especially with the ball pit scene.
Even more special is the fact that this episode came out on 1st February 2010 which was the best day of my entire life. I met two best friends Jesse and Cody, fell for my first crush Georgia, and 4th grade was when I became a lot more social.
I started watching TBBT when I was 9 and was at a time where How I Met Your Mother was in it's prime. For me Seasons 1-5 are the golden age of TBBT and Season 3 is by far the best of them all.
Bazinga!
