There are often scenes on TBBT that remind me of similar ones in other shows or movies.

For example when the gang were carrying something heavy up the stairs.

• Penny's furniture

• The Time Machine

Reminds me of:

• Laurel and Hardy: "The Music Box (1932)" - videoclip

Shows, especially comedies, like to pay homage...and we thank them for it. to the writers for spotlighting this gems; even though it is well-worn, it still sparkles.

Shamy in a tribute to one of the OLDEST AND BEST comedy routines know to humankind.

Of course scenes of moving furniture up or down the stairs have been in many other sitcoms. Another one I remember was from "Friends (1994-2004)":

• "The One with the Cop" (1999)" - videoclip

Possibly, I'm one of only three people on the planet who didn't watch “Friends.” My cohorts swear (swore?) by it; but it never appealed to me. Saw a smidge of one episode. The scene made me chuckle; but, it didn’t make me want to stay, or return for more.

Must admit I enjoyed this clip. Anyone who has ever helped-or-had-friends-help them move can relate. Also must admit I at the beginning of the “return” scene and at the end.

"Penny's furniture" reminded me of Ross's couch on Friends, "Pivot, Pivot"!

• The Big Bang Theory - Sheldon tries to blow up Leonard's head

Reminds me of:

• "Cartman vs Psychics"

Exploding head (R-Rated):

• Scanners (1981) - Original Trailer

• Robber's Head Explodes! - Scanners II: The New Order (1991)

Carrying heavy furniture up the stairs must just be a common sitcom joke. It reminds me of the piano movers episode of Sanford and Son.

What about Laurel and Hardy?

I'm too young to have watched that.
