The Big Bang Theory builds its humour around Sheldon, Leonard, Penny and their friends, with physics, comics, games and social chaos as regular ingredients. The references are a big part of the show’s identity.
A poster gives the characters and the show’s look a place on your wall. The mug makes the reference smaller and more everyday, whether it’s at your desk or on the coffee table. Bazinga! You can take the mug with you, but Sheldon owns the spot on the couch.
