In addition to being the girl next door, Penny, the endearing neighbor from The Big Bang Theory, serves as the audience’s voice. She said some of the funniest, most relatable lines throughout the course of 12 seasons, capturing exactly what we were all thinking but were too polite to express.

Penny became the unofficial commentator on the gang’s humorous exploits, offering anything from sardonic jabs at Sheldon’s eccentricities to brutally candid remarks on dating. Fans soon discovered that we were all nodding along with her every time she spoke—or laughing till we started crying.

Her “I’m not crazy, I’m just differently sane” responses, her accurate assessments of Leonard’s love shortcomings, and her side-eye perfection whenever Sheldon veered off on one of his absurd digressions are some of the most memorable scenes. Penny was a fan favorite because she delivered every phrase with the ideal balance of charm and snark.

Years after the show’s conclusion, fans still post compilations of Penny’s greatest moments and recite her comments. She wasn’t just humorous; she was the most relatable voice, expressing our thoughts in the most delightfully candid way imaginable.
