History Recap / TheBigBangTheoryS4E3TheZazzySubstitution

** 8 years later, Sheldon points this out in the Season 12 episode "The Imitation Perturbation".

* SayingTooMuch: Amy thinks it's necessary and appropriate to tell Leonard, Howard and Raj that she had to stop to buy for feminine hygiene products and that's why she's at most only slightly late.

* InsaneTrollLogic: "Counterfactuals", the game made up by Sheldon and Amy. There is just so much wrong with it: Leonard actually call them out on it, saying they are just making stuff up, but they only believe he is being a SoreLoser.

* InsaneTrollLogic: "Counterfactuals", the game made up by Sheldon and Amy. There is just so much wrong with it:

* EverythingsCuterWithKittens: Sheldon starts buying cats (starting with Zazzy) to make up for Amy hurting his feelings by bad-mouthing theoretical physics and breaking up with him.

* CoughSnarkCough: Sheldon insists to Amy that he's perfectly fine. Leonard fakes a sneeze while muttering "Twenty-five cats!"

* AnimalHoarding: Sheldon starts with one cat. Then he thought it was lonely and bought six more. In the end, he ends up with 25 cats.

* CoughSnarkCough: 25 cats.

** Sheldon claims "When war breaks out, no one can afford the luxury of a rhino". Just who the hell would want (let alone ''can'' afford) a rhino as a pet?? Rhinos are huge, dangerous animals who cost a fortune to keep! Almost nobody could afford the luxury of a rhino even if war doesn't break out.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Amy complains that she and Sheldon are not eating alone at the Cheesecake Factory. However, she chose to sit at the same table with Leonard, Howard and Raj rather than pick another table. She might qualify as a CompleteMonster if she had expected the three to abandon their designated table just for her and Sheldon.

Rhinos are huge, dangerous animals who cost a fortune to keep! Almost nobody can afford the luxury of a rhino even if war does not break out, Sheldon.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Amy and Sheldon offer to play hide-n-seek with Leonard, the latter obviously doesn't want to play and states "I'm going to my room". Amy misinterprets this as Leonard giving away his location. And Amy thinks Leonard is using this trope when clearly she is.

** Even so, Sheldon claims that Uganda would have become a global superpower by exporting rhinoceroses as pets when rhinoceroses don't breed as easily and quickly as cats and dogs.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Amy claims the Danes invented their namesake sweet treat the cheese danish. The Austrians invented the cheese danish albeit in Denmark instead of their homeland.

** Uganda is a very poor Third World country that wouldn't have a chance of winning any war, let alone World War II. And how would rhinoceroses have helped Uganda win [=WW2=]? Both the Allies and Axis Powers have firearms, tanks, Air Force and the United States was able to develop nuclear weapons before Nazi Germany could. Can rhinoceroses really constitute any formidable line of combat/defense against WMDs when they're already being hunted to critically endangered numbers by poachers?

Can rhinoceroses really constitute any formidable line of combat/defense against that?

** How can only cheese danish be the only food unavailable for consumption if a giant beaver ruled the world? Why would only Denmark be flooded as a result? Why not multiple if not all human civilizations? That would certainly kill the diversity of human culture and of course global cuisine.

* Calvinball: How Leonard (And the viewers) interpreted the game "Counterfactuals" seeing just how nonsensical the questions ''and'' answers Sheldon and Amy state.
