!!Bernadette
* {{Flanderization}}: When she was first introduced, was very nice and polite, though rather [[TheDitz ditzy]]. Occasionally the writers would have her say something uncharacteristically mean or violent, the joke being that because she was normally so sweet, [[BewareTheNiceOnes seeing her act that way was funny]]. As the show went on though, these outbursts became more and more common, and the Bernadette of later seasons is a very short-tempered and competitive person. The ditzy aspect of her personality was dropped, probably to differentiate her more from Penny, and she eventually HandWaved it by saying she initially acted dumb to make her boyfriend Howard feel smart.

I think only two characters in this series who fit {{Flanderization}} are Raj (his inability to talk to women) and Stuart the comic book store owner (suffering from severe depression).
