It would also establish a better connection between Parsons' adult Sheldon and his younger counterpart played by Iain Armitage. Both shows have already established themselves that jokes about them using the term would likely be inconsequential. While Holland offers an understandable explanation for why The Big Bang Theory stopped using the term " Bazinga," hopefully, they change their stance on the word in Young Sheldon. Secondly, Parsons' delivery of the word and the frequency with which it was used encapsulates just how socially underdeveloped the character was. Despite both Young Sheldon and its parent show barely using the tagline, it's understandable why the public still associates it with Sheldon. Sadly, Sheldon has been cast aside for a bit as the focus shifted to the Cooper family's bigger issues. Online, the phrase is used in a similar manner by fans of the show. Granted that there haven't been many instances where Sheldon could use it, but CBS could also create more storylines where his fun side is highlighted. Bazinga is an interjectory catchphrase associated with the American television sitcom The Big Bang Theory 1 character Sheldon Cooper 2 (played by Jim Parsons), who uses it as a taunt after pulling a practical joke on his friends, similar to the use of 'zing' or snap.'. That being said, The Big Bang Theory -prequel also barely uses the term. Young Sheldon's " Bazinga" origins explanation was actually ingenious.

We maybe said it thirty times-if that-over the course of 279 episodes. And sometimes in a detrimental way, because people would use it to mock the show sometimes. After season four or five, we almost never said it, but it was always the thing that was associated with Big Bang. We had a complicated relationship with bazinga because it felt like it was becoming a catchphrase in a sort of not-great way, so we retired it almost entirely. In Jessica Radloff's book, The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series, Holland says that the popularity of "Bazinga" actually had a negative impact on the series as it was sometimes used to mock it. Despite this, Jim Parsons says that it's still Sheldon's best catchphrase. In fact, the socially-inept genius stopped using it altogether around the middle of The Big Bang Theory's run. Given how popular "Bazinga" became, it's curious why CBS didn't further lean on it and had Sheldon use it more.
