The Big Bang Theory fans have died from embarrassment for Raj at least once. Especially when it comes to these 10 funny quotes of his about love.
Many fans The Big Bang Theory have died from embarrassment for Raj at least once. For 12 years fans watched as Raj struggled to talk to women and have a successful long term relationship with any human of the opposite sex. And while all of his friends ended the series with their happily-ever-afters, Raj remained single with no future hope of love in sight.
Raj might not have been the lady's man of The Big Bang Theory crew, but he did have a few words of wisdom and relatable quotes about love and relationships. Here are Raj's 10 funniest quotes about love:
10"If I Were Hitting On You, You'd Know It 'Cause You'd Feel Uncomfortable And A Little Sad For Me."
Watching Raj attempt to flirt with women was downright painful at times as his interactions with women was typically uncomfortable for everyone involved. Raj was not the smoothest talker or the most confident man, but it didn't stop him from trying to get a date, once he overcame his fear of talking to women.
Most people have been in the same position as Raj though, they awkwardly failed at trying to flirt and then they simply ended up feeling sorry for not only themselves but also for everyone else who had to witness the fiasco.
9"Cinnamon, She Gave Me Her Phone Number! If I'd Known It Was That Easy, I'd Have Considered Poisoning You Months Ago."
Sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do in order to get a woman's phone number. Raj proved this when he was a little too eager at the thought of poisoning his beloved dog, Cinnamon, in order to get the veterinarian's phone number in season 7, episode 15 "The Locomotive Manipulation".
The veterinarian seemed to understand Raj's unique relationship with Cinnamon and almost admire him for how much he loved his dog. If only she knew that he was willing to poison his dog, just to get a date with her.
8"I Don't Have Valentine's Day Plans, Which Is Why I Booked Time On The Big Telescope That Night."
Every fan knows how much Raj despises Valentine's Day as he is often alone on the holiday filled with Cupid, flowers, and chocolate. But this quote is one of Raj's best quotes as it reminds those without a Valentine's date to still love themselves.
This was a touching moment, until Raj ruined it. After Raj told Amy he would be spending Valentine's Day with the big telescope, she tried to support him by saying how his plans sounded romantic. In true Raj fashion though, he did not accept the compliment and instead replied with, "Except I'll be alone." So close Raj, so close.
7"I Have To Feel Sorry For Myself. I'm The Only One Who Cares Just Like I'm The Only One Who'll Have Sex With Me."
Sometimes in life you have to be your own support system and if you're Raj, that includes feeling sorry for yourself and spending quality one-on-one time with yourself. Raj might be a brilliant astrophysicist, but he does not seem to have a high emotional intelligence as he is often throwing himself a pity party for the fact that he doesn't have a girlfriend.
But this is why fans love Raj, he is one of the most relatable characters as who has not struggled with the fact that they don't have a significant other.
6"I'm Just Saying That After Everything You've Been Through, You Get To Look Into Each Other's Eyes And Say 'I Love You'. And That's Beautiful."
Raj is definitely the most sensitive of the group as he is often the who one who reminds the others about the meaning of love and how special it is. In season 6, episode 1 "The Date Night Variable" Raj reminds not only Penny and Leonard , but also all of the fans, just how beautiful it is to have someone to love and love you back.
Once again this could have been a sweet moment, but Raj ruined it by demanding that Penny tell Leonard that she loves him. Kind of takes the romance out of saying 'I love you' when one of your upset friends is yelling at you to do it.
5"When I Had Money, I Dated Lots Of Girls Who Weren't Right For Me. And Then I Gave Up My Money, And Now I'm Alone, And Living With My Friends, And Somebody Else Should Probably Talk Now."
Every now and then Raj is good at giving at advice, but most of the time he should just stand back and nod his head in agreement. This was proven in season 10, episode 21 "The Separation Agitation" when he attempts to convince Bert to not go out with women who are after his money.
After Bert tells the gang how he bought his new love a flat screen on their first date, Raj feels the need to intervene and tell his own story in hopes of getting Bert to see the truth. But things go awry as Raj's story didn't have the happy ending it needed to inspire Bert to fully change his mind.
4"Cute Is For Bunnies. I Want To Be Something With Sex Appeal. Like A Labradoodle."
Being called cute doesn't always cut it for some people, especially if you're like Raj. Raj has been called cute several times and he seems to have had enough of it in season 4, episode 14 "The Thespian Catalyst". According to Raj, being cute is like being rabbit and we all know rabbits have no sex appeal. But what animal does?
Apparently nothing says sexy like a labradoodle. This is what Raj aspires to be. He wants to say goodbye to his cute bunny days and say hello to his sexy labradoodle days.
3"It Means That I Like Women, As Well As Their Skincare Products."
One thing fans love about Raj is that he is not the stereotypical male persona who doesn't care about his outfits matching or his skin being soft. Raj is quite the opposite in fact as he does value a good pair of designer shoes and a high quality skincare regimen.
Many people, including Raj's own parents, wondered if he was gay. But Raj put the rumors to rest about his sexuality in season 5, episode 20 "The Transporter Malfunction" when he explains he is "metro-sexual" which, in simple terms, means that he likes women and their skincare products.
2"You Can't Ruin A Friendship With Sex. That's Like Ruining Ice Cream With Chocolate Sprinkles."
Raj is ever the logical thinker as he believes nothing can go wrong in a friends-with-benefits situation. To Raj the friendship would only get better with the addition of sex as it's one good thing paired with another good thing. Unfortunately for Raj, he was wrong again.
When Penny and Raj made the mistake of spending the night together, Penny had to set him straight by stating she wanted to go back to the friendship they had before, pre-sprinkles. So, a word to the wise, sometimes too much of a good thing is not a good thing at all.
1"To Paraphrase Shakespeare, 'It's Better To Have Loved And Lost Then To Stay Home Every Night And Download Increasingly Shameful Pornography'."
Raj is no stranger when it comes to wearing your heart on your sleeve as he has suffered many heartbreaks throughout The Big Bang Theory's 12 seasons. After each heartache, Raj finds a way to pick himself up and put his heart out there once again, proving that he is stronger than people give him credit for.
Many fans rooted for Raj to find happiness by the end of the series. Even though in the end, Raj did not find his happily ever after, at least he had his friends who all loved him. He may have loved and lost, but at least he didn't spend every night for 12 years downloading porn.
