After having started out as a recurring character, Amy Farrah Fowler became one of the main characters in the phenomenally hit American sitcom The Big Bang Theory.
Amy went from being a socially inept, mechanical, female version of Sheldon, to a more mature, reasonable, and generally fun person to hang out with, despite her many quirks. But there were a few things about her that made very little sense sometimes.
10 Gifting A Massive Painting To Penny
Amy had a major girl crush on Penny, which would have been fine until she started going overboard and gifted her a huge, unflattering painting of the two of them.
Not just that, she insisted that the painting be kept in the living room for all to see, completely oblivious of Penny's horror. For someone as smart as Amy, she could be frustratingly short-sighted at times.
9 Agreeing To Sheldon's Various Agreements
Amy was unbelievably patient with Sheldon, but there were a few things she did to appease him that she really didn't need to do. For instance, she agreed to sign both the relationship and the roommate agreements, the latter being one of the most irritating things that any roommate of Sheldon had to put up with.
It's understandable that in order to be with Sheldon, she had to accept a lot of his nonsense, but given how accomplished and independent she was herself, maybe she could have put her foot down before consenting to the roommate agreement. And who knows, Sheldon might have conceded!
8 An Annoying Maid Of Honor
Amy was incredibly narcissistic at times. When Bernadette and Penny went shopping for bridesmaids' dresses, she was on the brink of a meltdown. Feeling g uilty, Bernadette asked her to be her maid of honor.
Now, this was a lovely way to make up for hurting their friend, but Amy took it up a few notches when she behaved as if the wedding was hers instead of Bernadette's. Being the maid of honor is no cakewalk but the way Amy messed it up made no sense at all.
7 Humiliating Stuart
Dating Sheldon was no walk in the park and even Amy, who was generally devoted to him, had a few outings with other men.
One of them was the goofy comic book store owner, Stuart. The latter was well known for not being lucky with the ladies, or in anything, really, and it was decent of Amy to go out with him. However, then along came a jealous Sheldon and wedged himself between the two of them, and Amy went along with it as if she didn't realize that Stuart would be utterly humiliated. Her lack of common sense was indeed mind-boggling at times.
6 Passing Out After Just A Couple Of Shots
Penny and Bernadette had planned a very sedate bachelorette party for Amy. The idea was to do things that they thought Amy would adore, such as drinking tea and quilting.
However, Amy, like any normal bachelorette, wanted a wild night, but what made no sense at all was how she passed out after just a couple of shots at her own bachelorette's. Amy had been shown getting stone drunk but never passing out several times earlier, such as when the girls went to Vegas. So why she should do so on such an important night in her life is baffling.
5 Putting Pressure On Penny
Another thing that made no sense about Amy was how she reacted when Penny stated that she would not be opting to have children.
Of course, Amy's obsession with Penny had been a sub storyline all along, but to see her putting Penny on the spot regarding a very personal decision of the latter's, instead of supporting her, was a tad odd.
4 Ruining Raiders
Amy was a wonderful girlfriend to Sheldon, more patient, and understanding than anyone could imagine. She was always trying to do something special that would please Sheldon one way or another.
So it seemed to make little sense when she went ahead and ruined one of Sheldon's favorite movies, Indiana Jones And Raiders Of The Lost Ark, for him, telling him that the movie had a major loophole, that being Indiana's irrelevance to the story. Having a favorite movie ruined could be frustrating for anybody, and this was Sheldon Cooper's!
3 Consenting To Sheldon's Every Unjust Demand
Now, contrary to ruining his favorite movie, Amy also accepted and consented to almost every unjust demand that Sheldon ever made, from not holding hands to having sex only on birthdays, to kissing only on date nights.
Tolerating and cohabiting with Sheldon was no easy task, yet Amy did it like a pro. But to do that, she had to compromise a lot with her own desires and dignity, which, for someone as accomplished as her, didn't always make sense.
2 Her Mother's Flip On Her Love Life
When Amy was first introduced as Sheldon's socially awkward female counterpart, she was shown to be just as uncomfortable navigating a socially acceptable dating life, as Sheldon himself. During that time, she made Sheldon speak to her mom over skype, to assure her that she was dating someone. It appeared as though her mom was anxious that she should have a normal love life, like everybody else.
But over the course of the series, there were several references to how Amy's mom was prudish and had always controlled Amy's life to make sure she didn't develop loose morals. When her mom finally appeared during her wedding, this time played by actress Kathy Bates, she was excessively stern to the point of being oppressive. It made no sense that a character like hers would have ever wanted Amy to date, meaning that there was some gap in the writing.
1 Sticking With Sheldon
Finally, the elephant in the room is of course that Amy stuck around with Sheldon in spite of years of insults and bullying. For someone like Amy, who was smart, intellectual, and accomplished, she could have moved on to someone else who might have given her more respect.
It didn't always make sense that she gave in to all of Sheldon's obnoxious behavior, putting her foot down much after anyone else in her place would have. However, that patience, and the genuine love for Sheldon that she had, was what defined her character's strength and it was her choice that she stayed with the man she loved.
