Sheldon making fun of Kripke's speech impediment - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In "The Discovery Dissipation", Sheldon makes an error in his calculations on some scientific discovery and is humiliated. Kripke comes into Sheldon's office and start teasing him about it and doesn't stop. Sheldon finally has enough and mocks Kripke by calling him "Bawwy". Kripke feelings are hurt and Sheldon apologizes to Kripke and then Kripke goes back to making fun of Sheldon and walks out of the room laughing.

Was Sheldon wrong for making fun of someone's physical disability or was he justified in doing what he did? I mean, Kripke was someone who constantly bullied Sheldon and this is one time he should have just left Sheldon alone.

I doubt we will see this type of teasing again. It's not nice and it's certainly not entertainment.

It’s really hard to be funny without hurting somebody’s feelings. We have to make a choice between being funny or being nice these days, it seems.
