50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

Hey look! It’s the promo for my episode of The Big Bang Theory!

  • WWdN in Exile

Holy. Carp. Wil's Mind = BLOWN.

This is the coolest thing I've seen all day. I can't believe that CBS chose to make the promo for next week's episode all about me! It's a huge honor, because it means someone at CBS thinks I'm worth audience. 

I've also heard from two friends who have seen screeners of the show, and – even though I like to always keep expectations nice and low – they both said that the whole episode is hilarious.

    Holy shit! Big-time upper-case Props on the Fruit Fucker tshirt making it’s way to prime-time. Freaking well done man.
    Mike and Jerry have to be stoked about that.

    Looking forward to the episode. Too bad I can’t watch the promo from my region.
    I salute you Wil Wheaton, you have come a long way!

    “This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions.” I am sad. 🙁

    That is just TOOO Awesome 😀
    Me and my best friend have been looking forward to this episode since you mentioned that you were going to be on 😀
    Oh my GOD! you and sheldon *dies laughing*
    WOOT!

    I don’t watch CBS other than BBT, so I never expected (or wanted for fear of spoilers) to see the promo for your episode. So glad you linked it. Freaking awesome, must be so cool to be able to be on a show you love!

    I second Quanta… also not available in my country… very sad 🙁
    (was seriously looking fwd to seeing how little Wil’s grown and changed since next gen…) 🙂

    Same here 🙁

    15 October, 2009 at 1:51 pm

    And you’re wearing a Fruit F***er tshirt. That is even cooler! I CAN’T WAIT!

  9. Drew Stanton says:
    15 October, 2009 at 1:51 pm

    Wil, wow. Just wow. The FF shirt was icing on the cake too! =)

    Congrats, that is very cool. Our DVR is set to record!

    Region restrictions are silly especially for what is essentially advertising for the show. I guess I’ll just have to wait until Monday. I’m very excited. 🙂

    “It’s a huge honor, because it means someone at CBS thinks I’m worth audience.”
    You’re not trying to convince us that you’re not, are you? I certainly believe you are. I would think your followers at various Cons would agree.

    i love that the final image of the promo is the 3 main characters and you! that’s so awesome. i love this show, and i will be watching you on it when it airs!

  16. Carly Bushen says:

    BBT + WW = nerdgasm. Dvr set.

    content blocking based on ip ranges is internet cancer …

    Clearly YouTube does not read Wil’s blog, as YouTube is a dick. “This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions.” for me too.
    /me cries a little

    Does CBS know that geeks everywhere are cheering because you managed to wear the Fruit Fucker t-shirt in prime time TV? FTW!

  20. darth muffing says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:03 pm

    I’m very excited for this! I hate that they don’t show the episodes of the Big Bang Theory online (I don’t have cable) so I’m going to have to find someone’s living room to inhabit for Monday night.

  21. Scot Boyd says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:06 pm

    So, you now qualify as stunt casting? That seems pretty cool.

  22. Quanta says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:09 pm

    I don’t blame Youtube. Remember, CBS put the promo up, so it’s their fault.

  23. Jeff Lowes says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:11 pm

    I must agree with the consensus… Wil Wheaton by himself on a show = Awesome. Wil Wheaton + Big Bang cast = Super Awesome. Wil Wheaton + Big Bang + Fruit Fucker shirt = Some level of awesomeness that math simply can’t describe.

    This made my day!! Wil, I am so proud for you!! I can’t imagine how you must feel! You fit in like a natural on the show! How was it working with Jim? I bet he is as funny off the stage as he is on!! Anyway, mega high five for you my friend. You so deserve this and more:) This will be the best episode by far!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dude I just listened to the Episode 8 podcast. That is all I can say…..

  26. Jules says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:14 pm

    FRACK! I am getting a video not available in your country due to copyright restrictions message.
    *grumbles*

  27. JCB1978 says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:16 pm

    Oh, and you bet you are worth the audience! We as your team stand behind our main man:)

  28. introvertedone says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:16 pm

    Huzzah!!! Can’t wait for Monday!! Whoa, I just said that. Brrrr

  29. Dillie-O says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:25 pm

    AWESOME!!! So are you guys actually playing YuGiOh there, or am I completely missing the CCG reference?

  30. Factoid says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:36 pm

    Epic. Whose idea was the Fruit F’er t-shirt, yours or the producers/wardrobe people?
    It’s a good thing the people at CBS Standards and Practices department probably have no idea what that thing means. I’m pretty sure the network would rather not be associated with fruit rape.

  31. TwinsFan91 says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:36 pm

    …because it means someone at CBS thinks I’m worth audience.
    Well, CBS has had you on NUMB3RS, Criminal Minds, and now The Big Bang Theory, so I think it’s safe to say that CBS likes you.

  32. Michael says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:39 pm

    Not available in my country. It is deepest darkest Australia (just south of Melbourne), so I guess, yeah, that’s understandable, what would we want with moving pictures from America anyway? Thanks, CBS for teasing us with Wil then geekblocking with regions.

  33. Alissabeth says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:40 pm

    I love how you mostly just look menacing in the promo.
    I also love that lately (well the guild and here) you’ve been promoted to super-scary-tough-uber-geek roles.
    Deserved promotion, of course. ♥

  34. Kathleen McDowell says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:40 pm

    Wil + BBT = TOTAL AWESOME!!! Very long time fan of you and been watching BBT from the beginning. I’m sure this will be the best ep yet!! 2 great tastes that taste great together! 🙂

  35. Oliver White says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:46 pm

    Annnd once again, anyone not American is cockblocked. Nice. I don’t see the point, those that can see it will rip it off youtube and re upload it for others to see anyway.

    Here’s a link that worked in Canada:



    I finally started watching BBT this season (I don’t know what took so long) and absolutely love it. Looking forward to Monday’s show!

  37. Kevin Hanson says:

    Cool promo.
    Looking forward to the episode.

  38. Oliver White says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:51 pm

    Cheers mate, got to see it. Still a shame I wont be able to see in here in the UK.

    15 October, 2009 at 2:51 pm

    Huzzah!! That is awesome Wil!! I can’t wait for monday night!!!!
    Also, Shameless Plug: In the first scene, Stuart is wearing a Stupid Puppyhead shirt!!! YAAAAAAAAY!!! My girlfriend(who owns the company, who didn’t get to meet you at comic con) is dancing in the kitchen! Double shot of awesome for us!

    People in another country, install Hotspot Shield, which will “hide” the origin of your computer and you’ll be able to watch region-restricted content. 🙂

    15 October, 2009 at 2:54 pm

    Fruit Fucker FTW!!! I’ve got the older version and I love it!

  42. angie k says:
    15 October, 2009 at 2:58 pm

    I snort-laughed. Yeah. That funny. I’m skipping a class screening to watch this.

  43. Danyiel says:
    15 October, 2009 at 3:02 pm

    WOOT! This is going to be EPIC, people. I never thought that I’d actually be looking forward for Monday to come, but BBT + Wil Wheaton = huge piles of awesome and win for everyone.

  44. Brian Watson says:
    15 October, 2009 at 3:04 pm

    Nice catch…didn’t notice that the first time through. That’s awesome! I assume the shirt was Wil’s choice?

  45. Wil says:
    15 October, 2009 at 3:09 pm

    Jim was absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with. The entire cast and crew are just wonderful people. I really hope I get to work with them again in the future.

  46. technogamy says:
    15 October, 2009 at 3:19 pm

    Hm. The preview itself won’t load in my browser — apparently, the Internets can’t cope with the massive burst of Wheatons* (*pronounced “wee-tahns,” i.e., the subatomic particle emitted by us fanboys) right now. But I think it’s avail on YT @

    or on CBS @ http://www.cbs.com/primetime/big_bang_theory/video/?pid=2hqhq9nC1PB434lA5cvJ46av6jwrU3pw …

    I think someone’s asking price could have just gone up! 😉
    Well, it could in the tv/movie/hollyweird world, not that you would but you could. And you deserve it of course. Not that you should. But…
    Oh, I think I typed my way into a corner!

    I’m disappointed that I can’t see the commercial for the episode in Japan. I hope to catch the episode on AFN, but not sure when it’ll air here. I’m sure you’re fabulous in it though, WW. 🙂
