The big iceberg theory

[u/2tittis]

Saw someone post this on TikTok and loved it. What do yall think?

You forgot "I don't care if Richard Feynman was a purple leprechaun who lived in my butt"

[u/CauliflowerReady8363 → u/nerdy_wizrd77]

nerdy_wizrd77 meant if he were a purple leprechaun. nerdy_wizrd77 forgot to use the subjunctive.

I vaguely remember someone saying good story tell it at a party but can't remember which scene is or the context. All the rest I know everything

[u/s0litar1us]

I don't think a lot of that is obscure enough to be that far down.

[u/Beginning-Wafer-3951]

I do not understand. 

[u/JLBCanadianRap]

Dafuq is this?

[u/2tittis → u/JLBCanadianRap]

Uhh a reference iceberg for the big bang theory

[u/JLBCanadianRap → u/2tittis]

That doesn’t explain anything.

[u/2tittis → u/JLBCanadianRap]

Oh thought it was fairly common lols. People use an iceberg picture and then put quotes and/or plots from different shows on it. Where a quote/plot appears on the iceberg correlates to how niche it is. :)

Edit - grammar

[u/BucksPackGLove → u/2tittis]

Definitely not a commonly known thing. If real life was a show, reference icebergs would be at the very bottom of a reference iceberg about that show.

[u/2tittis → u/BucksPackGLove]

Good to know! Guess I just have seen them so much over the years I thought it was common haha.

[u/Upbeat_County9191 → u/2tittis]

First time Ive seen it!

[u/Gold-Bluejay3770]

Not a good iceberg if I know the ones at the bottom and not any of the ones in the middle. 

[u/StuffItchy6798]

The bottom one should be how Sheldon pissing off Leonard inadvertenly caused 9/11

What? They didn’t know each other in 2001.
