As soon as I read the episode info and saw that Kripke was going to be making an appearance, I lost all hope of this episode coming anywhere close to matching the brilliance of last week’s.

Barry Kripke, you have made a new enemy. Not only are your bratty antics a permanent thorn in Sheldon Cooper’s side. Not only is your speech impediment transparently designed to make you more annoying, which therefore actually does make you more annoying in a kind of post-modern, meta way.

Two minute changes in a gene that is otherwise identical in humans and chimps could explain why we have full-fledged power of speech while other primates can only grunt or screech, scientists said on Wednesday.

"Hi, I'm Congressman Jim Cooper, Democrat from Tennessee. I know I am confused with Barney Frank, but I don't have a speech impediment, and I am not gay. I voted for the Healthcare Reform Bill that Nancy Pelosi's liberal crazies jammed down my throat. I sacrificed integrity and principles for process and Pelosi."

Sad to say, this kind of thing was...
