I gave it 1 Penny Blossom, and that was largely because of Kaley's excellent performance. Sheldon deconstructing comedy fell flat, it was weak material, and even 3 time comedy Emmy winner Jim couldn't elevate it above mediocrity. (Is that irony?)
Some nice Shelnard there at the end. Despite the gag with the "Kick Me" sign, the scene underscored how in tune Sheldon and Leonard are with each other at times. Leonard knew exactly what Sheldon had done, and Sheldon sensed that now was not the time for one of his "classic pranks."
The Raj and Stuart scenes were mildly amusing.
But it was one of those episodes where there's simply too much going on at the same time, and it seems fragmented and rushed as a result. By my reckoning there were at least 3 sub-plots in addition to the L & P dramedy.
