Penny’s outfit in Big Bang Theory scene deemed ‘too raunchy’ for TV ads

Well this is certainly a new direction…

The Big Bang Theory seems to divide opinion.

For anyone unfamiliar with the show, it’s about a cohort of nerdy friends and their equally nerdy girlfriends – the exception being Kaley Cuoco’s character Penny.

Penny, neighbour to chief nerds Sheldon and Leonard, falls for Leonard in a scenario that was probably thought up by a room of Leonard-alikes in the writers’ room.

Some people find it hilarious, others find it corny in the extreme, but the cast and crew are laughing as loud as anyone seeing as they are the best paid on American TV.

Anyway, in a new episode, Sheldon has some sort of dirty dream in which he worries that Leonard and Penny have turned his bedroom into a sex dungeon.

The dream sequence included Leonard and Penny in some, eh, sexy outfits. Penny’s is quite provocative, so much so that it has been banned by advertisers.

It’s clearly done for laughs and so it seems bizarre that it would be deemed too ‘raunchy’ for advertise space. It’s almost as if it’s all some sort of marketing ploy…
