Leonard, "Pillows and Blankets".


Throughout the series, Leonard has run-ins with different study group members that usually lead to an exchange of insults. The format is that Leonard barges in on a conversation with an insult or irrelevant information and then somebody retorts with a cutting remark. It originally involved only Leonard and Jeff but Shirley, Dean Pelton, Frankie Dart have each gotten a "Shut up, Leonard!". Britta has two. This running gag's first occurrence was in the Season One episode "Advanced Criminal Law". There are no occurrences in Season Two.
