In the scene, Penny wore blackface to look like a character from “The Nutty Professor.”

The person who helps make the show said they are sorry for putting the scene in the show because it was not nice.

[{"selector":"#anim-317eb04c-908e-46c5-b334-b6f91e5c1056 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a9b9d1c-bde0-4416-80e0-928970b0b8ae","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-273403d9-d86b-4457-9ae3-5a8c435e3571","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 154.11670%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The scene was in season 2 of the show, which was on TV in 2008.

[{"selector":"#anim-d7bdc08e-2584-4c3d-9f48-1991c36aecfe [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4566bfad-e2c7-43a2-961b-6b608b24b887","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ea742bfe-4bad-49a3-97e9-d39f3ae91e52","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 187.46768%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The person said they put the scene in the show to show they liked the “Nutty Professor” movie.

[{"selector":"#anim-2c32fd9b-3084-4eda-a075-1e14e8bfade8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eadf0fb4-b27b-4e5f-b454-e7ab9d2cd022","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 167.16269%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But the scene was not nice and made many people feel bad.

[{"selector":"#anim-3443436b-061d-4b5b-ad03-503ce40988ec [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.812499744007886%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1159ba6d-dfe2-4bcf-bccf-f84973b96feb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-232c431c-30fd-4df3-8359-91cb203ee9c9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 188.63045%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The person said that the show knows it made a mistake and will try to do better.

[{"selector":"#anim-71afaab6-540d-41f3-9c29-22a48e493359","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d2c5222d-b051-42b7-93d6-4fbaaf79cc7f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 167.16269%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

People like the show because it has many different kinds of characters and shows that being a nerd is cool, but this scene shows that even good shows can make mistakes.
