Rules say that Antagonist is not the same as Villain. That this is a villains wiki and we need to stay that way, etc.

There are sitcoms which can have villains. The Sheriff of Rottingham (Robin Hood: Men In Tights), as well as Sheriff of Nottingham (Disney), and even When Things Were Rotten are all comedies and sitcoms. Adolf Hitler (Danger 5) and Adolf Hitler (Heil Honey I'm Home!) are sitcom villains. All legit villains. There are kid's cartoons with villains, such as HIM (The Powerpuff Girls) and even Word Girl's Birthday Girl. Mandark from Dexter's Lab. Chuckles the Silly Piggy from Dave the Barbarian. The list goes on.

So being from a sitcom should not be a consideration. 6.1 says "established as a villain in their setting" with consideration given to a "Villainous Jerks" scale. 6.3 says "jerk alone is not enough" and 6.3 defines that Antagonist and Villains are not the same thing and only add the latter.

Point should be made that not every story/show/franchise needs to have a villain. Some are simply Antagonists who do not fit the definition by the rules of "doing wicked/evil" (6.3).

IMO the phrase "the closest thing to a villain" should be a red flag to assess if they are villains.

I don't think anyone on TBBT fits any part of the Rules.
