How I met your mother season finale Robin & Barney

The trouble with Season finales is that they usually focus on someone dying (like in One Tree Hill) or people hooking up (Bones, House). On HIMYM, love had been in the air for months for Robin&Barney.

(more…)

HIMYM cast

Ted runs into an old girl friend and explains to his kids how this changed his entire life. Barney reaches the magic 200th notch on his bed post and is looking for a special way to celebrate.

Liked it a lot! Robin puking on live telly, Barney sleeping with a scary body builder, Marshal getting hooked on pie charts (“Here´s a pie chart of my favorite bars, and this is a bar graph of my favorite pies.”) Ted trying to design a restaurant shaped like a cowboy hat (though it can´t be that hard, really?). And the whole messing with flash forwards and backwards.

Big disappointment was, of course, Stella (Sarah Chalke) showing up. Why oh why couldn´t it have been Victoria? So much the more fun character, and she might be back by now, right? God, I had tried to forget dull, dull, DULL Stella who forced Ted to move to New Jersey and then dumped him on their wedding day. Somehow, she was dull even after that. I guess she´ll introduce Ted to the Mrs. somehow, she couldn´t possibly be The Mom, if only because she´s too blonde. And did I mention DULL? It was good that they mentioned Lily, still off having her baby.

One lame thing: usually these guys follow through on their easter eggs and gimmicks, like the website on Canadian sexual positions in the hilarious Old King Clancy, but this time the Robin vomits on air-video on Youtube was just plain lame:

That´s it! LAME!

Homeless guy played by Dan Castelleneta aka Homer Simpson was a nice touch though.

Barney ´s three day rule

Ted breaks the Three Day Rule after promising he wouldn´t phone a girl called Holly. Marshall and Barney get back at him by pretending to text him as Holly, but of course things go awry.

I´m not a believer in these kinds of rules, never have been, but it was very funny how Barney explained the way Jesus came up with the Three Day Rule:

“Jesus started the whole wait three days thing. He waited three days to come back to life. It was perfect. If he´d only waited one day a lot of people wouldn´t even have heard that he died!”
Other than that, not an exciting ep, I guess we´ll have to wait until the finale for things to heat up again. Even so-so eps of HIMYM beat most other stuff on tv, especially thanks to Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel who did their whole Ted would rather have sex with me-thing delightfully.

Lily yelling Barney

Ted is trying to start out on his own, with his company Mosbius designs, but he´s having a little trouble to get the ball rolling, so he hires an assistant. Marshall is afraid of loosing his job, so Barney decides he needs “a thing”.

Funny ep. Robin diving into bed with PJ the assistant, Marshall running a fantasy baseball league, good stuff! I also liked how they worked in Lily´s pregnancy leave.

Memorable quotes:

Marshall about possible layoffs in the company he and Barney work:
“I´m freaking out. Are you worried?”

Barney: “Are you kidding? The things I know about this company, I won´t ever be fired. There´s a pretty good chance I´ll wash up on a beach one day with no finger prints ore teeth, but I  won´t be fired!”

Barney: “You´re no Lily, Marshall. Lily is a diabolical puppetmaster, she is pure evil. You´ve got a good one there, hang on to her.”

Robin: “A hot guy telling when you can and can´t pee, that´s the dream!”

Barney is banished from playing laser tag, which leads to Ted putting it on his Murtaugh List. Marshall takes over Lily´s kindergarten basketball team, but whereas Lily thought it would be great dad practise, Marshall takes it a little too seriously.

McElroy and LeFleur

There was some search engine fun: McElroy and Lafleur, according to Robin “the greatest Canadian action movie of all time”.
Of course, we googled.
According to Ohiomm.com, it´s an actual eighties Canadian cop film series, designed as “Laurel and Hardy with uzis” (did they even have uzis in the eighties? Let alone in Canada?) with lead roles for one Jeff Wincott and Clark Johnson. And Denise Anderson, who later changed her name to Pamela. I love that the HIMYM guys have been up all night thinking up this stuff! Must be so much fun!

Funny quotes:

Barney to Ted about completing every single thing on Teds Murtaugh list within 24 hours: “And after I do, you will tp the laser tag place with me!”
Ted: “And if you can´t do it?”
Barney:”I will spend three hours listening to you talking about architecture.”
Ted:”You have got yourself a deal!”

Ted:”Robin, life is a meal and old age is the dessert.”

Alyson Hannigan

Alyson Hannigan gives birth to a baby girl

It´s a girl!
On 24th of March, Alyson´s birthday, she got THE best gift ever, a healthy baby girl that she and husband Alexis Denisof called Satyana. Mom and baby are doing great and very happy!

Canadian Sex Acts

Ted thought he was designing the building of his career and then finds out the assignment was cancelled a month ago and Barney and Marshall have been faking it ever since. Robin admits to having gone home with a Canadian mystery celebrity and the gang has to guess who.

I of course checked CanadianSexacts.org and it´s HILARIOUS!

The Reverse Rick Moranis, Frosty Mitten Job, Two Girls, One Stanley Cup.

Wow. FUNNY! I also googled

The Frozen Snowshoe

, but got sucked into a phishing site, so you may want to give that one a miss!
Memorable quotes:
Lily: “So a mystery celebrity who collects mystery items wanted you to do a mystery Canadian sex act!?! TELL US!”

Lily:”I don´t even know any Canadian sex acts!”
Barney: “Well, you´ve got your Sloppy Dog Sled, your Alberta Fur Trapper, your Full Mounty…”

Ted: “I just got screwed by my two best friends and I didn´t even know it!”
Lily: “In Canada, that´s called a Sneaky Snowplough.”

Marshall Erikson

I haven´t laughed this much at a tvshow in a long, long time!

Wow. Funniest ep ever. The gang has to admit they have never watched Robin´s morning show, so they all meet up in their pj´s at 3.30 to watch it. Ted gets dumped by Karen and Lily had something to do with it. Turns out, Lily´s been getting rid of every one of Ted´s girl friends that failed the Front Porch test for years. Including Robin…

The funniest thing is that while Lily and Ted are discussing this, Robin´s show is on in the background and she´s putting out fires, saving lives and delivering babies and Marshall and Barney are having a pj showdown.

Funny quotes:

“Marshall´s wearing a night gown! Marshall´s wearing a night gown!!!!”

Ted: “I lived with Marshall for 12 years. Anytime he´s wearing clothes at all is a victory!”

Alison Hannigan pregnant

Now we all know that How I met your Mother´s Lilypad, aka Alyson Hannigan is about to burst with child, but, after hiding her belly in very very funny ways all season, according to EW, there might be an onscreen pregnancy around the corner for Lily and Marshall!

“It’s a distinct possibility,” says EP Carter Bays. “On the one hand, there are a lot of funny baby stories just waiting to be told. But on the other hand, that could mean the end of all the stories we could tell at the bar. You kind of have to reach the point where it’s like, “All right, there are no more stories to tell in the bar, so it’s time to start telling baby stories.”

Personally, I really think babies are no fun and something to be kept at home in a crib until it can hold a drink, but yeah, I guess there could be some funny baby stories? On the other hand, I like them like this! In a bar, slugging beer!

Ted´s former college girlfriend comes into town.
Only problem: Lily and Marshall HATE her, because she was an evil multicheating  snob. 

Great ep, maybe the best of the season so far. Robin on sleeping pills made me laugh out loud, the Marshall forgetting his pants-story was great, and I love  the funny ways they hide Lily´s pregnant belly! Marshall was brilliant!

Funny quotes:

Marshall “I will eat your brain but only if it´s grass fed.”
Ted: “would it be the worst thing in the world  if I called her?”
Marshall: “No Ted, it would be the fourth worst thing.”

Barney: ”Ted, sure it´s fun to look back on when you were a fresh faced farm girl….”
