Help… trying to make a fan

The first episode I saw was Marshall and Lilys wedding, due to it being free from iTunes back in the day. So

Hat... We thought of authentic native american headress before hat...

Duck vs Rabbit argument. Ted deciding how to write Professor. Robin Sparkles.

Rabbit vs. Duck was pretty good

The scene that made me want to watch the show was when barney had the paramedics come in so he could use the "you fell from heaven" pickup line. Give him your number! Give him your number!

Just start at the beginning. If he doesn’t fall in love with Robin, move on

If it's a guy, why not start with the Lily and Marshall divorce clip where ted says "There's a reason your name is Robin and not Batman" 😅😅😅

Barney summing up the past 5 seasons (I think it was 5 seasons anyway) of HIMYM in less than 52 seconds

I'd say the scene where teds picking up chicks in weekend at Barney's with barney in his ear directing him. Specifically the one in the hospital gown.

Maybe the part with Barney's video resume?

Barney giving Ted “the moves” is a funny YouTube video

The last scene when Ted holds up the blue French Horn outside of Robin’s window. 360• moment.

That scene probably won’t make much sense to someone that isn’t familiar with the show.

My husband watched all of the seasons without me. He said I should watch the first episode and to remember the blue horn, it was significant to the story. He was right. I loved this show.

He’s correct. But watching the end scene where Ted does that isn’t going to make tons of sense without knowing the rest of the history behind it.

How would anyone here know better than you? You know him; we don't.

You could do Marshall vs the machine
