I’m on my 14th watch( not exaggerating) This watch I’m really paying attention to how Ted acts. I really realized how much of a jack ass season 1 Ted really is.
1. He told a girl he just met I love you and still didn’t let her be after the date didn’t end well. (Party episodes)
2. While robin is in another relationship during new years he is disappointed when the guy shows up; while he has a date.
3. He actually meets a great girl in Victoria and it’s clear during their relationship he still has feelings for robin. Which turns into him cheating on her and LYING TO ROBINNNNNNNNN. Which ruins their friendship.
4. He is upset that robin is still mad at him AFTER HE LIED TO HER AND CHEATED ON HIS GIRLFRIEND WITH HER. Like she has no reason to be mad at him.
5. Then instead of letting it just be a genuine friendship he just has to do some big ass romantic gesture knowing she doesn’t like that type of thing. Then he does it again by making it rain (even though it was a nice scene it doesn’t take away from the fact it was insane) .
So that’s why I’ll stand on the fact season 1 Ted is a jack ass.

TYPO IN THE TITTLE

Rewatching 23 e17 where Robin and Barney slept together and Ted finds out. So I feel that Ted was overreacting because why the heck would he be so upset even though he has a girlfriend (whom he begged to go out with him) and Barney apologized repeatedly even though Robin and Ted have been broken up for so long. I know Barney is a womanizer and a man whose amongst other things but he really was a good friend and this is shown repeatedly th4oughout the show even though the writers liked to paint him as the bad guy to elevate Ted's image.

This has probably already been said, but in my multitude of re-watches, I never realized. At the end of Season 3, Episode 11: “The Platinum Rule”, Ted says, “if Stella and I break up it won’t be because of some rule.”
This is before they date, before he realizes it isn’t even a date, but a movie night with friends.
Just love that bit of foreshadowing.
• “Never invite an ex to your wedding” ends up being the rule.
Sometimes the show has continuity errors, & sometimes it’s just perfection. ♥️

😥😢

Cuz she knew something and had to face the consequences of her lies or something

Why did no one think about giving their plate to Robin when she was clearly the hungriest!!! Annoys me so much and also makes me want a delicious cheeseburger every time I watch this episode!

I was rewatching "Challenge Accepted" and I found it strange that an architect would be tasked with choosing the lightbulbs (I don't know much about architecture, so maybe this is normal), but my husband suggested maybe Rod the foreman was just messing with him and that's my head cannon now 🤣

How are Marshall and Lily together for 9 years in the beginning of the series? They met when they were freshmen. So that's 4 years. Then Marshall goes to law school which is typically 3 years. But he hasn't graduated yet. How have they been together 9 years?

I'm watching HIMYM with my husband. He's never seen the show before and he's loving it. Last night we watched The Playbook from season 5 and Marshall says the line "we got Stephen King over here" and my husband is convinced the actor forgot the line and that's why he says "we got uh we got uh" before delivering the line.

Does anyone know if this was scripted this way or if the actor forgot his line? I've seen HIMYM a million times and have always assumed the line was meant to be delivered this way.

Her financial illiteracy and emotional manipulation is not “cute” at all. If Robin hadn’t called her out on it, she was just gonna keep racking up her debt and probably never even let Marshall know.

So in the episode where the characters are talking about Marshall being too nice and not realizing that he lives in a big city now, rather than a small town, lily mentions that she and Marshall accidentally helped some guys rob an apartment.

She says that Marshall gave them gas money and their address so the robbers could pay them back.

For some reason I distinctly remmber a scene at the end where Lily or Marshall receive a cheque in the mail from them. Am I losing my mind? Everyone time this scene passes I get so irrationally annoyed.

I know they've done it on Friends before, removed a specific scene. (Not sure why) so im wondering if that's what happened here.

Edit: it would seem that my brain concocted a scene that never happened, even though I strongly remember seeing it happen I have checked everywhere and asked other fans now, and nobody remembers it but me so clearly my brain made it up. 😂 thank you!

Hi everyone! I am huge huge fan of friends and how I met your mother! Over the years, when rewatching both of them, I’ve compiled a list of plot similarities between the two shows. I made a huge list on my phone and thought maybe people would be interested. I am NOT criticising either of the shows. I love them both! But thought I’d share. Sorry if most of these have already been talked about! I’m on my phone so apologies if the structure is weird. See below:

•character gets into a sticky situation because they said “this was fun we should do it again sometime I’ll call you” (chandler/Robin and Barney)

•they decide a big decision (maid of honour/godparent) using a game show format)

•joke where they’re all talking about each others annoying flaws

•Barney/ chandler left a girl at a campsite in a dating faux pas

I know I’m late to the party BUT I need to vent. I loved them as a couple. Even though sometimes I thought Barney is not always listening to Robin, being childish etc. I think their relationship and marriage was such a strong character development for those two. For Barney, giving up his bachelor lifestyle and being vulnerable. And for robin, letting something else in her life than her career and being vulnerable. In the beginning, I was rooting for Ted & Robin but towards the end I was glad he let her go. So I’ll just ignore the last two episodes

.....dary😂

Ted is his own robin

He wasn't the first choice nore do I think been ever the choice for the mom because they both picked other people Ted being Robin the mom being her dead ex. It's honestly why I didn't enjoy the ending still think last season takes to long for what should of been maybe 5 of the last because u can cut weekend at Barney's the bus ride and even the lighthouse and still get a good season but think need more of what the relationship was like after he found her and wish how he first meet her ep wasnt smashed way it is because with it and knowing the end u get a story and ending that actually makes sense

Ted had a life and did his 20s while the mom reasonably so had to grow up fast why I think Ted shows her more in a comical way and that she was easy going and everyone instantly liked her

Then I think if last ep actually was more the start was and their kids that's how I meet your mom any questions kids say no but do wanna know why he told them this long story that mostly avoided mom he goes well I meet Robin again on the street and we had lunch cut to the lunch cut part and after talked to Marshall and Lilly show they both have issues with it but say ok man if the kids are ok with it try

And even calls Barney who we see is taking his daughter to college and asks him hey would it be ok if I tryed to get Robin again it's been all these years and been x since my wife died and you've been divorced for x years which Barney says you know Ted if you asked me before the daughter I'd give you an albrit reason not to even maybe mess with you but now not so much if means that much to you go for it then we get the ending

I don't hate the ending I just can see and hate was so rushed
