Haha! Barney advertising himself during the Super Bowl. Brilliant!

Yey! Ranjit! He is the best! Welcome back!

They brought Don back also, I thought they had left that, I’m not complaining though, he is funny!

Barney and his phone were really funny! But that phone ring signal is kind of annoying! Or a lot!

Answering his phone:
Boney: Go for Barney. Cut to the chase; what’s your cup size? Oh, hi mom!

Love the teasing they do to Robin!

Ted wants an arranged marriage? That seems a little bit extreme!

Marshall: You want us to arrange your marriage?
Ted: Absolutely! Look, there’s two sides to dating, right? Picking and getting picked. Getting picked I’m good at; ladies love Teddy Westside!
Marshall: You’re waiting for me to comment on your self assigned nickname… Well here’s my comment; I love it!
Ted: Really?
Marshall: Teddy Westside? Continue!
Ted: It’s the picking I suck at, I pick the wrong girls! But you guys are the best pickers I know, you picked each other!

That entire conversation about Ted, Robin and Don and the fight was the best comedy this show has had in a long time!

Marshall: Relationships are like that. Look when you first met Don you hated him, you thought this guy is a duck but one of these days you are going to realize he is actually something that I love; he’s a rabbit.
Ted: Wow! Think you got it backwards there buddy. The duck is the thing you love, the rabbit is the thing you hate.
Marshall: What?
Robin: Yeah, I gotta agree, ducks up, rabbits down.
Lily: Definitely, ducks are better than rabbits.
Marshall: Ducks are, ducks are, ducks are… Rabbits are adorable, ducks are… Have you ever been in a fight with a duck? I mean ducks are jerks!
Narrator: This led to one of the most intense arguments our group had ever had.

Excerpt from fight:
Ted: Then why don’t we take a rabbit, a duck, stick them in a cardboard box and let them fight it out!?
Marshall: Cause its illegal Ted!
Ted: Only if we bet on it Marshall!
