Haha, universed!
Marshall: Baby, were you serious about the whole fifth doppelganger thing? I mean having a baby is a pretty big thing to leave up to the universe.
Lily: Yeah, I know it’s crazy. It’s just so much easier to let the universe decide. Why do you ask?
[Marshall shows the fifth doppelganger]
Marshall: Boom! Universed!

They are going to have a baby! Yey!

Haha so funny!

Love the thinking conversation!

Haha, puppets, I wonder who pitched that!

Lol, love Ted at the hair studio!

No Marshall! Bad Marshall!

Hahaha! Lol! Speechless!

Love the conversation in Lily and Marshall’s bedroom.

What? Robin is leaving! So sad! No she is staying, happy!

No, Don got the job! Now I am sad again!

Haha, Barney as an Estonian street performer!

Naaw, such a beautiful moment between Robin and Ted!
Robin: Ted, am I just the biggest idiot in the world?
Ted: Look, think about all of us five years ago, when we first met you. Marshall and Lily were just boyfriend and girlfriend, now they are married and thinking about kids. And Barney, Barney was never gonna commit to anyone ever! And last year, he fell in love. And me, I was chasing some girl I was convinced was the one. Now she is one of my closest friends. And you! Five years ago you never would have chosen love over your career but today you did.
Robin: Looks like I’m getting dumber.
Ted: No, just more courageous. Look, we have all been searching for the five doppelgangers, right? But eventually over time, we all become our own doppelgangers. You know, these completely different people who just happen to look like us. Five years ago Robin, that girl, she was pretty great. But doppelganger Robin; she is amazing!

Naaw, such a beautiful ending! The show has been renewed and will be back in the fall!

Haha, Marshall brake dancing.

How is being nice bad? More people should be nicer!

Kitty! Say good bye to these!

Loved the baggage with writing on, hilarious!

Funny:
Robin: Hey, what took you guys so long?
Marshall: Nothing, just forget about it.
Lily: We were on our way here and Marshall wanted to stop and help some guys load their moving van.
Marshall: To be nice! Didn’t cost nothing.
Lily: And when the moving van drove away, who should show up but the owner of the apartment we had just helped some guys rob. And that one was hard to explain… to the police.
Robin: See Marshall, this is what I mean. You can’t treat New York City like it’s the small, friendly, crime free, inbred backwoods, podunk, cow tipping, Minnesota, Hicksville where you grew up!

A movie about Ted’s life, fun!

That movie seemed like something I would watch, fun!

Loved the reaction of the audience!

Poor Ted, Tony shouldn’t have done that. I wonder how many films are based on some truth without the audience knowing.

Barney in the theater was so funny!

And they lived happily ever after!

Or not….

Cute little episode!

When Ted, Marshall, Lily and Barney crash a highfalutin party at a swanky New York apartment, Ted gets the chance to mingle with the snooty guests and show off his intellectual side, on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, Monday, May 10 (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

They got really excited about the robots vs. wrestlers thing!

Lily: Wait, wait, wait! Who’s the fifth ticket for?
Barney: Robin. I know, she moved in with her boyfriend and says she doesn’t want to hang out with us anymore, but this is robots vs. wrestlers. Robots vs. wrestlers!
Marshall: Barney is right, it’s impossible to say no to that!

Yey, Robin, she isn’t completely gone! Haha, she talked with Lily on the phone, while doing her show!

Barney: She said no? How could she say no? Robots vs. wrestlers is our most important tradition as a group!
Lily: Tradition? We’ve never done this before.
Barney: It’s robots vs. wrestlers Lily, how is this not gonna be a tradition? Well, this is how it starts. First Robin moves in with Don, then Marshall and Lily have a baby, then Ted…
Ted: Get’s married?
Barney: I was gonna say is found alone in his apartment devoured by his cats, but either way not pretty!

Marshall and Lily talking about when they are going to have a baby was so funny!

Interesting, Marissa Heller, a mystery girl!

Trying to enter the party and the elevator was hilarious!

They are so incredibly out of place!

Marshall and the butler was so funny!

Even Barney isn’t doing well.

I really don’t like the group after this making fun of Ted thing! Shame on them!

Yey, robots fighting wrestlers!

Marshall: Best tradition ever!
Barney: Don’t humor me Marshall, let’s face it, the gang is over! Ted’s gone, Robin’s gone; we might as well go our separate ways.
Lily: God Barney, enough with the abandonment issues, Ted’s allowed to have a life outside of the group. We all are.
Barney: Wait a minute! Why are you saying that all of a sudden? Oh god you’re pregnant!
Lily: No!
Barney: Oh god you already had the baby! Its right behind me isn’t it!?

Haha!
Fighting robot: Is that all you got, bitch?

Yey, Marshall and Lily might have a baby!

Mexican wrestler Ted! Ted’s doppelganger! Awesome!

Barneys rules for if Marshall and Lily have a baby:
Barney: Rule number 83! If anything that comes out of that baby gets on my suit, I get to touch Lily’s boobs.

Robin is back! And it turned out to be a tradition!:
Narrator: Kids, I’d love to tell you that over the years we didn’t all drift apart a little at one time or another, you don’t mean for it to happen but it does. But no matter what, to this day, come hell or high water, we still all get together every year for Robots vs. wrestlers.

I thought Marissa Heller would make a great girlfriend for Ted, I hope that happens!

When Ted and Barney jeopardize Robin’s new relationship by professing their love for her, Robin realizes that she is finally over them. Meanwhile, after spending a weekend sleeping in twin beds, Marshall and Lily decide to get twin beds at home, on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, Monday, May 3 (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Don and Robin are so funny!

About Robin moving in with Don:
Robin: I’m considering it.
Barney: You´re considering it? You barely know him! Plus the guy is a loser with a dead end job!
Robin: We have the same job Barney!
Barney: And we couldn’t be prouder of you angel!

Lily and Marshall sleeping through their vacation was so funny!
Marshall: We slept for eighteen hours!
Lily: We missed four prepaid meals!
Marshall: I lost 11 pounds!

Ted’s gay montage was funny, calligraphy teacher? Lol.

Never thought about that:
Don: You dated Ted too? Robin, out of the four people you consider your best friends in New York; you’ve slept with 50% of them!

Oh, twist!
Barney: Ted, I must have Robin back!

Haha! Barney acting like a child was awesome!

I don’t really see anything wrong with Lily and Marshall’s bed thing! They are happy!

Ted and Barney drunk was epic!

Haha:
Marshall: Baby, I love you more than life itself, but you’re a million degrees. Honestly I’m surprised your hourly pee brakes aren’t just steam!
Lily: Well, you’re no pick-nick in bed either! Oh except for the food and the ants! But I still wanna be next to you.
Marshall: Why? So you can kick me and slap me all night? I swear to god, the second you fall asleep it’s like you grow extra limbs! It’s like spooning with the Hindu deity Ganesh!

And the epic drunk time continues!
Barney: Alright Don! Let’s settle this, you, me and Ted!
Ted: Yeah a three way!

No, what happened!
Ted: We are going to do anything we can to make sure Don feels apart of the group.
Robin: Don is not going to be a part of the group, and neither am I, at least for a while. Guys this thing with Don is real and I wanna see where it goes, and I’ll never be able to do that if I keep hanging out with my ex-boyfriends all the time, it just won’t work! I’m moving in with Don.

Ted’s stepdad and mom are awesome!

The painting was funny!

Poor Ted!

I agree with the characters:
Robin: Best
Marshall: …wedding
Lily: …Eee
Barney: …ver!

Barney making fun of Robin was hilarious!

Ted bought a house?
Lily: What do you mean you bought this house?
Ted: I mean I made a bid online, I won the auction the next day and I got approval, I just finalized the paper work!
Barney: And was the Blair Witch easy to deal with or did she haggle over the closing costs?

Lily: Ted this is insane! This is going to take years and a small fortune to make livable.
Ted: I’m an architect, I’ll find a way and if I start right now it will be done by the time the old wifey and I are ready to move in.
Barney: …Is she in the room with us right now Ted?

Marshall’s drunk or kid game was funny!

The inspector was great!

I would love, love, love to restore a house, but who doesn’t have that dream?

Barney and Ted’s mom was funny!

I wasn’t paying attention, why did they destroy the wall? They seemed to have fun though!

What a beautiful moment at the end between Ted and Marshall!

And it was the house the kids are sitting in, naaw! Good episode this week!

Yey, How I Met Your Mother is back! I have really missed the show!

He convinced a girl he was Neil Armstrong? Barney has a gift!

Barney: Any who, twenty minutes later the eagle landed, we knocked space boots. Houston we have a moaner, other space related double entendres.

Ted playing with dolls on his little model house was so funny!

Funny! There’s a knock on the door:
Lily: Oh, that’s the pizza, baby do you got any cash?
Marshall: Oh, you know I actually don’t think I should have to pay, cause I’m not a fan of pizza.
Robin: What?
Ted: Marshall, we have driven halfway across the country for a piece of pizza literally hundreds of times.
Lily: I once caught you eating pizza in the shower.
Pizza deliverer: Marshall, there’s a cartoon of you on our coupons.
Barney: I’m not saying Marshall is a guy who like pizza, but the last time he went in for a physical, the doctor said Marshall you gotta stop eating pizza. Marshall says why? The doc says so I can examine you. But seriously, we kid because we love.

Marshall’s talking about his mugging:
Marshall: It was completely terrifying.
Barney: It was completely terrifying.
Marshall: What are you doing?
Barney: I’m rehearsing. I’m going to pretend this happened to me later to try and get some sympathy sex.
Marshall: Barney, that won’t work. Will it?
Lily: Big time!
Marshall: I’ll allow it.
Lily: I can’t believe somebody pointed a gun at my Marshmallow, I’m shacking, I don’t think I am going to be able to sleep tonight.
Robin: Naaw, here sweetie I have something that will help you sleep. [starts digging in her handbag]
[She pulls out a gun and everybody freaks out]
Robin: Just stick this under your pillow; you will sleep like a freaking baby.
Ted: Robin, put that away!
Robin: It’s not gonna hurt anyone, the safety is… [puts the safety on] …on.
Marshall: Okay, you know what? Let’s all just relax! We don’t need a gun. I just like to forget this ever happened and try to move on with my life.
Barney: I just like to forget this ever happened and try to move on with my life. Its great stuff but I think I will try to add tears though.

Lily at the gun ranch was hilarious!

He got mugged by a monkey! That is epic!

Great monkey-mugging jokes!:

Ted: Well, monkeys are mugging people now? It really is a jungle out there!

Lily: Oh my god, that monkey’s got our address, what if he is in a gang? I hope he doesn’t do a swing by!

Robin: Hey guys! Wazup?
Barney: Oh, some new information has come to light on Marshall’s mugging.
Robin: Oh, really? Did they catch the guy?
Ted: Well, he is behind bars.

Ted: You know how they caught him right?
Marshall: … there was a tail…
Ted: There was a tail on him! Hahaha!

Cutest monkey! I wonder if it’s the same monkey as the one from Friends? How I Met Your Mother is awfully a lot like Friends.

This was a cute little episode, very lovely!

When Ted ruins Lily’s birthday dinner celebration by bringing a date, Lily goes to great lengths to keep her out of the traditional photo she takes every year of the gang, on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, Monday, March 22 (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Love the birthday breakfast!

Pretty dresses!

Love the hate for Amanda! Lol!

Funny:
Marshall: In honor of Lily’s 32nd birthday I have a lot of great games planned, starting with Lilyal Pursuit! Okay, who’s got number 1?
Amanda: I do!
Marshall: Of course you do. Okay, Amanda goes first. 32 seconds on the clock to answer as many questions as possible. And…go! Question 1: What is Lily’s favorite color?
Amanda: [Looks at Robin who is wearing a pink dress] Well, she is wearing pink so I’m going to say pink.
Marshall: Okay, that’s Robin.
Amanda: Oh, ah, her favorite color is…
[Ted tries to mouth the answer to Amanda]
Amanda: … elbow.
Marshall: I believe Ted was mouthing the word yellow, which also would have been wrong.

The whole Lily fighting with Ted was funny!

Hilarious, surgery is a kodak moment?

Haha, Barney’s perfect picture thing was funny! It kept getting scarier and scarier!

Horrible Karen!

Love all of the France photos!

Haha:
Lily: Yeah Ted, I think you should listen to Robin.
Ted: Right, right, cause Robin is your best friend?
Lily: Exactly.
Ted: Your best friend in the whole world.
Lily: Absolutely.
Marshall: [whispering loudly] Careful Lily it’s a trap!
Ted: And before she was your best friend, what was she? Oh, that’s right, one of my random skanks!
Robin: Hey!
Lily: Okay, yes Ted, this particular skank…
Robin: Hey!
Lily: … happened to work out but she is the skanky exception, not the skanky rule.
Robin: Okay, I am crying a little bit!

Love Marshall trying to distract from the fight with his singing!

Poor chef!

Marshall loosing it was awesome! Poor girl!

Marshall reveals he comforts all of Ted’s ex-girlfriends after they have been dumped:
Marshall: And at first I was completely sympathetic, but damn it Ted, over the years you’ve made me cynical:
Marshall comforting a girl in 2005:
Marshall: You know, I’m just gonna go get us some Rocky Road and we are just gonna sit here and talk it out till it makes sense.
Marshall comforting a girl in 2007:
2007 girl: I just thought we had something special, you know?
Marshall: Me too, yeah, but life goes on sweetheart.
Marshall comforting a girl in 2009:
2009 girl: I don’t know how I’m going to put my life back together after this!
Marshall: Oh, shut up!
Ted: Well, I’m sorry my search for true love has been such an inconvenience for you guys. You know what? Maybe your precious pictures would look a lot better if I wasn’t in them!
Barney:[walking into frame] They would look a lot better if Marshall wasn’t in them.
Marshall: Cheap shot, cheap shot.

Jennifer Lopez! J. Lo! Jenny from the hood! Jenny with the big but grande! Did not like her dress at the Oscars last week, loved Neil Patrick Harris’s suit though, very dazzling! He did a great musical number!

Haha, I love puns! Flashback in the bar:
JLo: Nothing sexier than a man in a fine cravat.
Barney: Except for a woman who appreciates a fine cravat.
JLo: How about we just call it a tie?
[Switch scene to Barney talking to the cop]
Barney: He, he, he. You see a cravat is a kind of tie.
The cop: I get it.

Marshall and Lily meet Don:
Marshall: Okay, Robin! That guy is awesome! He is funny, he is smart, he’s handsome! You gotta scoop him up before somebody else does!
Robin: I hope you are not talking about you.

Funny:
Barney: I couldn’t be more unhappy. All night long she is hot and heavy for me, I get her back to my place and she just bolts? I mean, at least when I run out on a girl I have the common courtesy to sleep with her first. It’s called manners!

JLo and Barney are so funny!:
JLo: Is this cashmere?
Barney: Cashmere? This is handspun Virgin Marino! The fibers in this suit are less then twelve microns thick!
JLo: Twelve microns? [In a sexy voice] I love a tiny fiber…
Barney: [In a sexy voice] Well, you’re in luck; cause mine is the tiniest… And the more you touch it, the softer it gets…

Hilarious title of a book! “Of course you’re still single, take a look at yourself you dumb slut!”

Barney fainting was so funny!

Lol, the phone rings:
Robin: Hello?
Don: Hey, Robin.
Robin: Oh, hey Don.
Don: Listen uh… do you wanna go out Saturday night?
Robin: Saturday night?
Marshall: [Completely excited] Is he asking you out? Say yes, say yes!
Robin: Don, uhm, listen it’s really sweet of you to ask and you’re a great guy…
[Marshall runs in to use the kitchen phone]
Marshall: [In a girl's voice] Yes, I will go out with you!
Don: Robin are you okay?
Marshall: Uhm, I just have a little cold, that’s probably what you are hearing but Saturday night sounds great! We can even go to a steak house and you can bring home some prime rib for my friend Marshall! Okay, love you, gotta go, bye!

Robin and JLo were funny, especially Robin starting with her “but, uhm…” and then JLo doing her evil spell on Mike. Poor Mike…

JLo: This Barney needs to be taught a lesson. You say the word and I will destroy him.
Robin: What do you mean?
JLo: I can use the power of no to break your friend Barney, just say the word.
Robin: Come on, that stuff doesn’t really work, does it?
[Mike walks in with a tray full of cups]
Mike: I didn’t know what you wanted so I got you a cappuccino, an espresso, a latte, a decaf… Oh, hi Robin. And this is a Turkish coffee.
JLo: [whispering] Thank you Mike.

Robin: Look, I know it was stupid but you have to understand, back then I was still really upset about the breakup; I was going through my mourning period. There was a lot of scotch and a lot of long nights at the shooting ranch.
Lily: I hope those weren’t the same nights!
Robin: It’s not like I remember all of them.

I agree with Marshall, she was mourning? His bang dance and song was catchy! Gonna have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day!

Ted is helping Barney:
Ted: I’m talking 17 dates worth of romance wrapped up into one incredible night! I’m talking about a Superdate.
Barney: A Superdate?
Ted: Mm.
Barney: That sounds kind of lame, what if we call it a Megadate?
Ted: If you want my help it’s a Superdate!
Barney: Oh, alright!

Eventually they break into an amazing musical number! Great voice Ted!

Ted and Marshall talking about Robin’s feeling, freaking out was hilarious! And the bang song again! Bang, bang, bang!

Marshall punching the head of the doll was hilarious; they all like Star Wars so much, he must be very angry!

Naaw, Robin crying! Sad! Sad! No!  Don’t cry!

Barney: So, you’re sure you are not upset?
Robin: Of course I’m upset Barney! Don’t you see how constantly talking about your conquests makes me feel like I’m just another number to you?
Barney: But you’re not just another number to me!
Robin: And now you’re taking Anita, who you barely know, out on this amazing date when I never got treated that way. It just, it just sucks that’s all, it just sucks.
Barney: Wow, I knew I was bad at being a boyfriend but I had no idea I would be so much worse at being an ex-boyfriend. I’m sorry. What can I do to make it up to you?
Robin: Nothing Barney, you have already proven that I’m not important to you.
Barney: Stop that, I’m serious! Ask me for anything!
Robin: Eh, okay, uhm… don’t sleep with Anita.
Barney: Done!
Robin: Barney, of course you’re gonna sleep with her; why else would you be taking her on this Superdate?
Barney: She’s not going on a Superdate, Robin. You are.

Naaw!

JLo getting angry and Barney throwing himself into the river was so funny!

Beautiful ending with Don and Robin and Barney!

And the bang song! With a banjo! Woho!

Hehe Lady Gaga reference:
Ted: Well guys, tonight is the night! I am inviting Tiffany up to my place to see my antique camera collection.
Barney: It’s Ted’s bate.
Lily: Bate?
Barney: A true gentleman invents a pretense to lure an honorable lady into his apartment, some item of interest or beauty you can both pretend to admire for five minutes before she hops on your disco stick!

Hehe:
Barney: Yeah, bate is tricky! It has to be something interesting enough to get the girl upstairs but not so interesting so it overpowers the night. I found that a slot machine was too fun and a trampoline turned out to be too dangerous. But then I found the perfect bate! A teacup pig.

Naaw! How cute!

Hahaha! Marshall as a teenager was the best! Especially because it was so obvious he couldn’t pass as a teenager!

Scooter! Yey!

Lol, Lily talking about how her old boyfriend Scooter still has feelings for her:
Lily: Yeah it’s still sometimes weird when I see him at work.
Marshall: Wait, what?
Lily: Scooter works in the school cafeteria, we have talked about this!
Marshall: We most certainly have not talked about this!
Lily: Yes we have! I have mentioned it tons of times! Lunch lady Scooter!
Marshall: I thought you were referring to some sort of long overdue device that carries around those poor underappreciated lunch ladies!
Lily: This explains a lot.
Flashback:
Lily: Lunch lady Scooter was there again today.
Marshall: Oh yeah, did you jump on that thing? Give it a ride?
Lily: No!
Marshall: Really? If it was me I’d be riding that scooter all day long till I broke that thing in half!

Naaw, Scooter is so sad looking! Puppy eyes!

Barney: Ted! These are some of the hottest girls I have ever seen! And they all work with Tiffany?
Ted: Yep.
Barney: There can only be one explanation for this! Ted! Is Tiffany a ph…pharmaceutical sales rep?
Ted: Yeah, how did you know that?
Barney: And you never thought to mention that!!!!

Barney walking Ted through the profession of hot girls through history was so hilarious!

Love how giddy Ted gets around Tiffany, so funny!

Barney: Dude, ditch Tiffany and join the Barnacle in a pharma-free-for-all! Side effects may include loss of clothing, rug burn, shortness of breath and sore abdominals the next morning. What in the world is… up!

Barney is in heaven:
Barney[to Ted]: Aint’ no party like a pharma-girl party, cause a pharma-girl party don’t stop! Dude! I have already hooked up with three of them! Fantasmo! Plus my cholesterol is down, my restless legs syndrome is cured, I have never felt more alive!

Haha, funny Robin:
Robin: What? I am not keeping Mike on the hook!
Ted: You are Captain Hook!
Robin: Dude, I’m a girl, girl parts are like a spider web, sometimes you’re gonna catch stuff you don’t want!

Poor Henrietta!

Lily and the teacup pig were so funny… and so cute! But that is probably because of the pig! And Marshall’s reaction to Scooter was funny as well!

Barney: Last night I was with this pharma-girl who was so hot you should call a doctor if you don’t have an erection for more than four hours! Am I right people?!
Robin: Yeah, there are no people [here], just the girl you most recently dated.

Love Barney’s tantrum after realizing pharma-girls are not always hot anymore.

Poor Mike!

Barney on drugs in the last scene was epic! The best part of the whole episode, and it was a really, really great episode!

When Lily and Marshall forget to fix up Ted on a blind date for Valentine’s Day, they use one of Barney’s many discarded girls to see if they may become Ted’s future wife. Meanwhile, Robin’s obnoxious colleague invites her to a party at his apartment, on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, Monday, Feb. 8 (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

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!

Cute bunny!

It is so annoying when you can hear your phone ring without it actually ringing!

Don did the naked man!

Barney as Gollum was awesome!
Barney: [sounding exactly like Gollum] This phone is cursed! Cursed I tell you!

This episode was over all Super Great! 10 out of 10!
