Burger this is it yes it's exactly the same it's the best burger in New York number nine the final page Barney's getting engaged while season 8 of How I Met Your Mother is mostly dragged out and uneventful this hourlong episode is comprised of laughs heart and Revelations the rain of terror is back the final page sees Ted unveil the gnb building to Ted although he still can't impress his old architecture Professor this is hideous the episode's real highlight however is Robin realizing her true feelings for Barney upon learning he's proposing to her Nemesis Patrice nobody
asked for your help Patrice that proposal is merely a ruse so Barney can declare his love for robin though amounting to one of the show's most most romantic moments and best twist endings Robin shotski will you marry me number eight spoiler alert Kathy talks a lot as tight as a group of friends might be every person has a quirk that gets on everyone's nerves and just like that the illusion was shattered wow she just never shuts up does she whether it's chewing loudly oh my God l what are you eating gravel oh I know right
it sounds like cup links going up a vacuum cleaner overdosing on catchphrases oh see you can't think of anything cuz I'm awesome or constantly correcting others technically water is a drink really Professor you drink it is that how water works because I was just going to smear it on my skin and hope I absorbed it you might not notice these habits at first once your eyes are opened however that person may be spoiled forever oh he doesn't see it if we point it out we're going to ruin her for him Ted and his gang share
such an unbreakable friendship that they ultimately Overlook each other's annoying idiosyncrasies in the wake of Marshall officially becoming a lawyer La the same sadly cannot be said about Ted's latest girl Kathy and her deaf fiance do you guys like popovers because I love popovers they're like cant they're a little bit less flaky and they're kind of round hey they have strawberry jam number seven how your mother met me kids the night your aunt Lily and Uncle Marshall got engaged the night I met Aunt Robin was the night of your mom's 21st birthday after eight years
of buildup the show finally introduced us to the mother I was beginning to think you'd forgotten about me audiences instantly fell in love with Kristen mot's lovable performance but this episode fully flushes her character out I have not been sitting around I have been hard at work I think I'm about to enter my robots doing track and field events period it's a very exciting time the story follows the mother over the course of 9 years as she deals with romance death and life the episode incorporates numerous How I Met Your Mother callbacks that range from
hilarious to moving as Ted and the mother almost cross paths frequently this is my thing it most certainly is your thing now please cover your thing up if you didn't believe these two were destined for each other already the mother's rendition of La Rose will convince you close and hold me fast this magic SP you cast this [Music] number six the naked man this is my move it's called the naked man How I Met Your Mother offered us plenty of insightful romance advice over the years although it is yet to be confirmed if the naked
man actually works two out of three times this doesn't really work two out of three times guaranteed if you're looking for a doomed first date to turn into a one night stand though the odds just might be in your favor it's shock and awe just bear in mind that getting thrown out on the street nude is a possibility hello hi is uh is Barney there no oh my God what's the matter with you get out Barney learns that the hard way in this episode's hysterical conclusion but he's still unwilling to compromise his fashion principles meaning
he'd rather go streaking than wear a cheap suit oh thank God [Applause] [Music] number five Showdown my father is Bob Barker in addition to the mother's identity the identity of Barney's father proved to be one of the show's greatest mysteries for several seasons while the rest of the gang preps for Marshall and Lily's impending nuptials I'm a fairy princess AR you skinny for my dress this episode plays up Barney's daddy issues as he appears on the Price's right and prepares to meet his alleged biological father Bob Barker mom who's my dad oh the other kids
at school know who their dad is who's mine oh I don't know that guy the setup of course makes leeway for inspired humor oh oh I didn't realize that's what it was can you do them again yeah course but it also digs deeper into to Barney as a character whether Bob Barker is truly his father or Barney is in severe denial the episode makes you want to give him a big hug well it's just if you've lived your whole life thinking one thing it would be pretty devastating to find out that wasn't true I just
don't think Bob could have handled it number four pilot good then as your best friend I suggest we play a little game I like to call have you met Ted no no no no we're not playing have you met Ted How I Met Your Mother is all about strong buildup and unexpected payoff wow that is one badass blue french horn yeah mhm sort of looks like a Smurf penis its pitch perfect pilot takes us by surprise several times as Ted Falls for a striking woman and there she was it's like a great romantic comedy condensed
to 30 minutes think I'm in love with you what what what then just when the audience thinks they have the show figured out the woman in question is revealed to be Aunt Robin because that kids is the true story of how I met your Aunt Robin Aunt Robin while the road to the mother would be a long long story this first episode hooked us in with its enjoyable characters unique premise and fun twists okay meet me at the bar in 15 minutes and suit up number three the pineapple incident drink drink drink this is a
super Brave drink drink drink this brain is Unstoppable this brain and that's all I remember this classic episode was the most watched one of the series until the finale and it finds Ted waking up after a night of drinking with an unknown woman in his bed his ankle sprained and most peculiarly of all a pineapple on his nightstand damn it Trudy what about the pineapple sorry the Mysteries just keep piling on as Barney is discovered in the bathtub hello why are you sleeping in our tub uh the porcelain keeps the suit from wrinkling the episode
has one terrific payoff after another as Ted attempts to piece together the previous evening through the Recollections of others Trudy my name is Trudy in the end everything has an explanation except for that delicious pineapple Origins if you really want to know however a deleted scene from season 9 Reveals All what's with the pineapple oh it's an old Sea Captain's tradition to put a pineapple on your porch as a symbol of hospitality I keep one here and one outside my townhouse in the city number two the Playbook The Playbook contains every scam con hustle Hoodwink
Gambit Flim Flam straty and bamboozle I've ever used or ever hope to use to pick up chicks and give them the business Barney Stinson is one of the most uproarious sitcom characters ever part of what makes him so funny is that he's so unpredictable and enigmatic much like a magician really a genie comes out of it only if you rub it hard enough we rarely know when he's being sincere and when he's playing somebody I am so sorry I guess this break Up's been tougher on me than I thought Barney keeps us on our toes
more than ever in this episode where he introduces us to The Playbook a book full of plans to get women into bed to perform the Lorenzo Von matter horn here's what you'll need basic knowledge of website design and a very unique fake name while every play amounts to Splendid comedy it's not one of these is a cheap trick except for the Cheap Trick the scuba diver just might be Barney's best scam yet with an outcome so brilliant and well constructed that we won't spoil it here and it is on before we suit up for our
