Bon Odenkirk as Arthur Hobbs is such an underrated character. I LOVE his acting throughout the series.

Day 3 : The hot one
Karen won "made to be hated" in Ted's love interests. Now who's the hottest in Ted's love interests (they can overlap, for example Tracy is the fan favourite but can be The hot one aswell!)
There is a 2nd photo with all of Ted's love interests for reference
*Remember this is only for Ted's love interests and not HIMYM characters in general*

Victoria was right all along
Sometimes I just wish we skipped all the development past season 7, because with everything else the ending made perfect sense, it has always been about Robin.
Ted’s wedding with Stella failed partly because he wanted to bring Robin no matter what
His wedding with Victoria failed because he could never let go of Robin.
3rd slide is one of my fav scenes, Milk episode. Ted realizing no matter how perfect the woman of his dream could be, he just wanted Robin.
Perfect scene, with Mother of Pearl - Roxy Music playing.

Why does Lily get so much crap while Marshall is basically worshipped like a god, even though marshall also did some selfish acts?
I mean the san fransisco rhing was not great from Lily, but also had a lot to do with her freaking out.
But she also supported him through law school. was supportive by encouraging marshall to take a less paid job for his happiness at multiple times etc.
And if we get to selfish or bad decisions, marshall also
- lied that he had a lot of work when he didnt so lily decided against rome at first
- lied about the whole judge thing
- made the decision to host a huge work party at his place without considering lily's feelings about this
- lied to ted about being fired (together with barney)
- called robin a slut
- voluntarily chose corporate life first cause of the paycheck and participated in barneys insane pranks
I mean if we want to count peas maybe lily "behaved badly" in a few more instances than marshall, but i just don't get this "lily bad marshall a saint" mentality when obviously both of them are imperfect people and make some mistakes or have moral grey areas.
I mean basically Lily gets crap for wanting to chase her artist dreams while marshall is cheered on in his whole journey of chasing his dreams.

"The robot falls in love"
I rewatched Season 2 Episode 16, "Stuff," and I just realized that this, like many other moments in the first three seasons, is a comedic moment that actually very subtly foreshadows Barney's future with romance.
Barney is like a robot in his apparent beliefs about romance and sentimentality, but he starts feeling these things himself, and specifically with Robin, he struggles to compute or reconcile them with the way he thinks he needs to be. "Feelings inside! Oh no!"
In the second robot scene, instead of speaking robotically, he's actually singing, and about "the One," no less. Not only is this amazing foreshadowing, but it hints at Barney's buried romantic desires; why else would he depict himself this way in a play he performs just to prove a point to Lily?
The show may not have ended perfectly, but its foreshadowing and continuity are unparalleled!

Hot take: This might be Barney’s all time greatest scam/strategem/ bamboozle/con/hustle/hoodwink/gambit/flim flam
So for me - based in no small part to the delayed payoff - was his Shinjitsu con on Marshall. When you consider that he didn’t even know what reward he wanted yet but laid the groundwork anyway and waited yearsss to reap the rewards. I meannnn gotta respect the effort and eventual payoff
😂

Funniest joke in the series
Pretty much everything Barney says and does (like the tvs lmao) in this episode. But especially this scene. “and now I’m smoking!” *zoom out to Lily’s class*
second place to me - I can’t remember the episode, but Barney calls Marshall from work to do something, Marshall says no and Barney acts fine, but when he hangs up, he destroys everything on his desk. Robin is like “oh my god!” 😆😆😆
Everyone in the cast is funny, but Barney just wins to me. Also sorry about the volume thing in the pic; I couldn’t find one, so I took a screenshot from a YouTube video.

I just realized that the whole show is really misogynist - not only Barney
I mean even excluding barney, every single one of the characters slut shame young girls who get drunk and have sex with strangers, and call them bimboes (or skanks/hoes....) - despite the fact that even "good guy" ted actually has a lot of meaningless one night stands and even uses some of barneys tricks to get laid, which is never called out even by marshall.
That show is basically the epitome of the "madonna vs whore" complex, where any girl who would sleep with a guy the day they met is a slut, while the main women in the show, and the women who "deserve" to be love interests dont have sex without a meaningful interpersonal relationship (the one time robin had sex with the naked man, marshall slut shamed her and she felt obligated to take the guy on another date to prove she wasn't a slut).
And then the "meaningful" love interests.... stella hasnt had sex in 7 years, nora didnt have sex with barney for ages, tracy was basically a saint who only had two sex partners before ted. I mean ok quinn was a stripper but she was kind of an exception cause she still "didnt fall for stupid tricks" and used her body to strip guys of their money. Actually with quinn, the show says that gullible drunk girls are less of human beings than a conniving person... basically propagating the psychopathic mindset of "the smarter and more devious, the better".
Plus the whole "any girl dumb enough to fall for barney is at fault herself", while not all of barneys tricks are outright absurd - plus it is not a crime to get drunk and therefore gullible, i mean the protagonists got drunk plenty of times themselves.
I mean as far as i remember, in the end of the episode marshall takes the word back but still, nobody in the whole show ever calls it out that a woman who has a drunk one night stand is still a normal human being

Look at this man's reaction to making Robin happy!!!
This is so damn cute. I’m becoming more and more of a Robin and Barney fan on rewatch. He cared for her so much, and I really think they could've worked out, warts and all. Wish we had a chance to see them in a happy marriage.

A much different show
I’m guessing Ted would be more “goofball” guy than hopeless romantic guy.
