How I Met Your Mother	comment	In the year 2030, Ted Mosby recounts to his kids the story of how he and their mother met and fell in love. Although each episode is ostensibly an important step on the way to Ted meeting "The Mother," it seems Ted is the kind of person who uses this basic premise as an excuse to ramble off onto hundreds of other, completely unrelated anecdotes. For nine seasons' worth of episodes, Ted discusses the modern day in a nostalgic way and describes the strong bond between Ted and his group of friends.In the year 2005, Ted (Josh Radnor) is an architect living in New York with his best friend, aspiring lawyer Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel). When Marshall announces that he is getting engaged to his college sweetheart, Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan), it prompts Ted to take an introspective look at his life and decide that he is finally ready to settle down and start searching for "The One," much to the disgust of his other "friend" and serial womanizer Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris).Enter Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), a TV news reporter from Canada with whom Ted falls in love at first sight and manages to scare off just as quickly. Though she is affirmatively not the destined Mother of Ted's future children, she befriends Lily and goes on to become an integral part of the group. Over the next decade, the five friends struggle with romance, careers, lost dreams, and lives that did not turn out the way they expected, but in retrospect led them all to the ending they hoped for.This sitcom uses its Framing Device and narrator (Bob Saget, uncredited) to surprisingly creative effect, admitting to parts where the narrator honestly had no firsthand recollection of the events, doing very swift flashbacks to build up to a punchline or recalling events out-of-order in order to create twists and surprises that achieve maximum impact (every method can be seen in the memorable episode "The Pineapple Incident"). In other episodes, the framing device allows Ted to retell stories involving foul curse words or drugs by substituting each with an Unusual Euphemism for his children's benefit.The show at first feels very similar to a regular sitcom but is actually a mixture of both single camera and three cameras. There is extensive outdoor location filming in addition to the regular sitcom-style sets. The narrative gimmick gives the show an edge in allowing them to portray a fairly complex universe of seemingly unimportant events and myriad callbacks. The show went 9 seasons, covering the years 2005-2013. The first eight seasons were contemporary and in approximate Real Time. The last season centered around the weekend Ted and the Mother met, although utilizing plenty of the show's standard Anachronic Order of events.A spinoff named How I Met Your Dad was announced as a gender-flipped version of the show in the fall of 2013, following unrelated characters and produced by the same people. A pilot was shot but was not picked up, and the project spent many years in Development Hell before finally receiving a straight-to-series order from Hulu in 2021, now titled How I Met Your Father and starring Hilary Duff.You can also vote for best episodes here.

Pretty much every single episode has at least a few callbacks to previous episodes, the show is rife with unlampshaded running jokes, and sometimes events in an episode will explain or go into detail about a scene or line of dialogue from a previous one (e.g., pretty much everything involving Marshall, Ted, and Lily's college years). Word of God tells us that their greatest regret was the Ted serving as narrator saying they never learned where the pineapple came from. They also get to make heavy use of foreshadowing to turn this on its head, because they knew where a lot of the characters would end up in their lives.

How I Met Your Mother / int_1869b4b1	type	Unreliable Narrator
How I Met Your Mother / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: While you can generally trust what Bob Saget says (per the show's creators), Future Ted usually edits his story to his kids, cutting out some of the stuff he did, adding parts that weren't there before, or exaggerates things (usually for comic effect). Even when he is trying to tell the truth, he sometimes misremembers things. Future Ted will also admit when the events he recalls are questionable in their veracity, such as events he wasn't actually there for: The series finale explains the real reason why Ted is telling the story to his kids which explains why his narration tends to skew in certain directions. He is trying to explain to his kids why Robin is such a great person without making it seem that he regrets marrying the Mother instead of Robin. A fan theory is that Ted's narrations are especially unreliable when describing Barney's promiscuity and relationships, something he briefly admits to doing when describing Barney and Robin's mutual personal declines in "The Rough Patch". For example, in Season 8, Barney sharply chides Ted when he starts to offer him advice about Robin, reminding him that he's the one marrying her, in a tone that suggests this was a much more longstanding problem than Future!Ted had described. Specualtion also rises over the "The Wedding Bride": Was Ted exaggerating how bad the movie made him look? Or did the movie actually show his relationship with Stella had serious issues that he either ignored or tired to retrospectively turn in to positives?

How I Met Your Mother / int_1f52ab08	type	Unreveal Angle
How I Met Your Mother / int_1f52ab08	comment	Unreveal Angle: The narration refers to the Mother (Ted's future wife) many times, yet her face is never seen and her voice is never heard. Her ankle is briefly glimpsed in "Girls vs. Suits", and a dark figure carrying a yellow umbrella (which signifies the Mother) is seen in "Wait for It" and "No Tomorrow". Two episodes showed Ted's wedding, with his face glowing in happiness, but his bride is covered under her veil or she's shown from the back ("Milk" and "Lucky Penny"). She eventually appears in full at the end of the eighth season finale, "Something New". In "Slutty Pumpkin", Ted reminisces about a Halloween party four years ago where he met a girl in the sexiest pumpkin costume. (The gang calls her the Slutty Pumpkin.) Supposedly the costume was carved in strategic places and the girl was amazing. She's only shown from her back, and the strategically carved costume is not shown in full either. The creators hoped to bring her back, and wanted to keep casting open to make her easier to slot into whichever season they put her in. In "Matchmaker", Marshall and Lily confront a creature living in the apartment, apparently a cockroach-mouse hybrid — a cockamouse. The creature is heard and we see the characters' reactions, but that's about it. Finally, it flies away. In the several early episodes of season 2, Ted keeps talking about a skyscraper that his boss designed. It's supposed to look like a giant penis. We see a head architect unveiling the model, everybody in the office claps except for Ted who is super confused. Other times characters are shown reacting to it, for example Lily and Robin. The design is never revealed in the show, but later the production released a picture of it.

There are also two episodes where the theme tune is performed by members of the cast: In "Hopeless", as part of Barney's attempt to make his friends seem more interesting to his dad, he tells Jerry that he and his friends are in a band, cutting to the whole group performing the theme tune together. In "46 Minutes", when Marshall and Lily briefly leave the group, Barney takes command of the group, performing an altered form of the theme tune called "How I Met Your Barney". Later in the same episode, this happens again when Stripper Lily and Not Marshall join the group, but this time it's a Russian version of the tune.

How I Met Your Mother / int_224c9aef	comment	Laugh Track: Averted, then used straight. Early seasons taped episodes without a Studio Audience, then screened the completed episode to an audience and recorded the natural laughter (thus, not technically a Laugh Track, which is pre-recorded laughter). As of season six (and possibly earlier), Neil Patrick Harris has stated they've switched to canned laughter. In any case, the show is one of the few critically acclaimed TV comedies of its era to contain audible audience laughter (as opposed to the entirely canned-laughter-free critics' favorites like The Office, 30 Rock, Scrubs, Arrested Development and so on).

"Come again for Big Fudge" is said by at least three characters. Season 8 also gives us "You are X" - "How dare you!... what is that?"

How I Met Your Mother / int_23330a99	comment	Marshall's obsession with the supernatural and constant belief that mundane events have supernatural explanations. This includes him pulling out a big book of mundane things written by crazies and, very dramatically, saying a date followed by this ridiculous thing. Ex. "November 15, 1843, a young couple looks out to the mountains and sees a bright white light floating around. They took a photograph of it, but the light didn't show in the picture. They deleted that picture (shown here) and agreed never to speak of it again. He's also quite the fan of cryptobeasts such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.

How I Met Your Mother / int_23f1384a	comment	Babies Make Everything Better: In Season 2, Barney and James are having a tiff over James getting married and leaving Barney behind. Barney refuses to support James, until James reveals that he's adopting a baby as well. And, well, everything's better. Future Ted reveals that attempting to get pregnant and the birth of Marvin got Lily and Marshall to quit smoking, respectively. In the season 6 finale, Marshall is going through a pretty serious rough spot (his father died recently, he's unemployed, he botched a job interview). But when Lily tells him she's pregnant, all that is forgotten and he's happy again. In season 9's "Daisy", Marshall and Lily are having one of the worst fights of their lives and are disagreeing whether to go to Rome or stay in New York. The Reveal that Lily is pregnant again prompts Marshall to stop fighting and insist they go with Lily's suggestion, Rome. In the series finale, after the Snap Back reverts his Character Development, the one thing to make Barney mature and have a fulfilling life is having a new daughter, instantly giving him a great deal of maturity and fulfillment.

How I Met Your Mother / int_260926c3	comment	Failure Is the Only Option: Basically Marshall and Lily are the only two of the five who have a Romantic Relationship and stay that way. Ted and Robin (and Barney) have had seemingly well developed romances that have failed in the end, which sometimes seem to make the show flirt with Status Quo Is God. But still, they seem to only be really fortunate in getting one night stands. Note that the entire show is told in flashback by Future-Ted, and as of the "present day" all three of Ted, Robin and Barney have gotten married. Thus, it is a Foregone Conclusion that this trope will eventually be subverted.

How I Met Your Mother / int_2791ae1e	comment	Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: Done by everyone at different points. Barney shed his longer, hippie-like locks in favor of a sleeker look when his girlfriend dumped him for a businessman. Lily had stark black hair in high school and college, while in the modern-day it varies between red and dark brown. In late high school/early college Marshall had very flat, matted hair. In his teens, he sported a mullet. Ted had slightly longer hair but it was very curly, almost to the point of looking permed. Everyone's hair except for Barney changes in the flash-forwards, to more conservative "parent" haircuts. In particular, Ted has a more businesslike combed and parted hair (unlike his "bedhead" look of the present), Marshall is balding and Lily has short, frizzy blonde-ish hair. In the flashforward to when Marshall wins the election to State Attorney General (the campaign being the reason for his hair loss), Lily is wearing her hair in a typical "politician's wife" style.

Naturally his friends being the nosy-nellies that they are (even lampshaded by Robin's current therapist boyfriend) Google her instead. Commence them freaking out and trying to get Ted to look at what they found. He finally caves in, and instead of it being awful, it turns out the girl is a rocket-scientist-baby-saving-extremely-wealthy-miracle woman. So Ted blows the date by having an inferiority complex.

How I Met Your Mother / int_2d8da79	comment	Clueless Aesop: The episode "Double Date" ends with Ted ending it with a girl because he thinks that you shouldn't just accept your partner's flaws, but should naturally like them. "Farhampton" has Klaus telling Ted of Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz, and says that if you don't know that you love someone the second you meet them, it's not true love. In "Bad Crazy" it's said that if a woman is acting crazy, the fault lies with the man that she's dating. This is one of the show's only examples of The Unfair Sex. Specifically, Robin accuses Ted of being responsible for Jeannette's insane behavior because he's been sending mixed signals to her... despite the fact that Jeannette stalked Ted for over a year and even started a fire so that she could meet him. The woman was obviously crazy long before she and Ted ever started dating. The unfortunate tendency the characters have to leave their decisions up to the "universe," rather than make a choice on an issue. Sure, everyone, don't bother to make a real decision, fate will do that for you! Luckily, towards the end of the series the group starts rejecting that philosophy and gets more of a Screw Destiny attitude.

When they have a fallout due to Lily's debt, they still decide to buy the house anyway. Ted mentions in his narration that Marshall says he committed three great mistakes in his life and buying that house was the worst one. Through the following episodes they fall in deep debt fixing one thing after the other and making financial mistakes, it's not until late in season 3 when things start getting better as Ted sells his car to pay part of their debt.

How I Met Your Mother / int_35e9f6f8	comment	Executive Excess: Whilst his exact job is left unrevealed until late in the series, it's clear from the start that Barney Stinson is a senior figure in Goliath National Bank. Likewise, the man has pretty much dedicated his life to seducing and sleeping with as many women as is humanly possible, boasting to have slept with over two hundred at one point and regularly creating massively complex schemes to convince his latest target to sleep with him (afterwards he rarely sees them again). He's also revealed to be a compulsive (although highly skilled) gambler.

How I Met Your Mother / int_35fb9016	comment	Gratuitous German: Provided by Klaus during his brief stint in season eight and once by Heidi Klum in "The Yips". For Klaus, it's mostly just dropping a single word that can be understood in context (mein liebling! = my darling!) or is pretty widely known (Schnitzel, wunderbar, Kindergarten), but there's some that just goes over the top for comedy. Klum only provides the first of the following examples. Ach du meine GÃ¼te. Nichts klappt mehr, Ã¼berhaupt gar nichts mehr. So eine ScheiÃŸe. (presented as a single word for the yips, but actually a sentence spoken very quickly) - Oh my god, nothing works anymore, nothing at all. What a shit. Lebenslangersschicksalsschatz - Lifelong treasure of destiny. (For Ted, The Mother) Beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand - Thing that's almost what you want but not quite. (For Ted, Robin) Schlauchmachendejungen - Hose that makes the boy. (penis) (For Ted, his penis) Sie sprechen deutsch? Das ist wunderbar! Ich habe keine Freunde, die deutsch sprechen in Amerika, das macht mich so einsam. So einsam. - You speak German? That's wonderful! I have no friends in America who speak German; that makes me so lonely. So lonely.

How I Met Your Mother / int_38d02d44	type	Batman Gambit
How I Met Your Mother / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: Barney's attempts to seduce women sometimes involve weeks of planning. Some examples: "The Scuba Diver," a play from the episode of the same name. Barney introduces the gang to his Playbook, a book of schemes he's invented to pick up women. He then uses a scheme from the Playbook to hit on Lily's coworker, making her angry enough to steal it. Barney arrives at the apartment later, wearing a scuba suit, and announces to the gang that he's going to pull one more scam called the Scuba Diver. A scam not found in the Playbook. They follow him to the bar, he doesn't elaborate but points out his target, a hot girl standing at the counter. This causes Lily to go and warn the girl about him and his Playbook, and the girl listens as Barney's friends explain his many schemes and tricks to her. Eventually they all go to Barney and demand to know what the scheme is. Barney starts to explain the trick, but then launches into an explanation about his deep insecurities, causing the gang to feel bad for him. Together, they convince the girl that beneath the tricks he's a great guy, and she leaves the bar with Barney. After they leave, he sends Lily a text, revealing the page with the explanation of the Scuba Diver-the events of the episode. Epically, one (there have been many) of Barney's proposals involved planning out the events of that entire season just to get someone desperate enough to say "Yes." It works at first, but the manipulative nature of the proposal leads the girl to doubt. In any case, the play is called "The Robin." One episode ends with a twist that all the emotional drama Barney had been through that episode had been staged by him to guilt his friends into embarrassing themselves. The episode in question is "The Broath."

How I Met Your Mother / int_3b97fb10	type	Pursue the Dream Job
How I Met Your Mother / int_3b97fb10	comment	Pursue the Dream Job: Marshall Eriksen dreamt of being a lawyer so that he could help the environment. He had several well-paying corporate jobs, but ultimately decided to pursue his ideal job. However, after a big environmental case which ends up in a Pyrrhic Victory, he decided to become a judge which was approved in the Season 8 finale. Lily's dream career is Played With. She's a kindergarten teacher and fairly satisfied with her job. However, she would love to become a professional artist. Her work is quite nice, but only on amateur level. She goes to have professional classes in a selective art program and later tries selling some paintings, with mixed success. One episode was based on her trying to figure out what she would love to do with her career, and finally, she says she did figure it out: she starts her old-new job as a kindergarten teacher. However in Season 8, the Captain (Zoey's ex-husband) makes her realize she's wasting her art career. But later, he offers her a job as his art consultant which Lily eventually took. Ted's working his dream job as an architect, but for a while he's working on the corporate headquarters for Goliath National Bank, Barney's evil corporation, getting shut down on all his best ideas, so he quits to start his own firm, hoping to design interesting buildings for decent people.

How I Met Your Mother / int_3bc88a7f	comment	Foregone Conclusion: Most women are identified as "Not the mother" to the audience well before their relationship with Ted ends. Other times, Future!Ted simply tells the viewer how things will end and the story is how they will get there. Perhaps the most blatant example of this is Robin. Future Ted reveals in the very first episode that Robin is not the mother, but that doesn't stop Ted from chasing after her and declaring his love to her several times over the span of the show. In "The Pre-Nup" Future Ted announces that of the couples at that point of the story (himself and Victoria, Marshall and Lily, Barney and Quinn, and Robin and Nick), one of them will have broken up by the end of the following day... and then immediately admits that it obviously isn't Marshall and Lily, who have repeatedly been established as still being married in 2030.

How I Met Your Mother / int_4641581e	comment	Yo-Yo Plot Point: Ted and Robin's relationship. The first episode proved she wasn't the mother, but their relationship (or lack thereof) has become a major plot point many times. Robin's dissatisfaction with her career in Season 4. There was a pattern of Robin hating her current news reporter job, quitting it, discovering a supposedly-awesome jobâ€¦ and the cycle repeats with that job apparently being terrible too. Marshall's career follows a similar trend. Get a job doing environmental law, decide to go into soulless, corporate law for the money instead, get fed up and quit. Repeat. This happened in season 1 (turning down an internship with the NRDC for one at Altrucell), season 3 (turning down a job at the NRDC for one at a soulless law firm, then quitting), season 4 (giving in and getting a job at GNB, quitting), season 6 (get an internship at the NRDC, quitting to find something that pays more), and season 9 (getting a judgeship, turning it down to go to Italy and winds up going into soulless corporate law).

How I Met Your Mother / int_479f9ad0	comment	Characterization Marches On: Barney was always an unrepentant womanizer, but in the earlier seasons he was more of a "date a woman for a few weeks, then dump them" instead of priding himself on being the master of the one night stand. Women still hated him, but the group knew a few of his brief girlfriends. He constantly bemoaned the concept of doing anything other than seducing and bedding women and it becomes very significant in later seasons that he has next to no experience with relationships of any sort, however brief they may have been. This happens to Robin a lot as her personality didn't really get developed in the first season. For example, she doesn't seem to have any problems socializing with other women in the first episodes and she isn't that much of a tomboy.

How I Met Your Mother / int_4f4372e9	type	Early-Installment Weirdness
How I Met Your Mother / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: The show is generally pretty amazing for its continuity porn and call backs, but they were willing to change that for little things. The first few seasons would have a few quirks that worked themselves out, including some odd musical cues for scene changes similar to Seinfeld and the fact they regularly rotated to different spots in MacLarens instead of being bound and determined at their favorite booth. Also in the first episode, Ted mentions his perfect woman would be able to quote lines from Ghostbusters, but he doesn't mention anything about Star Wars, which would soon after be established as his all time favorite film. In episode 6, Robin mentions she never played team sports as a kid and only played tennis. Later episodes have her as an avid hockey player. Likewise, early in the first season, Marshall claims he's never been in a fight before, when it was later established he and his brothers used to fight, brutally, for fun. Although, if his attitude in "The Fight" is any indication, he might not have perceived this as fighting, but as mere rough housing. He also remarks that he learnt to box in the Army which is never established. In "Belly Full of Turkey," Robin makes fun of America being the leading nation in handgun violence. This was before later seasons established her as a borderline-reckless Gun Nut who learned to shoot at a young age and even threatens to shoot people a couple of times later in the series. Early on in the first season the son and daughter actually did occasionally interact with future Ted, mostly to complain about why he doesn't just skip directly to telling them how he met their mother. After that, all their appearances until near the end of the show's run were via Stock Footage. The Stormtrooper in Barney's apartment is actually a Clone Trooper in the early episodes. Barney is originally often the butt of the joke and seldom succeeds in his womanising. As the series progresses he becomes a "Master of the Universe"

How I Met Your Mother / int_50ca4422	type	Unresolved Sexual Tension
How I Met Your Mother / int_50ca4422	comment	Unresolved Sexual Tension: Typical given the very blatant romantic focus the series has always had, but also addressed in some fresh ways. Ted and Robin's relationship is ultimately a centerpiece of the show, starting from their initial date in the pilot, to when Ted gets his first serious girlfriend and all the way to finally getting together in the season one finale. When Ted is engaged to Stella, Robin doesn't claim to want him back but admits that those feelings they had for each other don't dissipate easily. They later agree to a "40 and unmarried" pact, a back-up in case neither find luck in romance. This all comes to a head in the seventh season, as Ted learns a hard truth that he isn't going to find "the one" if he's always wondering if things might work out with Robin. Barney and Robin are a more traditional example of this, with the requisite Unrequited Love Switcheroo and plenty of Ship Tease.

However, as Ted is telling the story, he pictures him much older and he's portrayed by Orson Bean who was 79. Ted dates Carly, and while they don't fit this trope (he's in his early 30s, she's 21), she seems to only be dating him because she thinks he's really old (remarking that he "still goes at it like he's in his 50s"). She describes being turned on by watching 60 Minutes with him and playing shuffleboard.

They constantly play with the use of the narrator in how the story unfolds and in how the characters perceive a situation. One notable episode "Three Days of Snow" has Ted explain "This is a three day story" and we see three different plots going on simultaneously, only for a twist in that each story takes place on a different day. In another episode "No Tomorrow," Ted believes himself to be experimenting with the unusually fortuitous night he was having at a bar, but when Marshall shows him an accidental audio recording made of the evening it replays the evening where Ted's dialogue is the same but changed from curious and respectable to sleazy.

Still, there are occasional cracks in the "perfect" exterior. Lily's abandoning Marshall to go to San Francisco, and his admission years later that it still ate at him underneath that he and their son Marvin might be Lily's second choice—what she settled for after her art plans didn't work out, underlies their relationship through the series.

Ted breaks up with every recurring girlfriend (including those teased as a potential mother) up to the current season: Ted and Victoria break up towards the end of season one. Stella leaves Ted at the altar early in season four. Lily leaves at the end of season one and breaks up with Marshall, but comes back in the next season and they get back together. Barney and Robin sleep together in season three and he falls in love with her. Eventually, they get together in season five.

How I Met Your Mother / int_69cc2a27	comment	Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Zigzagged with Barney: His mom mentions the fact that she both drank coffee and smoked cigarettes constantly whilst she was pregnant with both James and Barney. She also used to leave him home alone when he was a little kid for days at a time, later left him with a babysitter for three weeks while she slept around and "got passed around like a bong" and finally told Barney his father was Bob Barker, which he has deluded himself into believing is true, because his real father abandoned him. However, after her The Faceless status comes to an end, we're shown more positive flashbacks involving her playing Santa for Barney, writing him a letter from the Postmaster general to make him feel better about nobody coming to his birthday party, and just generally trying her best to love and support him as a single mother. Robin has a version of this. Her father clearly wanted a son (her middle name is "Charles"), and treated her accordingly. On top of that, his standard for raising a boy included a week where Robin was abandoned in the deep, cold woods, Rambo-style. However, she seems to have no idea that she's messed up and—in fact—thinks her childhood is perfectly normal and that everybody has these kinds of experiences.

How I Met Your Mother / int_6ae4dedd	type	The Unfair Sex
How I Met Your Mother / int_6ae4dedd	comment	In "Bad Crazy" it's said that if a woman is acting crazy, the fault lies with the man that she's dating. This is one of the show's only examples of The Unfair Sex. Specifically, Robin accuses Ted of being responsible for Jeannette's insane behavior because he's been sending mixed signals to her... despite the fact that Jeannette stalked Ted for over a year and even started a fire so that she could meet him. The woman was obviously crazy long before she and Ted ever started dating.

At the same time, part of his problem was that he gave her his, and she had told him she gave him hers, and for years they'd been mutually proud of each being the only person the other had ever had sex with.

How I Met Your Mother / int_6bb40be3	comment	Inner Monologue Conversation: Almost all of the characters will have "telepathic" conversations many times, consisting of them making eye contact and a voice-over of what they are "saying" with a tight shot on their faces as they convey the tone. In general, they get extremely accurate with specifics, with Lily catching on to what Marshall was saying while asleep. Ted and Barney doing this in "Three Days of Snow" is rather hilarious, in that all of Barney's thoughts is the Beach Boy's "Kokomo." In one notable instance, Marshall, Lily, Robin and Barney all have one around Ted (who is struggling to pick up what they are doing), where they coordinate a verbal wraparound to convince Ted to dye his hair blonde. Subverted during Lily's bridal shower when Robin telepathically pleads with her, to which Lily nods knowingly and then immediately turns out to have misunderstood everything.

In season one, he tries to break up a wedding by seducing the bride because he believed they were soulmates through a dating service.

How I Met Your Mother / int_70535937	comment	Flexibility Equals Sex Ability: Barney, in particular, loves this trope. Barney, trying to get Ted to go out after breaking up with Robin, suggests "Female acrobats from Montreal. Super flexible." Barney, trying to get straight-laced Ted to agree to have a bachelor party, tells Ted that he's lined up "three of the most physically and morally flexible exotic dancers you've ever seen." When Ted rejects the offer, Barney tells him he's still going to have his night with them anyway. Barney, this time trying to abstain from sex with anyone but one particular woman, is directly propositioned by a woman at Ted's wedding. He tries to wave her off, saying "There are currently no positions available" but her response of "I'm a yoga instructor. Every position is available" causes him to audibly grunt in arousal and frustration.

Events occurring when characters are drunk (or having just eaten a sandwich) are also played this way, with the beer goggle actions happening first and what really occurred coming later, though this falls under "Rashomon"-Style.

As such, Barney is also a fan of magic, and he uses his tricks to impress girls and set an 'INTERVENTION' banner on fire. It was an intervention to try and stop him doing so many magic tricks. Specifically, those involving fire. Both Jason Segel and NPH are very talented pianists. And of course, Robin Sparkles. The Mother herself. Cristin Milioti is a Tony-nominated Broadway actress and part of the reason she was cast was for her musical abilities.

How I Met Your Mother / int_74463f7f	comment	"Anger Is Healthy" Aesop: In "Happily Ever After", Ted is still recovering from being left at the altar by Stella, his friends try to support him but collectively agree that Ted needs to release his anger rather than bottle it up or try to be the bigger person. After trying and failing multiple times to get him angry, Ted finally loses his temper when he realized that Stella moved to New York to be with Tony, despite forcing Ted to move to New Jersey. Ted storms out of the car to confront Stella, he quickly comes to his senses when he sees how happy she and her daughter are to be with Tony and just turns around to leave, believing he should just let it go and move on with his life. Future episodes would show that Ted hasn't forgiven Stella for what she did and show that he's right to be angry with her. The primary lesson was that you don't have to choose between two extremes, you can just move on with your life than dwell on these feelings.

A lot of events and characters are only mentioned when they actually become relevant. The introduction of Doug from McLaren's seems to be based on this trope; Future Ted first mentions him under the impression he's talked about him before, but upon being told he hasn't, he explains who he is, and says he was always "around".

However, after her The Faceless status comes to an end, we're shown more positive flashbacks involving her playing Santa for Barney, writing him a letter from the Postmaster general to make him feel better about nobody coming to his birthday party, and just generally trying her best to love and support him as a single mother.

How I Met Your Mother / int_7b981966	type	Beast in the Building
How I Met Your Mother / int_7b981966	comment	Beast in the Building: In "The Goat" and "The Leap", Lily brings a goat named Missy home to her apartment after a farmer brought her in to show her kindergarten class and horrified them with stories of the slaughterhouse. Ted, however, was not expecting the goat, and it causes a lot of trouble for Ted's birthday, including putting Ted in some of the worst pain in his life when he attempts to confront her and she beats him up badly enough to get hospitalized. A Running Gag throughout multiple episodes involves the cockamouse, a creature Lily and Marshall discover in their apartment, never clearly seen by the viewer. In "Matchmaker", they argue at first over whether it was a mouse or a cockroach, only to come to the conclusion that it's some sort of mutant hybrid of the two. They make multiple attempts to kill or trap it before Marshall manages to throw it out the window... only to discover it can fly. They quickly shut the window. In "The Perfect Cocktail", Ted encounters it at The Arcadian when he and Zoey spend the night there, but while Zoey freaks out Ted is surprisingly chill. It has apparently had babies since then. In "Last Forever", a second sighting of the cockamouse convinces Lily and Marshall to sell their apartment (partly because Lily is pregnant).

How I Met Your Mother / int_85e7c12f	comment	Puppy-Dog Eyes: Okay, so you wouldn't expect a character like Barney to sincerely give the 'puppy dog eyes' look, but since he's played by NPH, he is REALLY effective at it. For example, in "Stuff" when he wants everyone to stay for his awful play; and also the ending of "Benefits" during the scene with Robin. Lily, especially when she regrets breaking up with Marshall in early season two. The fact that Alyson Hannigan is an absolute master of that look almost makes the idea that Marshall wasn't interested in getting back with her a plot hole. This is a major component of the second episode, where Ted is trying to recapture the magic he had with Robin. She repeatedly says she is not looking for anything too serious and can just tell Ted is enamored with her because he has that look in his eyes. Scooter, Lily's ex from high school, turns out to be even better at this than she is. Despite knowing he's still in love with her, Lily just can't bring herself to tell him that she's never going to come back to him no matter what. It's actually bad enough that Marshall himself is unable to tell Scooter off either, and ends up telling Scooter than the Ericson men have a history of dying early from heart problems and he might have a shot with Lily once Marshall is dead.

He was left with serious emotional baggage that would affect his future relationships. The show deconstructs Amicable Exes with Ted unconsciously pining after Robin after their amicable breakup and it has been pointed out by others how part of the reason why his relationships with other women fail is because part of Ted still wants to get together with Robin. It is likewise with Barney and this comes back to bite him when he slept with Robin while dating Nora. The show also appears to be deconstructing True Companions. While the gang undeniably care for each other and go to great lengths for each other, they are becoming more dysfunctional because they are meddling too much into each other's affairs. In fact, it's been pointed out to Ted that since he has such a close group of friends, it's near impossible to find someone to enter that bubble and many of his relationships have failed because of that reason.

How I Met Your Mother / int_8b6e8d7	comment	Anachronic Order: A very common trope on this show. Often a scene will happen, and then cut back to it later to show the scene from some other perspective. This happens in "Swarley," "Zip, Zip, Zip", and "The Leap". In a twist, all the storylines in the episode "Three Days of Snow" happen on different days. One interesting story arc is the beginning of "Ten Sessions" actually begins several episodes earlier with "The Platinum Rule." The inciting event for "The Platinum Rule" (Ted's mistaken date with Stella) is left as a Noodle Incident, until "Ten Sessions" which takes place over ten weeks and thus likely overlaps with other episodes. The subplot of season 6 episode "The Mermaid Theory" actually happened during the season 7 episode "Now We're Even".

Marshall's phone actually records scraps of Ted's evening, and those scraps speak badly about Ted as a person. For example, he was making out with a married woman or drank champagne, exploiting somebody else's bill. Marshall feels very uneasy and anxious about Ted's character and thinks Ted has not been himself lately. Played With in the episode with Marshal's dad funeral. Everybody of the Eriksen family shares their last moments with him and everybody has something very heart-warming to tell, except for Marshall. His father's last words to him were that he should watch a surprisingly good "Crocodile" Dundee III. However, he later finds a voice message from his father on his cell. He listens to it, but it's just a pocket dial, which makes Marshall even more depressed. However, as he listens to it, it's revealed that he actually found out that he was making a pocket phone call and said a couple of nice words, though of course he didn't know they would his last to Marshall. For the funeral speech, Marshall decides to go with the Dundeee story to make people smile and laugh tearfully, and he keeps his story about the pocket dial to himself and his closest friends.

Of the over two hundred women he's slept with, he has bedded four (Marshall's constitutional law professor, Quinn, Nora and Robin) by being himself. While Barney does claim that there are others who had full knowledge of who is was, this is never shown and usually they consent without full understanding of who he was and what his intentions were. His deceptions do fall into morally gray areas at times: for example, Barney once claimed his name was Ted Mosby and that he was an architect, but the woman he slept with only met Ted (not knowing his name) a few minutes before meeting Barney so while he did lie about his job and name, she still slept with him based on how he acted and seduced her. Also, given that most of the women he has sex with are shown to be comically unintelligent and gullible, and some appear to be mentally unstable, he is clearly taking advantage of them, even if he isn't coercing them into sex.

When Barney and Ted argue over who gets to press the button to demolish a building, Robin (Who dated both of them) chimes in that neither of them could even find "the button" and that the building would probably "fake an implosion to get it over with." Both of them then insist Robin was talking about the other.

The first thing on the list is to stop wearing clothes. However, they soon realize it's not as much fun as they thought it'd be, and is actually kind of cold. The first time Ted doesn't have a roommate, he also starts walking around his apartment naked, though this backfires when he spills hot soup on himself.

How I Met Your Mother / int_9c8701b5	comment	A Day in the Limelight: Despite Ted being the main character and narrator, the show is generally more of an ensemble instead of focusing solely on Ted. Despite this, several episodes are structured slightly different to highlight other characters narrating the story in some fashion. Season 5 had "Perfect Week" where Barney imagines an interview with a sports commentator on his attempts at 7 for 7 one-night stands. Season 6 had "Oh, Honey" where Marshall is learning about Ted's complicated situation with Zoey via multiple phone calls while staying with his Mom (and ultimately gathers all the pieces of the puzzle). Season 7 had "Symphony of Illumination" where Robin takes over narrating the story from the future, though it does have future Ted take over at the end. The final season has an episode devoted to the titular Mother, although again, Ted does take over right at the end (other than that one scene with Ted, and a setup shot with Ted and Barney, none of the regular cast show up at all).

Throughout the series, his actual job remains a mystery until the final season when under the influence of alcohol he finally admits that his dismissive chuckle and "Please" actually means "Provide Legal Exculpation And Sign Everything", essentially making him a Fall Guy for Goliath National Bank. Basically Barney goes from being a minimum wage barista to enjoying a generous compensation package in exchange for signing legally dubious documents which could implicate him in GNB's corporate malfeasance. As it turns out this was an elaborate revenge plot against a GNB executive who stole his girlfriend, as Barney turned FBI informant and had the executive arrested and his division shut down after the events of the series.

How I Met Your Mother / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Future Ted will often explicitly say "More on that later" when it comes to various plot points brought up. As well, the writers purposefully foreshadow something in the next season (or even several years with regards to the goat incident) and DON'T have plans on it at the time, used as a fun exercise to keep things interesting. Ted in the green dress was apparently the most difficult, as the context of him saying "Now we're even!" sounded victorious rather than merely a bet or blackmail. In season six they introduce Michael Trucco as Nick, a crush Robin had from years prior, who was stated to show up later on. Trucco had schedule conflicts in the following season and so they introduced Kal Penn as Kevin to fill in as Robin's love interest for that season (with the assumption that Kevin's story arc was adapted from the intended arc for Nick). Trucco's schedule cleared up and they brought him back in the eighth season, but it is noticeably less story-heavy than originally implied. While the finale was highly controversial, most of its plot had been heavily foreshadowed. The Mother never appears in flashforwards, which was thought to allow hiding her identity to the audience but is consistent with her being dead, a fact that was bluntly hinted at in Vesuvius when Ted states that her regrets not spending more time with her when he could (and starts crying at the implication of The Mother not attending her daughter's wedding), both Ted and Barney see the bride in her dress, which bring bad luck on both of their marriages, Robin is a much bigger part of the story than the mother and Marshall always wins his bets. Whenever we see Barney actually doing his job, it's always to do with a massive crisis where the company might get taken down by a government agency, or go to war with North Korea. All Barney ever says about his job is, "Heh, please". Come the last season, we learn that the entirety of his job is to be the fall guy in just that sort of occasion.

It might be because Ted is the narrator, and is, therefore, a little bitter, but the impression is certainly there that Tony, the man for whom Stella left Ted at the altar, took the notable points of Ted and Stella's relationship and twisted them to make Ted (or 'Jed') appear a petty, egocentric asshole. This paints Stella as the Houdini as well given that most of the details could only have come from her. In a series that generally gives characters what they deserve, this grates. In an episode Marshall is tricked by a boy that traps him on the roof and steals his cellphone. So he gives a party in Marshall and Lilly's house, sexting an oblivious Lily and, in the end, he also gets money from her before she discovers all.

When a specific time frame is identified for an episode, it's close to the episode's air date. This also affects the series' plot; if we can assume Ted's daughter to be 15 years old in 2030, she would have been born around 2015, which means Ted would have needed to meet the mother by 2014. This holds up in later episodes such as "Trilogy Time", where we flash forward to 2015 and see Ted holding his infant daughter.

How I Met Your Mother / int_a9f1b1bb	comment	Impossibly Awesome Magic Trick: Barney's tricks are often simple enough, but on occasion, some tricks are frankly impossible. Most notably was his trick in "The Magician's Code" which involved him pulling a broadsword out of a 1x1 foot box (that had been scanned by airport security). And that was part of the SETUP.

How I Met Your Mother / int_aa8dcc21	comment	The Season 6 story arc involving Ted, Zoey, and the Arcadian plays with this. Ted is hired to design the new headquarters for Barney and Marshall's company, GNB, which seeks to demolish the Arcadian, an iconic building which has fallen into disrepair, to make room for Ted's building. Zoey protests the demolition because she sees the Arcadian for the beautiful building it once was, and while Ted goes back and forth on the issue due to his feelings for Zoey, he ultimately decides that it's an eyesore that should be destroyed to make way for something new.

How I Met Your Mother / int_b25df244	type	Jesus Taboo
How I Met Your Mother / int_b25df244	comment	Jesus Taboo: This isn't by any means a religious show, but How I Met Your Mother treats "the universe" as a sort of secular god. For instance, the wise old narrator will say things like "the universe has a plan" while characters will look up to the sky and say "Come on, universe. I'm a nice guy. Send me a miracle" and miraculously find exactly what they need. None of the characters ever refer to this all-powerful, all-knowing, and benevolent planner as God, but only as "the universe." The show only mentions God on two occasions: quick gags and one very special episode. Comical aversions often have Barney, a manipulative womanizer, bring up God inappropriately while in the middle of his sexual escapades. Examples of this include Barney's explanation that "We wait three days to call a woman because that's how long Jesus wants us to wait" or the time he made love so well he restored a woman's faith in God. The only serious aversion of the taboo is in the Unexpectedly Dark Episode "Last Words", where a grieving character realizes a voicemail from their dead parent is just a pocket dial, leaving them with no last words. The character sarcastically thanks God for taking away the best person in their life without any closure and continues to rant about how meaningless the parent's death was. Until he listens to the end of the voicemail and discovers his parent's real last words: I love you.

This ensures that the rest of the characters will laugh, or at least smirk, at the joke because the rest of the actors haven't heard it before. Which sometimes leads to Hilarious Outtakes.

Until the season finale where Ted is implied to have ended up with Robin after Tracy dies. This makes it a rare case where both the first and last girl wins.

How I Met Your Mother / int_bb0b2739	comment	Nested Story: Because of the framing device, every time we get someone telling a story in the show, it's this. Sometimes you get a more typical story within a story, and 'The Platinum Rule' takes this up to eleven as Ted tells the kids the story of Barney telling Ted the story of the time he hooked up with Wendy the Waitress to get him not to date Stella, wherein Robin tells Barney the story of the time she hooked up with the Sports Guy at her station to get him not to date Wendy, with Marshall and Lily telling Robin the story of them becoming a double date couple with the couple down the hall to get her not to do Sports Guy. The opening of season eight has Future Ted telling the story of how he told a random woman the story of Barney's and Robin's wedding. This will be the next two seasons.

How I Met Your Mother / int_bd0230fb	type	Ambiguously Bi
How I Met Your Mother / int_bd0230fb	comment	Ambiguously Bi: Lily. Robin's starred in a few of Lily's dreams that remind her "a woman's sexuality is a moving target". Her secret crush is Mila Kunis. One of her unfulfilled ambitions in life was to have a lesbian experience. When Marshall says that he can't stop thinking about her and Robin during sex (meaning the fact that they gossip), she says it happens to her too occasionally. She's more attracted to a hot bartender than Marshall is. Not to mention what happens when she drinks martinis. Given the flashback of Lily and Marshall meeting—where she opens two doors, one with a shirtless man and one with a girl wearing a shirt that read 'vagitarian'—and seemingly equally tempted by both, Lily might just be an unspoken bi woman. Marshall and Barney. The two spent some time arguing who Ted was having gay dreams about and then realized they were accidentally trying to seduce him. Barney otherwise averts the trope neatly, though: he's comfortable enough with his own absolute straightness to snog Marshall in the very first episode. Robin actually gets turned on watching herself do the news, so much so that she will wink at her future self during the broadcast, although since she finds herself attractive, it's more narcissism than anything it seems. Possibly leaning a little bit further towards bisexuality when imaginary Vacation Robin revisits Robin in her dreams ("that chick knows what I like"). In the final season Robin discovers something about herself when she makes out with Lily.

How I Met Your Mother / int_c0e3994b	type	Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male
How I Met Your Mother / int_c0e3994b	comment	Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: A couple of examples: In the 4th episode, Ted dates a girl who, it transpires, studies Krav Maga. Granted, he acts like a jerk towards her, but the public beating she doles out to him at the episode's end—during which no one in the crowded restaurant attempts to help or intervene—is hardly justified. To make matters worse, when he tells his friends, and his children, what happened, all any of them do is laugh because he 'got beat [sic] up by a girl'. Even worse, in a later episode, Ted reveals that the crowd in the restaurant cheered her on. Furthermore, for anyone who knows a little about Krav Maga, it is an Israeli martial art. The premise behind it is that, in a real fight, no quarter is given to the enemy. You fight to inflict maximum pain and damage in order to accomplish your goal and ensure your safety. Everything is permitted, including eye-gouging and Groin Attacks. In a seventh season episode, Robin tells Barney that she is pregnant (so she thought at the time). He then responds with several insensitive questions or statements. After each one, Robin punches Barney hard, in the face, knocking him to the floor. This is played for laughs. The girls of the group have often hit the guys. This includes slaps to the face and punches to the throat. By contrast, the guys rarely even hurt each other outside of the slap bet, and the closest they came to putting a hand on the girls are obviously empty threats. There's a good reason for that. By Ted's own admission, Marshall growing up with his brothers have made him insane when it comes to fighting and he has no sense of proper use of force. If Marshall fights anyone for any reason, it will be a no holds barred Curbstomp Battle.

Including two with huge aversions to getting married. On a smaller scale, Robin's relationship with Don was full of irony. She only meets him after committing fully to her career over her personal life. However, when given the choice, she chose him over furthering her career. He chose his career when given the exact same opportunity. Similarly, Ted stated in "The Platinum Rule" that if he broke up with Stella it wouldn't be because of some stupid rule. At their wedding she left him at the altar to run off with her ex-husband and the father of her daughter, causing him to have the rule never invite an ex to a wedding.

At the same time, part of his problem was that he gave her his, and she had told him she gave him hers, and for years they'd been mutually proud of each being the only person the other had ever had sex with. Ted's generally after true love and not one night stands. The show tends not to heap abuse on him when he does go for one night stands, but it's usually either not shown (as when he and Robin broke up) or shown in a negative light (as when Marshall spends a morning shaming Ted for a litany of bad decisions, including hooking up with a married woman). Robin has fewer conquests than Ted, but she's had a one night stand with Mitch, inventor of The Naked Man!. After the gang spends a few minutes admiring Mitch's ingenuity, Marshall says, "I call slut!" And Robin spends the majority of the episode trying to justify what she did so she doesn't feel bad. Examined (shallowly) in a first-season episode where Ted goes to an awards ceremony with a prostitute who really is a paralegal from Barney's apartment building, just like Barney described her; the rest of the group assume she's a prostitute based on when Barney called her to introduce her to Ted and his deliberately evasive answers to questions about her. The cast generally treats her pretty poorly when she's not around, at least until they find out the truth. Then they treat Barney poorly.

How I Met Your Mother / int_cb8880a5	comment	Soul-Crushing Desk Job: Marshall dreams of becoming a lawyer because he wants to save the environment. In season one, he gets an internship in a company where his friend Barney also works. One episode shows them having fun, enjoying a war of pranks with a guy who works in a building opposite of theirs. When he later gets a stable job at another corporation, he quits very soon. Later he gets a job at the company where Barney works, but he doesn't work with Barney and gets yelled at constantly, which he takes very hard. He also hates himself for working for a corporation that destroys the environment. Ted works as an architect, which is a job he loves, but one episode shows his incompetent, past-his-prime boss who gives him meaningless tasks (like creating brown styrofoam trees for a model of a skyscraper which looks blatantly phallic) and generally is just abusive to his team. When Ted gets promoted to project manager, his former boss acts like a dick and tries to undermine him at every opportunity.

It's revealed throughout the course of the show that Ted and Tracy crossed paths numerous times throughout the series: Ted accidentally taught the wrong college class once, and Tracy was in it; Tracy was at a St. Patrick's Day party that Ted attended; etc. They never actually met because it simply wasn't the right time. They both had to get to a place where they were both really ready to be someone else's one and only. Had they met sooner, it wouldn't have worked out well.

After all, "old Ted" is just telling his kids a story and it is shown that he alters the story (how he got over Robin's rebound boyfriend Gael) or leaves out details (the dirty joke, Victoria's story in "Game Night"). Sometimes he even makes mistakes, as he was close to telling the story of the goat in the middle of a different story that happened a year before.

How I Met Your Mother / int_dfb77c08	comment	Obliquely Obfuscated Occupation Barney's exact job has still not been explicitly revealed. "Heh, please." It's known that he works for "the company" that bought out GNB, and hints dropped throughout the series suggest that he's involved in some highly illegal activities, which by his own admission may lead to him "washing up onshore with no teeth or fingerprints". He once mentions that he should be in jail for perjury, since he covered up something his company was involved in. Season nine finally reveals that his job really is PLEASE—Provide Legal Exculpation And Sign Everything. He is essentially the company's Fall Guy for when they are investigated by the FBI (which they are, because Barney's been working with the FBI the whole time).

How I Met Your Mother / int_e6c88e42	comment	Old Shame: A few In-Universe examplesâ€¦ For Robin, it's "Canadian Teen Popstar" Robin Sparkles, and her hit songs "Let's Go To The Mall" and "Sandcastles In The Sand", as well as staring in a Canadian edutainment show. She's so humiliated by this that she would admit to being married and doing porn before admitting to being Robin Sparkles. Inverted with Marshall. When Ted points out that in college, Marshall wore a beanie, grew a soul patch and requested everyone refer to him by some ridiculous alias, Marshall immediately retorts that he doesn't regret that for one second. Perhaps the only exception to this is his "Beercules" persona (where, thinking it's all part of his initiation as a fraternity pledge, he drunkenly ran across the campus naked, with two beer cans in his hand), which he isn't really ashamed of, but rather thinks of it as unbecoming for someone he wants his future kids to look up to. Barney's video to Shannon begging her to come back to him (and serenading her) when he was still a hippie. Future Ted is often embarrassed by Modern Ted's role in some of the stories. Similarly, Modern Ted is embarrassed about College Ted. One episode even revolves around one of the old shames of each character (such as Ted's rereturn).

She goes to have professional classes in a selective art program and later tries selling some paintings, with mixed success. One episode was based on her trying to figure out what she would love to do with her career, and finally, she says she did figure it out: she starts her old-new job as a kindergarten teacher. However in Season 8, the Captain (Zoey's ex-husband) makes her realize she's wasting her art career. But later, he offers her a job as his art consultant which Lily eventually took.

How I Met Your Mother / int_ec9a5f50	comment	Deconstructed Character Archetype: All of the main group has a few traits/issues/habits that did result in them having to face the consequences: Barney being the Lovable Sex Maniac has often brought considerable tension between him and the rest of the group, showing that being that uncaring will make it hard for people to like you. And his philandering did result in him knocking a woman up eventually. Ted is a Manic Pixie Dream Guy, with a firm belief in love and destiny which leads him to make grand romantic gestures and treat almost every relationship as if they could be the love of his life. While at times sweet and leading to truly beautiful moments, this is slowly deconstructed over time. First of all, his quest to find "the one" means that Ted is way too picky about his future wife resulted in him marrying in his late thirties, wasting a lot of his life during it, and undermined his potential relationships during. Secondly, treating every relationship the way he does results in him burning out and losing faith in the idea that the love of his life exists. Being a Wide-Eyed Idealist, Marshall is often shown to be too trustworthy for his own sake. It resulted in him getting himself into a lot of unnecessary trouble via helping people who took advantage of his kindness. While sometimes played for laughs, Lily deconstructs the Team Mom by showing that while this type of character is genuinely caring, acting like your friends and everyone else are children results in a very arrogant point of view. Having taught kindergarten and punishing bad kids through "Aldrin Justice" where she would do things like taking a favourite toy, she believes that she's justified in applying this in every situation such as stealing a baseball belonging to Ted's abusive boss which only leads him to threatening that he will fire people, which Lily simply calls a tantrum. While aware that it's messed up, she also doesn't mind meddling in Ted's love life if she thinks that whoever he's dating won't fit in her idealised view of the future. Robin being almost comically against kids thus not even planning to have them eventually leads to a major disappointment when she found out that she turned sterile, and right around the time she was finally skirting with the idea of childbearing.

How I Met Your Mother / int_f4f3252e	comment	Law of Inverse Fertility: Zigzagged. Lily and Marshall decide the time is right to have a baby, but have difficulty conceiving. They start to worry that one or both of them may be infertile, but testing shows that they are both completely fertile, and they conceive shortly afterwards. Then there's the situation with Robin. From season one she makes it clear that she never wants kids. However, one episode in season seven begins with her narrating to her and Barney's future kids about how, a few weeks after sleeping with him, she found out she was pregnant. It turns out to have been a scare, however, and she ends up finding out she can't have children. She is devastated despite never having wanted to be a mother, because, as she puts it, "It's one thing not to want something, it's another to be told you can't have it" and know she has to live with the knowledge she can't change her mind even if she wanted to. It is then revealed that the opening narration of Robin talking to her future kids was just something she imagined to help her cope. Barney's stance on children is mixed throughout the series, but overall he is against fatherhood, until babies actually happen. He loves babies, he doesn't like people trying to get pregnant. During the entire run of the series, he seduces countless women and none of them get pregnant...until the series finale, set over multiple years, where he accidentally gets a woman pregnant and is horrified. However, soon after his daughter Ellie is born he completely falls in love with the baby upon holding her in his arms for the first time.

How I Met Your Mother / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement: The show was used to promote the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie in the episode "Mosbius Designs." Technically, it's an example of Wolverine Publicity. A fake placement for Goliath National Bank...member FDIC. The computer screen with map and Bing search engine logo displayed in "Subway Wars", as well as Maury Povich (again) with an X-Box and Kinect. The whole show is full of very recognizable cell phones. The fact that both Ted and Robin had the same silver Motorola RAZR was a plot point late in season 1. Also, most of the cast has iPhones. They are incredibly aware of the details though—Ted had a Verizon LG phone when they found his alter ego, so they gave him a Droid 2 in "Bad News". Various Macs can be seen. Some of them are obvious and not covered up at all◊ but some of them are more or less succesfully covered by a globe◊.

How I Met Your Mother / int_f6b698ac	comment	Complexity Addiction: Barney often inexplicably comes up with incredibly elaborate and complicated schemes and solutions, completely overlooking the fact that there's a far simpler solution right in front of him. When he and Ted are trying to determine which of them is better with women, he suggests a several-month multi-round international championship with a panel of judges. Ted suggests they pick one woman and see who she goes for. In "Something Borrowed" when Marshall shaves part of his head right before his wedding, Barney and Ted's best idea to cover it is an "authentic Native American headdress." When Lily is informed of the problem, she finds Marshall a hat. Robin asks Barney to explain his "Weekend at Barney's" play. In "No Questions Asked", Ted, Barney, and Robin all come up with overly complicated ways to sneak into Lily's room, even as Marshall tries to tell them the lock is broken and they can literally just walk in.

Also when Barney is accidentally called "Swarley" the laundry list of permutations that the gang uses to mock him is quite long. Ted is trying to defend his ownership and the occasional wearing of red cowboy boots, leading to this exchange: In the episode "Aldrin Justice", Ted keeps making accidental penis jokes after telling the gang that the building his boss made looks like a penis. He does something similar in a later episode when he is mistaken as a porn star and is interviewed by who he thinks is someone who works for an architecture magazine (and not the adult magazine it actually is) and makes similar accidental innuendoes that are sexual in nature.

How I Met Your Mother / int_f97be86e	comment	Continuity Lockout: Given the amount of continuity, callbacks, references and plotlines the show has have over its run it's all but inevitable for this to occur on some level. However, steps are taken to simplify things and catch new viewers up. The framing device allows for a lot of concessions for this take, such as Ted specifically reminding his children about past events ("Remember when I saidâ€¦" is frequently used). On the whole, the episodes are self-contained and don't run together very tightly even with seasonal subplots running along. The built-in narrator prevents the need for "Previously onâ€¦" segments and sometimes even the "As You Know" info-dump includes information that hadn't been revealed in a previous episode anyway (such as in "Nothing Good Happens After 2AM" regarding what happened to Robin during the previous episode). Longtime viewers are rewarded with subtle details that they can catch while newer viewers aren't completely oblivious to what is going on.

How I Met Your Mother / int_f98c63	comment	Wedding Bells... for Someone Else: The entire final season takes place at Barney and Robin's wedding. However, the prior seasons faked out the identity of both the bride and the groom when they had flash-forwards to the time of the final season. Season 6 opens with Ted talking about the two important days in a relationship: the day you meet a girl and the day you marry her. Cut to Ted in a tuxedo and Marshall approaching him and asking if he's nervous. The implication here is clearly that this is Ted's wedding day and that he's marrying the mother of his kids. The season finale reveals it's his friend Barney's wedding and Ted's nervous because of his best man duties. Season 7 ends with Barney (already revealed to be the groom) proposing to his girlfriend, Quinn. However, the very last scene reveals the bride to not be Quinn, but Robin, Barney's ex-girlfriend (and also Ted's ex-girlfriend and the big love of his life).

How I Met Your Mother / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
How I Met Your Mother / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Dozens and dozens of them. The telepathic conversations. Marshall slapping Barney periodically due to him winning the Slap Bet. Robin being a former Canadian pop star. Whenever Barney finds out there was another project she did as a pop star, he immediately runs off to find it. Ted constantly correcting people if they say something wrong. Ted or Marshall being called a woman. Barney never saying what his actual job is. ("Heh, please.") Ted and Robin automatically saluting phrases like "private thing", "major concept", and "general idea." Marshall's obsession with the supernatural and constant belief that mundane events have supernatural explanations. This includes him pulling out a big book of mundane things written by crazies and, very dramatically, saying a date followed by this ridiculous thing. Ex. "November 15, 1843, a young couple looks out to the mountains and sees a bright white light floating around. They took a photograph of it, but the light didn't show in the picture. They deleted that picture (shown here) and agreed never to speak of it again. He's also quite the fan of cryptobeasts such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Robin's love of guns. Many an Unusual Euphemism. Lily's inability to keep a secret. Lily's lesbian crush on Robin. Marshall always winning every game he plays and always shouting said game's name once he wins. Ted's intense hatred of New Jersey. The Intervention banner. Ted being called a douche. Robin's ridiculous jobs. Ted's need to have the perfect hair. Ted's obsession with the Empire State Building. Ted to Marshall and Lily: "Please don't." The size of the Eriksen family. ''"But I would walk five hundred miles, and I would walk five hundred more!"'' The guys' obsession with Star Wars. Barney's giant televisions. Barney being insistent about being Ted's best friend, despite everyone insisting it's Marshall. Barney thinking that Bob Barker, former host of The Price Is Right, is his father. "Eating sandwiches" representing taking drugs. Robin's inability to tell a funny joke. Barney's religious devotion to the Bro Code. Robin using Canadian words or references to people or places in Canada, and nobody understanding her. Hurricanes of incredibly lame puns, although this has become somewhat rare in later seasons. Marshall's "Soâ€¦ fish are weird, huh?" Barney referencing his blog, which none of the others read. Barney's many high-five variations, including Relapse-Five ("That's when we High-Fiveâ€¦ then it's awkward for a bitâ€¦ Then we high-five AGAIN!") and Hypothetical-Five. He doesn't seem to mind when people ignore his five-invitations, but it is played with in "I Heart NJ" when he won't put his fist down until it is bumped. Members of the group singing a catchy tune annoying another member of the group who cuts them offâ€¦ then begrudgingly allows them to finish the final note. Barney thinking Wendy the Waitress wants to kill him because he broke up with her. Despite the fact she obviously holds no ill will toward him Barney's fake "historical" stories. The Foreskins' song "Murder Train" playing in the background of violent scenes. Lily getting the Dark!Willow eyes and voice. Robin yelling at Patrice. "J'accuse!" "Yeah, I did." "How dare you! beat What is that?" Ted's red cowboy boots and whether they work for him. Ted's pretentious pronounciation of "Renaissance" (ren-ay-sahns instead of the typical ren-uh-sahns). In the final season, even other characters are pronouncing it that way, despite making fun of Ted for doing it earlier.

How I Met Your Mother / int_fb4c41b4	type	"Friends" Rent Control
How I Met Your Mother / int_fb4c41b4	comment	"Friends" Rent Control: Zigzagged. While Ted and Marshall's apartment is of a reasonable size and Ted has always had a solid job as an architect, Marshall spent the first few seasons as just a law student. As Marshall explains it, he earns "negative $200 dollars a week.". It later becomes somewhat more plausible when Lily moves in (thus adding another source of income) and eventually Marshall graduates and begins earning money. This apartment is explicitly referred to as "a rent-controlled apartment on the Upper West Side." Robin lives by herself in a roomy place initially as a cable news reporter doing fluff pieces, but she does later become head anchor. She might have money leftover from her Robin Sparkles career. In the final season it is revealed that her family is very wealthy and thus money is not really an issue for her. Averted by Barney, who has some undefined corporate job and seems to be the most financially secure of the group, so his very spacious apartment is quite reasonable. Also averted by Lily's apartment early in season two. Lily, with no job and her credit shot, could only get an apartment that was at best 10' x 10' with an exposed toilet, a Murphy's Bed that hits the wall and a combination refrigerator/oven/stove/sink. Played with when Marshall and Lily inherit a nice house in the suburbs and initially decide to sell it so they can stick to the inner city. Upon returning to their apartment (which was supposed to be exceptionally nice and outside their price range) they found it incredibly cramped and barely big enough for their couch, complete with a reorganization of the original set. As they complain about how small it feels the others try to convince them otherwise, the implication being that they've lived in the city for so long they see their apartments as being bigger than they really are.

In the Pilot episode: Episode 2x03 "Brunch": When Barney shows a picture he took of Ted's dad having an affair with Wendy the Waitress, Ted is naturally mortified. Barney assumes this Angst is because Ted's dad violated his duties, not as a husband, but as Barney's wingman. He called dibs on Wendy first, dammit! Episode 3x11 "The Platinum Rule": Barney becomes convinced that an ex-girlfriend is trying to kill him. Episode 4x06 "Happily Ever After": Robin recounts her childhood in Canada, in which her father ignored her gender and tried to instill masculinity in his "son". (Her full name is Robin Charles Scherbatsky Jr.) This culminates with Scherbatsky Sr. witnessing Robin kiss a hockey teammate at age 14; he has an utterly pompous Heroic BSoD ("Oh my godâ€¦ I have no son.") This kind of thing really screwed up Robin's life. After the story is finishedâ€¦ Episode 4x13 "Three Days of Snow": Barney explains how he plays a game called "Party School Bingo" where he takes a list of the Top 25 party schools in the country, arranges them on a bingo card, and fills in a space every time he sleeps with a girl from that school. Episode 4x15 "The Stinsons": When Barney watches moviesâ€¦ The same episode has him revealing that he roots for Hans Gruber in Die Hard (believing him to be the title character), Principal Vernon in The Breakfast Club (the only one who wears a suit) and The Terminator (and proceeds to start crying over his death scene, saying "And she doesn't even help him!")

Commence them freaking out and trying to get Ted to look at what they found. He finally caves in, and instead of it being awful, it turns out the girl is a rocket-scientist-baby-saving-extremely-wealthy-miracle woman. So Ted blows the date by having an inferiority complex.
