Episode with your favorite A plot but least favorite B plot?

• Upvotes

For me it’s probably Perfect Week. The A plot is hilarious and barrels ahead but the retread B plot joke of Cook Poo just really slows it down. By the end it feels like a 45 minute episode

Agree or disagree - what’s yours?

The Fight is eliminated! Another disappointing one for me, I think the way Ted and Barney milk the fake fight is hilarious. And when Robin suddenly loses all interest in Barney when she realizes it was a hoax, even better! Anyway at least it’s not as disappointing as Wooo going out was.

Ted, Barney and Robin’s friendship after Robin and Barney get together is completely unrealistic

93 Upvotes

Let me start this off by saying i know it’s just a sitcom and not meant to be wholly realistic. Barney slept with over 200 women, and then set his sights on the one woman his best friend was obsessed with and still in love with. What makes it even more unrealistic to me is how obsessed Barney was with the “bro code,” yet he completely disregarded it when it came to Ted and Robin. How was Ted able to stay friends with Barney and Robin and continue hanging out with him every day afterward? I can’t stomach the idea of my womanizer best friend hooking up with my ex, whom I was deeply in love with for many years and still am, and then being completely fine with it. This dynamic would almost never happen in real life, and it honestly ruins the show for me.

As Halloween approaches, it’s always good to have some back-up costumes ready in case you strike out in your first costume.

it’s a very low effort post but i’ve had this thought the entire day and i just wanted to let it out on a place where i think at least a few people would get me. i’ve been watching HIMYM for the past three years, on and off, and i’m now 3 episodes away from finishing it. i’ve been trying to find another show as good, but nothing comes close. i already know I’m going to feel so empty when I finish it, which is why i’ve been looking for a follow up show to watch and honestly i give up. i don’t think i’ll ever find a show that hits the same way.

Why HIMYM get so much hate and sitcoms in general?

6 Upvotes

so my feed in instagram and tiktok is full of himym clips, every time i read the comments there are people who shit on the show calling it unfunny, how people find this funny etc, and some go further to criticizing the show as part of hating on sitcoms overall.
my questions is why? because it's not recorded like community, the office, modern family etc? or because it's mainstream? or why exactly?
ps: HIMYM is a special case in sitcoms in the way it was recorded, without audiences or something.

Unpopular Opinion: Barney and Robin didn't actually work. People just love Barney.

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

Hear me out on this. I feel like a lot of fans think Barney and Robin were "perfect together" purely because Barney is such a fun, entertaining character. But if you look past the comedy, their entire dynamic is built on manipulation.

Look at every major romantic milestone in their relationship: "The Robin" proposal, the rehearsal dinner, the bachelor party... none of it is realistic. It’s all elaborate, scripted theater that requires gaslighting, trickery, and mind games just to work. It makes for great TV fiction, but it’s a terrible, unrealistic partnership.

When things actually get serious, personal, or hard, Barney checks out or makes it about himself. Ted is consistently the one who shows up for Robin when it actually counts without an ulterior motive.

Barney and Robin were fun to watch, but as a actual couple, they were a mess. Am I the only one who feels like people confuse "fun TV character" with "good relationship"?

I honestly think fans who root for Barney and Robin liked the fictional drama of it all, but overlooked what a real, healthy partnership actually requires. People romanticize Barney's personality.

I rewatched HIMYM and liked what everyone hates

6 Upvotes

So recently somedays back i rewatched HIMYM atleast after some years. And I don't why but I felt is too much better to work on me specially in the comedy aspects.

Idk if it is life that resulted in this or what but I loved the show now. And for the ENDING somehow I liked the ending more than before.

When I watched the series for first time I felt that ending was bad and stupid but after watching second time it was better I think after you know what's going to happen and you watch it you understand the deep things that some episode before of ending holds.

And moreover i think when you experience something like this and life happens i guess that result in the opinion to change.

Or idk what but I liked it this time more that before.

Ted was the reason all of his relationships before The Mother failed. None of his girlfriends were the problem (even the ones think sub thinks are bad like Zoey)

0 Upvotes

Ted was an insecure clingy misogynistic douchebag prone to love bombing every girl he took a liking to, often not taking no for an answer and then judging the girl for doing things he himself would usually do like having "baggage" or being too fast.

EDIT: I meant this sub thinks are bad

Barney Makes a Better Protagonist Than Ted

Barney is funnier, he's most interesting, he has a better arc throughout the show, and he's the only one with a satisfying conclusion in the finale (minus Marshall and Lily, they didn't really get much of an ending)

I believe I have the perfect finale for HIMYM. The problem is, everyone hates it.

0 Upvotes

First of all, in the name of transparency I have to admit that I liked the finale of HIMYM. Ted and Robin, regardless of what many say, were obviously meant to be together for the whole series and I'm glad they ended up that way. That being said, I was pretty upset that Barney and Robin ended the way they did. So I came up with an alternate plot to fix this issue, but my entire family hates it. Now I figure you can hate it too.

So here are my "givens":

1) Ted has to end up with Robin (I explained why above)

2) Tracy has to die

So my "alternate ending" is this: the gang are all carpooling to go to an important event: a friend's wedding, an event for Marvin, etc. Ted and Robin, for whatever reason, ride together and Barney and Tracy, for a similar reason, ride together. Ted and Robin get there but Barney and Tracy do not; they end up in a car crash together and neither makes it.

Ted and Robin console each other in their grief, but eventually move on and grow apart just like they did in the show. Then, Ted finishes the story, and the kids tell him to go reunite with Aunt Robin.

Yes, it's tragic, but it's not THAT much more tragic than just Tracy dying, and Robin and Barney marriage can remain legendary AND we don't have to see Barney's desperate return to the dating scene.

So, on a scale of 0-2, how bad is it?


r/HIMYM • • 1d ago

Y'all, doesn't the last outro of himym where they show the characters from the pilot feel so nostalgic? I revist that episode just for that outro and the bgm hits hard too.

I love it when they are “couple like” and when Lilly and Marshall say “I like you two together” when Barney was putting g the moves on Ted. I enjoy their shenanigans when it’s just them.

Oh Honey episode

125 Upvotes

Just two random observations about this episode:

  1. When Robin describes Honey to Marshall, she says "you just want to wrap her in a blanket and give her a cup of tea. Later in the episode, Barney is crying about his father and Honey tells him "Oh honey" multiple times. After rewatching the show so many times, I finally noticed that Honey has actually wrapped Barney in a blanket and made him a cup of tea.
  2. In the end of the episode, when Marshall calls Zoey and Ted to tell them they're into each other and both single... Why on earth does he call Zoey before calling his friend?
