Considering where they had left off, I thought this one was very well done. Lotsa funny parts. Loved Barney's line to Lily about if he did it really well could he turn the baby into his? Still didn't close "that" door though.

Anyone else notice Conan O'Brien?

When Barney ran out of the bar "So there IS a sex tape!" Conan is standing by the bar's entrance.

Just came to post this lol. I had to rewind it twice to make sure.

LOL My wife just came up to me and said "this show shouldn't be called 'How I Met Your Mother', it should be called 'All The Stupid Shit I Did before I Met Your Mother'".

A good episode but as far the overall arc goes the whole thing was unnecessary. We already accepted that Ted was over Robin a few seasons ago, this was just a callback that didn't need to happen.

Am I the only one who thinks Barney constantly hitting on Lily is really fucking creepy?

Granted, her boobs did look nice (especially in the sex tape flashback... "Gosh, look at those!"), but this is his friend's wife. Marshall needs to kick his ass.

I thought it was a decent way to handle the Ted-Robin thing ... especially with Marshal's private talk with Robin about moving out.

Thank god they backed off that potential storyline...ugh!! I loved Marshal's arguments against watching the tape.

I told my wife this show would determine if I would stick with it the rest of the season and it looks like they called off the jump!!

My wife asked me if this was the last season of HIMYM. I said No, but it might be mine! >

I loved the episode until the end when Marshall refuses to call the bet. I think it would have been prudent to go ahead and take Robin off the table completely as the potential mother, which we know she can't possibly be. Having been there though (the point where you realize, understand and believe it's not going to happen), it can be very liberating.

Of course we can learn that Barney is marrying Robin during the last episode this season, which is only seven episodes away, and have Marshall conceed the bet then.

If this were real life... yes. Given the fact it's a television show and Barney's character might as well be a cartoon... not so much.

And yes, her boobs looked very nice in that scene.

Caught the Conan scene on Hulu earlier this morning. Completely missed that during my initial viewing.

They actually pulled it off. I loved the ending with all the yellow umbrellas.

And yeah, Robin and Barney are getting married in the season finale.
