While the Slap-bet tie-in to Thanksgiving is great, I don't remember anything else about the previous years' episodes.

Friends still owns the Thanksgiving holiday with their yearly episodes.

"Slapsgiving" is how I started following this show.

They should have given angry Lily black eyes for the Dark Willow look.

NPH sells the slap so well

I found that this episode was pretty disappointing. No huge laughs in it for me.

So much opportunity for call-back wasted with Lilly's dad being a game inventor and Marshal unbeatable at games.

Same here (aligns with the season as a whole for me, imo).

Hmmm. Marshal being a jerk and not looking for his wife to beat his father-in-law at a stupid board bame on Thanksgiving OR doing the right thing.

What is it with Chris Elliott? Does he get first dibs on every incredibly lame, incredibly irritating, incredibly abrasive, incredibly aggravating, incredibly annoying role created for TV? What a fricking idiot. I really REALLY hope this is the last time we see him on HIMYM. Or anywhere else for that matter.

Barney was the only thing that I found slightly amusing about this ep.

Really great episode. I can't imagine what they are going to do for the last slap.

Eh. I'm not a big fan of strapless.

I love that they reworked "You Just Got Slapped" for the Slap Bet Board Game commercial.
