I enjoyed this one all around. Ted realizing he's always been a huge douche was great. Also just the overall setup of covering the gang's different level of approvals was good.

Barney's plot was also entertaining albeit not very timely.

Definitely one of the better episodes this season (not saying much).

Barney announcing his ¨decision¨ was great, funniest part of the show.

Yeah about 2 years too late on that one. I still liked the plot though, the idea of a strip club trying to sign him was very funny.

The rest of this episode was pretty good too. Ted seems to realize that he's a douche about once a season so I didn't find that part funny but the old scenes from him in college were. The 'stamp of approval' on Lily was lame though.

Good to see Brad back. He's my favorite minor recurring character on this show. Marshall's stuff was really good this week. I liked the interview with the guy insisting that he's 6'1 and I'm looking forward to this trial. I hope Brad sticks around.

With all the Lebron talk earlier, it would of been funny if Barney went with "not 6 lapdances, not 7, not 8, not 9..." but overall a MUCH better episode than of late!

Manganiello was great as Brad.

college ted's video was painful as he was even more douchey than current ted
but the guys eating a sub in the background was good continuity of the running joke of using "eating sandwiches" instead of "smoking pot"
