Thank you, Dave Coulier. Thank you.

Grunge Robin.

Fist of Doom

Robin Sparkles and Canada jokes are always gold on this show. Loved all the guest stars, too.

Maybe the best episode of the whole series.

Michael Corvin

Holy crap Coulier sold that whole sequence. It was mildly entertaining bit and then BAMM! Coulier....then Sagat. Awesome.

Not sure who said it previously but they really need to abandon the college flashbacks with Lily. Hannigan just can't pull off the 20 year old Lily anymore.

Also, I didn't recognize Priestley at all.

Way too much Canada crap.

i loved the Van Der Beek cameo (and Geddy Lee_

mdgreen31

The bit with Dave Coulier was even funnier when you know that he has stated that he thinks that the Alanis Morrisette song "You Oughta Know" was written about him.

astrochimp

That was well reported here during that time so I'm sure many knew that. I assume people(outside of Canada) know of Alanis's pre-"alternative" career too.

Thanks, Ben Roethlisberger

Yep.

Not the best, but one of the best in a really long time.

I was really surprised to see all the cameos, specially the guy from Rush and K.D. Lang. Somehow I wouldn't think they would do something like this.

dex14

They're Canadian. You just have to ask nicely.

I really loved all the Canadian jokes. Stereotypical...but true. Tim Horton's is great. I could go for some Timbits right now.

Vagitarian (ha ha ha...)

madcougar

Holy crap Dave Coulier looks old as hell.

Geofferson

Was fun seeing some of those cameos. Oh, and Grunge Robin looked pretty good.

hahn

Great episode! Do most Americans know about Tim Horton's? I wouldn't have had a clue if I didn't know any Canadians.

dex14

If you haven't been to Canada or know a Canadian then probably not haha

Goat3001

I've seen a couple of Tim Horton's in NYC actually. Never been but I think of HIMYM every time.

Coral

Hamilton represent!

mikehunt

or live in upstate NY
they're everywhere here, almost as bad as lewis black's starbucks skit

loved the variety of guests

dex14

Send me some Timbits!

astrochimp

Yeah, how bout that eh? I was excited when they showed the map and Burlington was clearly visible

Rypro 525

if you watch Hockey then you probably do know about Tim Hortons
