How I Met Your Mother -- "Subway Wars" -- 10/11/10

"Subway Wars"
Spoiler:
When the gang teases Robin about not being a real New Yorker, she sets out to prove them wrong by racing to catch a glimpse of Woody Allen.

Great episode. Lots of fun and full of laughs. Maury Povich popping up everywhere killed me.

Yeah, good episode this week. Probably my favorite of the new season thus far.

Barney - She looks sad and miserable... anyone have a condom?

A solid episode that had a lot of laughs.

That was a pretty good Microsoft commercial.

Because no one in this world uses Microsoft products. Whatever pays the bills, I say.

Great episode. I loved Marshall's song, it was a funny premise and everyone had great moments. I liked Lily diving into the subway...twice. And "speaking conductor" was great too.

I also enjoyed the "movie review" graphics for Ted, and that he kept dropping whatever he was holding.

Pretty solid from start to finish.

Hey, it was a funny episode, but good lord they laid it on thick. And for the record, I've never seen anyone with a Windows brand laptop.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen a Windows Logo on the back of a laptop like that, but I do get tired of seeing the Apple Logo on the back of every computer in every movie and television show, so I'll give them a pass.

Marshall's song was awesome.

Silly Ted, the bus is never faster than the train.

Great episode, although the ending was kind of flat.

I definitely liked the whole rip on Ted being boring. I guess the writers realize it too.

So were those things something that all true New Yorkers have done? I can believe the "not giving a shit what others think" one.

No. Who the fuck would ever kill a roach with their bare hand? Also I've lived in New York for a long time and have seen two roaches. In 12 years.

That's what I figured. Crying on the subway seemed stupid too.

I've seen that plenty of times.

And I've seen people in a rush ask people if they can have their cab but I've never seen anyone straight up steal a cab.

I've also never seen Woody Allen

I saw Maury in NYC but I was in line for a taping of his show, so I wasn't shocked. Now he films in Connecticut.

A better New Yorker test: do you know to be wary of an empty subway car at rush hour?
