Nothing real funny in this episode, but I enjoyed the part about Barney's dad.

Yeah I kinda like how they tried to slip that in there.

We haven't seen him before in a previous episode yet, have we?

So is Zoe going to be the mother?

When I saw her at the party, I at first thought she had a twin sister who Ted might marry...

I liked this episode a lot. Big laughs from Robin/Barney, and Ted's old guy jokes and jerkish behavior were great. Even liked the Marshall and Lily stuff, including more sandwiches and more Scooter.

The mother is suppose to be Rachel Bilson's roommate + a student at Ted's school (unless I missed something and they changed it since), so Zoe probably isn't unless she's somehow married plus is a roomie with a college student.

Ah... forgot about that whole roommate thing. I think I might be mentally blocking out most of last season. (Come to think of it, didn't Ted mention meeting the mother at a wedding earlier this season?)

At any rate, it seems like they're setting Zoe up for something, she's been in the last three or four eps, and they're still not finished with her.

Lots of set up this time... there's Barney's father, Marshall's coming career change, and looks like Robin and Barney are getting closer again.

Loved Barney and Robin doing all that dumb stuff during the episode. And the (big) sandwiches of course.

Lily's cleavage during the college marshal exhibit scene was good

I thought it was hilarious. When Robin was walking around the party in animal skins and carrying a spear, I completely lost it.

The characters on this show are more feminine than on The Big Bang Theory. Seriously, those guys would whoop Marshall and Ted's ass. Just an observation, there's only so much Ted whining and a "lesson to be learned here kids" that I can put up with. If the show isn't 95% Barney then it's a letdown.

Although Marshall is very sensitive he has proven several times that he can kick some ass too. Barney may be more of a "man", but Marshall will def knock someone out whereas Barney would probably run from a fight.

Ted is def a whiner...

Agreed. Good laughs plus a nice unexpected reveal for Barney at the end. Good stuff.

I thought it was good as well. I liked Lily and College Marshall's conversation.

Next week should be good as well with the return of

I'm starting to get annoyed with ted, lily and robin.
Lately the only funny stuff is anything with Marshall and Barney.
