Robin's story telling is almost as dragged out as Teds

I liked the return of the ducky tie, but otherwise the episode wasn't too hot. The Ted, Marshall, & Lily plot was right out of the "worst sitcom plot ideas in history" playbook.

Sooo... how is Robin telling a story inside of future Ted's story?

Well, technically, Ted is relating Robin's story to his kids, so Robin may in fact be a succinct story teller and the dragging out may be a factor Ted telling the story.

I was surprised to see Kal Penn back on TV. He really did a very poor job as the doctor. What a waste of a cameo.

I loved the Survivor cameo and enjoyed some of Barney's Bimbo Delivery Systems. The rest didn't work that well.

Penn is not doing a cameo, this is a recurring role. Hence, the question about Robin keying the judge's car and Robin respond with oh. Evidently, Robin is going to be in anger management for awhile.

This was the highlight of an otherwise dull episode. I do like that they took a chance and gave someone else the storytelling duties but Robin isn't all that interesting. Reminded me of the random Scrubs episodes where we'd be in someone else's head. I'm hoping they try it again because Barney and Marshall would be great.

Also one LOL line: "Why can't two bros rock a birthing class?"
