Great pay-off with the clown.

Did not see that coming.

Yea... kind of a lame episode, but worth it for The Karate Kid stuff.

I liked it. Pretty obvious that it was all a trick but the pay off was still great. I had to rewind and pause on the Broah to see if they did it all. This show has always been good with that kind of stuff.

Marshall getting his hand chopped off.

Easily the best of the season. I liked seeing that crazy Chinese gambling game again. Great payoff at the end, as well.

I'm sure the karate kid stars were eager for a paycheck.

Fun fact: William Zabka is an Academy Award nominee.

Not sure how I feel about it. Started hating it, thinking even douchey Ted couldn't plan a party THIS bad and hating it, then the twist and thinking "Ok, they're gonna "The Game" Barney", but instead of really putting it to Barney, it just kinda limped home.

I think if they had a 1 hour episode, they could of really pulled off something awesome, but I don't think 22 mins was enough to pull off what they were trying.

I liked it. Thought that there was a good payoff, especially with the clown, and laughed at Lily licking her hand after Ralph Macchio shook it.

Barney substituted bro into some Jewish words (dreidel, yarmulke, Torah, Hebrew).

This. I thought have Ralph play a faux Barney was great. The clown was the best part considering how Barney had gone to great lengths earlier in the season to explain why William Zabka was the Karate Kid. Also Barney's mother co-conspiring with Robin was hilarious - "Oh so you're a big ho-bag like me!"

Thought the episode was decent. As others have said, the payoff was great though.

I hope they put this show out of its misery soon. I loved the first few seasons, but the actors don't even seem to be having fun anymore. Sadly, I find the Following funnier.

Really? I just assumed it was this year because it looks like Ted meets the mother at the wedding. I've been sticking to it simply because I've committed so much time to the series I'd like to see the "payoff". I don't know if I would sit through another full season unless the quality improved.

Yeah, great episode. And awesome ending.

Although they have had one of the worst episodes ever in this season, I think the season has been good in general.
