It was great, I laughed pretty hard!

u/shodrama Dec 03 '13

Ted in that costume; he is so pulling it off.

121

u/dontblink123 Dec 03 '13

If only he had red cowboy boots. RIP RCB.

22

u/Dall0o Dec 03 '13

I am pretty sure he will get them back before the end. Well, I hope so.

u/BigChinkyEyes Dec 03 '13 edited Dec 13 '13

Didn't Jeanette destroy the red cowboy boots?

Edit: Not Janine...not sure how I got that name lol

u/azizinator25 Dec 03 '13

I doubt he'll 'get them back' in the sense of getting new boots, but I think he will wear them at least one more time in a flashback

3

u/BigOCodayy Dec 12 '13

Jeanette, and yes she did. They were clearly on fire and he let them burn in front of him.

3

u/Theslayer-----D Dec 12 '13

No but Jeanette did

u/Dall0o Dec 03 '13

I can find another one or maybe a trick.

u/lydocia Dec 03 '13

They died for a good cause, but I'm sure as hell Mother is going to gift him Cow Boy Boots 2.0

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '13

That would clash.

u/bmoreraven Dec 03 '13

Anybody else wondering how Robin got into the room in the first place?

102

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '13

Maybe Barney had people build some kind of passageway that looks like the inside of a laser tag place and remove it while Robin was arguing with him.

42

u/Herbrrt_Mewver Dec 03 '13

You'd think that she might also notice that it's cold.

196

u/Pepe__Silvia Dec 03 '13

Barney did mention that it was a little cold in there. But robin's Canadian so she would be immune.

72

u/Raktoner Dec 03 '13

But robin's Canadian so she would be immune.

This is referenced at some point earlier in the show when everybody was cold and Robin wasn't.

48

u/yellowumbrellaz Dec 03 '13

Barney did ask the 'security guard' at the start, why is it was so cold. He was like 'Why is it so cold in here? Are you tryna get info outta me? FINE ILL TALK'

3

u/Herbrrt_Mewver Dec 03 '13

Good point, I totally missed that.

17

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '13

Probably too busy raging at Barney to wonder why the AC is up so high...if her Canadian self is even bothered by it.

4

u/Caraes_Naur Dec 03 '13

Bikini weather!

3

u/papasmurf826 Dec 03 '13

that's the only explanation I can think of. I wish they would have at least mentioned that as part of Barney revealing the whole setup

143

u/nvenkatr Dec 03 '13

So by tonight, Marshall and Marvin would've reached the front entrance of Farhampton Inn after going through a major b-plot crisis.

51

u/HorseCannon Dec 03 '13

and no one will be there...

16

u/Spitfire221 Dec 03 '13

And they set-up for next week with Barney running off to call Marshall

233

u/desquamation Dec 03 '13

Kids, it's also difficult to figure skate while wearing hockey skates.

64

u/Johojoe Dec 03 '13

Toe pick - LOL

u/internetsanta Dec 03 '13

I couldn't name that movie if my life depended on it, but I remember that line.

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '13

Yes, I was wondering how they made such an obvious faux pas with a professional figure skater on the set. The only person in the scene wearing actual figure skates.

16

u/StarManta Dec 03 '13

Could either be in-universe (Ted was the one that fucked up and got the wrong shoes, possibly mistaking them for red cowboy boots), or simply that they already had all the skates on set before the figure skater even showed up, and it's not like they're going to delay a large-crew scene filming so that everyone can get the right kind of skates.

YES. THIS.

u/dontblink123 Dec 03 '13

I just rewatched the Robin 101 episode last night, the hungry/angry face is a total call back.

44

u/a_g_and_t_for_me Dec 03 '13

What were the final two sentences they exchanged before the theme hit?

74

u/GamerKingFaiz Dec 03 '13

Robin: "I'm missing the bacon wrapped figs!"

Barney: "Please push the button!"

u/MrKentucky Dec 03 '13

LOL at the couple getting married, having a kid, the kid graduation and the husband dying in the background

81

u/naxter48 Dec 03 '13

My favorite part is that some new guy is like, "Imma put this urn of yours over here, k?"

203

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '13 edited Dec 03 '13

As a Canadian, ouch.

Edit: Now that I've seen the whole episode; Thank you HIMYM. That one scene made up for all your ripping on Canada these 9 years.

234

u/ilaughlikemandark Dec 03 '13

Your cops are called "Mounties".
