Anybody ever wonder if there’s some guy out there who’s watched the show and took it sooo serious and started acting like Barney?

It's by far one of the darkest episodes. My issue is my mum watched it with me and thought it was fine and argued with me that it wasn't actually wasn't even a dark episode.

Also does anyone else agree that himyf sucked?

I saw this on another subreddit and thought it would be fun.

Ten years later after watching that ending I decided to rewatch the series since my wife had never seen it. It’s still fucking terrible. 1-6 hands down great. I still have my own ending of Barney and Robin still together but Robin dies during a complicated birth. Ted and Tracey are together and happy together. The story focuses on Robin not because Ted still has a romantic thing for her but because he loved her as a friend that he misses and wants to keep her memory alive. What wasted potential.

So I’ve watched HIMYM through many many times. The thing is though, I only watch seasons 1-6 on repeat. Am I alone in thinking seasons 7-9 kinda suck? It just seems like they started putting the show together the same way every show did back in 2014-17. The only word that comes to mind is cringey. Those seasons are so incredibly cringey that I can’t watch. Which, makes me sad because it’s my favorite show. But mannn it’s u bearable. Especially Ted in those seasons! He comes off as insanely desperate and it kinda ruined his character for me. I think they should have stopped around season 5/6. And they REALLY jumped the shark with season 9. A whole season for a couple of days worth of events? Just weird. They could have spread out the content in the finale to make that the entirety of season 9 but instead we got that garbage

I’ve been rewatching HIMYM and it just seems like Barney really craves attention and affection. From wanting girls to sleep with him to his desperation to have Ted call him his best friend just screams that to me.

I mean we can see that he’s angry with his dad. His anger that his dad wasn’t there for him. He wanted his dad to be this super cool dad that he never had so he even makes up stories about him to his friends.

It seems like he’s desperate for affirmation from friends and women. And you can see for that he knew he really fucked up and how devastated he was when Ted said he didn’t want to be friends anymore.

I was really hoping the end twist would be that robin never actually existed she was just a figment of their imagination. Which would explain Barney’s backtrack and Ted’s ability to move on after he was obsessed with her.

Since it was summer, I decided that I have a lot of time, an abundance of it actually, and I decided to watch how I Met your mother. I have been binging the show since i liked the fresh genre because i never watched a sitcom before and grew quickly fond of the show. Ofcourse i had some big downs watching the show, mostly about the love triangle with barney, robin and ted since any new good romantic side-characters the show took time introducing and developing were tossed out multiple times because the characters couldn’t get over eachother. The straw finally broke at the plot twist for the end of szn 7 when barney is shown to be marrying robin instead of quin. I can not describe how mad i was and how i spent over so much time thuggin out the rough parts of the show over and over again thinkin that the end was gonna be worth it. Its so frustrating because its so boring, repetitive and blatant way of the authors trying to extend the airing of the show and get more money. And the way they do it is so fucking horrible, example: couple of episodes bfr szn 7, quin and barney were so perfect for eachother, as the characters went through developments and changes but then randomly, out of nowhere barney is in the cab looking out of the windows as quin is sleeping on his shoulder (with what the context suggests is dissatisfaction) as a montage of robin looking at old photos while crying. This was their way of justifying why they could just toss away all of the episodes (that we spent time watching) prior to the moment because the characters, after acting normal around eachother, rediscover that they cant get over eachother (RIGHT BEFORE ENGAGMENT AS ALWAYS)

“Oh its not just tossing away all of the szn, they also made memories and learned from mistakes!” Yea no they fucking didnt cuz this happens at the end of every season. Im so mad at what happened i decide im done and im gonna spoil myself to see the mother. But i come to regret that because i find out at end that SHE FUCKING DIES AND TED ENDS UP WITH ROBIN. this makes my blood boil so much i have to come to reddit (a app ive been on for years) and make my first post, EVER. HORRIBLE FUCKING SHOW THAT JUST WANTED SO SUCK OUT MORE MONEY WITH HORRIBLE WRITING. I SEARCHED UP THE WRITERS AND THE DIRECTORS OF THE MOVIE SO I CAN GUARANTEE I WILL NEVER WATCH ANOTHER PIECE OF THEIR WORK. Hours wasted watching the show. This was an insane wakeup call for me to lock in and focus on important rtant stuff in my life.

Why couldn't Ted just live out a life with her where they grow old and stay happy. I get that Robin is mainly talked about but she's not the mother and never will be.

Ugh i just finished rewatching and the last season was soo bad they took so much time for everything till like season 6 7 or idk and than they were like okay just lets finish this series really disappointed

Oh also idk what to watch now

I feel like I remember seeing a clip where Marshall was really mad at Barney, and to make him less upset Lily told him what Barney did. What episode was that?

BUT UM!!!!

Did you guys know that you can book a video message of Marshall Manesh (the actor of taxi driver Ranjit) on cameo.com? I got one for my girlfriends birthday and the guy is amazing! Just wanted to leave the info here for the fans.

By the way, Teds actor is avalible as well if you got 600$ spare :)
