Episode Discussion S09E10 - "Mom and Dad" (Here be spoilers!)

Anyone else notice the Rastafarian had a sandwich? Haha

Is that a slow version of the bangity bang song...?

Can't believe I forgot about Barney's brother's dad being a reverend. Duh.

Daphne is getting out of the car. Her story arc is over!

The universe really doesn't want them to drink Glenn McKenna

Smooth jazz "bang bang bangity bang" song in the background! Yes!

J'accuse!

YES I THINK DAPHNE IS GONE!!!

Ranjit!

So the rhyming ep is next week then :)

And finally Marshall's back in NY! Now get your ass to Farhampton!

Marshall flagging down a police officer is the most Minnesota thing ever

About time we got a Wayne Brady/Neil Patrick Harris duo

Oh man that was about to get dark (Trekkie)

Lily has been wearing the same thing all season and somehow she's still getting hotter every episode.

Baby Marvin driving!

Zabkatage!

I'm going to guess that Marshall meets The Mother in the next episode. We'll see a week from now if I was right.

Will they stop breaking bottles of Glenn McKinnon?!?!?!?! God damn it.

THE PINEAPPLE INCIDENT.

HAHAHAHA

The return of the 500 miles makes me so happy.

Thank you for bringing the road trip song back!! Now have TANTRUM.

Poor Billy Zabka :(

And that's how Trinity was reborn.

Edmonton Oilers and Wayne Gretzky shout outs in this episode. As an Edmontonian, I approve.

1984 Billy Zabka has 2 popped collars... you evil bastard!

Is that Barry White singing a slow bang bangity bang?

"An all new episode of Two Broke Girls coming up next!"

switches to Monday Night Football

Rasta dude eating a sandwich, I see you marijuana reference!

Loretta Stinson is a fuckin weirdo

Montrealer here! Oh my god, that was the worst Québécois accent ever! Still cool to see a Habs shirt on American TV!

"I agree, it's a tie". I love Barney's near crippling denial

How many expensive bottles of alcohol are going to be dropped on that patio?

Marshall's a nark?

[deleted]

Sabotage? No, I'm telling all y'all, it's Zabka-tage!

Oh god, not another Barney-Has-Daddy-Issues episode...

So is Daphne officially gone then? I'm assuming so based on the scene and the comments I'm reading but something tells me we haven't seen the last of her.

Glad to see Marshal and Daphne are getting along.

So based on last week and the preview for next week, does anyone else find it weird they keep using flashbacks to show a "Barney picking up girls" plot? It's like they ran out of reasons to show that Barney and Robin getting married actually makes sense so just went back to jokes about Barney having a lot of sex.

That was the most honest look of "ah, shit" I've ever seen on Robin's face.

Lily's 2nd tackle of the weekend?

Will there be more?

How I Met Your Mother has the absolute best musical numbers

A lot of people are pointing out how this episode is filler and I do agree it is. But thinking about it I realized that this show has always had a bunch of filler episodes and that the only reason that I am (and possibly a lot of other fans) are seeing a lot of these episodes as filler is because we have an ending in sight which is why people are pointing it out more now. At the same time I did enjoy this episode in my opinion. Was it the best, no, but I still enjoyed the hell of it like all HIMYM episodes. It had a bunch of callbacks (Pineapple Incident, Bang Bang song, 500 MIles), a bunch of side story conclusions (Daphne and Marshall getting to NY, getting a reverend for the wedding, Zabka/Mosby rivalry, and a couple more), and a new original music number.

I thought Daphne would've gotten a bigger send off than just "We should go" short hug

That threeway suggestion was ridiculous even for Barney.

Love the Rastafarian on the beach "eating a sandwich".
