Episode Discussion S09E11 - "Bedtime Stories" (Here be spoilers!)

Loved the Marshal vs the Machines ref at the end!

Bus dude knows how to bust a rhyme.

The fact that the commercials don't rhyme too threw me off completely.

I'm loving the artwork before the stories.

I hope "Mosby at the Bat" is one of Lily and The Mother's children books

EDIT: Okay maybe not the blue balls part.

Hahahaha nice.

Of course Barney would say he's Derek Jeter.

I'm glad Simon and Louise stayed together, and kept the jacuzzi

A move like that.. might get him into the Evil League of Evil :o

I couldn't get past the first 2 minutes....another filler episode and the whole rhyming thing annoyed me, but looking at the posts here I feel like I'm alone. I maniacally started fast-forwarding through it in the hopes of finding that the whole episode wouldn't be narrated wholly in rhymes with meaningless stories. Oh well

This scene reminds me of Matilda where the fat kid ate the whole chocolate cake infront of the auditorium.

Is that Lin-Manuel Miranda? That would explain the rhyming.

This was a bold episode. I'm not sure it paid off in my opinion but it was different. I'm a huge Community fan and enjoy when the show tries to take a new direction so I figured this would be a good twist on the normal formula. It kinda got old quickly though for me. Not sure about you guys. I did like that Marshall was able to continue the rhyme going but this was really an episode I would never have expected in a final season.

Heh, nursery song version of the theme. Nice touch.

YES! THE RETURN OF FOLK SONG RUNNING MARSHALL!

I sense some people want to grade this episode F-minus

But do you really want another week of "Thank you, Linus"?

Why wouldn't he just call someone at the Farhampton to come pick him up instead of walking with Marvin and his luggage? Oh wait, I know.... because the writers need more material to draw out this stupid plotline.

Seems like a super polarizing episode 10 minutes in. Everyone is gagging or gushing

Damn, Robin still looks awesome in sweats and a ponytail with pastry cream all over her shirt.

Marshall narrating a filler episode almost makes up for the fact that he isn't there yet. Almost.

barney is a murderer

Mixed feelings about the episode rhyming, but that woman is beautiful.

SIMON! He's lookin' fiiine

As an English Ed. major, student teaching a class on rhyme tomorrow... is this really happening?

There once was a man from Nantucket...

Green screens are getting better with each episode

Marshall

Barney with The Derek Jeter.

Pickle Jar Bob. Beautiful.

Hah what a nice Don Corleone reference

This episode could be interesting. I remember another gimmick episode with a countdown. We remember how that ended. Love the rhymes regardless!!!

This has the potential to get reaaaally annoying...

Honestly, this episode didn't really make me laugh once. Disappointing.

After watching this episode, I tried to think of something witty.

But all that could think of: that episode was really shitty.

The Date Line. And How I Met Your Mother creates yet another brilliant thing.

Hah, I like what they did with the intro, how interesting

I don't know if I'll make it all the way through this...

You know what,Marshall? You can end any rhyme with 'meow'. Ask Colin Mochrie.

I've been very on and off about this season, but I absolutely hated this episode. Not only was it completely filler, but it was pretty goddamn annoying to have the rhyming gimmick all episode.

Staten Island Lou...Tuxedo Charlie....Pickle Jar Bob....Bronx Donnie....Captain Bill....

omg this is great.

The bus guy complained about the story then asked about a joint.

I though they called them sandwiches, wasn't that the point?
