James Sparkles that just made the episode for me

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

If only he had red cowboy boots. RIP RCB.

bmoreraven

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

[deleted]

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.

Herbrrt_Mewver

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

Pepe__Silvia

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

Raktoner

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.

yellowumbrellaz

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'

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

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

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.

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

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

GamerKingFaiz

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

Barney: "Please push the button!"

He should start talking about penguins!

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

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

[deleted]

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.

ilaughlikemandark

Your cops are called "Mounties".

Best Canadian insult in the series.

I think they'll get everyone there while Marshall walks in with nobody at the Farhampton.

Please tell me everybody noticed the couple getting older behind them during the montage

Please

After Conan Obrien showed up in the background I always look just to be safe

Wait what!? When did that happen!?

Yeah....

Barney just topped every romantic Ted moment ever.

bustedracquet

I have a feeling that there will be a Ted/Mother scene that shits on even this amazing moment that Barney did for Robin.

ramesali786

I hope so, Ted deserves the top moment

Agreed. I terribly miss seeing Ted in all his romantic glory.

So Robin somehow got into a Lazer-Tag security office without noticing an ice-skating rink... then the walls all were raised to reveal it all. What?

kellyspeace

If Barney went through all the trouble to get a "Ice store 6mi" sign made then I'm sure he had it figured out.

Was it just me, or did this episode feel like the old himym? I absolutely loved it.

Smunny

Wayne Brady bitch!

Jah-Eazy

What up with Lily's acting this season? I swear, every time she talks now, all I see are her opening her eyes wide and exaggerating her eyebrow and facial movements.

PShorty

I think it's because Lily has been drinking throughout the wedding, so she is slightly drunk this entire time.

Calling it: Everyone's at the ice rink for the rehearsal dinner. Marshall enters an empty Inn. The Mother is there setting up, and gives Marshall some piece of advice/confidence to hash things out with Lily.
