Episode Discussion S09E21 - "Gary Blauman" (Here be spoilers!)

In this episode of HIMYM: Ted telling a story to his kids about Ted telling a story to their mom about Ted telling a story about Ted telling a story about Theodore Roosevelt.

Marshall judging someone else's wedding hair lol

"Gary Blauman" aka the Goodbye to all the iconic supporting characters, that was awesome

Have I ever told you how I met your father...it was at a party!

JEANETTE AND KEVIN HOLY SHIT

Judge Big Fudge taking control of the courtroom.

BARNEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD

Lol, "Happy Something or Other" banner.

I ........have no particular feelings towards gary blauman.

If anyone is coming out of season nine ahead, it's Billy Zabka. For reviving his recognition and by playing himself so people will actually know his real name in public.

"The last new How I Met Your Mother before the finale." STOP IT CBS. STOP REMINDING ME.

TED AND THE MOTHERS FIRST KISS OMFG

Blah Blah's name is Carrol!

That mini-montage of all those old characters was perfect.

Tuckahoe Funland, Wharmpess beer advertisements on the window, loving the subtle details so far!

Awww! I'm glad they had a nice little bit about some of the minor characters. It really brings things together and wraps them up nicely. When they probably do this with the main characters in the last episode, it's gonna be freaking heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

So is Ted telling the mother about how Blauman cock blocked him one time? because that would've been awkward.

IS THIS THEIR FIRST DATE? OH MY LORD IT'S ALMOST THE MOMENT WE'VE BEEN WAITING 9 YEARS FOR

Marshall either gets to do doggie, or anal for his bday

I'm gonna guess Blauman did something completely innocent and normal to Barney, like the Meatball Sub incident.

EDIT: Took 4 of his fries, including the accidental curly. Never mind, Blauman is the Devil reincarnate.

The Mother is able to listen to Ted's stories without going, "Ted..." on the first date. She's a keeper.

Oh wow... Ted managed to stay with the Mother BECAUSE his stories are so long!!!! Carter and Craig are BRILLIANT.

Ted totally planned to arrive at the cliffhanger to get invited up. If he's learned one thing from Barney, that's it.

Really...it's Gary's fault your family broke up? Not your fault for cheating?

"What are you doing?"

"Remembering this."

:')

Did anyone else check if William Zabka actually writes poetry?

Blauman's gay? That makes his behavior in "Life Among Gorillas" a little suspect

With the exception of Patrice, James, and maybe one or two others, we won't be seeing these supporting characters again :(

I'd sweep the leg and put you in a body bag.

Books change you, kids. Not even once.

That was the best ending for a HIMYM episode for the series. I love the Where Are They Now? tag for several of the characters.

This episode gave off a we're wrapping up the show vibe...this is really happening isn't it?

"Point, comma, get to the damn!" I am laughing way too hard at this.

SCOOTER!! SO MANY LOOSE ENDS TIED!! OMG BLITZ

Oh the awkward early relationship hug.... I love them

It looks like lawyered has evolved

Wait I'm like 99% sure that they said Blauman was dead.

There was an episode a while back, I forget which one exactly, but Blauman was getting chewed out by Bilson at a meeting so he was like "You know what Bilson, you can kiss my ass!" and then went to pee on the table and Barney said something along the lines of "His cousins website tanked, he became a janitor and now he's dead"

Am I the only one that remembers this?

*Edit: It was S03E15 - "The Chain of Screaming"

Love the use of Robin's actual husband.

Her name was Carol!

Bit of a detective? Oh, Ted...

Love that they're showing their first date. I thought this show would skip that. They're saving him MEETING the mother for last but showing us everything after that before it. I love it

Barney's story of the accidental curly fry thief is one of the best monologues in the series.
