The 100
th episode of How I Met Your Mother was on last night with a flourish. The cast sang in suits. Although the episode was fun (and I adore
NPH singing) I was a little disappointed (as I have been all season) with the entire half hour. In honor of the 100
th episode of a normally awesome show
EW.com too the time to speak to the cast about their favorite
HIMYM moments. I thought about it and decided to come up with some of my own. Here they are in no
particular order.
The Naked Man episode. When Robin has sex with a loser date only because he is naked in her living room, Barney and Ted decide to try out the new method. The episode is made in the few minutes that it takes the two to decide which "pose" will work the best. I laugh just thinking about it.
- The 3 day rule. The beginning of this episode still has me laughing when Barney explains to Ted why he should wait 3 days to call a girl. The comparison to Jesus' resurrection is priceless and if this is not enough the texting between Ted and the girl (Barney and Marshall) leads all of us to believe that Ted is really a girl.
- I do concur with the cast on the New Years Eve episode when Ted rents a limo. Barney's mix CD that continues to go up and the search for the perfect party is a great tribute to a night that is always a letdown.
- The episode with the humiliating stories is another gem. This is a look back to when Barney was a long haired hippie who wants to join the Peace Corps. Barney uses the story to get everyone to humiliate themselves with their own embarrassing stories. Ted's re-return to Robin's is classic.
I am sure that I am missing a lot. These are the ones that came to mind first. Sadly the 100
th episode will not make the list but this does not mean that I don't have plenty to choose from. What are your favorites?
