We're officially in the year when Ted teared up while chatting with Tracy, hinting at her eventual demise.

Regarding the hate for the characters

I feel like people don’t hate on Barney as much cause it’s obvious he’s a character, like me personally I’ve never met an irl Barney so for me it’s easy to not judge as hard cause he’s “fake”, but for the others, they are people you relate or probably met sometime in your life so it’s easy to judge more. This isn’t to say that Barney is flawless but I find that really the only times I’ve judged him were for cheating, and his insensitivity towards robin after they broke up, all the other times he’s rude to Marshall or Ted, it’s so eccentric that you make the connection that “oh that would never happen irl”, well for me at least again

why the hate for lily and robin?

i see a lot of people really disliking lily and robin on this sub and i never really got why. i mean, if you personally don't like them, thats's alright, but i have often seen people calling them the worst of the group.

they obviously have flaws (like every other character), but i feel like for female characters in general and lily and robin in particular, people pay more attention to those flaws, than everything else. i've literally seen people say lily is the worst person ever, because she manipulates relationships (which is obviously still wrong) or robin, because she "keeps leading ted on", while barney literally SOLD A WOMAN.

Who is your favorite How I Met Your Mother character?

Who is your favorite How I Met Your Mother character?

Since I can't compared friends and HIMYM here, (lol), without everyone telling me this is the HIMYM sub.

Let's just ask, which HIMYM character is your favorite?

Stuart

This character was always confusing to me. Stuart was at both Barney and Marshall’s wedding (I’d assume Ted’s as well), was one of four people invited to Marshall’s bachelor party, had the gang minus Robin at his wedding, had the gang show up at his intervention, had Marshall and Lily over to meet his daughter before she even had a name, and had Ted at his daughter’s baptism. For a guy who seems to have a strong friendship with the crew, they don’t seem to see him that often. Also, he’s never in any of Ted’s older stories so I have no idea how far back they go.

I made a survey for my AP research class which was initially inspired by this show

Hey I'm currently taking an AP Research class in high school and i need responses from teenagers (13-18) for my survey about TV characters. It would mean a lot if you could answer it. It takes around 3 mins.

Guess the scene #4. Hint: It's not "I only have one rule" Difficulty: Hard (only legendary HIMYM fans can guess this one)

Robin Sparkles!

it would’ve been so funny if, instead of Breakfast Club, the whole gang dressed up as Robin Sparkles for Halloween! (currently on my 4th watch and forgot how much love i have for this show)

Is anyone else watching on Hulu having weird volume issues?

Every 2 or 3 episodes, the volume goes down a lot. I have to turn my volume up by at least 15-20 notches, which is jarring when it automatically goes to the next episode (or I go to a different streaming service or show altogether) and the volume is back to normal. I know it's not me, because it happens on 2 different TVs and my tablet.

The season 6 scene in the museum, when Ted tells The Captain not to erase Zoey’s tape, is one of the most profound scenes in the show

The look on Zoey’s face when she realizes someone who hates her respects her more than her own husband does is… powerful. Despite their differences Ted saw her as a worthy opponent, while her husband wrote her off as blithe and frivolous. The feeling of “the person I’m with doesn’t respect me” is all too familiar for a lot of people, I think that’s why the scene speaks to me.

How exactly did Barney and Heather "teach Ted a lesson"?

How is pretending to "do it" gonna teach Ted that they're beyond the person Ted thought they were? I really didn't understand what happened there. Also, Ted had every reason to doubt Barney's intentions. He also had every reason to doubt Heather's determination.

If anyone can enlighten me, please.

The building the Arcadian was based on was recently demolished.

So according to the fandom page of HIMYM the Arcadian was based on the Hotel Pennsylvania, and looking at its Wikipedia page I just learned it was demolished last year... poor Zoey must be in shambles.

Do you prefer HIMYM or Friends? I'm understanding that it an HIMYM sub, but I asked a similar question in the Friends subreddit.

Which do you prefer between HIMYM and Friends?

If you had to pick, or you can say both if you'd like to if you give reasons for it.

The Window

One scene that just makes me happy every single time is the beginning of The Window (s5e10) when Marshall gets the box from his mom with the he-man arm and book of madlibs. I'm 99% sure the cast didn't know what was written in that madlib book before Marshall read it - his but even moreso Robin's laugh seem so genuine I just love it and refuse to believe that's just acting.

That's all. What other unscripted-seeming moments do you like?

"I'm not ready for this". The fact is, we will never ready for this. But what if when the time comes, there is no one to hug like Marshall hugged Lily while he's crying? In that case, everythings would be so much harder.
