for this list we're looking at some of
the best moments on How I Met Your
Mother
that still make us laugh to this day
number 10 but um in the season 5 episode
Jenkins Robin learns that Ted students
have made watching her morning news show
into a drinking game and watch her show
all the time
totally you do know what Ted
specifically they drink every time she
says but um before posing a question to
one of her guests that's why they watch
they made a drinking game out of you
every time you say but um they do a shot
but I don't say but um I've never said
but uh well then I guess it's not a very
good drinking game
frustrated that they weren't watching
the show because they actually liked it
and embarrassed for being so confident
she decides to take action into her own
hands Ted happens to be playing the game
with his students when Robin goes off
the rails saying but um every chance she
can get it's the rules
number 9 the doppelganger is have you
ever wondered if there's someone out
there in the world that looks exactly
like you well a running joke throughout
the show is that each member of the gang
has a doppelganger and they're all in
New York City just me or does that
stripper look exactly exactly
Ted mentions early in season 5 that
they've already found several of these
look-alikes
including lesbian Robin stripper Lily
Mexican wrestler Ted and mustache
Marshall and Mexican wrestler me yes
mine was the coolest by the end of the
season though as Lily and Marshall are
debating whether or not they're ready
for a baby they decide to start trying
when they find the last doppelganger
Barney's so we finally see Barney's
doppelganger that's the universe telling
us it's go time and that's where we'll
start trying you feel it's a sweet
moment when Lily claims to have spotted
him only for the rest of the gang to
realize she's just seeing what she wants
to see guys look the fifth doppelganger
Lily that dude looks nice
go with it kids
you can ask the universe for signs all
you want it's uncanny
number eight going to Philly this is one
of the earliest episodes of the show but
it sets up the characters personalities
perfectly barney drags ted to JFK to
pick up girls and after meeting two
women who were headed to Philadelphia
Barney persuades Ted to get on a plane
and follow them there follow them
tickets on me
Marshalls at home studying and the guys
tell him to hop in the Fiero and join
them hey guess where I am
come on already plane ready yeah that is
awesome is that Marshall Marshall stop
whatever you're doing get in that hoop
des Fiero of yours and come meet us in
Philly the most hilarious part of the
episode is when Marshall finally caves
and jumps in the car
but Ted and Barney keep giving him mixed
messages as to whether he should come or
not forcing him to do dangerous turns on
the freeway sorry buddy two against one
number seven Marshall and Lily's wedding
this episode was a perfect mix of a
hilarious and heartwarming when Marshall
and Lily finally tie the knot at the end
of the second season the lead-up to
their wedding was a classic comedy of
errors
can I ask you something where the
ceremony is the place where they ask if
anyone objects don't think they do that
anymore oh so when do you think someone
should do it just wait for a lull the
most outlandish part comes when Marshall
accidentally consents to getting
cool-guy tips from his hairdresser and
ends up with a terrible dye job ooh I
could give you some cool guy tips I
don't think I need advice on how to be
cool but yeah naturally in true How I
Met Your Mother fashion he responds to
this by shaving a massive bald stripe
into his head the guys aren't able to
think of any logical way to cover it up
cycling through many different options
before remembering that hats exist that
we thought of authentic Native American
headdress before we thought of hat
number six all the interventions
[Applause]
thank you in a series of flashbacks in
this season four episode we see the
gangs most famous tradition holding
light-hearted interventions for one
another when they're doing something
that the rest of the group wants them to
stop Marshall this is an intervention
it's about the Hat there's Marshalls
ridiculous hat
there's Lily's fake British accent
there's a nice bloody surprise what's
this about that there's Robin
spray-tanning
Barney's pyrotechnic magic tricks and
then of course there's the intervention
for all the interventions because we
agreed not to have any more stupid
interventions at our intervention
intervention we're having too many
interventions although the fun takes a
serious turn when Ted learns that the
group had planned an intervention about
his relationship with Stella the premise
is still a classic well what was it for
the Crocs the hair product Stella
number five the gangs bad habits when
Ted has a new girlfriend that the rest
of the gang doesn't like he begins
pestering the group to tell him what's
wrong with her let's hear it
what's wrong with Kathy are you kidding
me Ted she's got him you don't notice it
notice what oh he doesn't see it this
causes the group to talk about each of
their own flaws which as you can imagine
doesn't go well for Lily it's chewing
insanely loud for Marshall it's making
up ridiculous songs about every Monday
and thing he does for Ted it's always
correcting people when they misuse a
word oh my god is Frankenstein gonna
kill that little girl dr. Frankenstein
isn't in the scene that's Frankenstein's
monster for Robin it's improperly using
the word literally you mean figuratively
I mean literally and for Barney is a
number of things one of which is of
course number for the pineapple incident
this brain is unstoppable
this brain and that's all I remember
after Ted has a little okay a lot too
much to drink one night he wakes up in
bed with a strange woman a sprained
ankle and a pineapple we get to go along
for the ride as he tries to piece
together what happened to him the night
before and every step is more hilarious
than the last this episode shows off one
of How I Met Your mother's most famous
tricks by playing with an a
chronological narrative and it works
flawlessly to illustrate the true
mystery that is the pineapple incident
but after all the investigation we still
don't know where the pineapple came from
and we probably never will and now I'm
really really embarrassed
damn it Trudy what about the pineapple
number three Robin sparkles sorry I just
don't like holes why not I'd rather not
say when Robin reveals that she doesn't
ever want to go to a mall her friends
are desperate to find out the source of
her trauma they have a lot of theories
involving mall marriages and porn of
course but none of them could have
possibly imagined just how incredible
the truth could be Marshall you know
Marshall he thinks that the reason you
don't want to go to the mall the other
day is because you got married at a mall
and have a husband in Canada huh the
reality is that Robin was a minor
Canadian teen pop star in the 90s and
her major breakout hit was a song called
let's go to the mall that's right I know
your secret Robin or should I say Robin
sparkles
how do you know that name she went by
the moniker Robin sparkles and the music
video was everything they could have
hoped it would be
[Music]
number two this slap beds How I Met Your
Mother is kind of known for its running
gags and there is perhaps no one better
than the slop bet I've got it
the ultimate wager slap bet it actually
originated in the same episode as Robin
sparkles when Barney and Marshall made a
bet about who was right about Robins
past you can slap him what wait after a
complicated series of events in which
several unofficial slaps were doled out
Marshall is awarded five slaps that can
be executed whenever he so chooses
[Music]
it just got slapped leaders have
this leaves us with slaps looming over
Barney for the rest of the series a
situation which only gets worse for him
when Marshall gains three additional
slaps and many seasons later
[Music]
before we unveil our most hilarious
number-one pick here are some honorable
mentions geez never seen Star Wars hit
the only people in the universe who
haven't seen Star Wars are the
characters in Star Wars and that's
because they lived them dead that's
because they lived the Star Wars you
gotta calm down kids we used to do
something before concerts to enjoy them
more and that thing was to eat a
sandwich nated steak subs oh yeah
maybe I should feel weird about giving a
stranger my social security number but
the guy's a Nigerian prince sturgeon I
don't think so pal salmon I'm gonna say
that again salmon who thought that was a
good idea right number one swirlie mine
says swirly it's tough to pick the
funniest moment of this show but if we
were to pull fans we have a feeling a
lot of people would pick this one
sparely has everything you could expect
from How I Met Your Mother
and this next one's going out to swarley
all your friends know you miss Barney
but he's gone and you got to accept that
baby and swarley you're gonna be a
better woman for it
a barista thinks Barney's name is
sparely and the gang latches on to how
much he hates it turning it into a whole
thing steps where else no okay no no
more I will not let this become a thing
it's over no more swarley no swirls
no more soiree no more spar wait for it
no more
swirly Mon Marshall is starting to date
a new girl Chloe who just so happens to
be the barista Lily is losing her mind
about it and eventually stalks her down
the street and makes her think she's
being followed by a limping hunchback
wait if you were the hunchbacked and
light eunuch you're a guy
hey I might have used a voice to channel
my fish
it all ends with Marshall and Lily
getting back together which turned our
laughs into happy tears do you agree

comments and hey if you're a fan of the
