How I Met Your Mother Episodes

Nostalgia is rushing at us faster now. On Thursday’s finale, we’ll reminisce about 2007.

As usual, there are lots of quips (Michael Ian Black is especially good) and clips.

Tonight, people speak fondly of “Zoolander” and post-9/ll unity. They ponder “Who Let the Dogs Out?” (”eight years later and we still don’t know the answer”) and more.

Gilbert Gottfried eyes “Moulin Rouge” warily: “The director (said), ‘Can we do that again, but make it a lot more gay?’ ”

‘Bachelorette’ is down to 4 guys

TONIGHT’S MIGHT-SEE: “The Bachelorette,” 8-10 p.m., Channel 53 (ABC).

DeAnna Pappas visits the homes of the final four guys.

Then she trims to the three whom she’ll invited on overnight dates next week. We’re guessing they’ll say yes.

Other choices

• “Big Bang Theory,” 8 p.m., Channel 6 (CBS). Here’s the rerun of an exceptionally funny episode. Desperate to avoid hearing Penny’s awful singing voice, Sheldon lies. Soon, that lie grows to grand proportions.

• “Middleman,” 8 p.m., ABC Family. When last week’s fun opener began, Wendy Watson was a low-key artist and receptionist. Now all of that has changed considerably. Tonight, she descends into the underworld to stop the Earth from being barraged by fire.

• “How I Met Your Mother,” 8:30 p.m., Channel 6. The friends share memories linked to Marshall’s car, which is in the shop.

• “Nashville Star,” 9 p.m., Channel 10 (NBC). Last week was so-so, partly because songs were scrunched into an absurd, 70- second time limit. Tonight, the 10 surviving acts each tackle a pop song. I blog after each episode of “Star” and (on Wednesdays and Thursdays) “So You Think You Can Dance.

• “The Lost Pyramid,” 9 p.m., History Channel. Alongside the three Great Pyramids of Gaza, historians feel, there was once a fourth. Here’s an interesting, revisionist look at its remains and the emperor who built it, more than 4,000 years ago.

For me this episode was not outstanding, not so great and was just good. Definitely a notch up episode. Everything is working perfectly, then happens something, a very little thing which takes the show off kilter. It was what happened with last How I Met Your Mother. Episode was the funniest episode and there was some moment that should have been the great but was not. Watch this episode for free here.

James Van Der Beek, while not a native Canadian, can certainly fake and exaggerate the accent like a pro. Why Robin finds him so resistless so many years later; the fact was a little odd at first. But I found it one of the most realistic reactions on TV ever, when was explained. Lily’s friend Michelle was incredibly funny. Robin’s musical past comes forth when the whole group learns about someone named Simon. Ted tries to spend more time with Stella. Meanwhile, Barney is searching for more Robin Sparkles memorabilia.

Following are the quotes which I found the best from episode:

Robin: Hey, Simon!
Simon: Ohh, look at you! You got old.
Robin: Yeah. You look great! You got hotter, like that’s possible! So…

Barney: You’re the most awesome person I’ve ever known. Well, second most awesome.
Robin: Right, of course the first being you.
Barney: No, no. The first is this guy who lives in a place called the mirror. What up?

Marshall: So is he the guy who, how shall I say this like a gentleman…Robin, did he take your “maple leaf”?
Robin: No, it wasn’t like that.

I hope you’ve not missed this episode. Nay! I can’t. Well, all How I Met your mother episodes are available online.

Barney: Snow-suit up!

---

Barney: It’s going to be legendary!
Ted: Don’t say that! You’re too liberal with the word “legendary”.
[flashback to Barney standing at Ted's door in snow gear with a shovel]
Barney: We’re building an igloo in Central Park! It’s going to be legendary! Snow-suit up!

---

Marshall: I think we’re going to wait on the baby thing. I mean I love babies. Babies rule. Pudgy arms and stuff. But, uh, they make you old. Kinda like this anchor weighing you down to one spot… forever.
Claire: I’m three months pregnant.
Marshall: [surprised] Not awkward, guys. Not awkward if we don’t let it be awkward.
[nervously smiles, then walks away]

Barney: Elbert “Ickey” Woods, the Bengals were fools to cut you in ‘91. Your 1,525 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns will not be forgotten. So, Coach Dave Shula, screw you and your crappy steakhouse!

---

Barney: Was that chick at the end really a client?

---

Barney: Suit up!

---

Ted: I’m gonna do what that guy couldn’t, I’m gonna take the plunge… Well, I guess that’s not a perfect metaphor since… for me it’s falling in love and for him it’s… death.
Barney: Actually, that is a perfect metaphor.

Ted: Can we maybe scoop stuffing for a while?
Barney: You wanna scoop stuffing on your first day?
[sarcastically makes phone with his hands and holds it to his ear]
Barney: Hello, NFL, can I be quarterback next Sunday?

---

Ted: So, you’re a reporter?
Robin: Sorta, I do those fluff stories at the end of the show, like… Monkey can play a violin. I’m hoping for some bigger stories.
Ted: Bigger… like, a Gorilla with an upright bass? Sorry, you’re very pretty.

---

Barney: Ted, your problem is all you do is think, think, think. I’m teaching you how to do, do, do.
Marshall: Doo-doo!
[laughs]
Barney: [chuckles] Totally.

---

Ted: At least someone appreciates the fact that I am doing and not thinking.
[pause]
Ted: And now, I don’t think I won’t not go to the bathroom.

---

Lily: You’re playing hockey. With a basketball… and tennis rackets?
Marshall: It’s BaskIceball, the greatest game ever. We invented it. it’s Awesome!
Lily: Wait, BaskIceball? shouldn’t it be Iceketball?
Marvin Eriksen Sr.: Ice… Ket… ball? that just sounds weird.
Marcus Eriksen: The game is BaskIceball. And I’m the best.
Lily: Well, maybe that’s just cause you haven’t seen *me* play.
[Lily throws the basketball to Marcus who throws it back to Marshall]
Marshall: Well, it’s not exactly a sport for girls.
Lily: Well, that’s funny cause your brother throws like a girl!
[Lily throws the ball back to Marcus]
Lily: [Marcus throws the ball hard and hits Lily in the face]

---

Lily: Hey, nice shirt, Ted. Is it yesterday already?

---

Barney: Ted, tonight we’re gonna go out. We’re gonna meet some ladies, it’s gonna be *legendary*. Phone-five!
[slaps cell-phone]
Barney: You didn’t phone-five, did you?
[pause]
Barney: I know when you don’t phone-five Ted.

---

Marshall: I’m not a gay pirate, I have sex with my parrot all the time!
[there is an awkward silence]
Marshall: OK, that came out wrong.

---

Ted: You’re not… Moby, are you?
Not Moby: Who?
Ted: The recording artist, Moby.
Not Moby: Oh, no.
Ted: Then why, when we said “Hey, Moby” did you come over here?
Not Moby: Oh, I thought you said Tony.
Ted: So your name’s Tony?
Not Moby: No.

---

Lily: [Lily sees Barney hitting on Claudia] Oh, hell. No!
[grabs Barney by the ear and yanks him away from Claudia]
Lily: Claudia is getting married tomorrow and so help me God if I catch you even so much as breathing the same air as her I will take those peanuts you’re trying to pass off as testicles and I will squeeze them so hard until your eyes pop out and then I’ll feed them to you like grapes.
Barney: [confused] Wait… my eyes? Or my testicles?
Lily: [pause, thinks about it] One of each!

---

Marshall: A drumroll? So what? that’s it? You just said good night, went home and… performed the drum solo?

---

Barney: Haaaaave you met Ted?

---

Barney: It’s gonna be legen… wait for it… dary!

---

Barney: It’s gonna be legend-… wait for it… and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is DAIRY!

Barney: What’s that left hand? Right hand suck? Word!

---

Barney: What’s that? Self five? Nice! We out!

---

Ted: So, who are we picking up?
Barney: I dunno… her? Or maybe her…
Ted: Wait, so when you said we were going to pick someone up at the airport, you meant we were going to *pick someone up* at the airport?
Barney: Yeah…
Ted: You’re kidding!
Barney: False!

---

Ted: Hey Barney, see that girl?
Barney: Ohhh yeah, you just know she likes it dirty!
