Line 70:
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]
* [[Informed Flaw]]: In "Jenkins", the gang consider Marshall a "reacher" to Lily's "settler" in which he would never get anybody better then Lily. Since when this is mention, Marshall is working as a lawyer to a big company and is a fun [[Nice Guy]] and with Lily at worst being a tad bit manipulative and has credit card issues, this is hard to believe.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: He sometimes sees himself as this on account of: his love of the environment, and who he works for (At least when he worked at GNB).
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Turns out the fights he had with his brothers are all true.
** [[Eye Scream|COCOA BREAK!]]
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]
 
 
=== Lily Aldrin ===
Line 171:
* [[Eighties Hair]]: In her music videos as Robin Sparkles in the 90's, no less, because the 80's hit Canada late!
* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]/[[Gender Blender Name]]/[[Tomboyish Name]]: Robin Charles Scherbatsky, Jr. (Her father was in denial because he wanted a son.)
* [[Eskimos Aren't Real]]: Robin believed that the North Pole and reindeer were made up.
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: It's been hinted a lot that Lily has a crush on her.
{{quote|"Robin Scherbatsky is many things: friend; confidant; ''occasional guest star in some confusing dreams that remind me a woman's sexuality is a moving target'', but she is no crazy, jealous stalker-bitch."}}
Line 183 ⟶ 182:
* [[Les Yay]]: After hearing that Lily had wished to have a lesbian experience, Robin leans down and kisses her on the lips.
* [[Master of the Mixed Message]]: With Ted, and then later with Barney.
* [[Meganekko]]: Starting in season six, Robin, played by the already ridiculously hot [[Cobie Smulders]], actually managed to get even hotter by donning a pair of glasses.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: There are a lot of eye-catching moments.
* [[Music Video]]: Two, [[Stylistic Suck|heinously awful]] [[So Bad It's Good|and amusing]].
Line 189 ⟶ 188:
* [[Old Shame]]: Robin Sparkles.
* [[Raised as the Opposite Gender]]: Until she kissed a boy.
* [[EskimosReindeer Aren't Real]]: Robin believed that the North Pole and reindeer were made up.
* [[Robot Buddy]]: In both ''Let's Go To The Mall'' and ''Sandcastles In The Sand''. It was her sidekick.
* [[Running Gag]]: Sometimes whenever the gang tells her something about herself that is absolutely obvious, she laughs hysterically while denying it, followed by a quick "Shut Up!".
Line 227:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: When they could still comment on Ted's stories anyway. [[In the Blood|Probably got it from dad.]]
* [[No Name Given]]: Though Ted has repeatedly expressed the desire to name them [[Shout-Out Theme Naming|Luke and Leia]]
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]]: Forced on the producers because of the expected length of the show's run compared to the [[Framing Device]] that it's all being told to the narrator's children in a ''much'' shorter period of time. The production team solved the dilemma by using [[Stock Footage]] of the children -- usually the same second-season shot, but also filming a [[Reaction Shot]] during Season 2 for use when Future!Ted finally finishes his story.
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]]: Currently the "reaction" of the kids are only stills from a previous clip.
** [[Word of God]] has stated that they already shot the ending of the series at the start of season 2, so that when the show ''does'' end, Ted's kids don't rapidly age several years when their dad finishes his story.
* [[Shout-Out Theme Naming]]
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]
