*** Of note is that this is still "the day of a wedding," but it's not Barney's, obviously.

Line 125 ⟶ 121:
* Obviously there are a whole host of ways this could be wrong, from Ted not actually narrating the dialogue word-for-word to the kids being too shocked by the stripper thing to point out that the name is wrong. But it still bears mentioning.
* Or perhaps the kids thought Tracy may have been a stage name.
** She ''had'' given Ted a fake name, then (after he did nothing but tell her his name, which set up for the joke in his next line) immediately
*** Confirmed!
Line 300 ⟶ 296:
== Ted has been dead for years. ==
* The man telling the story to the children is obviously not Ted - their voices are completely different. But he's representing himself as Ted in the story and pretending to be the children's biological father. The easiest explanation is that Ted died when the children were very young, long enough ago that they have no real memory of him. Their mother married the story-telling man soon afterwards and convinced them that he was their father, either to spare them trauma or for some more sinister purpose. Robin, Marshall, and Lily are in on the deception too, as the children have met them without the secret being revealed.
** In the fifth episode of season 3, we see Ted alive and well during the mid 2020s, when the children would have been about ten; and the photo in the den which is described in the 3rd episode of season 2 has the Ted we know and love. If Story Telling Man isn't Ted, then they should have noticed. ({{
** This theory has been [[Jossed]]. [[Word of God]] says they'll never pull something like that and the person telling the story in 2030 really is Ted.

Line 351 ⟶ 347:
This is why Ted is telling the story himself, and in such great detail, without any participation whatsoever by the mother.
This theory was first proposed in [
* Alternatively, their mother absolutely loathes Marshall, Lily, Robin, and Barney, and can't stand talking about them. That's why she's not there, and the story of why she hates them so much will provide some drama for the final season.
** Actually, Ted going to such depths in the story is from back in Season 2, he told his parents that when he had kids, he would tell them every detail of the story of how he met... well, you know. Ted's mom and dad couldn't go into deep personal discussions, remember, and it seems Future Ted has done a good job of not turning out the same.

== Barney's doppelganger will be a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]] of characters played by [[Neil Patrick Harris|NPH]]. ==
He will be an [[Glee|amateur musical actor from Ohio]] who is in New York to be in a play about an [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Ineffectual Sympathetic]] [[
