Line 23:
** Stella. She became [[The Scrappy]] after "Shelter Island." About half the fanbase thinks "As Fast As She Can" [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|redeemed]] her; the other half thinks it made her [[Up to Eleven|even WORSE]].
** Ted has a split similar to Lily's, but there's a notable trend for his haters to be extreme Barney fans. Given the fact that Ted and Lily are far less willing than Robin and Marshall to ignore Barney's bad behavior, [[Misaimed Fandom|it's hard to stop certain suspicions from emerging...]]
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: Barney and Robin's dance in the seventh season premiere. Very sudden, very elaborate and the rest of the reception joins in, and then completely ignored the second the song ends.
** The [[Noodle Incident|green dress]] became one in "Now We're Even".
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdCBwMJ4xEY Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit!]
Line 40:
** Vampire Weekend's "Oxford Comma," playing during a hilarious sequence which switches from {{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Funny|Ted not realizing he's in the wrong class and Barney and Robin denying they're boyfriend and girlfriend.]]}}
** A certain scene concerning Ted's career was appropriately accompanied by The Decemberists' "Here I Dreamt I was an Architect"
** Parodied in ''The Limo'' where Barney's mix tape is "all rise" in order to "get psyched". As it keeps being restarted we only ever hear the first track, Bon Jovi's ''You Give Love A Bad Name'', although the full track list is available [https://web.archive.org/web/20131022160010/http://www.legen-waitforit.com/barney/2005_12_01_archive.html on his blog]. The song is then used as a straight example near the end of the episode.
** 'Girls vs. Suits'. '''Seriously'''.
** "''You Just Got Slapped''".
Line 82:
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]:
** A season 1 episode has Barney courting a bridesmaid, his excuse for never seeing her again being that in the morning he's shipping out with the Peace Corps for two years. We find out mere episodes later that {{spoiler|his [[Start of Darkness]] was getting stood up by his girlfriend the day they were supposed to ship out with the Peace Corps together for two years.}}
** Immediately before his first date with Stella, Ted acknowledges--foracknowledges—for probability's sake--thatsake—that {{spoiler|the relationship will probably end on a bad note.}}
** {{spoiler|Several times during the first few season, Robin talks about she doesn't want kids. In season seven, we learn she ''can't'' have kids.}}
*** Later, {{spoiler|in a season three episode, we learned that 'Aunt' Robin appeared prominently in the pictures drawn by Ted's kids.}}
Line 140:
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Zoey actually keeping the recording of Ted praising the Arcadian and using it against Ted.
** Tony writing (and probably therefore, Stella condoning) "The Wedding Bride".
* [[OT3One True Threesome]]: Barney/Robin/Ted.
{{quote|'''Victoria''': Who's Barney's ex?
'''Ted''': Robin.
Line 148:
** Also, Marshall/Lily/Ted:
{{quote|'''Marshall:''' Deep in the Amazon rainforest, there is a tree that only grows around the body of an existing tree. It cannot survive without this tree; it's supported by this tree. Lily, we are that tree...we grew around Ted and without him we're slowly dying!}}
** One might even speculate that part of the reason Ted's romances keep failing is because he's entangled in two [[OT3One True Threesome]]'s and can't focus on a person from outside of his group. He even explicitly declares that he will never get serious with a woman who doesn't like his friends.
* [[Protagonist-Centered Morality]]: Ted and the gang constantly refer to Barney as disgusting and despicable for his womanizing.Yet Ted has done things just as bad as Barney on a lower.He has tried to hooku up with two married women tried to cheat on Victoria with Robin ,as had casual sex and as tried to ride the "Tricycle".
** Also applies to Lily as she is deceitful and manipulative yet again nobody calls her on it.
