How I Met Your Mother/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

* [[Awesome Ego]]: Barney.

* [[Base Breaker]]: From the evidence on message boards, it seems that if you watch the show, you either love Lily and think she's a hilarious and endearing character and wonderful wife, or think she's a mean, shallow, selfish bitch who doesn't deserve Marshall. The latter is probably a vocal minority, but the split is quite noticeable.

** 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...]]

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: 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.

Line 86:

*** Later, {{spoiler|in a season three episode, we learned that 'Aunt' Robin appeared prominently in the pictures drawn by Ted's kids.}}

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:

** Not that watching a gay man play straight is hilarious, but much like his role in the [[Harold ~~and~~ Kumar]] series, the extreme ''degree'' to which Neil Patrick Harris's character womanizes was cast in a humorous, ironic light after the actor announced his homosexuality.

** Pre-infamous-Jason Segel-nudity-in-[[Forgetting Sarah Marshall]]:

{{quote|'''Barney''': [after being slapped in the face by Marshall] Ow. Your hand is monstrous.

Line 152:

** Also applies to Lily as she is deceitful and manipulative yet again nobody calls her on it.

** Ted actually ''does'' call her on this during one episode over her obvious attempts to break him up with Karen. Of course, it kind of falls flat considering that he ends up breaking up with Karen ''anyway''. One [[Alternate Character Interpretation|wonders]] if she ''[[Magnificent Bastard|planned it that way.]]''

* [[Rescued ~~From~~ the Scrappy Heap]]: "As Fast As She Can" redeemed Stella in the eyes of some.

* [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]]: "As Fast As She Can" redeemed Stella in the eyes of some.

* [[The Scrappy]]:

** Zoey. "Oh no, I'm married to Kyle McLachlan and don't like boats." Ted even ''[[Creator's Pet|shills]]'' her at the end of "Natural History"!
