    Another Enjoyable Episode

    Another great episode with Neil Patrick Harris again taking centre stage.

    Plot In A Paragraph: Barney tries to get Ted a job working with him and Marahall at GNB (Goliath National Bank) where Ted would be designing the banks new skyscraper. Meanwhile Robin starts spending time with one of Lily's work mates called Jillian and a bunch of Woo girls (girls who scream "WOOO" at every slight little thing) which disappoints Lily. So Lily then tries to join in with the Woo girls, so she does not feel like an old married lady.

    Neil Patrick Harris's performance during a rival architect firms sales pitch is nothing short of comedy gold. It's just great TV, that had me laughing out loud.

    Jamie Lynn Singer is very attractive in her role as Jillian

    I like the bit where they put Barney on the mechanical bull

    • Trivia
      When 'Sven' says what Barney Stinson does for a living, they ask,"Which of you is Barney Stinson, head of the search committee?" This explains how he got Ted a job so easily. It's mentioned at exactly 13 minutes and 11 seconds. The "Search Committee" is presumably for the new HQ building and a temporary assignment.
    • Goofs
      When Marshall is shown in his office, you can see his diploma on the wall. The diploma is from Ohio Wesleyan University, but Marshall, Ted, and Lily went to Wesleyan University.
    • Quotes

      Barney Stinson: The world absolutely needs Woooo girls. If there were no Woo girls, there would be no Girls Gone Wild, no bachelorette parties, no Las Vegas poolside bars. All the things that you hold dearest, Lily, would be gone.

      Lily Aldrin: Those are not the things...

      Barney Stinson: The souvenir shot glass industry would collapse. So would the body glitter industry... and the stretch Hummer limo industry. Tiny cowboy hats would only be worn by tiny cowboys. And when "Brown Eyed Girl" would come up on the jukebox, all you would hear would be silence... and "Brown Eyed Girl". But who would woo? Would you? Would you... woo?
