Robots vs. Wrestlers

I loved how Ted found some people who share mutual interests like poetry and arts. I loved how they gathered at the end with Robin coming back to the gang. The show indicates what a true friendship is and makes it so heartwarming. Thank you.

This episode features Ted Mosby at his pretentious worst it is a side of him I really enjoy seeing, and almost this full episode is devoted to it.

Plot In A Paragraph: Barney worried that the gang is drifting apart, when he gets five tickets to "Robots Versus Wrestlers" (something he considers will be a new tradition for the gang to attend every year) and Robin (who is still upset from the events of the previous episode) refuses to go, and Ted decides to to stay at a snobbish party.

Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel try hard, but sadly it is not enough to raise the quality of this substandard episode that follows hot on the heels from the last substandard episode.

With only two episodes left of season five, "How I Met Your Mother" needs to seriously get back to the excellent episodes like "girls versus suits" and "the playbook" from earlier in the season.

I like how they make fart noises every time ted says stuff

It is episodes like this that made me LOVE this show. Don't take it too seriously or analyze it. Just enjoy the shenanigans.

Yes...the show overall is about Ted and the mother. But it's really just about friends being friends and all the crazy athey do. This is just Ted to the nth degree of his Tedness...and its great. Juxtaposed with the polar opposite of robots and wrestlers.

It's very rare to see Ted in his element. Whenever he talked about things that he loves, he always gets shutdown and I don't really like seeing that in another person. I'm an author, and none of my friends read books, let alone books in the same genre that I write in so sometimes I feel isolated because I'm unable to share a big part of my life with them.

Seeing Ted find people who didn't belittle him, but rather understood him, made my heart a little warmer.
