Everything You Missed Last Season On How I Met Your Mother



Here's your chance to catch up on everything you missed during last season's How I Met Your Mother. This comes at just the right time as HIMYM will be starting their sixth season on September 20th. Basically, Ted Moseby is still looking for Mrs Right. Barney and Robin are no longer together, much to the chagrin of Barney. Lily and Marshall are looking to make an addition to their family after seeing the Barney doppleganger. The dobblegangers were a whole thing last season, and Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) wanted to wait til they saw the alternative Barney before embarking on parenthood.

It turns out that the cabbie was Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) afterall just trying to score chicks. Jennifer Lopez guest starred as Barney's latest love interest as he and Robin (Cobie Smulders) cooled things off and Robin started dating her co-worker at the news station.

As a side note, Neil Patrick Harris scored an Emmy for his guest role on the hit series Glee. And How I Met Your Mother: Season 5 is on sale for pre-order but not available until Sept 15 - five days before the new season starts, so you'll really be all caught up.

Robin Will Be Living With Ted Moseby Next Year

Did you catch the end of How I Met Your Mother last night? There was a goat involved, and a spat between Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) and Ted Moseby (Josh Radnor) over Barney and Robin's tryst. In the episode, Ted confronts Barney over a very guilty Barney in a limo about Barney having slept with Robin (Cobie Smulders). Ted told Barney that he didn't want to be friends with Barney any longer and hopped out of the limo (Barney was taking Ted to Vegas to celebrate Ted 30th birthday). Barney was feeling terrible for having broken "The Bro Code" by sleeping with his bud's ex. (As a side note: Barney Stinson wrote The Bro Code, which gives his rules to live by).

Basically Ted let Barney know that Robin had told him about her night with Barney because she felt guilty herself, just as Barney was going to tell Ted about it himself.

What About The Goat?

Lily (Alyson Hannigan) had a goat (in a birthday hat, because, c'mon! A goat in a birthday hat is funny!) for Ted surprise birthday party, while Barney decided to surprise Ted himself by winging him off to Las Vegas to really kick off Ted's 30s with a bang. Actually Barney was doing this out of painful guilt.

At the very end of the show, Ted was telling his kids about the goat locking itself in the bathroom and it was eating one of Robin's face-clothes. Then Ted said - wait a minute... Robin's face-clothes? But Robin wasn't living there on his 30th birthday. He then said, oh that's right, the goat in the bathroom was on his 31st birthday. Implying Robin and Ted will be living together again next season. Hmmm...

How I Met Your Mother: "The Murtough List"

On the latest episode, Ted decides to add laser tag to his "Murtough List." This is a list of those things that he feels "he is just too old for this sh... stuff." In a flashback Ted shows several different things he has added to the list, like the infamous beer bong. Waking up verrry hungover, Ted decided to put together the list. Then of course, Barney, always worthy of a challenge, pledges to do everything on Ted's list in one 24 hour period. He rushes off to the bathroom and pierces his ear (which promptly becomes infected), sleeps over at a friend's on a borrowed futon rather than get a hotel room.

The next day Barney is a bit stiff and his ear is starting to ache, but he makes Ted promise to break into the laser tag place and toilet paper the joint (Ted immediately put laser tag on the list). Barney meanwhile helps friends move from their 6th floor walkup when they move in exchange for pizza and beer. Robin says she thought the "movers" were actually robbing the place because they were in such a hurry and left all the pictures on the walls. Barney meanwhile injures his knee.

All through this, Marshall is teaching Lily's kinder-tots how to play basketball (Lily sees this as prep work for when Marshall becomes a daddy). Marshall runs the kids ragged as her yells at them to shape up and be winners.

Barney attends an all-night rave with Lily as his witness ("Someone gave me some aspirin, but I don't think it was aspirin!" whimpers Barney). Marshall's team of under-sized ball players plays another school and gets beat severely, (53-0 by the first half). Marshall says later that the other team got even taller (you see huge players running around Marshall's rugrats). One even turned into a teen wolf (a la Michael J. Fox).

Barney in the end gives up on completing the Murtough list, but Ted convinces that they are really not getting old because "Murtough always said that he was too old for that stuff, but then he would go out and do more stuff." Ted tells Barney that they are going to T-P the laser tag arena and Barney cheers, then says "and then we go to the hospital" as he winces in pain.

How I Met Your Mother: Cool Internet Tie-Ins

If you are a fan of the show How I Met Your Mother, you know all about the websites that the writers of the show have put up on the internet. Here's a list of the websites associated with the show in the past:

TedMosbyIsAJerk.com
BarneysVideoResume.com
MysteriousDrX.com

The "Ted Mosby Is A Jerk" website was a big part of one episode where one of the many women that Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) had screwed over put up the website as she believed she had been dating Ted Mosby. Barney of course had told her that he was Ted. When the woman confronts Barney (still calling him Ted), he realizes the situation (that he can stick it to his buddy Ted), he yells to the patrons in a restaurant "I'm Ted Mosby and I am a terrible, terrible person!" He insists the girl keep the website running and you can visit the website to this day.

Barney Finds CanadianSexActs On The Web

In a recent episode, one character, Robin (Cobie Smulders) tells the group about an encounter with an unnamed Canadian celebrity who tried to talk her into doing a sex act that she was too embarrassed to tell them about. They decide to try to guess and Barney takes a look at the website CanadianSexActs.org, another site the writers have come up with. The website is all good clean fun and looks like it is a government run information website. Marshall asks "Dot org?" To which Barney replies, "They're just tring to get that information out there."

Did Robin Scherbatsky Do A "Full Mountie" With Bryan Adams?

The gang tries to figure out what the reluctant Robin refused to do and who the famous Canadian was that propositioned her. Using the website, they ask if she "did a Reverse Rick Moranis, with Rick Moranis" or maybe she did A "Full Mountie" With Bryan Adams. If you visit the website, CanadianSexActs.org you'll find a very humorous list of "sex acts" like an "Old King Clancy" (that's the name of this episode of the series), a "Sticky Flapjack", and a "Newfoundland Lobster Trap" among many others. Thumbs up to How I Met Your Mother for another great tie-in.

But who did Robin do this with and WHAT WAS THE ACT? You have to watch the show to find that out.
