I want to know what's involved in Barney's amazing weight loss plan!
You know he wasn't really that fat right? Ted explained it was just their perception and that he only had a mild 'relationship' gut.

This show needed Barney to be Barney again.
He was too good a character in his own right to have ever been screwed with. Nothing bothers me more when TV horn dogs like Sam Malone and Charlie Harper all of a sudden become something they're not that made them so likeable to begin with. |

Well, I think we're on that road again. As a matter of fact, I saw an article postulating that HIMYM just hit the reset button -- makes sense with the
hero entrance into the bar and Barney rushing away to find yet more Robin Sparkles footage.

But yeah, old Ted in narrative mode said that that they didn't look this bad, to to him & Marshall/Lilly they did. Cute little note I saw on the rewatch: Marshall & Lilly porn-lifting the tapes as they left Ted's. Of course, Lilly only got Squat... |

Yeah I didn't even really notice how Robin was looking till near the end of the episode, but once I did it was so full of win.

I never want to watch another episode revolving around Barney's rules, Barney's books or Barney's lessons ever again. In fact, after tonight's
rehashing of the same old Barney bullshit, I just may be officially over him.

Way to copy the "Captain Morgan" commercials. Still funny though.

My favorite part was the google search page they had for Lorenzo von Matterhorn...the favorite of which was the following:
Lorenzo von Matterhorn is not a jerk ...while a supporter of the fairer sex, he does not approve of adult entertainment. This is why Mr. Matterhorn has personally given money to TedMosbyIsAJerk.com, a website that tells the truth of one "star" of this particular industry. Anytime they bring it back to TedMosbyIsAJerk.com its awesome. |

I'm all for shout-outs to past funny HIMYM bits, but I've come to expect a lot more from this show.

What are you all bitching about?! That was the second awesome ep in a row!
From MILSWANCA's to the denouement of the Scuba Diver, this ep was on fire! Wikipedia and its minions have already deleted the Lorenzo von Matterhorn entries, but if you freeze fram the fake websites on Shelley's phone, you'll get the gist. As a fellow sufferer of phallumegaly, I feel his shame though. Glad it's now off of the web. And agreeance, anything that calls back to TedMosbyIsAJerk.com just ratchets up the awesomeness. ETA: wiki's now got an entry back up, 'splaining that it was hoax, but the related articles still link to Big Business Journal and Extremities Quarterly and so forth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenzo_von_Matterhorn ETA: do NOT miss Dog Stevens' Euro Dog Rap: http://www.myspace.com/lorenzovonmatterhorn

Fantastic episode. Always great to see Barney in top form, and that was definitely the Barney we all know and love.

Tremendous episode. It's great to see Barney back doing his thing. So many Barney Rules in this one and every single entry from The Playbook made me laugh
out loud. The Scuba Diver FTW!!!

BTW I just figured out what Barney was up to.
Cat Stevens? Dog Stevens? :: slow on the uptake :: |

Now that was the best episode of the season. Do some people not like it when the show is funny?

Not really. She could date a piece of lawn furniture and I'd be OK with it. As long as it isn't Barney.
The guy looked like George Eads of CSI. Let's see if he has the funnies in him. Too bad Lilly's RL hubbie Wesley isn't in the picture anymore. And speaking of which, did anyone think that when Ted & Marshall were doing the "and he's right there" thing at the end and a bodacious brunette walked in that maybe that was Robin's doppelganger, a.ka. Stripper Robin? I do hope Claire(?) the unwitting victim of the Scuba Diver sticks around. She meshed well with the gang. Loved the final set of hell no harmony. Meanwhile I say gently tolerate the people bitching about this ep, who are still in a state of PTSD as to this season's mediocre start. They'll come around. |

THANK GOD we are back to the Barnie of old. And the way he and Lily kept pronouncing 'bitch' cracked me up most of all.

"Lorenzo Von Matterhorn was born somewhere in Switzerland in the spring of 1974. The exact date and circumstances of his
birth are unknown since he was immediately placed in a basket and tossed in a river. Young Lorenzo rode the pristine Alpine glacial melt waters for hundreds of
miles until a young Milanese woman discovered the basket along the banks of the river Po. Some say it was this first early journey to Milan that fueled both
his love of exploration and fashion. The woman would raise Lorenzo as her own, naming him Lorenzo after her father and giving him the surname Von Matterhorn to
reflect his Swiss heritage as well as his uncommonly large penis.
Shortly after his family moved to New York City in the late 70's, Lorenzo began rescuing stray puppies and other cute animals. As someone who had been abandoned himself, Lorenzo recognized both the pain of loneliness as well as the power of hope. One evening, while nursing a particularly cute Cocker Spaniel back to health, Lorenzo noticed the rest of his brood howling in unison. Curious as to their abilities, he spent the next several months developing their voices and then entered them as a musical act in a local festival under the name Dog Stevens. They took first place, and went on to become one of the most successful animal musical acts since The Beatles. At an early age, Lorenzo was diagnosed with phallumegaly, or bigness of penis disorder. As a result of his illness Lorenzo's sense of balance frequently shifts, causing short-term memory loss. Lorenzo has been known to walk away from situations and not call again, and shouldn't be held accountable when he does. Tired of ordering custom underwear and furniture, Lorenzo has pursued penis reduction surgery a number of times only to be told it's too risky." |
