This is to all my fellow Teds. I hope you find your Tracy. I think I found mine in 2009 and she passed in 2010. No one has ever even approached comparing. I don't want to be alone but I don't want anyone but her. So my advice. If and when you find your girl. Make every damn minute count.

Future Ted knew what was coming, he'd take any small amount of extra time he can have if it meant seeing Tracy just one more time. Like the old saying goes you never know what you have until it's gone.

It would have been more impactful if Ted was the one dying. Like he was in his finale days and he wanted to tell his children the story of how he become who he was. People would have probably still hated the ending but that was how I thought it was going to end
The look on his face when he delivers that line "I want those extra 45 days with you I want each one of them" it shows that if he had known he was gonna lose her he would've tried to meet her so much sooner
@@ASHU.ASMITHA It’s foreshadowing, at that moment in the series you have no idea Tracy dies. So him saying he wants those extra 45 days is supposed to be our first clue that she dies. I think if Ted could have it his way he’d want her around for another 45 years.
I am here as Future Ted telling my Past Ted self -- and therefore telling you -- that this will NOT always be the case. You're going to be racing back in time the same way he is, to wish you had met your person even sooner, but thanking God that you did meet that person whenever you did. I promise...
this scene honestly hurts me a bit too because up until that point it was all fun and games with the gang and thats how i think it was like for ted but then it hit him everyone but him was moving on with their lives and life was no longer fun and games.
Originally I really didn't like the ending of the show, as someone who had so much trouble finding love during the years the show was on air, I really wanted Ted to find the mother and live happily ever after, just as I wish it would happen for me. But then years of experiences later, I realized what the ending was trying to say was what the rest of the show has been saying all along: life is unpredictable. You will think you have fallen in love with someone and that it will be all smooth sailing from then on as long as you two try your best, but then life will throw you curve balls that you never see coming. So all we can do is cherish the time we have with our loved ones while we can, and deal with the obstacles as they come, and hope that we may possibly get a happy ending even if that was not what you expected.
The problem with the end of the show wasn't that Ted didn't get his happily ever after with Tracy, the problem is when they tried to show Ted and Robin back together again. It was forced because that is what they filmed with the kids years before. All they had to do was fade to black after future Ted finishes telling the story to the kids. "And that kids is how I met your mother." *fade to black* They never should have used that extra footage with the kids.
@@nathanflannery3031 It's not the fact that Ted went back to Robin, more so it's how they presented the "Ted goes back to Robin" scene. The kids saying, after their father telling this heartbreaking story, INCLUDING this part, because the narrator Ted was telling all that we heard and saw here to his kids, saying things like "I'm always gonna love you, until the end of my days, and beyond", and the kids after all this story just randomly say "So what'cha tryna tell us is that ya wanna fuck aunt Robin huh?". A story with such agony and sadness, ended with THAT flat joke. That was pure trash, and what ruined this series, not the fact that Ted and Robin got back togheter.
Rewatching the show over again and just realized it’s the same music from the episode “How your mother met me” when she tells Louis no to the proposal and before her rendition of La Vie En Rose. Both episodes made me tear up... When the writers wanted to get you, whether it be the 2 minute first date, the passing of a friend’s father, or the after-the-fact realization of just wanting 45 more days, they’re masterful at evoking the emotions.
Outrage Quitter Dude, Marshall’s discovery of the voicemail from his dad... then Lily’s reaction.... dear god that got me. I only reacted the same way to an episode of Buffy called “The Body.” If you haven’t seen it, Anya’s monologue about death... I cannot ever get through the episode with dry eyes. If you’ve never seen Buffy, I’d highly recommend starting from the beginning (or the season 1 finale and on) rather than just checking out “The Body.” When you know the characters...just everyone was absolutely perfect.
I live my life now by 45 days, everything in this scene was so emotional and sad while also being a MASSIVE hint. The best part though is he is all alone, and everything is passing him by and he is at his lowest point but in just 45 days he found the love of his life, just 45 days, and it changed everything for him
angel77t I wish they never killed the mom, for me she was the best but you have a point victoria was better than robin. Victoria was always serious regarding ted and she loved him. She could have been the mom. Robin was never sure about anyone and always chose everyone before ted. It’s like for her ted was the last option. It’s not fair. All the trouble ted went through to finally meet the love of his life just to ended up with the girl that rejected him.
I don't know, I kind of liked it. Robin was always clear about what she was looking for, as was Ted, and it didn't line up. Then Ted meets the love of his life and has his beautiful romantic story with her, the marriage, and the family he always wanted. But when he has to say goodbye and let go of that, he and robin are both finally in a place where something might work between them. Their paths are aligned now. I think it's a cool portrayal of the ever-changing and unexpected dynamics of life.
I think this scene sums up the whole point of how I met your mother. Ted wants to tell his kids how he met their mother, including all the other stories cos he is still processing even after 6 years losing his soul mate and wants to relive/remember everything about her and forget for a while she's gone.
Time you can’t get back and appreciating that time while you have it. Ted could of jumped right to the wedding with some other stories for context but he didn’t because that would of done a disservice to the time that changed him into the man that Tracy could fall in love with.
@@z1k1c1321 It's fine, I went to school instead. And don't come crying now that he needed to have both arms free so he has a better posture or something for a fucking sucker punch against a guy who is in no state to fight. It has nothing to do with fighting.
Gotta say something quickly. I completely understand and like the official ending. It tells us one thing: there really is no happily ever after. Life just doesn't close the book on you when you've reached the peak of your happiness. Life goes on, past any milestones that you meet, and the challenges will not stop. It tells us not to take things for granted, even as we fulfill our dreams. Things can, and probably will, never stay the way that you want them to. Anything you have you can lose within moments. It tells us to cherish what you have, every last drop of it, wholeheartedly, _while_ you still can. You never know how much time you really end up getting. It's a hard hitting lesson that I'm really struggling with. But ultimately, with knowing the fragile nature of things, life teaches us to enjoy things as they are happening. So when Barney said: "This isn't a failed marriage. It was a successful marriage that only lasted three years." That's exactly what he meant. Both he and Robin realised they don't work, and rather than trying to beat a dead horse, they decided to end things on a high note, as there was nothing more of value that their marriage could give them, and staying together would only spoil those happy moments they once shared. As for Ted and Tracy. We've known that they were a once-in-a-lifetime perfect match. But does that mean they had to stay together forever to justify it? Of course not. Ted has learned the lesson that he "must never stop loving her, not even for a second," or whatever the quote is. And that's exactly what he did, even knowing that he'd be losing her within months. To him, it wasn't an unhappy lovestory. It was a happy lovestory that only lasted 15-ish years.
totally. also, i noticed that ted-tracy & robin-barney saw each other before their wedding. a reach but kind of like a foreshadowing that it’s really unlucky and they won’t work forever lol.
When you know how the series ends, you realize just how much more depth and significance HIMYM has than most comedy shows. There's so much gravitas to Ted's words... How life rolls and how insignificant 45 days seem and yet how precious and indeed priceless they can be when those 45 days or heck even 45 seconds would be with someone we love to be able to tell them how much our heart longs for them and how dear to our every breath they are.
I didn't rewatch this series until I was married. And that's when I realized how impactful this scene was. And that's the second time I cried watching this show. Even happily married now, what I wouldn't give to have not gone through soooo much pain and just gotten to my Wife a little earlier. Just a little.
Granted it's easy to say that now. But ask yourself this: Would you have truly appreciated your marriage now if you hadn't been through all the pain before?
Honestly the show dropped hints that she was dead for a while (...always talks about her in past tense, etc) --- but this was the anvil hint. If you didn't pick this up you were never going to until that final episode.
The first time I watched this scene, I thought this was about depression and how being lonely could make you unhappy and how the correct person can get up you from there but this wasn't about depression, it was about grief.
Little did we know this was the first clue to the mother’s death. I didn’t even realize it when I first watched it and yet I still cried watching this scene. Ted deserved better than the ending he got
Oh, I wish I could say the same, but I cried like a little bitch because of this show, scrubs, the office, that 70’s show, cheers... and I’m sure there were more.
I have never cried to these things as well, but this changed immediately the moment Barney held his child in the final episode. I don't know why but it just hit me so hard I had to cry
For "present" Ted (the one who told the story) it has been 6 years that Tracy died. For us it was 1 episode. We were robed of Teds grieving and because of this, the ending seems rushed. I have no problem with Ted ending up with Robin, because I know if Tracy was still alive, Robin would have been out of the picture. But for me, when Ted let us know Tracy died, I was shocked and I was grieving one of my favorit characters that the show built up the whole story. When I was grieving, Ted has already moved on (it has been 6 years for him already). They could have handled the ending better, in my opinion.
Personally I think the ending could have been better with just one scene, either at or right after Tracy's funeral. Just one scene of Ted grieving would have done enough heavy lifting to make people not hate the ending as much. Now if you want them to like it, you're talking a total redo of season 9 with less focus on Robin and Barney's wedding. I mean, still have it, but don't do the entire weekend.
They definitely should’ve shown Ted and Tracy dealing with her illness; maybe even to soften the blow of Ted suddenly ending up with Robin again, they should’ve had Tracy and Robin having some heart to heart moments which helps Robin to accept Ted and Tracy together and Tracy to accept Ted’s connection to Robin. When Tracy is dying, she and Robin are close enough that she lets Robin know that she is okay if Robin and Ted get back together after she is gone because Ted won’t be able to love anyone again except for Robin. Robin is so heartbroken by Tracy’s death that she distances herself from the group because she feels like she can’t be both Ted’s ex and friend after his wife just died. Tracy, being the detective she always knew she was, figured that neither Robin or Ted would be okay with taking the next step on their own so she asked daughter Penny (who by then probably would’ve been old enough to understand) to give Ted the message that she gave him her blessing to move on with Robin when he was ready to move on without Tracy.
deaththekid201 not really happiness when that’s one of the main things the show focuses on. If he had never even met the mother, he’d still end up with Robin just like he continuously did in the show. It’s just a big slap in the face to the viewers, that they try to make this show about the mother, then kill her off, then Ted ends up with Robin like always
@@LevelingF0X if you make it about the mother then you missed the point of the show she was not important just a way for ted tell story he cares about Robin she is so not important that they tell you her name season 1
@@deaththekid201 and @Grace sorry but i think both of yoou missed the point ! the ending makes perfect sense ... Ted ending up with robin doesn't change the fact that he loved tracy till the end of his days ... just like tracy ending up with Ted doesn't change the fact that she loved Max ( her dead bf ) till the end of her days ... Loving people doesn't mean we don't move on ... even tracy would've been happier to see Ted go back to life and dating robin if it meant he'll be happy !
She died he loved her and from the final clip she was gone for 6 years. Jesus Christ he was alone. If your wife dies your aloud to move on what was he supposed to do stay alone forever. If you're married and your husband dies are you just going to stay alone forever. It says until death do you part. After that all bets are off and It's not like he hopped into bed with her right after that. Like I said 6 years. and I adamantly believe that you can love two people you can have two loves of your life.He loved Tracy but he always loved Robin that kind of love just doesn't go away there are different kinds of love. It doesn't mean he loved Tracy any less.
My first time watching this scene obviously hit really hard, but it hits 10000x harder on rewatch when you realize what this is foreshadowing. It gives the 45 days line a whole new meaning, always makes me so heavy. This is one of my favorite scenes of all time. This show is so special, no other sitcom has done stuff like this.
This scene is so phenomenal. It's so profound. I've never loved any scene of any show so much. I come back here a lot. This scene reflects so much meaning in life. Generally, we are shown past reminiscences of shows but we were shown future aspect. It's so heartbreaking to lose someone and when you lose them, you feel going back and looking to make the most of the time with them because it's never gonna come back and it's priceless. Ted wait so so perfect and lingering for a person he always looked for. Losing a person like Tracy could never feel that void. Every day of those 45d will feel like a lifetime.
I watch Himym at least once a year. Every time I watch this episode, and especially this last scene, I can’t help but cry my eyes out. So heart breaking 💔 Ted and Tracy deserved better, they deserved more time.
I remember when I saw this scene for the first time. When Barney told Ted he’s all alone that hit me so hard. Little bit of young Sheldon but I bet Ted felt like a neutrino, destined to be alone forever. Even though his quarks were Barney, lilly and Marshall, and robin, he still felt alone. During the airing of this show I sympathized so much with Ted because I also felt alone.
And this why even thou I absolutely loved tracy character. Just like Marshall dad passing away. How I met your mother final was about friendship family love and the unsuspecting surprises in life we can't control. So even thou ted and robin reunite I'm happy with that . Because ted says best here for all the fans . No love compares to how much he loved tracy and he deserves to be happy again in find love even with robin his second greatest love . Barney ending in him becoming a father and his speech to his daughter who didn't cry 😢. Marshall and lily there happy. Robin got her dream career and marriage still a success but work commitments and life got in the way so they split and finally she finds happiness again with ted and his kids .
I thought of these scene as Ted losing hope in love and that's the reason why they make the scene of him running to his wife's house. The producers wanted to show us that he has lost faith, but it all will come to terms. But with the ending, it crushed my spirit. Must be awful to lose the woman that he was always seeking.
I relate to Ted in the 8 and a half years it took him to meet Tracy. I’m always worried I’ll meet my “Robin” instead of my “Tracy” Tracy was the best one for Ted and she deserved better
I have just finished this show and I just wanted to say that I love democracy. I love the Republic. The power you give me I will lay down when this crisis has abated. And as my first act with this new authority, I will create a grand army of the Republic to counter the increasing threats of the Separatists.
No, the takeaway is that his friends moved on while Ted didn't. They had their own lives, and couldn't act like they were in their twenties drinking in a bar hanging out all the time with friends
This scene gets me every time. So simple, so beautiful, so heartbreaking, all at once. It reminds me of something I’d say to the one I love, the one who I have not yet found but know that I’ll one day meet. Until then I’ll learn and grow into my best self so that when I do meet the one, I’ll be able to make every moment with her count.
This scene as well as some moments in my life have made me think of all the times I've had that weren't even amazing, but just nice. Even a day when life seems so normal is a day to appreciate. You'll wish you did when the times get rough. This scene really shows that when you find something or someone who's special, you make every moment count.
People have been complaining about the finale for years and years but I see this scenes and realize that the writers had their finale set up from the very beginning and it makes perfect sense with every piece of the show... I wouldn't change a minute of this beautiful show
The reason the ending annoys people is because it makes this speech less impact and imply that every time Ted was with someone he was always thinking about Robin in the back of his mind and hoping he could finally get the kids he wants before running back to a women that he considers his "perfect woman"
This scene really hits you with the one two gut punch... First with the "Look around Ted, you're all alone." And then again, he hits you with the 45 days. Goddamn this show didn't hit you often but when it hit it hit HARD.
My mother died of cancer 6 years ago. I can't go back to before I met her to spend more time with her because I've never been alive and not have met her, but I've been in this position a million times, in the intersection of a memory and an impossible fantasy, talking to her, telling her things I wish I had and now I never will, desperately hoping I could move the camera and actually get to see her face again. Most people hate this show's ending, but I think it works, it's a show about the extremely powerful influence a person's absence can have in your life, and that's precisely what a loved one's death feels like.
@@GregBurch Greg I was just in your comment! I'm sorry about that buddy! I hope you find better ones! People may go but then new ones come in. Don't stop letting the new ones in cause of what the old ones did
I can't understand one thing: HOW? HOW after such a moment we have an ending, where Ted goes to Robin? HOW after such a confession, after such words about infinite love we have children's "You still do like Robin, try it" and Ted's return to the beginning? The death of the Mother is predictable, I agree, but the Robin thing, i guess, isn't suitable after all the words Ted had said about the Mother , and her place in his life and his heart
So he says to his kids he would've asked for those extra 45 days with their mother, but when he finishes telling the story, and remember this is all the same day, he all of a sudden goes after aunt Robin 20 minutes later.
I get you.. like he was telling this story and it is about to end so it must be in one strech so the same day he tells that he wants extra 45 days or something he then goes on to date Robin. Himym ending was the worst.. it should have been Barney/Quinn or better Barney and Nora and Ted and Tracy.
@@kkdpsudpsu It was LITERALLY 6 years after her death. 6 damn years. You people are downright deranged. What is he supposed to say in this flashback/fantasy? "Well, I got over you! Bye!" The story is him coping with the past and trying to move on. His speech shows just how much he misses his wife and how important she was for him. The whole story of 9 seasons is him fighting with himself if it is OK to move on or not. You people are just salty that you didn't get the ending you wanted. Grow up and live with it.
I remember watching this scene when it first aired and crying, thinking the mother could be dead in the future. My dad had passed away recently and the ernest desperation in Ted's voice, as he asked for 45 more days or even 45 more seconds, just the smallest amount of time he could get with someone he loved, resonated so strongly with me. It spoke of grief and longing
Ted's sadness was delivered even before we knew Tracy was going to die. When he reveals her death he talks calmly without crying because his kids already now the ending of their story. But to include Ted's sadness, they did it before the watcher knew a thing about her death. Very elegant way
It’s interesting how this is the same background music that is also in the standalone episode of “The Mother’s” episode I season 9. When she plays on the ukulele.
I never understood what his word meant...I just thought he felt alone... But then I watched the show again, together with my sister and realized what he meant. "I want 45 more days with you..." Or this: "I will always love you till the end of my life and beyond." After I realized what this words meant, I cried my eyes out XD ;-;
I remember watching this the night it aired and being absolutely gutted because that was the moment that I knew she was going to die before the series ended. Still soul-crushing watching it today.
Rewatching this show at the age of 27 is hitting me like a goddamn train. Im coming to terms with the fact that my older family members may not be here much longer and some of my friends have families of their own. Luckily I have an amazing partner in my life right now. It’s a newer relationship but I’m beginning to think he might be “the one.” ❤️❤️
Its amazing really. Ted has been stuck in this loop of "finding the right one", whether its the love of his life or the right choice in life, for god knows how long already. And yet, Barney is the one to tell Ted that he needs to move on in life.

But then years of experiences later, I realized what the ending was trying to say was what the rest of the show has been saying all along: life is unpredictable. You will think you have fallen in love with someone and that it will be all smooth sailing from then on as long as you two try your best, but then life will throw you curve balls that you never see coming. So all we can do is cherish the time we have with our loved ones while we can, and deal with the obstacles as they come, and hope that we may possibly get a happy ending even if that was not what you expected.
The problem with the end of the show wasn't that Ted didn't get his happily ever after with Tracy, the problem is when they tried to show Ted and Robin back together again. It was forced because that is what they filmed with the kids years before. All they had to do was fade to black after future Ted finishes telling the story to the kids. "And that kids is how I met your mother." *fade to black* They never should have used that extra footage with the kids.
So you're saying the extra 45 seconds ruined it for you.😆
@@alb7394 Yes. The series overall was great, but it will always have that blemish right on the ending.
@@nathanflannery3031 It's not the fact that Ted went back to Robin, more so it's how they presented the "Ted goes back to Robin" scene. The kids saying, after their father telling this heartbreaking story, INCLUDING this part, because the narrator Ted was telling all that we heard and saw here to his kids, saying things like "I'm always gonna love you, until the end of my days, and beyond", and the kids after all this story just randomly say "So what'cha tryna tell us is that ya wanna fuck aunt Robin huh?". A story with such agony and sadness, ended with THAT flat joke. That was pure trash, and what ruined this series, not the fact that Ted and Robin got back togheter.

This is the saddest scene of whole series...
I think it’s this scene and the scene were marshal cries about his dad
@@karlasanchez7852 and the funeral of marvin, thd scene when he hears the last words of her father in the voicemail
This is still my favorite moment in the whole series even as it rips out my heart and stabs me in the gut
Rewatching the show over again and just realized it’s the same music from the episode “How your mother met me” when she tells Louis no to the proposal and before her rendition of La Vie En Rose. Both episodes made me tear up... When the writers wanted to get you, whether it be the 2 minute first date, the passing of a friend’s father, or the after-the-fact realization of just wanting 45 more days, they’re masterful at evoking the emotions.
ruclips.net/video/KU8HiNPiGZc/видео.html
C K oh god, Marshall’s dad dying killed me. Those two acted their asses off in that scene. I’m gonna go watch it an cry like a bitch, brb.
Outrage Quitter Dude, Marshall’s discovery of the voicemail from his dad... then Lily’s reaction.... dear god that got me. I only reacted the same way to an episode of Buffy called “The Body.” If you haven’t seen it, Anya’s monologue about death... I cannot ever get through the episode with dry eyes. If you’ve never seen Buffy, I’d highly recommend starting from the beginning (or the season 1 finale and on) rather than just checking out “The Body.” When you know the characters...just everyone was absolutely perfect.
I live my life now by 45 days, everything in this scene was so emotional and sad while also being a MASSIVE hint. The best part though is he is all alone, and everything is passing him by and he is at his lowest point but in just 45 days he found the love of his life, just 45 days, and it changed everything for him
I still remember I had tears when I watched it first time
He deserved better than Robin at end
"or whatever they were arguing about that night" they tried to make it work but it didn't
I wish he would’ve ended up with Victoria instead of robin
angel77t I wish they never killed the mom, for me she was the best but you have a point victoria was better than robin. Victoria was always serious regarding ted and she loved him. She could have been the mom. Robin was never sure about anyone and always chose everyone before ted. It’s like for her ted was the last option. It’s not fair. All the trouble ted went through to finally meet the love of his life just to ended up with the girl that rejected him.
I don't know, I kind of liked it. Robin was always clear about what she was looking for, as was Ted, and it didn't line up. Then Ted meets the love of his life and has his beautiful romantic story with her, the marriage, and the family he always wanted. But when he has to say goodbye and let go of that, he and robin are both finally in a place where something might work between them. Their paths are aligned now. I think it's a cool portrayal of the ever-changing and unexpected dynamics of life.
That Robin bullshit is not real in my mind
He's running so fast like every second without her is a second wasted and I die, I die for these two.
I think this scene sums up the whole point of how I met your mother. Ted wants to tell his kids how he met their mother, including all the other stories cos he is still processing even after 6 years losing his soul mate and wants to relive/remember everything about her and forget for a while she's gone.
Time you can’t get back and appreciating that time while you have it.
Ted could of jumped right to the wedding with some other stories for context but he didn’t because that would of done a disservice to the time that changed him into the man that Tracy could fall in love with.
The boyfriend is pretty stupid. Drops his bag to punch with the other one.
😂😂😂💀

Youve nvr been in fight have u?
@@z1k1c1321 It's fine, I went to school instead.

It has nothing to do with fighting.
@@Cpt_Dave ^^^^^^ perfect explaination lmao
Makes me cry all the time
Gotta say something quickly. I completely understand and like the official ending. It tells us one thing: there really is no happily ever after. Life just doesn't close the book on you when you've reached the peak of your happiness. Life goes on, past any milestones that you meet, and the challenges will not stop. It tells us not to take things for granted, even as we fulfill our dreams. Things can, and probably will, never stay the way that you want them to. Anything you have you can lose within moments. It tells us to cherish what you have, every last drop of it, wholeheartedly, _while_ you still can. You never know how much time you really end up getting.
It's a hard hitting lesson that I'm really struggling with. But ultimately, with knowing the fragile nature of things, life teaches us to enjoy things as they are happening.
So when Barney said: "This isn't a failed marriage. It was a successful marriage that only lasted three years." That's exactly what he meant. Both he and Robin realised they don't work, and rather than trying to beat a dead horse, they decided to end things on a high note, as there was nothing more of value that their marriage could give them, and staying together would only spoil those happy moments they once shared.
As for Ted and Tracy. We've known that they were a once-in-a-lifetime perfect match. But does that mean they had to stay together forever to justify it? Of course not. Ted has learned the lesson that he "must never stop loving her, not even for a second," or whatever the quote is. And that's exactly what he did, even knowing that he'd be losing her within months. To him, it wasn't an unhappy lovestory. It was a happy lovestory that only lasted 15-ish years.
totally. also, i noticed that ted-tracy & robin-barney saw each other before their wedding.
a reach but kind of like a foreshadowing that it’s really unlucky and they won’t work forever lol.
josh radnor. what an amazing actor he is.
@@MarissaCooperButPoor yeah i agree with you
When you know how the series ends, you realize just how much more depth and significance HIMYM has than most comedy shows. There's so much gravitas to Ted's words... How life rolls and how insignificant 45 days seem and yet how precious and indeed priceless they can be when those 45 days or heck even 45 seconds would be with someone we love to be able to tell them how much our heart longs for them and how dear to our every breath they are.
“Look around Ted, you’re all alone” perfectly expresses having friends as an adult.
You have friends?
I didn't rewatch this series until I was married. And that's when I realized how impactful this scene was. And that's the second time I cried watching this show. Even happily married now, what I wouldn't give to have not gone through soooo much pain and just gotten to my Wife a little earlier. Just a little.
Granted it's easy to say that now. But ask yourself this: Would you have truly appreciated your marriage now if you hadn't been through all the pain before?
how i met your mother is so incredibly raw and rough and unpredictable but so funny at the same time
"Look around, Ted. You're all alone."
This is still, out of everything I've ever read, seen or heard, the most chilling thing ever.
Honestly the show dropped hints that she was dead for a while (...always talks about her in past tense, etc) --- but this was the anvil hint. If you didn't pick this up you were never going to until that final episode.
There is one more hint, its close to the end, Tracy says "what mom wouldnt be at hers daughter's wedding" and Ted starts crying
The first time I watched this scene, I thought this was about depression and how being lonely could make you unhappy and how the correct person can get up you from there but this wasn't about depression, it was about grief.
Little did we know this was the first clue to the mother’s death. I didn’t even realize it when I first watched it and yet I still cried watching this scene. Ted deserved better than the ending he got
Ending with Robin was such a bad ending for Ted and the show
I never cry when it comes to tv shows/movies, but I started tearing up at this scene. 😭
Glad I am not the only one..
Oh, I wish I could say the same, but I cried like a little bitch because of this show, scrubs, the office, that 70’s show, cheers... and I’m sure there were more.
Same, also with Marshall's dad's death
I have never cried to these things as well, but this changed immediately the moment Barney held his child in the final episode. I don't know why but it just hit me so hard I had to cry
+1
For "present" Ted (the one who told the story) it has been 6 years that Tracy died. For us it was 1 episode. We were robed of Teds grieving and because of this, the ending seems rushed. I have no problem with Ted ending up with Robin, because I know if Tracy was still alive, Robin would have been out of the picture. But for me, when Ted let us know Tracy died, I was shocked and I was grieving one of my favorit characters that the show built up the whole story. When I was grieving, Ted has already moved on (it has been 6 years for him already). They could have handled the ending better, in my opinion.
Personally I think the ending could have been better with just one scene, either at or right after Tracy's funeral. Just one scene of Ted grieving would have done enough heavy lifting to make people not hate the ending as much. Now if you want them to like it, you're talking a total redo of season 9 with less focus on Robin and Barney's wedding. I mean, still have it, but don't do the entire weekend.
@@ninjadarthjuju117 I agree with you.
the last episode was supposed to be an hour, they probably cut out a lot of things which would have made it much better
They definitely should’ve shown Ted and Tracy dealing with her illness; maybe even to soften the blow of Ted suddenly ending up with Robin again, they should’ve had Tracy and Robin having some heart to heart moments which helps Robin to accept Ted and Tracy together and Tracy to accept Ted’s connection to Robin. When Tracy is dying, she and Robin are close enough that she lets Robin know that she is okay if Robin and Ted get back together after she is gone because Ted won’t be able to love anyone again except for Robin. Robin is so heartbroken by Tracy’s death that she distances herself from the group because she feels like she can’t be both Ted’s ex and friend after his wife just died. Tracy, being the detective she always knew she was, figured that neither Robin or Ted would be okay with taking the next step on their own so she asked daughter Penny (who by then probably would’ve been old enough to understand) to give Ted the message that she gave him her blessing to move on with Robin when he was ready to move on without Tracy.
"Look around Ted, you're all alone."
Yes, this foreshadows the whole death thing, but here he says "I'll love you till the end of my days" which makes the whole Robin thing even worse
No it doesn't he still loves her but she is gone and he has try find happiness with someone else
deaththekid201 not really happiness when that’s one of the main things the show focuses on. If he had never even met the mother, he’d still end up with Robin just like he continuously did in the show. It’s just a big slap in the face to the viewers, that they try to make this show about the mother, then kill her off, then Ted ends up with Robin like always
@@LevelingF0X if you make it about the mother then you missed the point of the show she was not important just a way for ted tell story he cares about Robin she is so not important that they tell you her name season 1
@@deaththekid201 and @Grace sorry but i think both of yoou missed the point ! the ending makes perfect sense ... Ted ending up with robin doesn't change the fact that he loved tracy till the end of his days ... just like tracy ending up with Ted doesn't change the fact that she loved Max ( her dead bf ) till the end of her days ... Loving people doesn't mean we don't move on ... even tracy would've been happier to see Ted go back to life and dating robin if it meant he'll be happy !
She died he loved her and from the final clip she was gone for 6 years. Jesus Christ he was alone. If your wife dies your aloud to move on what was he supposed to do stay alone forever. If you're married and your husband dies are you just going to stay alone forever. It says until death do you part. After that all bets are off and It's not like he hopped into bed with her right after that. Like I said 6 years. and I adamantly believe that you can love two people you can have two loves of your life.He loved Tracy but he always loved Robin that kind of love just doesn't go away there are different kinds of love. It doesn't mean he loved Tracy any less.
The contrast of the slow, somber music and Ted running full speed down the street always triggers a lump in my throat.
Classic Schmosby
Out of all the comments your the most underrated one
Sanwal Yousaf PUNCHY
@@Frodstarrr PUNCHY!
UNBELIEVABLE!
@@yoepie7 mosby!
I'm not crying, you are
we are all crying
Your right :,(
My first time watching this scene obviously hit really hard, but it hits 10000x harder on rewatch when you realize what this is foreshadowing. It gives the 45 days line a whole new meaning, always makes me so heavy. This is one of my favorite scenes of all time. This show is so special, no other sitcom has done stuff like this.
The fact that rewatching this scene after you finish the show makes it even more impactful is why this show was so great.
1:59 when you left the stove on
Damn, ik that both Josh and neil did an outstanding performance in this scene but the music is so underrated in this scene tho
This scene is so phenomenal. It's so profound. I've never loved any scene of any show so much. I come back here a lot. This scene reflects so much meaning in life. Generally, we are shown past reminiscences of shows but we were shown future aspect. It's so heartbreaking to lose someone and when you lose them, you feel going back and looking to make the most of the time with them because it's never gonna come back and it's priceless. Ted wait so so perfect and lingering for a person he always looked for. Losing a person like Tracy could never feel that void. Every day of those 45d will feel like a lifetime.
I watch Himym at least once a year. Every time I watch this episode, and especially this last scene, I can’t help but cry my eyes out. So heart breaking 💔
Ted and Tracy deserved better, they deserved more time.
Yes indeed. Poor Ted
When he starts running 😭😭😭
It’s moments like these that made How I Met Your Mother So Great! I’ll never forget this show!
The best scene of the entire series.
I remember when I saw this scene for the first time. When Barney told Ted he’s all alone that hit me so hard. Little bit of young Sheldon but I bet Ted felt like a neutrino, destined to be alone forever. Even though his quarks were Barney, lilly and Marshall, and robin, he still felt alone. During the airing of this show I sympathized so much with Ted because I also felt alone.
And this why even thou I absolutely loved tracy character. Just like Marshall dad passing away. How I met your mother final was about friendship family love and the unsuspecting surprises in life we can't control. So even thou ted and robin reunite I'm happy with that . Because ted says best here for all the fans . No love compares to how much he loved tracy and he deserves to be happy again in find love even with robin his second greatest love . Barney ending in him becoming a father and his speech to his daughter who didn't cry 😢. Marshall and lily there happy. Robin got her dream career and marriage still a success but work commitments and life got in the way so they split and finally she finds happiness again with ted and his kids .
word! I wouldn't change the ending
I thought of these scene as Ted losing hope in love and that's the reason why they make the scene of him running to his wife's house. The producers wanted to show us that he has lost faith, but it all will come to terms. But with the ending, it crushed my spirit. Must be awful to lose the woman that he was always seeking.
I relate to Ted in the 8 and a half years it took him to meet Tracy. I’m always worried I’ll meet my “Robin” instead of my “Tracy” Tracy was the best one for Ted and she deserved better
I have just finished this show and I just wanted to say that I love democracy. I love the Republic. The power you give me I will lay down when this crisis has abated.
And as my first act with this new authority, I will create a grand army of the Republic to counter the increasing threats of the Separatists.
My biggest takeaway is that his “best friends” ditched him on robot vs wrestlers
No, the takeaway is that his friends moved on while Ted didn't. They had their own lives, and couldn't act like they were in their twenties drinking in a bar hanging out all the time with friends
This scene gets me every time. So simple, so beautiful, so heartbreaking, all at once. It reminds me of something I’d say to the one I love, the one who I have not yet found but know that I’ll one day meet. Until then I’ll learn and grow into my best self so that when I do meet the one, I’ll be able to make every moment with her count.
This scene as well as some moments in my life have made me think of all the times I've had that weren't even amazing, but just nice. Even a day when life seems so normal is a day to appreciate. You'll wish you did when the times get rough. This scene really shows that when you find something or someone who's special, you make every moment count.
The music is so damn sad too. What a terrific scene
People have been complaining about the finale for years and years but I see this scenes and realize that the writers had their finale set up from the very beginning and it makes perfect sense with every piece of the show... I wouldn't change a minute of this beautiful show
The reason the ending annoys people is because it makes this speech less impact and imply that every time Ted was with someone he was always thinking about Robin in the back of his mind and hoping he could finally get the kids he wants before running back to a women that he considers his "perfect woman"
Hugest clue was to everything , that series started with how he met with robin
This scene really hits you with the one two gut punch... First with the "Look around Ted, you're all alone."
And then again, he hits you with the 45 days.
Goddamn this show didn't hit you often but when it hit it hit HARD.
The thing that he'd do first always makes me happy and sad, at the same time
Think about your partner. Wouldn't you want to have met them earlier? Have more time with them?
This scene broke me and has righfully placed it's spot on my top 10 scenes that made me question life
This scene never fails to make me sob
Rip Bob Saget I didn't know that you were only old Ted but you taught me so many valuable lessons. Thank you
My mother died of cancer 6 years ago. I can't go back to before I met her to spend more time with her because I've never been alive and not have met her, but I've been in this position a million times, in the intersection of a memory and an impossible fantasy, talking to her, telling her things I wish I had and now I never will, desperately hoping I could move the camera and actually get to see her face again. Most people hate this show's ending, but I think it works, it's a show about the extremely powerful influence a person's absence can have in your life, and that's precisely what a loved one's death feels like.
This scene gets to me everytime. It's one of the best in the series.
this is usually what I fear in myself, having your friends move on without you and leave you alone. sad really lol
Yeah.
I have been ditched by so many "friends...."
Well.. living it right now 🙂
@@GregBurch Greg I was just in your comment! I'm sorry about that buddy! I hope you find better ones! People may go but then new ones come in. Don't stop letting the new ones in cause of what the old ones did
İ hope all TED's will find their love
I just watched this episode and cried even though I've seen it before and I still love it!!
This may be the sleeper hit best moment of the series. Absolutely beautiful and all these years later I still get chills
I can't understand one thing: HOW? HOW after such a moment we have an ending, where Ted goes to Robin? HOW after such a confession, after such words about infinite love we have children's "You still do like Robin, try it" and Ted's return to the beginning? The death of the Mother is predictable, I agree, but the Robin thing, i guess, isn't suitable after all the words Ted had said about the Mother , and her place in his life and his heart
I REALLY MISS THIS SHOW
Still had me in tears everytime I watch this.
So he says to his kids he would've asked for those extra 45 days with their mother, but when he finishes telling the story, and remember this is all the same day, he all of a sudden goes after aunt Robin 20 minutes later.
The finale ends before Robin and barneys divorce.
I get you.. like he was telling this story and it is about to end so it must be in one strech so the same day he tells that he wants extra 45 days or something he then goes on to date Robin. Himym ending was the worst.. it should have been Barney/Quinn or better Barney and Nora and Ted and Tracy.
@@kkdpsudpsu It was LITERALLY 6 years after her death. 6 damn years. You people are downright deranged. What is he supposed to say in this flashback/fantasy? "Well, I got over you! Bye!"
The story is him coping with the past and trying to move on. His speech shows just how much he misses his wife and how important she was for him. The whole story of 9 seasons is him fighting with himself if it is OK to move on or not. You people are just salty that you didn't get the ending you wanted. Grow up and live with it.
Gotta love forward. He can’t have the days with her. He can have days with Robin.
It’s a good thing to teach kids to move forward.
Yes, he practically is saying: I loved her more than anyone but I cannot really stand loneliness.
I remember watching this scene when it first aired and crying, thinking the mother could be dead in the future. My dad had passed away recently and the ernest desperation in Ted's voice, as he asked for 45 more days or even 45 more seconds, just the smallest amount of time he could get with someone he loved, resonated so strongly with me. It spoke of grief and longing
This scene and the one when Marshall say "Im not ready for this" breaks my soul
this scene hits different when u know u cant be with someone u love
Ted's sadness was delivered even before we knew Tracy was going to die. When he reveals her death he talks calmly without crying because his kids already now the ending of their story. But to include Ted's sadness, they did it before the watcher knew a thing about her death. Very elegant way
this scene never fails to make me cry 🥺
It’s interesting how this is the same background music that is also in the standalone episode of “The Mother’s” episode I season 9. When she plays on the ukulele.
This is the most romantic, beautiful and heartbreaking moment in TV ever.
This bgm cuts us Deep.. It penetrates through our Heart whilst we hear it. Ted's life gives that music a great impact.
Anyone else here crying as you think about someone you love that much?
man this gets me everytime
I never understood what his word meant...I just thought he felt alone... But then I watched the show again, together with my sister and realized what he meant. "I want 45 more days with you..." Or this: "I will always love you till the end of my life and beyond."
After I realized what this words meant, I cried my eyes out XD ;-;
After seeing the final episode and knowing what happens at the end this scene made me cry A little
i love love love love this show with everything i got, i taught me so much, it's everything that gives me hope
Whenever I re-watch this, it makes me sad.
i almost cried by watching this scene for the very first time
This breaks my heart so much, no matter how many times I see it.
I remember watching this the night it aired and being absolutely gutted because that was the moment that I knew she was going to die before the series ended. Still soul-crushing watching it today.
And I am daily resetting my 45 days counter since last 20years...
Friking hope! Won't just let it go..
La meilleure scène de la série, qu'on ne comprend réellement que quand on la revoit après avoir terminé le dernier épisode une première fois.
Rewatching this show at the age of 27 is hitting me like a goddamn train. Im coming to terms with the fact that my older family members may not be here much longer and some of my friends have families of their own. Luckily I have an amazing partner in my life right now. It’s a newer relationship but I’m beginning to think he might be “the one.” ❤️❤️
I can watch this scene 100 times and I will cry every single time.
This is the best show ever😭❤️❤️❤️
i always loved this scene. Now after the passing of Bob Saget it holds more meaning.
Its amazing really. Ted has been stuck in this loop of "finding the right one", whether its the love of his life or the right choice in life, for god knows how long already. And yet, Barney is the one to tell Ted that he needs to move on in life.
seeing this tv show for the second time, this scene specifically, hurts more than i could possibly imagine
