Here's something. Their doppelgangers all represented a part of the main characters personality or desire. Moustache Marshall came along when real Marshall was not yet a lawyer but the doppelganger was. Lesbian Robin represents Robin's upbringing where her dad wanted her to be more masculine and manly and she tried to please him. Stripper Lilly represents the desire within Lilly to be more sexually free than her real life allows. Robot wrestler Ted shows Ted's desire to be considered cool by his friends. And lastly Barney who's doppelganger is a gynecologist which I dont need to explain.
Actually Dr. Stangel, Barney’s real doppelgänger, was a Reproductive Endocrinologist as opposed to a Gynecologist. Basically, a Fertility Specialist. Remember, he worked with men as well, checking their sperm count; something that a Gynecologist doesn’t do. It’s even mentioned in the first 2 minutes of “Bad News,” S-6, Ep. 5.😇
@@benwalker4305 I mean having kids was actually a desire of Barneys that was showed a few times in the series. When Robin had the pregnancy scare, when he and Ted "adopted" a baby together, and in the finale when he had a baby and loved her like nothing else
Another important detail that NPH has confirmed is that we have to remember this story is told from Ted’s point of view. His entire portrayal of Barney being this terribly sociopathic man was actually fake and truly Barney was no different than most late 20s early 30s single man in NYC. He wanted to portray Barney as this terrible person so when he ended up with Robin some day, he would seem like the better man. But if you also pay attention closely, you realize how many women Ted was with throughout the series and how he broke many hearts because he couldn’t get over the girl he claimed was his “one”.
Don't forget either, by Ted's own admission when Robin was dating an older man, "When the girl you like is dating another man, you're mind tends to accentuate their flaws." Ever since then, I contemplated how accurate he was portraying Barney because he told the story knowing Barney stole Robin from him.
I just want the show to end with Ted and his wife being happy, Barney and Robin remaining together and Marshall and Lily doing their Marshmallow and Lilypad stuff.
Perfekt I love Barney and Robin and Tracy and Ted Perfekt why it end so PS: Sorry for my Englisch I am Germanen and not were good at Englisch Sorry 🤣🤣😂
The “Mother’s” name is revealed in the first season during the episode “Belly Full of Turkey.” After getting kicked out of the place where Ted and Robin realized that Barney wasn’t VOLUNTEERING to serve Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless, and that it was for court ordered community service, remember, they ended up at the strip club for the Thanksgiving buffet. Ted engages in a conversation with one of the strippers who, when they introduce themselves to each other, says that her name is “Tracy.” “Narrator Ted” then follows up with, “...and that, kids, is how I met your mother.” To which the kids react in utter shock, nearly jumping off the couch and shouting “WHAT???!!!” before “Narrator Ted” laughingly says “just kidding,” putting the kids at ease. The kids KNOW their mother’s name was Tracy. So keeping in mind that everything happening onscreen, which is “in the past” to the kids, is being intricately told to the them, hearing that he introduced himself as Ted, and the stripper introduced herself as Tracy, the kid’s’ reaction confirms that their mother’s name is, in fact, Tracy. The kids would have known he was lying, and very badly, if the stripper’s name was anything other than Tracy. WHEW!!! I hope that all makes sense. I probably could have made it shorter, but take a guess as to which character I’m most similar to...
You missed out one more detail.... Whenever Marshal's future is shown wherein he is in his office...you can see a poster on the left behind showing Lake Nose Monster being caught/discovered by a lawyer.....just like how Marshall always wanted to discover the Lake Nose Monster.... LAWYERED!!
One season for Barney and Robin wedding. One episode to reveal they divorced. Multiple seasons to build up their relationship. This is the main reason I hated the ending
H.L you simply don’t understand the meaning behind why they break up this is like the most real show ever since the way how ted talks about life and how he found true love but still god took her back to heaven to soon the way that a guy count stay still no matter what it was obvious that they where going to divorce everything about that show is true to some point and I love the ending because it’s real life they try the best to be happy and they count
The thing that annoys me about the ending is, we spent 22 episodes on a single weekend for a wedding that turned out to be completely pointless, and only got TWO episodes with the mother ted and everyone so they info dumped a bunch of things into those two episodes instead of getting to let us see Ted and Tracy's relationship unfold and more into their lives before her death. Plus, Robin and Barny are way better together than Ted and Robin IMO.
I disagree though. It wasnt pointless, it showed Ted's lingering feelings for Robin and hers even though they were buried, it was the venue where ted met tracy, and the two characters in barney and Robin I dont think were ever supposed to be together, robin even mentions in the final season how they're both too independent and can rarely work as a team. Also the whole show depicts ted as this searcher for "the one", but by the end both him and tracy had their "one", tracies being Max's and Ted's being tracy. But both had another "the one", in ted for tracy and robin for ted. That's the point, "the one" is just a story and doesnt hold up in reality. Theres loads more to go into but I liked the ending lol and that's a few reasons why
@@danielclough9544 No I dont disagree with you at all, I fully support that opinion and view. What I mean by completely pointless was that the WHOLE season revolved purely around the event that in the end basically was pointless aside from the fact thats how ted met tracy the whole season was full of filler episodes to prolong this wedding event... I dont care that Ted and Robin end up together, but I do care that we spent a whole season around one weekend and the only things that really pulled the story together happened in a handful of episodes while the rest were full of things that didnt matter like the whole slap episode, the whole rhyming episode and such. I really just wish they made the engagement episode the season 8 finale and then the first half of season 9 should have been the wedding planning and the last half the wedding and such. It just bugs me that we spent so many episodes for this wedding weekend in one season. if that makes sense. I still stand by the fact that I love Robin and Barney together more though but thats just a personal opinion. I don't care that they didnt work out, just that we wasted so many episodes on their wedding and very very little on anything else. But to each their own.
@@LifeofBecks Fair enough, I get what you mean, the ending episode could've been done throughout season 9 and less on the wedding, but then they wouldnt have the ending feel of the episode with ted and tracy meeting under the yellow umbrella at the end. But yeah, I agree the rhyming episode was terrible probs one of the worst ones of the series, a proper filler ep. But yeah I loved the ending personally and always thought ted and robin would end up together, and they foreshadowed this and the mothers death a lot throughout the show and especially in season 9. I do get the rushed side of it though, they definitely could've extended it or even just cut out some episodes like the rhyme one, which would've left more reasoning and explaining for them to do, cut out shitty eps, and add deleted scenes (one of which is great and I wish they kept in - the one with ted and robin catching up as it really solidifies that as a longing relationship and is kind of sad when the scene ends. I recommend checking it out if u havent already). But yeah, I loved the ending, and I didnt ever really think barney and robin were that comparable personally even though I still enjoyed it, I preferred her with ted. And I thought he end was very realistic in a lot of ways, but still had the clever narrative which highlighted some of the morals of the story by the end such as the whole "the one" stuff, and that sitcom ending feel just in a subverted way. But yeah, everyones entitled to their own opinions and I totally get where your coming from but I personally loved the ending 🙃
It wouldn't make sense for it to show more of Ted and Tracy's life before her death, as it is Ted telling the story to his kids. They were alive and living together as a family through that entire time, so why would Ted be telling them that story of things they were there for?
i dont know how many of you noticed this. when ted and victoria were about to have sex for the first time in their relationship(after 20 days), marshall and lily were struck in the bathroom and they were brushing their teeth with different toothbrushes.
I mean sure Robin and Ted are great together and I understand the whole story arch and everything, but come on! You can't devote the majority of the shows run convincing us that Barney is better for Robin than Ted and then pull that rug out from under us! That's just cruel.
I, personally, prefer the couple Barney and robin, and I was devastated when I learned they were getting a divorce. But also I love the ending, because for me it all makes sense
Ok so this is how the show should’ve ended: Ted: So kids this was how I met your mother Tracy: So your father is telling you one of his long stories, get up now let’s have dinner Barney Smashes open the door Barney: Wait kids, this is how it all happened and it is going to be Legend wait for it *BLACKOUT*
I still don’t really like the finale. Because it is still my opinion that a show called How I Met Your Mother should end with “And that kids is how I met your mother” and just stop there. Her dying and Ted ending up with Robin still feels a tad misleading. But I will admit your analysis makes a lot of sense.
Honestly the bigger issue felt like the fact that they spent all this time on Robin's wedding only to sabotage it in the first 30 minutes of the finale. If they'd cut the season shorter and spent two episodes going through what the finale covered I feel like it wouldve been less insulting
@@panadayana5402 They didn't have much choice. Because the writers didn't know how long the show would go on, they wrote the ending at the beginning of the 2nd year. Ted and Robin were always going to end up together.
@@cair124 if they knew that then I don't quite see why they couldn't have eased into it using the last season? I guess because they worried about fan backlash, which I was one of the fans that felt that they'd really gone the wrong way but I like the analysis that it's about the fact that there's more than one great love, they could have done a better job of showcasing that in the final season because the suddenness of meeting the mother, killing her off, Robin and Barney divorcing, all in one episode is a lot.
@@panadayana5402 Yes. I think the could have pulled off the story they were trying to tell by re-pacing season 9 rather than trying to cram so many emotional beats into the last 45 minutes. I'm not sure how they missed the fact that they couldn't kill off the mother and expect us to accept her replacement in about 90 seconds. The audience wasn't given time to process things emotionally.
The last season when Ted say... How can a mother miss her children's marriage...when Robin's mom doesn't show up for wedding... Tracy cries when she hears this line.. forshadowing Tracy won't be able to see her daughters wedding because she was diagnosed sick ...
In one of the earlier season, before Marshall's dad has died, they do a flash forward to Marshall at his parent's for Thanksgiving, with him cutting the turkey with a 'lightsaber'.... but his dad isn't there because by that time he has died.
Heres another one: in the last season, there was a dinner with ted and tracy, in which ted tells tracy the story about robins mother appearing on robins and barneys wedding. tracy said something like "sure she was there, what mother wouldnt be at her daughtes wedding?" and ted started crying. I thaught he would cry, because his mother wasnt at his wedding, BUT! it is, because ted already knew tracy is deadly ill and wouldnt witness their daughters wedding as well.
The reason why us hardcore fans got upset, was because we had waiting years to finally meet his wife and get to know the silly antics of their relationship took, but instead we only had those few episodes to only end it with Robin. We were robbed!!!!!
I was upset, too! I wanted to see Ted and Tracy's whole relationship..like Lily and Marshalls relationship with all the fights and sweet details. And Tracy ends up dying?! WTF is that?!
One thing that people never seemed to notice was the broach. Barney said to Virginia in season 2 "there's a story behind that broach and I'm gonna hear it". Then in season 5 there's a cut to them sitting in a car laughing and Barney says "and that's how you got the broach?". Very subtle detail but one of my favorites :-)
I've never been a big fan of Ted, so pretentious and actually kind of a jerk to so many of the women he dated, yet the writers played it in a way where the girls were actually the issue and Ted "dodged a bullet". Barney at least was honest about who he was.. and it hit even harder in the feels when he had real "human moments". Barney and Robin were best suited for each other..
Big Chungus that’s not what they said. They just said at least Barney admitted to it. Ted was a jerk to women and honestly used women and threw them away when he didn’t think they reached his perfect idea of “the one”. Ted was just as bad if not worse than Barney
Yeah I agree but we have to remember that the story is told by TED'S point of view. Of course he doesn't see himself as a jerk. Neil Patrick Harris confirmed that Ted also insisted on Barney's flaws to make him seems more gentle and normal
I also have a sort of theory. When robin and Barney get married, they vow to love each other for the rest of their lives, and then at the end of the scene, the old Ted says "and it was, indeed, legendary". In the same episode, Robin explains that legendary really means "not real" or false. Maybe it was a clue that their marriage was not going to last?
Also, the promise Barney does to Robin is to never lie to her, but just when he say this to her, he break it, saying that he never called a bear for the wedding or something just like this
The thing most don't understand is the show's title is a misnomer. The title implies that the story is about Ted and the unknown mother (Tracy), but looking at the whole series, the show actually only tells Ted and Robin's love story. Without the title, the show makes sense and has a satisfying ending.
I don't agree. The ending felt rushed, and we barely got time to know the mother. I think they should have dedicated at least 3 or 4 episodes to life with the mother. I know Ted was moving to Chicago, but they should have written it to happen later, and just say it is the same "I have to leave, because I can't see Robin with my best friend", and let him stay for a month or two after with the mother, dedicate an episode to Chicago, and an episode to her death. The ending by itself isn't bad, but they rushed it far too much. You can't dedicate a season to a wedding that falls apart the scene after. At least give the audience some time to enjoy Barney and Robin together. They could just move Ted to Chicago two months after the wedding, write that Robin got a job travelling, which causes the divorce, and Marshall and Lily stay in New York, and make friends with other parents.
Exactly I see why they did that the directors said from the start they had the ending already planned that’s why the kids say this story isn’t about mom it’s about how u totally have the hots for aunt robin 💯💯
In season 1 episode 9 titled “Belly full of turkey”, we actually hear the mother’s name. It’s the name of one of the strippers. She goes up to him while he’s eating the thanksgiving food there, he offers her some she say no thanks, the she says: Stripper: My name’s Amber. Ted: Okay Stripper: Actually my name’s Tracy. The mother’s name is Tracy McConnell.
Then why would Ted tell that story the entire time to the kids with zero sign of Tracy, when she lived in their house together... wouldnt make sense. I think for his storytelling to the kids for that long it had to make sense that she wasnt there...
One funny Easter egg I noticed was that we actually learn the mother’s name in I think season 2 when Ted and Barney go to a strip club for Thanksgiving and Ted plays a joke on his kids by saying a stripper walked up to him and introduced herself as Tracy then he told the kids “and that’s how I met your mother”
Mezza Tazza Well if you do ever need to talk to someone I’m here. Even a year ago can feel like yesterday. Especially with family. Being there for one another is all you can do.
We learn the Mother's name is "Tracy" in an episode where Ted talks to a stripper named Tracy. He says, "...and that's how I met your mother" and the kids freak out saying, "WHAT?" with Ted replying, "Just kidding".
Gary blauman also died in an earlier episode then they brought him back to life for that last episode, Barney tells a story of him Gary peeing on the desk and quitting. Then says he moved in with a family member and died.
This should be the ending: 1. Ted and Tracy lives on and having a wonderful family. 2. Barney and Robin changed and realized about family and they will have a baby and that will permanently changed their views about relationship and family. 3. Lily and Marshal still in love with each other 4. Last scene should be their final time together at the bar with their partners sharing the beauty of family and friendship and they will have a final toast and get drunk until 10 pm only because they already have a different life and every big events they still get together. This should be the ending. Character development + Life lessons + Happy Ending. Just like the ending of Big Bang Theory
I love this show and it really was one of the best shows ever we got laughs some sadness and just crazy not to be begging for likes but this was really amazing anyone wit me(please OSSA notice me)
Season 1 Episode 1 "You see that girl? I'm gonna marry her someday" It's already hinted THAT early in the show that the writer will get Ted and Robin together
It was really sad watching Tracy died in the end I mean , come on...it was what we were waiting for and it was really over in a minute I would love to see a spin of the story of Ted and Tracy life as couple but now we know this is over
What also alot of people did not notice was. When marshall found out his dad died the parking meter says 'expired'. Could be coincidence but maybe it was a subtle hint
The thing I didn’t like about the finale was two fold and it’s actually the same mistake twice. They spent the entire series saying that Tracy was Teds perfect match, you finally meet her and they kill her off. They also spent the entire series showing that Ted and Robin were not good for one another only to put them together in the final episode. The alternate ending would have been the better choice.
The show is how I met your mother. At no point in the show while Ted spends years searching for the one does it say that the mother is the one. It’s just Ted telling his kids how he met their mother. The one was Robin and was always Robin. I loved the ending.
Hooded Dreamer Also my toughts.. I dont know why everybody expects different ending, he clearly said million times Robin is the one and she never said that Ted isn't.. she just wanted different things at different times until she managed to got them all.. and she was ready at the end to finally be with "the one" Ted :) He just wanted to say how he met their mother, but also tell it from where he met Robin for the first time so his kids will give him approval to be with her..
Anyone ever catch that Robin is actually Robin Jr and that's why her dad calls her RJ? In the credits the actor who plays her dad is listed as Robin Sr. Bam.
I would like to say the truth, that I have known of all the tiny details. You know why? Cause I watched the entire season for like 9 times now LOL. But thanks! You did a great job!
Please remember that it is very likely that Ted exaggerated when talking about Barney so his kids wouldn't mind if he got together with (one of) his best friends Ex-Wife.
Yes! Thank you for this. I loved the finale and I fully appreciated the understanding that you can be completely in love more than once in your life. Ted Loved Tracy. Ted Loved Robin. His love for Robin doesn't take away from his love for Tracy.
It highlights the complexities of life, and the balance between happiness, tragedy, and making the best of what life throws at you. Which is what the entire series is about.
Because I hated the ending, I watched the entire series again just to see the signs and foreshadowing. And you’re absolutely right! The way they foreshadowed and actually followed up on that «pin in the wall», was amazing. So I do hate the ending a little less now😊
Ted and Robin is the central couple in this show. He settles with Tracy and maybe even loves her but part of his heart always was in love with Robin. Robin married Barney being in love with Ted and Ted encourages her being good Bro and thinking he will start over in Chicago. If You don't see this then consider two things: Firstly during wedding most heartfelt conversations Robin has with Ted, even during whole engagement, and secondly Robins mother, whose only appearance is for showing feminine side in Robin, gives her advice what should she look for in husband and that man in Robins live is Ted. Also that episode ends with Robin realizing how she has made worst decision in her life. Or citing that knight character "You choose poorly". Barney as pictured in show is the worst. He is not only sociopath but also brings Ted down with him. And Ted, if You have watched the show, is easily impressionable.
I think that How I Met Your Mother is one of the most meticulously written and portrayed series ever. Ted is a lucky person who found his 'the one' twice through the series. Love doesn't has to happen just once.
True. There are a lot of videos and articles about things we missed and easter eggs and they still make new ones. It's been 6 years people, we kinda know everything. But ok, there are worse. Some people still talking about thing we missed in Friends.
Another Easter egg is we actually hear the mothers name a few times throughout the show. The first one (and most noticeable) is Tracy the stripper from the “belly full of Turkey” episode. But there’s also another episode. I think it’s the episode when Marshall first starts working for GNB and Barney’s assistant is also named Tracy
Another easter egg was when Ted's mother told Ted about how she and Ted's Dad were different. Ted's father was really into the concept of love and Ted's mom was more of the down to earth kind. Many may not have realised this, but this was an indication towards Ted's and Robin's relationship and maybe Ted's mom's and dad's separation was kind off a spoiler of Ted and Robin not really working together but well then we have the finale.
So Blauman, Barney's colleague in the show is the husband of Cobie Smulders which played Robin Scherbatsky, and Sandy Rivers, Robin's colleague in the show is the husband of Alyson Hannigan which played Lily Aldrin, and Scooter, Lily's ex boyfriend is the husband of Neil Patrick Harris which played the part of Barney Stinson. Nice 😁
When Barney heard about the naked man. He said that “ the technique in hair cutting where you put the hair between two fingers and you cut from the top - It's a total game changer!” Totally looks like random fun line. Then, you will find out that one of Barney’s play is pretending to be a gay Hairstylist who has a straight brother.
My issue with the finale is that throughout 9 full seasons "the mother a.k.a tracy you see her for less than an hours time. Kinda hate how he spends all this time obsessed with robin for him to seemingly be over her after meeting tracy and then hooking up with robin again just a couple years after his wife died? Also having the final season being the 3 days leading up to the wedding for barney and robin? The show would have been better if they just ended it before they ran out of good ideas.
Season 1, Episode 9, Ted meets a stripper named Amber who reveals her name to be Tracy. Ted says “That’s the true story of how I met your mother.” The children freak out in disbelief, thinking their mom was a stripper. But Ted tells them he’s kidding. Then we eventually find out that “the mother” is named Tracy.
Also, in the first episode Ted tells the story of meeting the mother, which was a stripper or something named Tracy (which was a joke on the kids), which is the mother's name.... foreshadowing there!
while there are hints every time they cut to the kids that Robin is the mom (at least in most major aspects) the title of the show should actually have bean how I met your Step mom Robin.
Something I noticed that I never see in videos like this is that throughout all nine seasons about 3 or 4 actors from the show freaks and geeks, which Jason Segel was on in the nineties, appear on the show and i think it’s one of the most subtle easter egg ever
Amélie St-Germain same with Bob Saget being the narrator and Dave Coulier (they were in Full House together) appearing in the episode with the robin sparkles documentary. Ted (as the narrator) even makes a reference to their real life friendship
My favorite "detail" is early on (season 1? Or 2) when robin thinks ted is proposing but the ring isnt his ans someone takes it and propses..its an actual in real life proposal that was filmed and made it into the show
In season 3 episode 15 Barney says that Gary Bloumen died after having his cousin’s website do badly, but then he shows up at their wedding. Didn’t he say that Tracy didn’t date after her boyfriend died? Cause she had a whole boyfriend for a while after that! Was it just me or was the scene where the gang was telling jokes about Canada and the couple in the background was supposed to be obvious, I thought that was part of the joke?
I watched The HIMYM finale twice and I think that was so sad that tracy dies in the end, but I agree with the video that eventually Ted and Robin were meant to be together from the beginning because eventually they got what they want. ♥️
For me what ruinned the finale is the they dedicated the entire season for Baneys e Robin's wedding, after you see they grow and fall in love, is difficult for accept their divorce in SECONDS
Big mistake. I watched all episodes again and even the final is good to me now. It is very sad but it shows how good this tv show was and how time and the reality works. Life changes and you can't hang up with your friends in bars forever
Reading the comments I think not many people realize the 9th season wasn't just about wedding, it was about memories as well and that's something I loved about it.
I hated the ending when I first watched it and still do. One of the main reasons is that the kids are always asking ted to tell the story already and for him to stop talking. But, like, if my mother was dead I would like to know everything and never would ask my father to rush the story o
One thing that I still don't get, if Ted and Tracy don't get married till after their kids are born, why is Ted wearing a wedding ring in the scenes that were taking place before they got married
Do you remember the Star wars marathon that the guys did every 3 years? Look closely when they were looking into the future (the real one with Ted's daughter in his hand). Look closely to how hard Barney was trying to hide his left hand (mostly I guess because they didnt want to hint that he is/isnt married by showing a wedding ring). Then also look at Ted's hand (clearly showing a wedding ring) which as we later learn was probably a mistake by the directors, because we later on were informed that Tracy and Ted were engaged for 5 years before getting married (where that cutoff was supposedly 3 years later into the future) I am not so sure if that has a bigger meaning, but to me it simply sounds like a mistake that was over looked.
I noticed something. In the words of Barney Stinson, Gary Blauman actually died. He said it in the episode where Marshall should screamed at his boss. And then suddenly he is fully alive invited to the wedding, what is up with that? :D

Here's something. Their doppelgangers all represented a part of the main characters personality or desire. Moustache Marshall came along when real Marshall was not yet a lawyer but the doppelganger was. Lesbian Robin represents Robin's upbringing where her dad wanted her to be more masculine and manly and she tried to please him. Stripper Lilly represents the desire within Lilly to be more sexually free than her real life allows. Robot wrestler Ted shows Ted's desire to be considered cool by his friends. And lastly Barney who's doppelganger is a gynecologist which I dont need to explain.
Cody W OMGG blew my mind
This is the only thing I didn’t know in this whole video
Actually Dr. Stangel, Barney’s real doppelgänger, was a Reproductive Endocrinologist as opposed to a Gynecologist. Basically, a Fertility Specialist. Remember, he worked with men as well, checking their sperm count; something that a Gynecologist doesn’t do. It’s even mentioned in the first 2 minutes of “Bad News,” S-6, Ep. 5.😇
Sarah Skelton maybe since Barneys so against having kids his doppelgänger would be someone trying to help couples get pregnant
@@benwalker4305 I mean having kids was actually a desire of Barneys that was showed a few times in the series. When Robin had the pregnancy scare, when he and Ted "adopted" a baby together, and in the finale when he had a baby and loved her like nothing else
Another important detail that NPH has confirmed is that we have to remember this story is told from Ted’s point of view. His entire portrayal of Barney being this terribly sociopathic man was actually fake and truly Barney was no different than most late 20s early 30s single man in NYC. He wanted to portray Barney as this terrible person so when he ended up with Robin some day, he would seem like the better man. But if you also pay attention closely, you realize how many women Ted was with throughout the series and how he broke many hearts because he couldn’t get over the girl he claimed was his “one”.
Waaao, this perspective blew my mind
Ted truly is the worst character on this show 😂 he’s so annoying.
True and cause of that I really never liked Ted
Don't forget either, by Ted's own admission when Robin was dating an older man, "When the girl you like is dating another man, you're mind tends to accentuate their flaws." Ever since then, I contemplated how accurate he was portraying Barney because he told the story knowing Barney stole Robin from him.
I always thought Ted is way too obsessive over Robin
I just want the show to end with Ted and his wife being happy, Barney and Robin remaining together and Marshall and Lily doing their Marshmallow and Lilypad stuff.
Then go and just watch the alternate ending
Ryuuji • life is not this.
Just keep imagining stuff, ok boomer? Go cry in the corner boo hoo
Perfekt I love Barney and Robin and Tracy and Ted Perfekt why it end so
PS: Sorry for my Englisch I am Germanen and not were good at Englisch Sorry 🤣🤣😂
We all did, my friend, we all did...
The “Mother’s” name is revealed in the first season during the episode “Belly Full of Turkey.”
After getting kicked out of the place where Ted and Robin realized that Barney wasn’t VOLUNTEERING to serve Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless, and that it was for court ordered community service, remember, they ended up at the strip club for the Thanksgiving buffet. Ted engages in a conversation with one of the strippers who, when they introduce themselves to each other, says that her name is “Tracy.” “Narrator Ted” then follows up with, “...and that, kids, is how I met your mother.” To which the kids react in utter shock, nearly jumping off the couch and shouting “WHAT???!!!” before “Narrator Ted” laughingly says “just kidding,” putting the kids at ease. The kids KNOW their mother’s name was Tracy. So keeping in mind that everything happening onscreen, which is “in the past” to the kids, is being intricately told to the them, hearing that he introduced himself as Ted, and the stripper introduced herself as Tracy, the kid’s’ reaction confirms that their mother’s name is, in fact, Tracy. The kids would have known he was lying, and very badly, if the stripper’s name was anything other than Tracy.
WHEW!!! I hope that all makes sense. I probably could have made it shorter, but take a guess as to which character I’m most similar to...
Many strippers have stage names though! But you're right
You're right, but many of us got that the first time we watched it🙂 hut for those who didn't.. thats a good explanation
Dude....!! That's so far the most brilliant catch. I literally went back to see the episode leading to that part. Thanks mate!!
You do realize Strippers don't actually use their real names right? Just how many Crystals and Chasities do you think there are?
She introduced herself as another name first (cant remember what) and then says her real name is actually Tracey
You missed out one more detail....
Whenever Marshal's future is shown wherein he is in his office...you can see a poster on the left behind showing Lake Nose Monster being caught/discovered by a lawyer.....just like how Marshall always wanted to discover the Lake Nose Monster....
LAWYERED!!
Nice catch!
Lake Nose? Isn't it Loch Ness?
Lake nos ampota hahahaah
It's Nessie
In Scotland u don’t get lakes they’re called lochs, weird thing we do :)
One season for Barney and Robin wedding.
One episode to reveal they divorced. Multiple seasons to build up their relationship. This is the main reason I hated the ending
H.L you simply don’t understand the meaning behind why they break up this is like the most real show ever since the way how ted talks about life and how he found true love but still god took her back to heaven to soon the way that a guy count stay still no matter what it was obvious that they where going to divorce everything about that show is true to some point and I love the ending because it’s real life they try the best to be happy and they count
also, there was the part about how I met your father and that was robins kids but after that robin has no kids and barney and her are divorced
Kaitlyn Faulkner she couldn’t have kids that’s why....but still adopt but the main point of the story is that they try
H.L right? Season 9 was so boring I ended up skipping some episodes I watched the actual wedding and the last to episodes
Yeah😌
The thing that annoys me about the ending is, we spent 22 episodes on a single weekend for a wedding that turned out to be completely pointless, and only got TWO episodes with the mother ted and everyone so they info dumped a bunch of things into those two episodes instead of getting to let us see Ted and Tracy's relationship unfold and more into their lives before her death. Plus, Robin and Barny are way better together than Ted and Robin IMO.
EXACTLY
I disagree though. It wasnt pointless, it showed Ted's lingering feelings for Robin and hers even though they were buried, it was the venue where ted met tracy, and the two characters in barney and Robin I dont think were ever supposed to be together, robin even mentions in the final season how they're both too independent and can rarely work as a team. Also the whole show depicts ted as this searcher for "the one", but by the end both him and tracy had their "one", tracies being Max's and Ted's being tracy. But both had another "the one", in ted for tracy and robin for ted. That's the point, "the one" is just a story and doesnt hold up in reality. Theres loads more to go into but I liked the ending lol and that's a few reasons why
@@danielclough9544 No I dont disagree with you at all, I fully support that opinion and view. What I mean by completely pointless was that the WHOLE season revolved purely around the event that in the end basically was pointless aside from the fact thats how ted met tracy the whole season was full of filler episodes to prolong this wedding event... I dont care that Ted and Robin end up together, but I do care that we spent a whole season around one weekend and the only things that really pulled the story together happened in a handful of episodes while the rest were full of things that didnt matter like the whole slap episode, the whole rhyming episode and such. I really just wish they made the engagement episode the season 8 finale and then the first half of season 9 should have been the wedding planning and the last half the wedding and such. It just bugs me that we spent so many episodes for this wedding weekend in one season. if that makes sense. I still stand by the fact that I love Robin and Barney together more though but thats just a personal opinion. I don't care that they didnt work out, just that we wasted so many episodes on their wedding and very very little on anything else. But to each their own.
@@LifeofBecks Fair enough, I get what you mean, the ending episode could've been done throughout season 9 and less on the wedding, but then they wouldnt have the ending feel of the episode with ted and tracy meeting under the yellow umbrella at the end. But yeah, I agree the rhyming episode was terrible probs one of the worst ones of the series, a proper filler ep. But yeah I loved the ending personally and always thought ted and robin would end up together, and they foreshadowed this and the mothers death a lot throughout the show and especially in season 9. I do get the rushed side of it though, they definitely could've extended it or even just cut out some episodes like the rhyme one, which would've left more reasoning and explaining for them to do, cut out shitty eps, and add deleted scenes (one of which is great and I wish they kept in - the one with ted and robin catching up as it really solidifies that as a longing relationship and is kind of sad when the scene ends. I recommend checking it out if u havent already). But yeah, I loved the ending, and I didnt ever really think barney and robin were that comparable personally even though I still enjoyed it, I preferred her with ted. And I thought he end was very realistic in a lot of ways, but still had the clever narrative which highlighted some of the morals of the story by the end such as the whole "the one" stuff, and that sitcom ending feel just in a subverted way. But yeah, everyones entitled to their own opinions and I totally get where your coming from but I personally loved the ending 🙃
It wouldn't make sense for it to show more of Ted and Tracy's life before her death, as it is Ted telling the story to his kids. They were alive and living together as a family through that entire time, so why would Ted be telling them that story of things they were there for?
We hardly see Marshall and Lily kiss ?!? They kiss atleast 2 times on each episode
Alkadias facs
LMAO yeah, that's why im confused.
Exactly
Yes
@@rayanahattar bc they kiss fast
i dont know how many of you noticed this. when ted and victoria were about to have sex for the first time in their relationship(after 20 days), marshall and lily were struck in the bathroom and they were brushing their teeth with different toothbrushes.
Anshul Gusain ikrrrr 😂
Exactly
I just watched that episode.
DAYUM 😳
I mean sure Robin and Ted are great together and I understand the whole story arch and everything, but come on! You can't devote the majority of the shows run convincing us that Barney is better for Robin than Ted and then pull that rug out from under us! That's just cruel.
They never did,they shown them as a toxic couple who brought the worst in each other.
I, personally, prefer the couple Barney and robin, and I was devastated when I learned they were getting a divorce. But also I love the ending, because for me it all makes sense
Ok so this is how the show should’ve ended:
Ted: So kids this was how I met your mother
Tracy: So your father is telling you one of his long stories, get up now let’s have dinner
Barney Smashes open the door
Barney: Wait kids, this is how it all happened and it is going to be Legend wait for it
*BLACKOUT*
Omg yes. The finale ruined the entire show for me😭
I still don’t really like the finale. Because it is still my opinion that a show called How I Met Your Mother should end with “And that kids is how I met your mother” and just stop there. Her dying and Ted ending up with Robin still feels a tad misleading. But I will admit your analysis makes a lot of sense.
Honestly the bigger issue felt like the fact that they spent all this time on Robin's wedding only to sabotage it in the first 30 minutes of the finale. If they'd cut the season shorter and spent two episodes going through what the finale covered I feel like it wouldve been less insulting
Dayana Aparicio Very true.
@@panadayana5402 They didn't have much choice. Because the writers didn't know how long the show would go on, they wrote the ending at the beginning of the 2nd year. Ted and Robin were always going to end up together.
@@cair124 if they knew that then I don't quite see why they couldn't have eased into it using the last season? I guess because they worried about fan backlash, which I was one of the fans that felt that they'd really gone the wrong way but I like the analysis that it's about the fact that there's more than one great love, they could have done a better job of showcasing that in the final season because the suddenness of meeting the mother, killing her off, Robin and Barney divorcing, all in one episode is a lot.
@@panadayana5402 Yes. I think the could have pulled off the story they were trying to tell by re-pacing season 9 rather than trying to cram so many emotional beats into the last 45 minutes.
I'm not sure how they missed the fact that they couldn't kill off the mother and expect us to accept her replacement in about 90 seconds. The audience wasn't given time to process things emotionally.
The last season when Ted say... How can a mother miss her children's marriage...when Robin's mom doesn't show up for wedding... Tracy cries when she hears this line.. forshadowing Tracy won't be able to see her daughters wedding because she was diagnosed sick ...
Youve got it mixed there.. Tracey is the one who says that and Ted is the one who cries.
Ted was the one crying
DNA Photography My Mind is blown 🤯
In one of the earlier season, before Marshall's dad has died, they do a flash forward to Marshall at his parent's for Thanksgiving, with him cutting the turkey with a 'lightsaber'.... but his dad isn't there because by that time he has died.
Nice catch
Heres another one: in the last season, there was a dinner with ted and tracy, in which ted tells tracy the story about robins mother appearing on robins and barneys wedding. tracy said something like "sure she was there, what mother wouldnt be at her daughtes wedding?" and ted started crying. I thaught he would cry, because his mother wasnt at his wedding, BUT! it is, because ted already knew tracy is deadly ill and wouldnt witness their daughters wedding as well.
The reason why us hardcore fans got upset, was because we had waiting years to finally meet his wife and get to know the silly antics of their relationship took, but instead we only had those few episodes to only end it with Robin. We were robbed!!!!!
I love the ending and I'm a hardcore fan.
@@ich111ful you're the only one tho. 😫
I was upset, too! I wanted to see Ted and Tracy's whole relationship..like Lily and Marshalls relationship with all the fights and sweet details. And Tracy ends up dying?! WTF is that?!
@@marixa310 no...
@@777coffeelover right? We were robbed of how Ted fell in love
One thing that people never seemed to notice was the broach. Barney said to Virginia in season 2 "there's a story behind that broach and I'm gonna hear it". Then in season 5 there's a cut to them sitting in a car laughing and Barney says "and that's how you got the broach?".
Very subtle detail but one of my favorites :-)
Aw! You're right. Good one!
Domuniq
I feel special because I also noticed this
Domuniq I noticed that too omg I thought I was the only one
I've never been a big fan of Ted, so pretentious and actually kind of a jerk to so many of the women he dated, yet the writers played it in a way where the girls were actually the issue and Ted "dodged a bullet". Barney at least was honest about who he was.. and it hit even harder in the feels when he had real "human moments". Barney and Robin were best suited for each other..
Agree, barney and robin are the perfect couple
Big Chungus that’s not what they said. They just said at least Barney admitted to it. Ted was a jerk to women and honestly used women and threw them away when he didn’t think they reached his perfect idea of “the one”. Ted was just as bad if not worse than Barney
Yeah I agree but we have to remember that the story is told by TED'S point of view. Of course he doesn't see himself as a jerk. Neil Patrick Harris confirmed that Ted also insisted on Barney's flaws to make him seems more gentle and normal
Literally *best suited*. 😁
Nothing suited them like a suit 🤷♀️😂
I also have a sort of theory. When robin and Barney get married, they vow to love each other for the rest of their lives, and then at the end of the scene, the old Ted says "and it was, indeed, legendary". In the same episode, Robin explains that legendary really means "not real" or false. Maybe it was a clue that their marriage was not going to last?
Yes, I love it! Good observation 👍🏻
Also, the promise Barney does to Robin is to never lie to her, but just when he say this to her, he break it, saying that he never called a bear for the wedding or something just like this
The opening song is called "Hey Beautiful" and the closing one "Heaven"...
The thing most don't understand is the show's title is a misnomer. The title implies that the story is about Ted and the unknown mother (Tracy), but looking at the whole series, the show actually only tells Ted and Robin's love story. Without the title, the show makes sense and has a satisfying ending.
Stealth Blade 17 well Robin is their mother anyway, step mother 😁
I don't agree. The ending felt rushed, and we barely got time to know the mother. I think they should have dedicated at least 3 or 4 episodes to life with the mother. I know Ted was moving to Chicago, but they should have written it to happen later, and just say it is the same "I have to leave, because I can't see Robin with my best friend", and let him stay for a month or two after with the mother, dedicate an episode to Chicago, and an episode to her death. The ending by itself isn't bad, but they rushed it far too much. You can't dedicate a season to a wedding that falls apart the scene after. At least give the audience some time to enjoy Barney and Robin together. They could just move Ted to Chicago two months after the wedding, write that Robin got a job travelling, which causes the divorce, and Marshall and Lily stay in New York, and make friends with other parents.
Exactly I see why they did that the directors said from the start they had the ending already planned that’s why the kids say this story isn’t about mom it’s about how u totally have the hots for aunt robin 💯💯
In season 1 episode 9 titled “Belly full of turkey”, we actually hear the mother’s name. It’s the name of one of the strippers. She goes up to him while he’s eating the thanksgiving food there, he offers her some she say no thanks, the she says:
Stripper: My name’s Amber.
Ted: Okay
Stripper: Actually my name’s Tracy.
The mother’s name is Tracy McConnell.
Yeah and we could have guess it, because after this scene, the old Ted says to his kids "and that's how I met your mother", and they believe him
My idea of the ending of the ending is Robin gets back together with Barney after Ellie was born, and Tracy didn’t die
Then why would Ted tell that story the entire time to the kids with zero sign of Tracy, when she lived in their house together... wouldnt make sense. I think for his storytelling to the kids for that long it had to make sense that she wasnt there...
They should have shown that who won the bet between Marshall and lily.....
As Robin and Ted ended up being together.
There is a deleted scene of that happening, if you didnt know.
@@tumbsor okay😅😅
@@maitripatel6702 yea you can find it here on YT as well
They did. Very discreetly
In the last episode after tracy takes a photo, you can see Marshall giving Lily the 5 bucks
One funny Easter egg I noticed was that we actually learn the mother’s name in I think season 2 when Ted and Barney go to a strip club for Thanksgiving and Ted plays a joke on his kids by saying a stripper walked up to him and introduced herself as Tracy then he told the kids “and that’s how I met your mother”
I noticed after watching it 15 times
Hey I’m amber
I’m ted
I’m kidding my names Tracy
Still ted
Season 1 I believe.
Well that wasn't actually the mother so we are just laugh and don't realize.
“I’m not ready for this” is the exact same my partner said in the same, real life, situation.
I'm sorry to hear that. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys. If you ever need to talk I'm here.
CrookedCasper thank you, I think we managed the whole situation quite well, it was almost exactly a year ago.
Mezza Tazza Well if you do ever need to talk to someone I’m here. Even a year ago can feel like yesterday. Especially with family. Being there for one another is all you can do.
@@CrookedCasper wholesome😊
We learn the Mother's name is "Tracy" in an episode where Ted talks to a stripper named Tracy. He says, "...and that's how I met your mother" and the kids freak out saying, "WHAT?" with Ted replying, "Just kidding".
Gary blauman also died in an earlier episode then they brought him back to life for that last episode, Barney tells a story of him Gary peeing on the desk and quitting. Then says he moved in with a family member and died.
whos Gary? i cant remember
I thought I was the only one who remembered that I was like how they not notice that 🤣
I think it was just a throw-away line "he died", kinda as a tongue-in-cheek, not a true story.
Jason Segal's script actually had Lily telling him she was pregnant. Everyone else's script had the actual line
This should be the ending:
1. Ted and Tracy lives on and having a wonderful family.
2. Barney and Robin changed and realized about family and they will have a baby and that will permanently changed their views about relationship and family.
3. Lily and Marshal still in love with each other
4. Last scene should be their final time together at the bar with their partners sharing the beauty of family and friendship and they will have a final toast and get drunk until 10 pm only because they already have a different life and every big events they still get together. This should be the ending. Character development + Life lessons + Happy Ending. Just like the ending of Big Bang Theory
Eachan Lazlo robin can’t have kids
Life doesn't work like that.
I love this show and it really was one of the best shows ever we got laughs some sadness and just crazy not to be begging for likes but this was really amazing anyone wit me(please OSSA notice me)
Season 1 Episode 1
"You see that girl? I'm gonna marry her someday"
It's already hinted THAT early in the show that the writer will get Ted and Robin together
It was really sad watching Tracy died in the end
I mean , come on...it was what we were waiting for and it was really over in a minute
I would love to see a spin of the story of Ted and Tracy life as couple but now we know this is over
What also alot of people did not notice was. When marshall found out his dad died the parking meter says 'expired'. Could be coincidence but maybe it was a subtle hint
MrDannyx00 it was, throughout the whole episode there are numbers counting down in various scenes
@@DAISYMAYK123 i know... i meant at the end of that scene the parking meter said 'expired'. As in dead
MrDannyx00 that’s exactly what I was saying, it was counting down until he died
The thing I didn’t like about the finale was two fold and it’s actually the same mistake twice. They spent the entire series saying that Tracy was Teds perfect match, you finally meet her and they kill her off. They also spent the entire series showing that Ted and Robin were not good for one another only to put them together in the final episode. The alternate ending would have been the better choice.
I still HATE the finally, I mean how could you ruin something this perfect???
Because that's life
The show is how I met your mother. At no point in the show while Ted spends years searching for the one does it say that the mother is the one. It’s just Ted telling his kids how he met their mother. The one was Robin and was always Robin. I loved the ending.
Hooded Dreamer Also my toughts.. I dont know why everybody expects different ending, he clearly said million times Robin is the one and she never said that Ted isn't.. she just wanted different things at different times until she managed to got them all.. and she was ready at the end to finally be with "the one" Ted :)
He just wanted to say how he met their mother, but also tell it from where he met Robin for the first time so his kids will give him approval to be with her..
Tracy's initials are also TM I.e The Mother which I think is an awesome Easter egg
Finished himym last week for the first time 😁
Welcome to the club! 💗
congratulations!
M JAK MORELE me too!
Anyone ever catch that Robin is actually Robin Jr and that's why her dad calls her RJ? In the credits the actor who plays her dad is listed as Robin Sr.
Bam.
I would like to say the truth, that I have known of all the tiny details. You know why? Cause I watched the entire season for like 9 times now LOL. But thanks! You did a great job!
Love how he commented on the sandwiches as if that's not the whole god damn joke....
Please remember that it is very likely that Ted exaggerated when talking about Barney so his kids wouldn't mind if he got together with (one of) his best friends Ex-Wife.
Yes! Thank you for this. I loved the finale and I fully appreciated the understanding that you can be completely in love more than once in your life. Ted Loved Tracy. Ted Loved Robin. His love for Robin doesn't take away from his love for Tracy.
Niel Patrick Harris is hilarious man easily the best character although I love em all he's definitely a born showman
I really loved the ending even though not many did 🥰
It highlights the complexities of life, and the balance between happiness, tragedy, and making the best of what life throws at you. Which is what the entire series is about.
@@debuthunter5389 I completely agree
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER IS LITERALLY A FLAWLESS TV SHOW
Ted's one was Robin but the timing was never right.
Just finished rewatching HIMYM love that the commment section is still alive and kicking
Because I hated the ending, I watched the entire series again just to see the signs and foreshadowing. And you’re absolutely right! The way they foreshadowed and actually followed up on that «pin in the wall», was amazing. So I do hate the ending a little less now😊
Ted and Robin is the central couple in this show. He settles with Tracy and maybe even loves her but part of his heart always was in love with Robin. Robin married Barney being in love with Ted and Ted encourages her being good Bro and thinking he will start over in Chicago. If You don't see this then consider two things: Firstly during wedding most heartfelt conversations Robin has with Ted, even during whole engagement, and secondly Robins mother, whose only appearance is for showing feminine side in Robin, gives her advice what should she look for in husband and that man in Robins live is Ted. Also that episode ends with Robin realizing how she has made worst decision in her life. Or citing that knight character "You choose poorly".
Barney as pictured in show is the worst. He is not only sociopath but also brings Ted down with him. And Ted, if You have watched the show, is easily impressionable.
Brocode term actually existed since Friends SS1
0:20
When he said «Darry» instead of «Dairy» almost ruined my love for the phrase «Legen.. wait for it.. DAIRY»
I think that How I Met Your Mother is one of the most meticulously written and portrayed series ever. Ted is a lucky person who found his 'the one' twice through the series. Love doesn't has to happen just once.
I'm still pissed off i wasted all those years waiting for something big, only for ted & robin to end up together. Utter nonsense
What?!?!?!?!?!?! This really happened?!?!?!
Rob Tama yes
Who kinda wished that barney and Robin ended up together
And that that Ted never had such a big crush on robin
What would you have preferred that would have made sense?
NPH is one of the best actors I’ve seen. No one could of played Barney as perfectly as him.
We talked about the bro code before this show
Seriously. My buddy's and I did too back in the 90's
@@jakeg77 same here
@@jakeg77 number 1 was always bros over hoes
Bro Code , was talking about it back in the 80's
Me and my friends also used it back in the 50’s
Holy smokes - all the facts in this video have been known for YEARS now. I was hoping I’d missed something elese
True. There are a lot of videos and articles about things we missed and easter eggs and they still make new ones. It's been 6 years people, we kinda know everything. But ok, there are worse. Some people still talking about thing we missed in Friends.
Another Easter egg is we actually hear the mothers name a few times throughout the show. The first one (and most noticeable) is Tracy the stripper from the “belly full of Turkey” episode. But there’s also another episode. I think it’s the episode when Marshall first starts working for GNB and Barney’s assistant is also named Tracy
“Smoked like a chimney” 🤣
Another easter egg was when Ted's mother told Ted about how she and Ted's Dad were different. Ted's father was really into the concept of love and Ted's mom was more of the down to earth kind. Many may not have realised this, but this was an indication towards Ted's and Robin's relationship and maybe Ted's mom's and dad's separation was kind off a spoiler of Ted and Robin not really working together but well then we have the finale.
Excellent last point about Tracy! I never thought of it that way and now I don’t hate the ending as much!
Thank you for that! We are glad that we managed to make you feel a bit happier! 💖
Maybe in was a Canadian thing--but we used the expression "bro code" alot in the 90s
Yeah. "Bro code" is much older than HIMYM. Love barney but he did not coin the phrase
@@prestoncluett2556 Maybe he popularised it? It existed before, but I didn't reference it until I learned about it on the show.
I miss this show. It was unique. It was told by the main character’s future self to his kids and the whole show is about meeting a character.
So Blauman, Barney's colleague in the show is the husband of Cobie Smulders which played Robin Scherbatsky, and Sandy Rivers, Robin's colleague in the show is the husband of Alyson Hannigan which played Lily Aldrin, and Scooter, Lily's ex boyfriend is the husband of Neil Patrick Harris which played the part of Barney Stinson. Nice 😁
Please... The Bro core is something very old. Even in friends this was already a subject.
Barney is the biggest jewel in this show. He (along with ted,Marshall,Lily,Robin) made this show awesome .
I knew all of these facts, but I loved the video. Well done! :)
When Barney heard about the naked man. He said that “ the technique in hair cutting where you put the hair between two fingers and you cut from the top - It's a total game changer!” Totally looks like random fun line. Then, you will find out that one of Barney’s play is pretending to be a gay Hairstylist who has a straight brother.
We used to talk about the "bro code" and "girl code" in elementary school. So it did exist before this show
My issue with the finale is that throughout 9 full seasons "the mother a.k.a tracy you see her for less than an hours time. Kinda hate how he spends all this time obsessed with robin for him to seemingly be over her after meeting tracy and then hooking up with robin again just a couple years after his wife died? Also having the final season being the 3 days leading up to the wedding for barney and robin? The show would have been better if they just ended it before they ran out of good ideas.
Just a couple years? 6 years...
Season 1, Episode 9, Ted meets a stripper named Amber who reveals her name to be Tracy. Ted says “That’s the true story of how I met your mother.” The children freak out in disbelief, thinking their mom was a stripper. But Ted tells them he’s kidding. Then we eventually find out that “the mother” is named Tracy.
You forgot to mention this. Every main character has picked baby Marvin except Barney.
I was about to comment that I knew these all.But then I realised,I'm watching this video for the 2nd time.
Also, in the first episode Ted tells the story of meeting the mother, which was a stripper or something named Tracy (which was a joke on the kids), which is the mother's name.... foreshadowing there!
"Bazing.... wait for it... Gah!"
The feeling when I knew everything. I´m a real fan though :D
while there are hints every time they cut to the kids that Robin is the mom (at least in most major aspects) the title of the show should actually have bean how I met your Step mom Robin.
If it did tho the series would have lasted one episode long rip
i will always ask: who was Tracy s soulmate? Max or Ted?
Max, I still believe. If you go simplistic and believe in "soul mates".
After watching himym for a second time the finale was actually quite good. The first time I watched it I was so angry at the writers
Not just Himym Fan, but raptors fan as well? I love him
Something I noticed that I never see in videos like this is that throughout all nine seasons about 3 or 4 actors from the show freaks and geeks, which Jason Segel was on in the nineties, appear on the show and i think it’s one of the most subtle easter egg ever
Amélie St-Germain same with Bob Saget being the narrator and Dave Coulier (they were in Full House together) appearing in the episode with the robin sparkles documentary. Ted (as the narrator) even makes a reference to their real life friendship
I'm willing to bet the clocks being set to 4:20 is a reference to Pulp Fiction which also had all clocks set on 4:20.
I loved everything about the show. the story was on point, the actors were AMAZING and funny. Genius :)) thanks, universe :b
Am I the only one loving the ending? Tracy is wonderful, but Ted and Robin just belong together. Ted always ended up loving Robin.
My favorite "detail" is early on (season 1? Or 2) when robin thinks ted is proposing but the ring isnt his ans someone takes it and propses..its an actual in real life proposal that was filmed and made it into the show
In season 3 episode 15 Barney says that Gary Bloumen died after having his cousin’s website do badly, but then he shows up at their wedding. Didn’t he say that Tracy didn’t date after her boyfriend died? Cause she had a whole boyfriend for a while after that! Was it just me or was the scene where the gang was telling jokes about Canada and the couple in the background was supposed to be obvious, I thought that was part of the joke?
I watched The HIMYM finale twice and I think that was so sad that tracy dies in the end, but I agree with the video that eventually Ted and Robin were meant to be together from the beginning because eventually they got what they want. ♥️
For me what ruinned the finale is the they dedicated the entire season for Baneys e Robin's wedding, after you see they grow and fall in love, is difficult for accept their divorce in SECONDS
The final is the reason why I don't watch re-runs of the show or even I never opend it once on Netflix. I am still angry.
Big mistake. I watched all episodes again and even the final is good to me now. It is very sad but it shows how good this tv show was and how time and the reality works. Life changes and you can't hang up with your friends in bars forever
I just finished watching all series again like 8 times at least haha my fav show after friends 🤩
It's the same for me
Reading the comments I think not many people realize the 9th season wasn't just about wedding, it was about memories as well and that's something I loved about it.
Ok. Details I probably didn’t know. I’ve seen the show 14 times I know this all already.
I hated the ending when I first watched it and still do. One of the main reasons is that the kids are always asking ted to tell the story already and for him to stop talking. But, like, if my mother was dead I would like to know everything and never would ask my father to rush the story o
One thing that I still don't get, if Ted and Tracy don't get married till after their kids are born, why is Ted wearing a wedding ring in the scenes that were taking place before they got married
Do you remember the Star wars marathon that the guys did every 3 years? Look closely when they were looking into the future (the real one with Ted's daughter in his hand). Look closely to how hard Barney was trying to hide his left hand (mostly I guess because they didnt want to hint that he is/isnt married by showing a wedding ring). Then also look at Ted's hand (clearly showing a wedding ring) which as we later learn was probably a mistake by the directors, because we later on were informed that Tracy and Ted were engaged for 5 years before getting married (where that cutoff was supposedly 3 years later into the future) I am not so sure if that has a bigger meaning, but to me it simply sounds like a mistake that was over looked.
Nice video. Can i ask about the pineapple?
Gave you a thumbs up for wearing the Raptors Tee
I noticed something. In the words of Barney Stinson, Gary Blauman actually died. He said it in the episode where Marshall should screamed at his boss. And then suddenly he is fully alive invited to the wedding, what is up with that? :D
The final is GREAT
