It would have killed the story of Ted having to leave right away to catch the train. Those good byes out on the patio were heart wrenching. Having Robin's deleted scene would have upset that.
paladine6 I get that and i adore the goodbye scene but wouldn't have been kind of cool if it were like "if robin hadn't gone up there I would have caught my train, and never have met your mother" idk it just seems like it could have worked
The show ended way too abruptly. It needed between 5 and 10 more episodes to round up all the stories. We barely got to know Tracy, there was no time in between Barney and Robin getting married and splitting up, we didn't see Marshall and Lily's kids grow up even a little bit, Ted found Tracy and in no time she was dead, we didn't see the interaction between Ted's kids and Robin, or who Barney got pregnant. All that could've been told in just a few episodes.
I agree so and so. The show is "how I met your mother" I honestly would've liked it if instead they just showed random ass pictures of everyone happy with finished stories and wedding pics with tracy instead. The dining was so mid with her dying and what not.
To be honest a lot of that just didn’t feel like series finale stuff. Like they basically opened the biggest can of worms and suddenly none of the characters plots were resolved. Before season 9 it kinda seemed like everything would be resolved but it just wasn’t and it’s super weird to me that they did it that way
Murtaza Rizvi it wasn’t rushed, it was planned since the start of himym. Unless you mean the number of episodes on the wedding felt was too much and it overstayed its welcome, which could have been focused on other elements, then you would be correct. But the ending was not rushed, just poorly handled...
@@murtazarizvi368 The whole last 2 or 3 seasons were extremely slow and then all of sudden rushed. It was an awful dynamic. They spent more time talking about Ted and Victoria getting back together & being back together, than they ever did talk about Ted & The Mother getting together & being together. There was too much filler when they could've done more. If you watch the whole show, you get the full story but when you watch it all the way through, it's agonizing to weed through all the filler to get the whole story.
I'm most pissed about how they deleted the scene where they showed Ted happy and over Robin. That was the whole point of the show :( Edit : wow, so many likes. Thank you! 💚
@@uddhav1916 i dont think so cause that was years later. In this scene he was happy with a wife whos the love of his life and a family. Then at the end of the show its been years since his wife died and its time for him to move on and find another love of his life which is robin.
I’m guessing time. It did go on for a little while and when it’s airing on network television, they only get so minutes of show while allowing time for commercials. If HIMYM had been a Netflix show, it might have stayed in.
@@douglasrau5094 It's all because of the wedding. Why did they choose to show at at the end? I mean wedding at episode 15 would have been good and then we would have left with other important momemts
The cafe scene clearly showed that Ted was happy with Tracey and that he finally felt like he was where he was supposed to be and wasn't hoping that things were different like Robin
The way I interpret it, Tracy was the only one who could make Ted truly happy without thinking of Robin, and the lunch scene was important in proving so. Even though Robin was right there telling her how she felt and he perfectly knew how he used to feel for her, he knew he was happy and Robin accepted that. On top of that, there was also a funeral scene that was cut, which was also important for us to see that when Tracy died, Ted didn't see her as a distraction from getting back with Robin, but he mourned because he did really love her. And it took him 6 years to accept his own sadness over Tracy, ultimately realizing that there was no "The One" and that he would be with Robin in the end, fulfilling not only his happiness but also her own. And so he told his kids the story which pretty much served as him asking for their blessing. I don't think the Ted and Robin ending was bad at all, but it was poorly executed and was missing so many vital scenes which it why it divided the fanbase into two.
This!!! The problem of HIMYM ending wasn’t Ted and Robin together, throughout the hole show there are hints of it, the problem o HIMYM ending is purely poor screenwriting 20 EPISODES of a wedding that ends up in 5 min with the worst reason possible? Cmon, MY hope is that Robin has her redemption in HIMYF somehow, bc for most of the fans she is the villain of the show
I agree, I've just rewatched it and still like the ending, but I agree something about it feels rushed and cheap, but it's not because of the message and the story I think that is set up perfectly throughout season 9 and I thoroughly enjoyed rewatching the season. But yeah, something feels off, and I think these cut scenes alone could've made that feeling go away
@@danielclough7996 I suddenly wish they did a scene of how Tracy convinced Robin to attend hers and Ted's wedding. I feel like that would have been the puzzle piece we've all been looking for in S9.
“How did you and mommy meet?” “I’ll tell you later” 10 years later “Kids, I’m going to tell you an incredible story, the story of how I met your mother” “Why did I ask?”
I mean. In a way- Unfortunately. It's extremely realistic. I knew a couple when I was a teen. The guy was 16 and the girl was 19 [not in a creepy way, she was friends with everyone and was nice and in her place] Complete lovebirds, A total Romeo and Juliette story. Parents didn't want them together, so they dated in secret. Head over heels for eachother, he asked her to marry him when he turned 18. She accepted. Huge bachelor/bachelorette party. Magical Fairy tale wedding.Both got their parents blessings. From what we heard an amazing honeymoon and all. Yeah. They ended up getting a divorce 6 months later. The wedding planning lasted longer than their actual marriage and that's the sad disappointing truth in a lot of couples these days.
@@amirhassan7887 50% 😱 That's a lot. you know , I'm 29 male and all my friends are getting married one after another, I feel left out but at the same time I know it's a very bad investment.
I think that happened for the irony or for the foreshadowment. It could’ve also been to get the audience in on the marriage (since most viewers were probably iffy about them being a couple to begin with or still thought of Ted and Robin being perfect for each other). Which would make sense to the quick ending of their relationship because writers like to drown their audience in sadness. Leaving people upset about it not working out. But hey, at least Ted met the one there.
Damn I always thought the 5-dollar scene would have been a great addition to the finale. But I thought the producers might have forgotten about it, or it wouldn't have been a great way to end.
@@arnavchawathe8682 I'm going to pull a Ted on you and correct you ;) The bet was actually Lily's from the beginning, saying "Lily bets Marshall that Ted and Robin won't end up together" :-)
The pay-up scene with Marshall and Lilly and that scene means so much to me because of the way that Lilly looks at Marshall as she gives him the 5 ones, and how she smiles, it's so full of love.
Victoria was the one who saw it all thru:"You can't be friends with Robin." Even tho it's all fiction, I hope Victoria ended up with the right guy. Kevin also saw it clearly. He said something like "even tho everyone tells me it's a fire pit I'm walking in." refering to how close Ted and Robin were. But Robin was way out of his league, so he headed forward anyway.
this is so late, but imma be honest here. robin wasn't out of kevin's league, kevin was out of robin's league. kevin had a stable job and a smart head and wanted the relationship to work and tried his best to make it work. he made compromises to make sure robin was happy no matter the cost. himym is about a lovable, but ultimately disfunctional family of 5, robin included. kevin deserved bette
@@dokibunni Also saying that Robin was out of his league is so stupid because Kevin was a good looking dude. Or did the OP just say that cus, well, Indian guy dating white girl so he must be put down in some way.
they did say that they wanted to make the finale ep an hour long, but the network wouldnt allow any extra air time for them, hence why they had to rush n cramped everything into one ep.
That Lunch scene proves that even though Ted started dating Robin after Tracy Died, Ted will still love Tracy more. Because while he was with Tracy, he never thought of Robin in a romantic way the whole time. He does still have feelings for her. That is NEVER going away. But not in the same level as Tracy. As someone pointed out. Ted had to steal the blue horn as proof of him FORCING destiny to have him and robin be together. Him just finding Tracy's yellow umbrella and, unkowingly, giving it back to her, is destiny saying that Ted and Tracy are meant for each other.
@@brunocruzadomunoz6732 and yet it took him 6 years since his wige died, and the blessing of his kids(with in turn is a blessing from Tracy) to start dating Robin, or anyone, again.
@@brunocruzadomunoz6732 and how long has it been since Tracy died. There is a chance that they have had dinner recently. I mean LISTEN to their conversation in this deleted scene. WATCH their actions. How different it is. Ted shows barely any feelings for her until the last moment when she confested. The whole scene is about how Robin just embarrassed herself as she learns that Ted has moved on. UNTIL Tracy died and Ted decides to invite her in their dinner from time to time.
Kyra Clark oh yah I think they definitely should have kept that scene in because it also shows that robin has feelings cause that was always the problem with their relationship.
Everybody's talking about how they wish the lunch scene would've been included and I'm here trying not to gag because Robin is trying to make a move on her married friend, who has kids too. It only made me dislike her right now and would've made me feel even worse about them ending up together than I already did.
@@nemoswire But she's not really making a move...she's venting on how she feels, but is respectful nonetheless. And in any case, for ONCE, Ted's not interested, because he's just happy. He acts concerned as a friend, and she's cool enough to let it go once it's clear where he's at. I dunno, I liked this scene! A much needed bit of post-divorce/pre-tracy's death Robin.
I gave her a pass because she misunderstood him saying "how did we get here" as an indication he was unhappy and possibly wishing he was with her. Remember she wasn't really around much so she would have no idea about how his relationship was going.
2:40 is such an important scene that the finally needed. It seemed like Tracey was just a Robin substitute with how they did it. This scene showed how he actually moved on instead of how they poorly implied he had.
That scene was fun....i get why it was cut, but it's ok. I would NOT have cut out the restaurant scene. It was the ONLY time Ted faced Robin without a smidgen of a romantic feeling for her, truly being friends, because he really was happy with Tracy. It would have made the ending a MILLION times better. So he ends up with Robin after both achieved what they wanted, and he gets the kids' blessing (much like Tracy did to start dating again)...fine, but this way it doesn't feel like Tracy was just a distraction. Phenomenal, subtle acting from both in that scene.
Alyson Hannigan revealed in an interview that there was a funeral scene of the mother that was removed from the final cut. She said that the inclusion of that scene would have made a lot of sense in depicting the emotional state of Ted's mind when he lost the love of his life but also come to terms with that very love being survived by their two beautiful children which ultimately gives him hope to live on with this life. It took 6 years for him to move on.
Yeah but think from the makers' perspective. They always wanted the whole "the moment he met her and the whole serendipity about it" to be the final scene of the series. They'd have to place the funeral scene somewhere before that. For a viewer, to watch such a remorseful scene before they watch the ultimate ending scene would seriously mess with their expectations for the "meeting scene". They would have been too sad thinking about her funeral when we they see them meeting for the first time. I guess that's why they had to remove it.
yeah i remember hearing the funeral scene in the table read, im pissed that they took it out mainly because it showed the gang being there for ted after tracy's death. we saw 9 seasons of marshall, lily, barney, robin and ted getting closer and closer and being there for each other. we never got to see that come into play after tracy's death.
What I will never understand is why they thought it was a good idea to try to rush through all this stuff in the finale, after mostly wasting the last season on nonsense.
@@vittoriok4651 Because with the original ending we would have known why he felt comfortable pursuing his feelings having seen that Robin still holds a candle for him and not just bam... but I suppose it didn't fit with the pacing of the finale (being the wrap it up wrap it up)
@@rossgroepe3147 we knew Robin holds a candle for Ted anyways. Remember on the day of her wedding when she finds out about the locket, she tells Ted that he is the one she is supposed to end up with. Also in the first half of the finale, at the Halloween party, Robin tells Lily that the guy she is supposed to be with (Ted) is with the beautiful mother of his children.
@@omieg89 Yes. Robin did hold a candle for him. She was so sad and confused during the wedding weekend. I think she knew she was making a mistake, but had to try it anyway because of the circumstances and she thought she'd be compatible with Barney. But even Neil Patrick Harris said in an interview that you do not marry Barney. It turns out that Robin was Ted's "back-up". She always remained in his life and was there for him when Tracy passed. She remained a good friend. When you look at it, Ted was the best guy she dated. Don did not come close. And Barney got burnt out.
@@iwilleatyourmother it's like when you salute a soldier from the amy. If he's a major you say hi with the head and say "major". Like caporal. General (knowledge). Etc.
@@kevinvu5432 yeah id say about 80% of people agree i guarantee you it wouldve took some of the L of the bullshit death of tracy and at least finish why the relapse happened with ted and robin.
Okay, I am glad that they cut the 30/31 scene, but Jesus, they could have at least condensed and reset the lunch scene with Robin . This could have saved so much.
@@marvina.3923 Eehhhhh it just didn't really do much to propel the story along in any way. The finale was already to two part episode and they covered the Perfect Month storyline in other scenes. The 30/31 scene wouldn't really push anything along, but the Lunch Scene with Robin really filled out a whole other part of the plot that was kind of missing from them getting back together.
Say what you will about the finale, but I say none of these scenes should've been cut, and instead they should've made it a three part finale. All in favor?
Think about this for a second: - The series finale of Friends took a whole hour. (30 minutes if you separate them into 2 parts.) With all the threads in the story coming to a close, it had all the questions answered concluded with a fitting and satisfying ending. A perfect way to bow out the show - In HIMYM , the series finale took 44 minutes ( 22 minutes separated into 2 parts). It felt rushed as it went on. It was lacking substance and thought put into these episodes. I knew that this isn't what the show creators had in mind - they could've done more to carry on the narrative for it to have a proper send off. They couldnt just leave it like that. No wonder why this left a poor taste on the fan's mouths who spends time invested in the 9 years of its run. This clip proves that Carter Bays and Craig Thomas didnt do nothing wrong and this is no way their fault. Instead we should direct our anger and frustrations whoever at the network, the TV executives for deciding to cut these scenes out from the finale. These are some really, really, really CRUCIAL scenes that they decided to cut. Like at the diner scene with Ted and Robin, why didnt they leave that on the original cut? It would've unfolded everything, it reveals they still have their love for each other, and having Robin finally decided to settle down all these years. Even Alyson Hannigan ( Lily Aldrin) said that there was supposed to be a funeral scene for Tracy and that was ultimately cut off. WHAT THE FUCK??!!!! Why weren't we allowed to see that?!! Come on, man. This 6 minutes and 20 seconds of the video would've answered everyone's questions. Instead of the outrage and hate that this show didn't deserve. If they had included all the deleted scenes including the mother's funeral scene, it would've brought the finale to an hour. Which it truly deserved!!! This shows that the tv network/ execs. had no RESPECT for HIMYM. All that time and dedication to the craft. And they tarnished this show's legacy which could've been a legendary masterpiece, it would've been right up there with greats such as well- Friends, Seinfeld etc. But no, it became an afterthought years later after the show's demise. Deprived of its recognition and popularity to reach the status like Friends which is still showing in different channels as I speak. That's how popular Friends still is to the fanbase. When we should have been rewarded for being a long time viewer of the show, instead was the opposite: we were robbed People say ' yeah HIMYM is a ripoff of Friends yadi yadi yada, its Friends 2.0' But HIMYM stood out on its own for its unique premise. It had a motive. ( how did Ted Mosby meet the mother of his children?) It was a nice, whirlwind journey and I was glad to be apart of it but what a shame on how it ended. So underrated.
Joey didn’t have a good ending while everyone ended up happy in a relationship with kids (except phoebe) joey well he stayed single and then the disaster known as the show joey which is a spinoff to friends focused on joey’s acting career in Hollywood which had like 0 mentions of his past life and no cameos of the other 5 whatsoever failed to the ground tbh the ending of himym is good for me its realistic sometimes people die and you can do nothing about it and sometimes people get a divorce and 2 people are just meant to end up together against all odds like ted and robin after all these years
@@schwifty6401 haven't really thought of it like that. When you put it that way, that makes alot of sense because that's what life is all about really- it's not all peach and roses. I guess this helped me see the silver lining in all this And yeah that Joey spinoff SUCKED!!!! I forgot about that disaster
@@pebblechatsdross247 In reality you wouldn't let your boyfriend/girlfriend be friends with their ex, would you? This is ultimately toxic behaviour no one should have to endure. The ex is always there as an exit possibility, which means the partner isn't ready fo fully commit. Never forget Victoria's wise words from the series. I could not forget them. Bla bla wasn't that crazy afterall, haha! :D
@Fox Boy one because barney literally broke the bro code. 2. Barney literally just only wanted to sleep with robin and 3. If ted was his best friend HE WOULDN'T OF MARRIED ROBIN
@Fox Boy Robin did love ted. She asked lily why ted wasnt marrying her and besides who is the one person that robin trusts with her life oh wait its ted kaboom you just been lawyered
Robins gift to the gang at her wedding was so sweet. It should've stayed. Also the Ted/Robin scene should've stayed. The others were fun but I understand why they have been cut.
I think it's coz Tracy is shown looking for Ted in between the song and he isn't there. They never showed if Tracy was OK with the whole Robin thing when Ted started dating her, so they couldn't show that Tracy had noticed Ted was missing when Robin was singing.
Today i watched the last episode and cried the hell out of my self hiding from everyone . 😭 I just want to say to whoever reads my comment . There's no way i can come out of this . I know they all are fictional but they meant the world to me . I cannot thank enough to the writers and directors for giving me this master piece . This filled my hole in the heart that was left by FRIENDS end . ❤️
iif you noticed,in the finale before ted and tracy wedding, when tracy take their picture together at mclarens, after that lily also paid 5 bucks to marshall. :D
its kinda beautiful that before finding Ted, Tracy found her soul mate and he died. but then again she found Ted and then the same fate happened with Ted
Eh, Ted was a stranger to Tracy when they met, Robin was Ted's ex. It begs the question, did Ted really always love Robin when he was with Tracy, or did Ted just settle with Robin? I don't know, either way it feels gross.
@@DanielaxMarie there's nothing gross about a widow (who's been grieving for 6 years!!!) To go back out there and give one more shot with his unanswered question from his 20s/30s. The problem is that those 6 years of grief were represented by 4 minutes of screentime.
OH MY GOD I REMEMBER TED SAYING “AT OKE POINT YOUR AUNT ROBIN WAS A BULL FIGHTER. I’LL GET AROUND TO THAT.” BUT HE NEVER DID. THIS LITERALLY MAKES ME SO HAPPY.
2:36 oh Penny you have no idea how much you are gonna regret asking this question but at least you got yourself into it all by yourself,I feel bad for Luke,he wasn’t even there and was implicated too😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely no That would be so inappropriate to the mother. Imagine yourself finally finding the love of your life but your best friend (marshall) doesn't respect that, instead he bets and WANTS you to end up with your ex EVEN after the death of your love life. How does that feel
@@Stilldontknow12 not its really not. There's a huge difference between wanting something to happen and knowing that there's a good chance that something is gonna happen. If you asked me to bet on who was gonna win the presidency in 2016, I wouldve said Hillary, but it doesn't change the fact that I hate her guts. I still voted for Jill Stein even though I knew that she didnt have a chance.
one little detail, robin always says they’re the first friends she made in new york even tho in the first episode she had four girl friends which one of them just broke up thats why she threw the drink at ted
@@Solo-ud5ov maybe it would make sense if they came with her from Canada and then left but honestly it would be better to specify that because to me it still seems like they just forgot all about that, they made that scene and it seemed like they were new friends she made when she moved, I don't think they had finished writing her back story because these friends just don't stick anywhere with the plot you know what I mean? idk just my opinion I've always been confused about that detail 🤔
Maybe she made 'friends' with them like you make friends with people for night you so often do when you go out for drinks. But probably she just met them 1 to 5 times.
I don't think that Robin and Ted were perfect for each other, they weren't. Tracy was. And she and Ted had a wonderful life time together, and than she dead, and after years... Robin and Ted had the time factor, and the chemistry, and than... That happened. It was cruel? Yeas, we all wanted more of Tracy. I hate that the 9 season is alllllll about the wedding of Robin and Barney. And they get divorce. It's cruel, but it's life also.
It was cruel what they did to Robin too, especially at the end, but on other occasions as well I think. In reality women can make it work to have husbands/families even if they have to work abroad. I had the feeling they punished the "career woman" for her choice how to live life in the series. She got to be the saddest character even though Barney was the most fucked up of all. And I think building a family really was just plan b for Lilly. She was too big a coward to really try for her dreams. But I guess many people have that plan b, that's just the way it is.
I think the mother already died. I think it is stated in the series that the mother died when the son was born. Not exactly on birth, but maybe a little bit over that. And the fact that ted is walking his daughter and picking them up from school, it is kind of a hint that the mother is already gone.
You know what, even if the Mother was already dead I think the way Robin was talking was still super disrespectful. Basically suggesting that they both wish the last 10 or so years hadn't happened I.e. erasing his life with the Mother. Yuck.
@@jaycievictory8461 agree completely. It's disgusting. The fact he was even in contact with Robin while he was with her speaks volumes. How many women would want their husband hanging out with someone they shared so much history with? I reckon he lied to her
Just finished with the show. Seriously, that scene with Robin in the cafe, THAT would have been the best place to end it. The mom was ill, so he told the kids the story of how he met her b/c he wasn't sure if she was going to pull through. So they build some tension around that in the last episodes, but she lives. The story about him and Robin ends up becoming a good lesson about letting go of the past. Then Robin and Ted meet up and have this heart to heart. It's happy for Ted, it's bittersweet for Robin, and we get a finale to the story that began with them that doesn't make the mother a useless plot device. This is all still fresh for me, so I'm still stewing.
Out of all the purely negative "oh they ruined this character" or just empty opinions like" I liked the mom she was pretty" this is the comment I agree with the most. The show has always been about life lessons and I think this would have been the perfect mix between the happily ever after and the tragic death, where everything comes full circle in a bittersweet kind of way as you put it with ted saying no to robin at the end. The woman he had chased after so many times and could never let go of while thinking that she was the happiness that he seeked in his life until he met tracy, his true soulmate.
I still dont mind Ted gettting back with Robin after Tracy dies. The execution of this idea sucks in the show, but it doesnt mean the idea itself is bad. All we needed to see is how Ted is broken after losing Tracy and thinking that he shouldnt get together with someone else, out of respect for Tracy. Then the message would be that you can love more than 1 person in your life. Sure, the moving on way that u presented could work too, but I dont think the idea of the writers is bad. What was bad is how they treated Barney, that was a complete character regression.
I really like your idea... I would like to add to it with an idea I had... Ted and Robin leave the restaurant after their heart to heart, as Ted goes off to meet his wife and pick up his kids, we get the "Major problems" moment. As Ted walks off, Robin walks off looking back at him... not looking where she's going she bumps into a man's back and he drops everything he's carrying (his face is not shown). She apologizes as she tearfully helps him pick up his things. Amongst the things she picks up is a picture of her with the man... she pauses stunned... she looks up and the man is revealed to be... Don (its the picture they took together when they did the show with the puppets). They talk for a moment and Don reveals he's just moved back to NY and is starting a new network job tomorrow (and that's why he was carrying the box of belongings) and he's on the way to put them in his new office. Robin asks "What network?" and Don says "Metro News 1". She says "You're going back?" He says "I always felt like there was something missing... something I needed to finish". They smile and stare at each other as they begin to walk off, talking. Then we hear Ted's (narrative) voice as he tells his kids the lessons he learned about destiny and patience and timing (as the camera cuts to them listening to him talk). How with Robin and Don it was destiny mixed with patience and timing. And before he can launch off into another long lecture to the kids, we hear Tracy's (his wife's) voice saying if he keeps talking the kids ears off, they're going to be late for Don and Robin's wedding. Ted continues to finish his thoughts about destiny, patience and timing... We briefly flashback to The Farhampton station when Ted and Tracy met and hear a little of their conversation. They have their discussion about the story of the umbrella. Ted tells her he used to believe in destiny... he still kind of does... but he feels more that life is about patience and... Tracy interrupts and finishes with "Timing..." Then we get those final words. "Destiny, Patience and Timing... And that kids... is How I Met Your Mother... The theme music for the closing credits plays and in the background we see photos from the wedding which include pictures of Robin and Don cutting the cake, Ted and Tracy laughing, Lily and Marshall dancing, Barney smiling dancing with his daughter and ending with one final picture of Robin in her wedding dress with Ted, Marshalll, Lily and Barney. The End
@@MDAce150 I mean.... damn. yes. Nobody would have been unhappy with this ending. Good job. Also on a semi-unrelated note I just finished Mr Robot and I haven't been able to stop thinking about the ending for 2 days straight. THAT is an ending.
I just finished a couple of minutes ago as well. I’m just going to consider this canon because it makes so much more sense and is way more pleasing. I just can’t bare with the original ending it makes me sad and frustrated. So thank you!
I was so p*ssed that they didn't show more of these schmosby moments in the final season if it really had to end the way it did. Like why tf would you delete these precious moments anyway.....
This scene improves Ted. Shows that he was truly happy and did not merely "settle" for the mother. But it does make Robin look a bit lame to be honest.
@@aimanhaikal1327 Marshall bet Lily that Ted and Robin would end up together, which they do eventually years after Tracy dies. Would've been a funny outro but then they couldn't end with the Blue French horn
@@memento5113 No. The idea could stay, but they executed it so poorly. Mostly because the finale is rushed, you cant set up a wedding for 20 episodes, only to have them divorced in the next one.
@@memento5113 What is the point of your comment? I love the show, but at least I see the huge flaws it had near the end. The set ups were there, but the final season structure was plainly horrible. Rushed and even disrespectful to some of the characters. So no, the finale was far from perfect. The idea was great, there have been plenty of set ups why Ted would end up with Robin, why Tracy dies, etc. But the way they handled Robin and Barney relationship was too complicated for its own good.
doudo123456 in the military you have rankings like major so when one of them says something like “major problems” or “major waste of time” they salute like they are in the military and the persons last name is whatever comes after major
I meant that is a comedy show, a funeral of a important character would be very sad (but because is a main character, I know that funerals of secondary characters happened, like in that Super Bowl episode, but that had a comic perspective); Nevertheless, I would like to see that too, lol, maybe the closure with the mother would be more real
Why tf am I watching these deleted scenes NOW!? Omg! That last scene with Ted and Robin when she said “mayor problem” i was omfg are they gonna say it!? And they did! So pleasing!
Tracy fans need to understand about Ted showing the four loves to Robin that Tracy never received. (1) Ted did a rain dance to make it rain so Robin wouldn’t go on that corporate trip. (2) Ted dumped Victoria (which in my opinion was way better than Tracy) because he could not be away from Robin. (3) Ted gives away Robin to Barney because he wants the best for her despite his feelings for her. (4) Ted flys to LA to retrieve Robins locket and even dives into the lake to find it after thrown in their by his ex girlfriend. (5) Ted in the pilot episode says I’ll be marrying that girl someday. Barney did not show his unconditional love to Robin the way Ted showed it to Robin.
True, it was all too much. He was a big fool running after that woman. You don't need to put out a show every freakin' time, if the woman wants you back. Ted fell for an illusion that was only in his head. And only that kept him single for all this time.
ending by the result of bet between lily and marshall is the perfect ending for how i met your aunt robin.. oh wait....what was the name of the show again?
I don’t think so... Ted says “I got to pick up the kids”, so both scenes (the lunch and the other one with Marshall and Lilly) are betwen when they met each other on the street with Ted’s daughter, and the blue horn one. Also, if u remember, on the blue horn scene Robbin is at the window with her five dogs beside her, so Ted see those dogs. The lines of the lunch scene wouldn’t make sense anymore. The blue horn scene is still the last one, time after of the other ones. Pd: I'm not a native speaker, sorry for my English ‘:)
@@kurawini Because it could not have happened before the blue horn scene. It has got to be the final one, without a doubt. They wouldn't get together immediately after that scene because he said that he had to pickup the kids. If he picks up the kids, they got to be really young. Don't forget that they were almost adult teenagers when they influenced Ted to get the blue French horn.
The fact that Barney and Robin were perfectly fitting as a couple, then getting divorced and then having a sequence were a woman can’t be happy with just her career without kids or husband and had to had been proven wrong is so devastatingly awful. If you’re girl watching this, let nobody tell you you can’t be happy being a successful business woman without kids and husband and in the end you will regret it. Robin was probably my favorite character, but they did her so dirty. Let’s all just be thankful that there are characters like Christina Yang.
I do not think they are depicting this. Robin was happy as a successful woman. Her relationship with Barney was a tumultuous one. This was depicted well with their many fights, the insecurities of each and the fact that he had to sort of play her. These foreshadowed the demise of their relationship. Barney was burnt out being with her. They are mostly showing how sad she is in her realization that Ted was the one and she has lost him here and her heartfelt apology to him. She admits her mistake. Though she is insanely happy professionally, now that she is ready to commit to someone truly, he is not available and they just have this distant friendship because they cannot have anything else.
Whole episode of Carl talking to the police. "how I met the gang" and it's a whole episode around him meeting them and then it leading to them trashing the bar.
Tracy was great.... It was such a cop out Robin and Ted.... I think they really wanted to get to their end goal but didn't think about the fact that sometimes relationships evolve....
As Ted's children suggested, the whole premise behind How I Met Your Mother is the telling of the ever-lasting love between Ted and Robin. Hell, even the first episode of the first season shows Ted falling in love with Robin.... So, despite Tracy being the best fit for Ted, Robin and Ted were destined/designed to get together since the shows inception
Older Ted and Robin scenes are garbage... I demand porch scene with Robin and Barney together and Ted and Tracy sitting on Lily and Marshalls porch in the fifties.
C'mon people we all knew Ted and Robin were always meant to be together in the show. Otherwise why would they give so much emphasis of Ted's feelings for her all through the show. And if his wife was alive,why wud he spend days and weeks telling abt the story of how he met their mother to his kids? It was imaginable that she was no more. Do u know when we could have imagined the ending?The episode where Marshal and Lily made bet on Ted abd Robin. In the last scene, Marshal still said NOT YET. That's when the ending was clear. And here he finally got his money after he won the bet. If they had changed the name of the show to something else,and just made it a simple show with a simple name,no storytelling,no past future,u would'v easily understood the finale. Bt the title of the show confused you all. Like Ross and Rachel end up together, obviously Ted and Robin too! They were lobsters ❤️
If only the finale was longer... if only they have included all this scenes... they finale will be a little bit less disappointing. In particular, the scene in which Robin tells Barney that she was about to run away (giving the audience a little idea of future arguments beteeen them AND the sudden and totally unexpected divorce), and the luch scene between Robin and Ted.. it showed that he was REALLY happy, that what they did wasn't rushed. I know that 6 years is a long time and I am cool with them together, I just think this will have make everything has more sense...more scenes of him dealing with his wife's dead, may be Robin being there for him... you know? Also, Marshall winning his five bucks is hilarious 😂
I like this scene - they both portray to estranged friends very well. - theres still friendship there but you have a tendency to talk like youre talking to a stanger
Ok WTF!!!! Why in the world would they cut out the lunch scene. Oh! Wait! Although it was very much needed for the storyline, they wanted their *shocking* ending and they got it, cuz they cut this out. That scene would have alluded that Ted and Robin weren't done. But those last 5 to 10 minutes...
I feels more like they took it out, because that scene makes Robin feel like a villain. She's hoping Ted would cheat on his Tracy. And Clearly Ted did not share her feelings. And loved Tracy 100% But respected her and their relationship enough to kindly decline her. And the ending was not at all shocking. The moment Tracy said "what kind of mother, doesn't go to her own daughter's wedding?" and Ted starts to cry. As well as the new year scene. They pretty much spell it out for you. The show is known for subtle forshadowings. It's what made the show so great, especially when you rewatch it and see the connections.
@@UsonoHoushi can you explain the “what kind of mother doesn’t go to her own daughter’s wedding” and how it foreshadowed anything? Also which new year scene are you alluding to and how does it foreshadow?
@@AN-filmandmusic Their reactions AFTER the fact. Tis called VISUAL story telling. And obviously the new year where Tracy had a hangover. Long version: After Tracy says the line, Ted gives her a look. And once they meet eyes he starts to cry, which has her crying while comforting him. Then goes on to trying to change the subject. It's a show don't tell moment. With new year, Ted explained within the story that everytime they all had those hangovers it was when they were all at their most miserable. And the drink was a way for Barney to comforting them. The last scene is seen Tracy having a hang over. And Ted giving her the drink. Very subtle story telling.
This is one of those occasions where the story did not get enough time to explain itself and transition from one revelation to the next. HIMYM finale was rushed and many things were learned in one single episode. They knew ahead of time how long they would have though so I believe they should have used the last season to expand and transition all these finals revelations rather than shoving it into the last final episode. The fact that the entire season resolved around Robin & Barney’s wedding just to be told in the final episode that Robin and Barney divorced just a few years later and the entire season is in many ways a waste of time for the overall story. And how sad is that!? An entire season was used as filler, time killer when they had so much more to tell!! I don’t understand why the creators and writers did this when they had so much to work from and it was the final wrap up. It’s like they said screw all of season 9, besides the final 2 episodes. We’ll put all our creative power to these 2 final episodes and throw tons of news and twists and surprises and disappointments, and just have the wedding spread out across the rest of the season and advance almost nothing. I just don’t get it but I do believe the final script could have worked and been accepted much better had it not came as a series of random revelations and forced/rushed twists. The mother had to die at the end, absolutely no doubt. The series had already hinted towards that to many times over the years and it only brings more reason and power to the story of how dad met mom… So that is clear. It had to happen. And I’m okay with that and believe many others are too. Many feel cheated that it was Robin who ended up with Ted in the end because of various reasons but basically because they felt lied too and cheated but again, it only makes sense. As the children mentioned at the end, who’s story was this truly ? It was Robin! All about Ted and Robin. So it makes sense that daddy kept talking mostly about Robin more than anyone else, including the mother, because it was the story of how he met Robin, and was it not?...... Momma died, Ted & Robin finally come full circle later in life after years of on and off relationship, failed marriages, widowed and basically a realization that they were destined for each other in the end. It was all about Robin. So it makes sense they come together in the end. But the problem was the rushed transitions of facts. Again, had they better organized the ending and spread it across the season rather than a wedding, that in actuality, was nothing more than a faded mistake in the memories of all. So that was pretty bad to use the entire final season to tell a story that really actually ended up not meaning anything at all in the end. Barney reverted to his old ways after receiving the biggest character growth in the show over the last season or 2. So that felt rushed and unexpected and just flat out disappointing. So basically, I’m just trying to say that all these final revaluations ended on a sour note only because they came as surprises and rushed and an entire season got flushed in the process. Still a great series. One of the absolute best.
It’s not just the final season that’s a waste. Everything from season 6 to 9 is all about how Barney and Robin end up together. They need to get together in order for Ted to meet Tracy.
Robin kind of took Ted for granted those early years. She was focused on other things when love came but knew she could rely on him. It was not until she lost him completely when she was in the position to actually be in a relationship where she was not traveling that caused her to introspect and felt the need to express this to him, even though he was happy somewhere else, leading the life he always imagined. Ted is the hero in the sense that he got to experience two great loves, and even Victoria, who most in his shoes would have gone on to marry, although there were those two aspects of her knowing about Robin and the sense that she is close to but not exactly the one, or at least "one of the ones", because, as they show depicts, there are more of them out there.
Honestly, I love the ending! Of course, the Cafe scene would have made a huge difference and I would love the ending even more. It gives a sense of reality and how bittersweet life can be and for those of you who don't know, the writers had been giving hints of how the show would end since Season 1. The biggest hint to me was the fact that Ted and Tracy's favorite book is Love In The Time of Cholera which tells a story of two lovers that are together in the beginning, then break up, the woman marries another man, the man eventually dies and she and her former lover come together again at the end, besides, the characters have a lot of similiarities too.
for real if they had included the scene where robin confesses that she's not all that happy despite being successful and that she still has feelings for ted after all those years then i probably would have coped with the ending better. the main reason why i despised the finale so much was because it felt like ted hadn't actually moved on from robin even after getting married to tracy. but in that scene, he says he's happy with how his life is after ending up with tracy. that scene would have given the ending some justice and us fans some peace of mind.
“How’d you and mommy meet”.
“I’ll tell you later”.
That is my favourite joke
Me too lmao
omg the daughter is gonna regret this so hard😂😂😂
U just won the internet

Ted be like: "I first need to tell you the story about every building in New York City."
why tf would they delete that part where robin sings lets go to the mall on her wedding?
It would have killed the story of Ted having to leave right away to catch the train. Those good byes out on the patio were heart wrenching. Having Robin's deleted scene would have upset that.
paladine6 I get that and i adore the goodbye scene but wouldn't have been kind of cool if it were like "if robin hadn't gone up there I would have caught my train, and never have met your mother" idk it just seems like it could have worked

@@starkiller7278 Goodness 😂😂😂
@@deathking1019 ofc he’d do that tho.
Years later, he isn’t happy anymore. The love of his life and the mother of his children had passed away.
The show ended way too abruptly. It needed between 5 and 10 more episodes to round up all the stories. We barely got to know Tracy, there was no time in between Barney and Robin getting married and splitting up, we didn't see Marshall and Lily's kids grow up even a little bit, Ted found Tracy and in no time she was dead, we didn't see the interaction between Ted's kids and Robin, or who Barney got pregnant. All that could've been told in just a few episodes.
I agree so and so. The show is "how I met your mother" I honestly would've liked it if instead they just showed random ass pictures of everyone happy with finished stories and wedding pics with tracy instead. The dining was so mid with her dying and what not.
@@cholkymilkmirage4984 that would have been a good option too. It'd be open enough for a future reboot or a spinoff of the show.
for real, I mean they could also have just cut some of the episodes since many of them felt like filler
5-10 more episodes is crazy ! Maximum i would say is like 2. Thats wild
To be honest a lot of that just didn’t feel like series finale stuff. Like they basically opened the biggest can of worms and suddenly none of the characters plots were resolved. Before season 9 it kinda seemed like everything would be resolved but it just wasn’t and it’s super weird to me that they did it that way
Why in the universe, did they decided to cut these scenes off???
Just wish I could see a bit more of their lives after that wedding.

exactly. the whole episode was rushed, never minded the mother death or robin/ted untied, but it was rushed
Agreed
Murtaza Rizvi it wasn’t rushed, it was planned since the start of himym.
Unless you mean the number of episodes on the wedding felt was too much and it overstayed its welcome, which could have been focused on other elements, then you would be correct.
But the ending was not rushed, just poorly handled...
I agree
@@murtazarizvi368 The whole last 2 or 3 seasons were extremely slow and then all of sudden rushed. It was an awful dynamic. They spent more time talking about Ted and Victoria getting back together & being back together, than they ever did talk about Ted & The Mother getting together & being together. There was too much filler when they could've done more. If you watch the whole show, you get the full story but when you watch it all the way through, it's agonizing to weed through all the filler to get the whole story.
The network wouldn't allow 6 extra minutes of the last ever episode of a decade running show? Wtf

THAT LUNCH WITH ROBIN WAS SO IMPORTANT WHY DID THEY CUT THAT
Also in the episode where Ted just wanted Robin to be happy he said he would tell them about the bull story
Things would have been easier to digest for us with the ending if they didn't cut that lunch part.
I’m guessing time. It did go on for a little while and when it’s airing on network television, they only get so minutes of show while allowing time for commercials. If HIMYM had been a Netflix show, it might have stayed in.
@@douglasrau5094 It's all because of the wedding. Why did they choose to show at at the end? I mean wedding at episode 15 would have been good and then we would have left with other important momemts
Ikr!!!!
The cafe scene clearly showed that Ted was happy with Tracey and that he finally felt like he was where he was supposed to be and wasn't hoping that things were different like Robin
Правильно, поэтому сучка должна страдать. С чего это вдруг Тед снова достался ей? Тед должен быть с Трейси навсегда!
The way I interpret it, Tracy was the only one who could make Ted truly happy without thinking of Robin, and the lunch scene was important in proving so. Even though Robin was right there telling her how she felt and he perfectly knew how he used to feel for her, he knew he was happy and Robin accepted that. On top of that, there was also a funeral scene that was cut, which was also important for us to see that when Tracy died, Ted didn't see her as a distraction from getting back with Robin, but he mourned because he did really love her. And it took him 6 years to accept his own sadness over Tracy, ultimately realizing that there was no "The One" and that he would be with Robin in the end, fulfilling not only his happiness but also her own. And so he told his kids the story which pretty much served as him asking for their blessing.
I don't think the Ted and Robin ending was bad at all, but it was poorly executed and was missing so many vital scenes which it why it divided the fanbase into two.
This!!! The problem of HIMYM ending wasn’t Ted and Robin together, throughout the hole show there are hints of it, the problem o HIMYM ending is purely poor screenwriting 20 EPISODES of a wedding that ends up in 5 min with the worst reason possible? Cmon, MY hope is that Robin has her redemption in HIMYF somehow, bc for most of the fans she is the villain of the show
I agree, I've just rewatched it and still like the ending, but I agree something about it feels rushed and cheap, but it's not because of the message and the story I think that is set up perfectly throughout season 9 and I thoroughly enjoyed rewatching the season. But yeah, something feels off, and I think these cut scenes alone could've made that feeling go away
Agree wholeheartedly, he still needed the kids' blessing, and 50 is the new 40, right? Also Marshall's song is legen-wait for it-dary

@@saidel8565 correction : 50% of marriage *in america* end with a divorce.
I think that happened for the irony or for the foreshadowment. It could’ve also been to get the audience in on the marriage (since most viewers were probably iffy about them being a couple to begin with or still thought of Ted and Robin being perfect for each other). Which would make sense to the quick ending of their relationship because writers like to drown their audience in sadness. Leaving people upset about it not working out. But hey, at least Ted met the one there.
Damn I always thought the 5-dollar scene would have been a great addition to the finale. But I thought the producers might have forgotten about it, or it wouldn't have been a great way to end.

@@arnavchawathe8682 I'm going to pull a Ted on you and correct you ;)
The bet was actually Lily's from the beginning, saying "Lily bets Marshall that Ted and Robin won't end up together" :-)
hannah also, at Ted and Tracy’s pre-wedding moment at McLaren’s, after Tracy takes the picture, Marshall pays Lily her 5$
The pay-up scene with Marshall and Lilly and that scene means so much to me because of the way that Lilly looks at Marshall as she gives him the 5 ones, and how she smiles, it's so full of love.
"sweet sweet five bucks you're finally mine even though Lily and I share a bank account so you are already mine to begin with" 😆
Victoria was the one who saw it all thru:"You can't be friends with Robin." Even tho it's all fiction, I hope Victoria ended up with the right guy.
Kevin also saw it clearly. He said something like "even tho everyone tells me it's a fire pit I'm walking in." refering to how close Ted and Robin were. But Robin was way out of his league, so he headed forward anyway.
True but Kevin had one of the worst love choices in the series barring any of Ted's relationships
right like they showed the future of characters that werent nearly as important but they didnt show what happened with victoria?
this is so late, but imma be honest here. robin wasn't out of kevin's league, kevin was out of robin's league. kevin had a stable job and a smart head and wanted the relationship to work and tried his best to make it work. he made compromises to make sure robin was happy no matter the cost. himym is about a lovable, but ultimately disfunctional family of 5, robin included. kevin deserved bette

Maaaaan! 1h episode wouldn’t be needed if they didn’t spend 20 episodes in the wedding come on that’s what fucked the end off
That Lunch scene proves that even though Ted started dating Robin after Tracy Died, Ted will still love Tracy more. Because while he was with Tracy, he never thought of Robin in a romantic way the whole time.
He does still have feelings for her. That is NEVER going away. But not in the same level as Tracy.
As someone pointed out. Ted had to steal the blue horn as proof of him FORCING destiny to have him and robin be together.

@@nemoswire But she's not really making a move...she's venting on how she feels, but is respectful nonetheless. And in any case, for ONCE, Ted's not interested, because he's just happy. He acts concerned as a friend, and she's cool enough to let it go once it's clear where he's at. I dunno, I liked this scene! A much needed bit of post-divorce/pre-tracy's death Robin.
I gave her a pass because she misunderstood him saying "how did we get here" as an indication he was unhappy and possibly wishing he was with her. Remember she wasn't really around much so she would have no idea about how his relationship was going.
actually that scene is after the kids have grown up u know, i mean after 6 years of tracy not being alive.

That scene was fun....i get why it was cut, but it's ok. I would NOT have cut out the restaurant scene. It was the ONLY time Ted faced Robin without a smidgen of a romantic feeling for her, truly being friends, because he really was happy with Tracy. It would have made the ending a MILLION times better. So he ends up with Robin after both achieved what they wanted, and he gets the kids' blessing (much like Tracy did to start dating again)...fine, but this way it doesn't feel like Tracy was just a distraction. Phenomenal, subtle acting from both in that scene.
Alyson Hannigan revealed in an interview that there was a funeral scene of the mother that was removed from the final cut. She said that the inclusion of that scene would have made a lot of sense in depicting the emotional state of Ted's mind when he lost the love of his life but also come to terms with that very love being survived by their two beautiful children which ultimately gives him hope to live on with this life. It took 6 years for him to move on.
Yeah but think from the makers' perspective. They always wanted the whole "the moment he met her and the whole serendipity about it" to be the final scene of the series. They'd have to place the funeral scene somewhere before that. For a viewer, to watch such a remorseful scene before they watch the ultimate ending scene would seriously mess with their expectations for the "meeting scene". They would have been too sad thinking about her funeral when we they see them meeting for the first time. I guess that's why they had to remove it.
yeah i remember hearing the funeral scene in the table read, im pissed that they took it out mainly because it showed the gang being there for ted after tracy's death. we saw 9 seasons of marshall, lily, barney, robin and ted getting closer and closer and being there for each other. we never got to see that come into play after tracy's death.
6 years is actually about average. Most people who are going to move on remarry around the 7 year mark
What I will never understand is why they thought it was a good idea to try to rush through all this stuff in the finale, after mostly wasting the last season on nonsense.

@@vittoriok4651 Because with the original ending we would have known why he felt comfortable pursuing his feelings having seen that Robin still holds a candle for him and not just bam... but I suppose it didn't fit with the pacing of the finale (being the wrap it up wrap it up)
@@rossgroepe3147 we knew Robin holds a candle for Ted anyways. Remember on the day of her wedding when she finds out about the locket, she tells Ted that he is the one she is supposed to end up with. Also in the first half of the finale, at the Halloween party, Robin tells Lily that the guy she is supposed to be with (Ted) is with the beautiful mother of his children.
@@omieg89 Yes. Robin did hold a candle for him. She was so sad and confused during the wedding weekend. I think she knew she was making a mistake, but had to try it anyway because of the circumstances and she thought she'd be compatible with Barney. But even Neil Patrick Harris said in an interview that you do not marry Barney. It turns out that Robin was Ted's "back-up". She always remained in his life and was there for him when Tracy passed. She remained a good friend. When you look at it, Ted was the best guy she dated. Don did not come close. And Barney got burnt out.

There's never a deleted scene we didn't want in the show but these deleted scenes definitely did not need to be deleted and should have stayed on
The how did we end up here scene would've made the ending far more barable
Time show limit...

With TV is tricky because you have a set runtime. They probably didn’t want to have to cut them but
Okay, I am glad that they cut the 30/31 scene, but Jesus, they could have at least condensed and reset the lunch scene with Robin . This could have saved so much.
Would've made the ending far better
whats wrong with the 30/31 scene
@@marvina.3923 Eehhhhh it just didn't really do much to propel the story along in any way. The finale was already to two part episode and they covered the Perfect Month storyline in other scenes. The 30/31 scene wouldn't really push anything along, but the Lunch Scene with Robin really filled out a whole other part of the plot that was kind of missing from them getting back together.
@@DwindleDwellandDwarf but we saw mother 31
Even with this scene I’m still pissed about the ending. They spent an entire season on the wedding and then they get a fucking divorce.
Say what you will about the finale, but I say none of these scenes should've been cut, and instead they should've made it a three part finale. All in favor?
COMPLETELY in favour
Think about this for a second:
- The series finale of Friends took a whole hour. (30 minutes if you separate them into 2 parts.) With all the threads in the story coming to a close, it had all the questions answered concluded with a fitting and satisfying ending.
A perfect way to bow out the show
- In HIMYM , the series finale took 44 minutes ( 22 minutes separated into 2 parts).
It felt rushed as it went on. It was lacking substance and thought put into these episodes. I knew that this isn't what the show creators had in mind - they could've done more to carry on the narrative for it to have a proper send off. They couldnt just leave it like that. No wonder why this left a poor taste on the fan's mouths who spends time invested in the 9 years of its run.
This clip proves that Carter Bays and Craig Thomas didnt do nothing wrong and this is no way their fault.
Instead we should direct our anger and frustrations whoever at the network, the TV executives for deciding to cut these scenes out from the finale.
These are some really, really, really CRUCIAL scenes that they decided to cut.
Like at the diner scene with Ted and Robin, why didnt they leave that on the original cut? It would've unfolded everything, it reveals they still have their love for each other, and having Robin finally decided to settle down all these years. Even Alyson Hannigan ( Lily Aldrin) said that there was supposed to be a funeral scene for Tracy and that was ultimately cut off.
WHAT THE FUCK??!!!! Why weren't we allowed to see that?!!
Come on, man. This 6 minutes and 20 seconds of the video would've answered everyone's questions. Instead of the outrage and hate that this show didn't deserve.
If they had included all the deleted scenes including the mother's funeral scene, it would've brought the finale to an hour. Which it truly deserved!!!
This shows that the tv network/ execs. had no RESPECT for HIMYM. All that time and dedication to the craft. And they tarnished this show's legacy which could've been a legendary masterpiece, it would've been right up there with greats such as well- Friends, Seinfeld etc.
But no, it became an afterthought years later after the show's demise. Deprived of its recognition and popularity to reach the status like Friends which is still showing in different channels as I speak. That's how popular Friends still is to the fanbase.
When we should have been rewarded for being a long time viewer of the show, instead was the opposite: we were robbed
People say ' yeah HIMYM is a ripoff of Friends yadi yadi yada, its Friends 2.0'
But HIMYM stood out on its own for its unique premise. It had a motive. ( how did Ted Mosby meet the mother of his children?)
It was a nice, whirlwind journey and I was glad to be apart of it but what a shame on how it ended. So underrated.
Joey didn’t have a good ending while everyone ended up happy in a relationship with kids (except phoebe) joey well he stayed single and then the disaster known as the show joey which is a spinoff to friends focused on joey’s acting career in Hollywood which had like 0 mentions of his past life and no cameos of the other 5 whatsoever failed to the ground tbh the ending of himym is good for me its realistic sometimes people die and you can do nothing about it and sometimes people get a divorce and 2 people are just meant to end up together against all odds like ted and robin after all these years
@@schwifty6401 haven't really thought of it like that. When you put it that way, that makes alot of sense because that's what life is all about really- it's not all peach and roses. I guess this helped me see the silver lining in all this
And yeah that Joey spinoff SUCKED!!!! I forgot about that disaster
@@pebblechatsdross247 In reality you wouldn't let your boyfriend/girlfriend be friends with their ex, would you? This is ultimately toxic behaviour no one should have to endure. The ex is always there as an exit possibility, which means the partner isn't ready fo fully commit. Never forget Victoria's wise words from the series. I could not forget them. Bla bla wasn't that crazy afterall, haha! :D
Friends never made me feel like this show did.
they never addressed how BARNEY feels about his best friend dating his ex wife. AGAIN. god the ending sucked.
Well he fell for her and dated her at first so
Barney actually stole robin and your ok with that
@Fox Boy swarkles is trash sooooooo
@Fox Boy one because barney literally broke the bro code. 2. Barney literally just only wanted to sleep with robin and 3. If ted was his best friend HE WOULDN'T OF MARRIED ROBIN
@Fox Boy Robin did love ted. She asked lily why ted wasnt marrying her and besides who is the one person that robin trusts with her life oh wait its ted kaboom you just been lawyered
Robins gift to the gang at her wedding was so sweet. It should've stayed. Also the Ted/Robin scene should've stayed. The others were fun but I understand why they have been cut.
I guess it was too sad
The end where Lily paid Marshall $5 should’ve stayed or a post credit scene
I think it's coz Tracy is shown looking for Ted in between the song and he isn't there. They never showed if Tracy was OK with the whole Robin thing when Ted started dating her, so they couldn't show that Tracy had noticed Ted was missing when Robin was singing.
These scenes add up so much. Why would they be deleted....

its kinda beautiful that before finding Ted, Tracy found her soul mate and he died.
but then again she found Ted and then the same fate happened with Ted
crazy as people assumed back then it was foreshadowing to something happening with ted and Tracy and boom
Eh, Ted was a stranger to Tracy when they met, Robin was Ted's ex. It begs the question, did Ted really always love Robin when he was with Tracy, or did Ted just settle with Robin? I don't know, either way it feels gross.
@@DanielaxMarie there's nothing gross about a widow (who's been grieving for 6 years!!!) To go back out there and give one more shot with his unanswered question from his 20s/30s. The problem is that those 6 years of grief were represented by 4 minutes of screentime.

They definitely should have included the Marshall and Lily "pay up" scene.
Absolutely no
That would be so inappropriate to the mother.

one little detail, robin always says they’re the first friends she made in new york even tho in the first episode she had four girl friends which one of them just broke up thats why she threw the drink at ted
omg thank u for making me feel not alone i have been thinking this for kinda long time
It was retconned
Gud point But
What if those are Canada friends?
@@Solo-ud5ov maybe it would make sense if they came with her from Canada and then left but honestly it would be better to specify that because to me it still seems like they just forgot all about that, they made that scene and it seemed like they were new friends she made when she moved, I don't think they had finished writing her back story because these friends just don't stick anywhere with the plot you know what I mean? idk just my opinion I've always been confused about that detail 🤔
Maybe she made 'friends' with them like you make friends with people for night you so often do when you go out for drinks. But probably she just met them 1 to 5 times.
Finally got to see the mother of barney's daughter.
wait…. i wonder if it was actually her
I don't think that Robin and Ted were perfect for each other, they weren't. Tracy was. And she and Ted had a wonderful life time together, and than she dead, and after years... Robin and Ted had the time factor, and the chemistry, and than... That happened.
It was cruel? Yeas, we all wanted more of Tracy. I hate that the 9 season is alllllll about the wedding of Robin and Barney. And they get divorce. It's cruel, but it's life also.
It was cruel what they did to Robin too, especially at the end, but on other occasions as well I think. In reality women can make it work to have husbands/families even if they have to work abroad. I had the feeling they punished the "career woman" for her choice how to live life in the series. She got to be the saddest character even though Barney was the most fucked up of all. And I think building a family really was just plan b for Lilly. She was too big a coward to really try for her dreams. But I guess many people have that plan b, that's just the way it is.
My feelings about the deleted Ted/Robin restaurant scene depend entirely on this question: is the Mother still alive when they're talking?
I think the mother already died. I think it is stated in the series that the mother died when the son was born. Not exactly on birth, but maybe a little bit over that. And the fact that ted is walking his daughter and picking them up from school, it is kind of a hint that the mother is already gone.
I think she was still alive.
They got married in 2020, they weren't married when Penny and Luke were born. And the Mother died in 2024 and Penny even says "It's been 6 years"
You know what, even if the Mother was already dead I think the way Robin was talking was still super disrespectful. Basically suggesting that they both wish the last 10 or so years hadn't happened I.e. erasing his life with the Mother. Yuck.
@@jaycievictory8461 agree completely. It's disgusting. The fact he was even in contact with Robin while he was with her speaks volumes. How many women would want their husband hanging out with someone they shared so much history with? I reckon he lied to her
LETS GO TO THE MALL that would have been a great ending 😂
Just finished with the show. Seriously, that scene with Robin in the cafe, THAT would have been the best place to end it. The mom was ill, so he told the kids the story of how he met her b/c he wasn't sure if she was going to pull through. So they build some tension around that in the last episodes, but she lives. The story about him and Robin ends up becoming a good lesson about letting go of the past. Then Robin and Ted meet up and have this heart to heart. It's happy for Ted, it's bittersweet for Robin, and we get a finale to the story that began with them that doesn't make the mother a useless plot device.
This is all still fresh for me, so I'm still stewing.
Out of all the purely negative "oh they ruined this character" or just empty opinions like" I liked the mom she was pretty" this is the comment I agree with the most. The show has always been about life lessons and I think this would have been the perfect mix between the happily ever after and the tragic death, where everything comes full circle in a bittersweet kind of way as you put it with ted saying no to robin at the end. The woman he had chased after so many times and could never let go of while thinking that she was the happiness that he seeked in his life until he met tracy, his true soulmate.
I still dont mind Ted gettting back with Robin after Tracy dies. The execution of this idea sucks in the show, but it doesnt mean the idea itself is bad. All we needed to see is how Ted is broken after losing Tracy and thinking that he shouldnt get together with someone else, out of respect for Tracy. Then the message would be that you can love more than 1 person in your life. Sure, the moving on way that u presented could work too, but I dont think the idea of the writers is bad. What was bad is how they treated Barney, that was a complete character regression.
I really like your idea... I would like to add to it with an idea I had... Ted and Robin leave the restaurant after their heart to heart, as Ted goes off to meet his wife and pick up his kids, we get the "Major problems" moment. As Ted walks off, Robin walks off looking back at him... not looking where she's going she bumps into a man's back and he drops everything he's carrying (his face is not shown). She apologizes as she tearfully helps him pick up his things. Amongst the things she picks up is a picture of her with the man... she pauses stunned... she looks up and the man is revealed to be... Don (its the picture they took together when they did the show with the puppets). They talk for a moment and Don reveals he's just moved back to NY and is starting a new network job tomorrow (and that's why he was carrying the box of belongings) and he's on the way to put them in his new office. Robin asks "What network?" and Don says "Metro News 1". She says "You're going back?" He says "I always felt like there was something missing... something I needed to finish". They smile and stare at each other as they begin to walk off, talking.
Then we hear Ted's (narrative) voice as he tells his kids the lessons he learned about destiny and patience and timing (as the camera cuts to them listening to him talk). How with Robin and Don it was destiny mixed with patience and timing. And before he can launch off into another long lecture to the kids, we hear Tracy's (his wife's) voice saying if he keeps talking the kids ears off, they're going to be late for Don and Robin's wedding.
Ted continues to finish his thoughts about destiny, patience and timing...
We briefly flashback to The Farhampton station when Ted and Tracy met and hear a little of their conversation. They have their discussion about the story of the umbrella. Ted tells her he used to believe in destiny... he still kind of does... but he feels more that life is about patience and... Tracy interrupts and finishes with "Timing..." Then we get those final words.
"Destiny, Patience and Timing... And that kids... is How I Met Your Mother...
The theme music for the closing credits plays and in the background we see photos from the wedding which include pictures of Robin and Don cutting the cake, Ted and Tracy laughing, Lily and Marshall dancing, Barney smiling dancing with his daughter and ending with one final picture of Robin in her wedding dress with Ted, Marshalll, Lily and Barney.

I was so p*ssed that they didn't show more of these schmosby moments in the final season if it really had to end the way it did. Like why tf would you delete these precious moments anyway.....
This scene improves Ted. Shows that he was truly happy and did not merely "settle" for the mother. But it does make Robin look a bit lame to be honest.
Might seem a bit spiteful on my part but it would have been nice to see a canon scene where Ted finally isn't obsessing but Robin is.

Tracy fans need to understand about Ted showing the four loves to Robin that Tracy never received.
(1) Ted did a rain dance to make it rain so Robin wouldn’t go on that corporate trip.
(2) Ted dumped Victoria (which in my opinion was way better than Tracy) because he could not be away from Robin.
(3) Ted gives away Robin to Barney because he wants the best for her despite his feelings for her.
(4) Ted flys to LA to retrieve Robins locket and even dives into the lake to find it after thrown in their by his ex girlfriend.
(5) Ted in the pilot episode says I’ll be marrying that girl someday.
Barney did not show his unconditional love to Robin the way Ted showed it to Robin.
True, it was all too much. He was a big fool running after that woman. You don't need to put out a show every freakin' time, if the woman wants you back. Ted fell for an illusion that was only in his head. And only that kept him single for all this time.

The last scene with Marshall and Lilly...was that supposed to be after Ted brings the blue French horn to Robin?
yep
I don’t think so... Ted says “I got to pick up the kids”, so both scenes (the lunch and the other one with Marshall and Lilly) are betwen when they met each other on the street with Ted’s daughter, and the blue horn one.
Also, if u remember, on the blue horn scene Robbin is at the window with her five dogs beside her, so Ted see those dogs. The lines of the lunch scene wouldn’t make sense anymore.
The blue horn scene is still the last one, time after of the other ones.

@@kurawini Because it could not have happened before the blue horn scene. It has got to be the final one, without a doubt. They wouldn't get together immediately after that scene because he said that he had to pickup the kids. If he picks up the kids, they got to be really young. Don't forget that they were almost adult teenagers when they influenced Ted to get the blue French horn.

Ngl, I’ve watched the whole show for 5 times
Only with the alternative ending and the lunch scene between Ted and Robin in this video
HOW WAS THE LETS GO TO THE MALL SCENE DELETED !!!
The fact that Barney and Robin were perfectly fitting as a couple, then getting divorced and then having a sequence were a woman can’t be happy with just her career without kids or husband and had to had been proven wrong is so devastatingly awful.
If you’re girl watching this, let nobody tell you you can’t be happy being a successful business woman without kids and husband and in the end you will regret it.
Robin was probably my favorite character, but they did her so dirty.
Let’s all just be thankful that there are characters like Christina Yang.
I do not think they are depicting this. Robin was happy as a successful woman. Her relationship with Barney was a tumultuous one. This was depicted well with their many fights, the insecurities of each and the fact that he had to sort of play her. These foreshadowed the demise of their relationship. Barney was burnt out being with her. They are mostly showing how sad she is in her realization that Ted was the one and she has lost him here and her heartfelt apology to him. She admits her mistake. Though she is insanely happy professionally, now that she is ready to commit to someone truly, he is not available and they just have this distant friendship because they cannot have anything else.
5:57 i wait for this scene everytime i watch himym, why just why would you delete it
Thank you for sharing all of this, but in my humble opinion the only one that really mattered was Ted & Robin's lunch scene..

Whole episode of Carl talking to the police. "how I met the gang" and it's a whole episode around him meeting them and then it leading to them trashing the bar.
Stephen McIntosh omg that’d be gold
I don’t ship ted and robin Whats so ever. I’m upset that they try so hard to ship them.
When they ended up together I was proper pissed and although it was somewhat unexpected . I was really angry bcos I really didnt want tracy to die .
I never thought they were good together. I really hate that they killed tracy off
Tracy was great.... It was such a cop out Robin and Ted.... I think they really wanted to get to their end goal but didn't think about the fact that sometimes relationships evolve....
As Ted's children suggested, the whole premise behind How I Met Your Mother is the telling of the ever-lasting love between Ted and Robin. Hell, even the first episode of the first season shows Ted falling in love with Robin.... So, despite Tracy being the best fit for Ted, Robin and Ted were destined/designed to get together since the shows inception
Agreed, barney and robin should have been end game
Older Ted and Robin scenes are garbage... I demand porch scene with Robin and Barney together and Ted and Tracy sitting on Lily and Marshalls porch in the fifties.
C'mon people we all knew Ted and Robin were always meant to be together in the show. Otherwise why would they give so much emphasis of Ted's feelings for her all through the show. And if his wife was alive,why wud he spend days and weeks telling abt the story of how he met their mother to his kids? It was imaginable that she was no more. Do u know when we could have imagined the ending?The episode where Marshal and Lily made bet on Ted abd Robin. In the last scene, Marshal still said NOT YET. That's when the ending was clear. And here he finally got his money after he won the bet. If they had changed the name of the show to something else,and just made it a simple show with a simple name,no storytelling,no past future,u would'v easily understood the finale. Bt the title of the show confused you all. Like Ross and Rachel end up together, obviously Ted and Robin too! They were lobsters ❤️
They should've included the 5 bucks scene! That meant ted ended up witb robin!!
Yes! I'm rewatching the series and I just finished that episode where they explain the bet.
I kinda thought Lilly would have one last "You son of a b****" moment at the end, for Ted.
If only the finale was longer... if only they have included all this scenes... they finale will be a little bit less disappointing. In particular, the scene in which Robin tells Barney that she was about to run away (giving the audience a little idea of future arguments beteeen them AND the sudden and totally unexpected divorce), and the luch scene between Robin and Ted.. it showed that he was REALLY happy, that what they did wasn't rushed. I know that 6 years is a long time and I am cool with them together, I just think this will have make everything has more sense...more scenes of him dealing with his wife's dead, may be Robin being there for him... you know? Also, Marshall winning his five bucks is hilarious 😂
@ totally!!!!!
I like this scene - they both portray to estranged friends very well. - theres still friendship there but you have a tendency to talk like youre talking to a stanger
I truly believe if CBS had let the team at fox run the show for 6 more minutes, the finale would've been better received.
Ok WTF!!!! Why in the world would they cut out the lunch scene. Oh! Wait! Although it was very much needed for the storyline, they wanted their *shocking* ending and they got it, cuz they cut this out. That scene would have alluded that Ted and Robin weren't done. But those last 5 to 10 minutes...
I feels more like they took it out, because that scene makes Robin feel like a villain. She's hoping Ted would cheat on his Tracy. And Clearly Ted did not share her feelings. And loved Tracy 100%
But respected her and their relationship enough to kindly decline her.
And the ending was not at all shocking. The moment Tracy said "what kind of mother, doesn't go to her own daughter's wedding?" and Ted starts to cry. As well as the new year scene. They pretty much spell it out for you.
The show is known for subtle forshadowings. It's what made the show so great, especially when you rewatch it and see the connections.
@@UsonoHoushi can you explain the “what kind of mother doesn’t go to her own daughter’s wedding” and how it foreshadowed anything?
Also which new year scene are you alluding to and how does it foreshadow?
@@AN-filmandmusic Their reactions AFTER the fact. Tis called VISUAL story telling.
And obviously the new year where Tracy had a hangover.
Long version:
After Tracy says the line, Ted gives her a look. And once they meet eyes he starts to cry, which has her crying while comforting him. Then goes on to trying to change the subject.
It's a show don't tell moment.
With new year, Ted explained within the story that everytime they all had those hangovers it was when they were all at their most miserable. And the drink was a way for Barney to comforting them.
The last scene is seen Tracy having a hang over. And Ted giving her the drink.
Very subtle story telling.
“It’s a leap year?”😂😂
This is one of those occasions where the story did not get enough time to explain itself and transition from one revelation to the next.
HIMYM finale was rushed and many things were learned in one single episode. They knew ahead of time how long they would have though so I believe they should have used the last season to expand and transition all these finals revelations rather than shoving it into the last final episode.
The fact that the entire season resolved around Robin & Barney’s wedding just to be told in the final episode that Robin and Barney divorced just a few years later and the entire season is in many ways a waste of time for the overall story.
And how sad is that!? An entire season was used as filler, time killer when they had so much more to tell!! I don’t understand why the creators and writers did this when they had so much to work from and it was the final wrap up. It’s like they said screw all of season 9, besides the final 2 episodes. We’ll put all our creative power to these 2 final episodes and throw tons of news and twists and surprises and disappointments, and just have the wedding spread out across the rest of the season and advance almost nothing.
I just don’t get it but I do believe the final script could have worked and been accepted much better had it not came as a series of random revelations and forced/rushed twists.
The mother had to die at the end, absolutely no doubt. The series had already hinted towards that to many times over the years and it only brings more reason and power to the story of how dad met mom… So that is clear. It had to happen. And I’m okay with that and believe many others are too. Many feel cheated that it was Robin who ended up with Ted in the end because of various reasons but basically because they felt lied too and cheated but again, it only makes sense. As the children mentioned at the end, who’s story was this truly ? It was Robin! All about Ted and Robin. So it makes sense that daddy kept talking mostly about Robin more than anyone else, including the mother, because it was the story of how he met Robin, and was it not?......
Momma died, Ted & Robin finally come full circle later in life after years of on and off relationship, failed marriages, widowed and basically a realization that they were destined for each other in the end. It was all about Robin. So it makes sense they come together in the end.
But the problem was the rushed transitions of facts. Again, had they better organized the ending and spread it across the season rather than a wedding, that in actuality, was nothing more than a faded mistake in the memories of all.
So that was pretty bad to use the entire final season to tell a story that really actually ended up not meaning anything at all in the end.
Barney reverted to his old ways after receiving the biggest character growth in the show over the last season or 2. So that felt rushed and unexpected and just flat out disappointing.
So basically, I’m just trying to say that all these final revaluations ended on a sour note only because they came as surprises and rushed and an entire season got flushed in the process.
Still a great series. One of the absolute best.
It’s not just the final season that’s a waste. Everything from season 6 to 9 is all about how Barney and Robin end up together. They need to get together in order for Ted to meet Tracy.
100% agreed!!
💯💯
Robin kind of took Ted for granted those early years. She was focused on other things when love came but knew she could rely on him. It was not until she lost him completely when she was in the position to actually be in a relationship where she was not traveling that caused her to introspect and felt the need to express this to him, even though he was happy somewhere else, leading the life he always imagined. Ted is the hero in the sense that he got to experience two great loves, and even Victoria, who most in his shoes would have gone on to marry, although there were those two aspects of her knowing about Robin and the sense that she is close to but not exactly the one, or at least "one of the ones", because, as they show depicts, there are more of them out there.
the fact that these were cut is criminal. they would’ve changed the finale’s reaction in such a major way. *major way*
Honestly, I love the ending! Of course, the Cafe scene would have made a huge difference and I would love the ending even more. It gives a sense of reality and how bittersweet life can be and for those of you who don't know, the writers had been giving hints of how the show would end since Season 1. The biggest hint to me was the fact that Ted and Tracy's favorite book is Love In The Time of Cholera which tells a story of two lovers that are together in the beginning, then break up, the woman marries another man, the man eventually dies and she and her former lover come together again at the end, besides, the characters have a lot of similiarities too.
As much important as the Ted&Robin dinner scene is I love the next one when we see that Marshall finally wins his bet with Lilly.
best scene ever
OMG I NEEDED THE 5 DOLLAR SCENE AS THE LAST SCENE AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW
for real if they had included the scene where robin confesses that she's not all that happy despite being successful and that she still has feelings for ted after all those years then i probably would have coped with the ending better. the main reason why i despised the finale so much was because it felt like ted hadn't actually moved on from robin even after getting married to tracy. but in that scene, he says he's happy with how his life is after ending up with tracy. that scene would have given the ending some justice and us fans some peace of mind.
I can't stop watching this show. I've started from season 1 through to the end like 10 times now!
You guy are all mad about them removing the lunch date, but the real tragedy was the Marshall Lilly bet erasure 😭
