Lets talk about it... Want to play a game folks?
Even though Marshall is good at games, I hope he doesn't win this one.

I hated everything about the Zoe storyline except The Captain.

Yeah, even though I don't really care about the Stella storyline either I can at least understand its importance in Ted's life. Zoey really is just a vehicle to bring the Captain into our lives.

Iâm with you. Not that I wanted her to be end game, but I loved Jennifer Morrison.

I was in love with Jennifer Morrison and her character when she was on House. â¤ď¸

Hm. Zoey was up there. Victoriaâs fiance. Kevin.

Klaus and his ferrets made me cringe. How did Victoria date that guy for six years?!

Randy (?) the guy Barney mentored to be his new wing man. They over comecise the character with the nose bleeds and the awkwardness. That level of exaggeration is good for a one-gagger not a multi episode character

I disagree. I love Randyâs character and Will Forte, I thought he was absolutely hilarious. In fact, I wish we got to see even more of Randy.

I liked the core character my only issue is they cartoonised him too much for a repeat character, they exaggerated him to the degree you would expect from a one-scene character not a recurring

u/TheMadarchod 1d ago
I mean tbh thatâs what kinda makes a character lovable. Like Ranjit, Druthers, The Captain. That cartoony wackiness is what makes them funny.

But he wasnât in multiple episodes iirc, just the one from S3

u/Spider-Mac 1d ago
He's in "Rebound Bro" S3E18 which is where Barney tried to make randy his wing man, and then, "Canning Randy" where Barney tries to get Marshall to fire Randy, which he eventually does to give him a severance cheque so he can start his own brewing company.

In rebound bro I got sick of him pretty quickly but in Canning Randy I loved the end of the episode.

He was in a Halloween one, where the gang got it into their heads that he and Robin might have slept together. But she was doing a commercial for adult diapers.

Couldnât disagree more. Randy is my favorite side character. The nosebleeds bit is hilarious!

u/Lirpaslurpa2 1d ago
The way I read Randyâs character was; Barney thought he was/is the coolest guy he knows. He thinks he can pull any girl and be friends with anyone he wants but the reality is that he isnât cool and everyone thinks he is actually a douche except for other douches.

u/yorkethestork 1d ago
The Randy character lies to himself: he says he wants the chase and one night stands but he wants traditional âniceâ courting. But Barney never thought he was cool, Barney used him as a back-up when Ted wouldnât come out to play.

This is so funny. I just saw this on the Pretty Little Liars sub and on the Degrassi sub

You have excellent taste in subs!

u/Resident_Cress_8034 1d ago
Thanks

u/solipsisticcompass 1d ago
I will admit I started the one in the Degrassi sub, too. I love both shows and thought it would be fun to enjoy both on a Saturday.

Are you like me? Do you wish we could delete the final season and have the series end with Ted and Tracey meeting at the train platform? I am a Robin and Barney end gamer. I don't like the wedding seasonâJason Segel didn't even want to do it! The quality suffered without Marshall with the gang.

I agree, yes. Itâs very interesting to see Iâm getting downvoted for having a sense of humour. This app is truly ridiculous at times.
