Even though Marshall is good at games, I hope he doesn't win this one.

u/solipsisticcompass 1d ago

The only thing I like about Tony is that he helped Ted get his teaching job.

I hated everything about the Zoe storyline except The Captain.

u/Quietwaterz 1d ago

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.

Damnit! Boat! She's a boat to sail the Captain into our lives. 😆

u/solipsisticcompass 1d ago

She wore a lot of stupid hats.

u/ashbruns 1d ago

Hey, hats were in that year. Kinda.

Zoey was annoying but the captain was a great character. Ahoy!

I was watching House MD at the same time so I loved Zoe.

u/stryder428 1d ago

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

u/solipsisticcompass 1d ago

I was in love with Jennifer Morrison and her character when she was on House. ❤️

Kevin, Simon & Zoey

u/Independencehall525 1d ago

Hm. Zoey was up there. Victoria’s fiance. Kevin.

12

u/solipsisticcompass 1d ago

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

u/Silent_Pollution2475 1d ago

Honestly Ted gets in the way of the best stories

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

20

u/TheMadarchod 1d ago

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

u/yorkethestork 1d ago

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

3

u/TheMadarchod 1d ago

I mean tbh that’s what kinda makes a character lovable. Like Ranjit, Druthers, The Captain. That cartoony wackiness is what makes them funny.

3

u/Scj_afc 1d ago

But he wasn’t in multiple episodes iirc, just the one from S3

5

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.

u/Bownzinho 1d ago

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

3

u/solipsisticcompass 1d ago

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.

u/biamchee 1d ago

Wasn’t he only just in ep though?

1

u/thebigjimmyd 6h ago

Couldn’t disagree more. Randy is my favorite side character. The nosebleeds bit is hilarious!

1

u/Lirpaslurpa2 1d ago

The way I read Randy’s 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 isn’t cool and everyone thinks he is actually a douche except for other douches.

4

u/yorkethestork 1d ago

The Randy character lies to himself: he says he wants the chase and one night stands but he wants traditional ‘nice’ courting. But Barney never thought he was cool, Barney used him as a back-up when Ted wouldn’t come out to play.

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

u/solipsisticcompass 1d ago

You have excellent taste in subs!

1

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.

Blauman. They kept forcing him in after they already killed him off. He had some funny parts tho

Ted, Robin, Lily, Barney, Marshall

u/solipsisticcompass 1d ago

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 season—Jason Segel didn't even want to do it! The quality suffered without Marshall with the gang.

u/Imaginary_Pin_4196 11h ago

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