How I stretched a 15 minute story into 9 fucking years
Tap for spoiler
because I’m still simping for your Aunt Robin and want to let you know that she’s about to become your new mother

“Kids, did I ever tell you about all the women I banged, including the time I pulled two hot chicks for a threesome?”
Honestly, I loved that show. But this picture is still so damn true.
Great show, loved the show, would have been better without the premise.
The complete reversal of character development is what killed it for me as well. With the same ending and removing the reversal the ending is 100x better. Just let their growth mean something instead of pissing it all away.
GoT has entered the chat
I'm going to say something controversial:
IMO, Game of Thrones is massively overrated (even without the terrible later seasons) and is just an excuse for a porn and gore fest. I put it in the same category as shows like The Boys.
If you like it, fair enough, you do you, but nothing about that show resonated with me in any way.
Game of Thrones in the early seasons had interesting intrigues and there were a lot of options for who could be the next king or queen. Plus it had a way of making you care about a character before they were killed off. Yes I'm still salty about Oberyn Martell.
Then the politics and intrigue became increasingly less important as it became Dany + allies vs Cersei + allies. Yes there were a lot of other issues in the later seasons such as the whole fast travel issue, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.
My only exposure to GoT is from the reddit watchitfortheplot subreddit. You mean there was more to it then sex?
I was thinking of GoT when I wrote this. It's similar, but GoT was so much worse.
That's what a sitcom is about, maintaining the status quo. That's why at the end of every episode, the world reverts back to how it was before episode started.
The ending: Nah we just pretend to change and any growth you think a person makes is just cope.
That’s true but I didn’t care for new character at the end is the mom, let’s make you like her, then haha just go for Robin.
The story was never about getting from point A to point B. It was about every little distraction or detour in between that allowed getting to point B to have the impact that it had.
The laugh track adds up to two whole seasons
You can probably say that about any show with a laugh track. I usually don't mind it if the show has jokes. But then there are things like Big Bang Theory where they just pasted the laugh track over the dialogue in regular intervals without the jokes. I also don't remember How I Met Your Mother being funny.
The 15 minutes includes also all the jokes they told over the seasons.
Robin really wasn't a strong enough character.
Don't watch for the ending. Enjoy the journey.
There was actually an alternative ending where the mom lived. It's on YT. I prefer to think about it as the real ending
I was fine with the mother dying. It was just the immediate twist of "Mom's dead, and this is me now spending 9 years explaining to you why I want to go bang your aunt".
I think the bittersweet ending of finding out that the mother was dead all along and Ted was telling the story to his kids would have been a great ending without the add-on Robin double-twist.
Hated the journey as much as I hate Jason Segel
I'm guessing you realised you hated it after only a few episodes and it only got worse as you watched the rest 😏
I remember during early seasons a friend of mine saying "I think the mother is not Robin but he'll end up with Robin" and I said lol that would be so lame
A name would've been nice.
The show is called "How I Met Your Mother"
How about Peter?
Bro I watches and I don't even liked the ending. It was a waste of time! Seinfeld for ever, Giddy Up!
Seinfeld the paedophile? https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/jerry-seinfeld-dated-a-17-year-old/
Says so much about our culture that he wasn’t roasted alive for this back then.
Brought this up to a coworker of mine once, and they countered with "17 is basically just 18." to which I replied "You're right, adults who date "legal" teenagers are just as creepy." He shut up after that.
I didn't know that, still I'm talking about the series, not the actor.
