Ted: Ted goes off the deep end trying to meet a woman that a computer says is his perfect match regardless of the fact that she in engaged. He is a bit of a selfish ass sometimes... but god does he hate phonies. He is not deterred in his search 'because if a cockroach and a mouse can find love in this crazy world, why not him.'
Marshall: Marshall is at his best when he is defending the fantastic. "If by 'like the loch ness monster' you mean totally real and awesome then yes." "Oh come on you have to give me aliens."
Lilly: Lilly kept stealing Barney's drinks and then has weird sympathy for the Cockamouse. "they'll do lab experiments on it. That's so mean! Shouldn't we just beat it to death with a bat?"
Robin: Robin as the skeptic starts in this episode and she gets to see the majesty of the flying cockamouse. The panic of throwing a drink on it was pretty funny.
Barney: Barney gets to sprinkle lines through everyone elses story lines and gets Ted to go to matchmaker by telling him that his boat is sinking. Simple scheme Barney is usually the most fun.
MVP: Ellen the matchmaker takes the MVP as a guest in this episode. She implores Ted to be gay, maybe a little bi, to keep her 100% success rate. Her failure leaves her so dejected that she pours bourbon over ice cream, a method that Robin will use when she becomes unemployed and she gave it one last try showing Ted's picture on the street getting a lead on a transvestite who thought Ted looked like John Cusack and his/her favorite movie was 'Say Anything'. So guest MVP before Ted or Robin, this will surprise no fans of this show.
