HIMYM 114: Zip, Zip, Zip

Ted and Victoria's relationship starts with a long romantic weekend holed up in Ted's bedroom not boning, or other tasteful euphemism. After a pre approved month of waiting, Ted and Victoria go back to the apartment which is supposed to be free, because Lilly and Marshall have gone out of town to celebrate their 9 year anniversary. As it turns out they bailed on the trip and are now stuck in the bathroom, sit com style to make sure they do not salt Ted's game, which is horrific game at that. All this leaves Barney and Robin to have a night out bro-ing when Barney hits on Robin which will pay off in sleeping with her in 2 years and dating her in 4... oh yeah spoilers.

Ted: Ted spitting bad game was funny through out. That is the beauty of a moment, it is fleeting.

Marshall: Marshall's exasperated 'Oh Boy' after Lilly explains the peeing conundrum is I believe the first sitcom Quantum Leap shout out that has existed.

Lilly: Let's see, Lilly tells us that she always covers a fart with a cough, makes fun of Ted's crappy game and gives a blind high five to Marshall when she says she could have completed the act 5 times in 45 minutes. Thems MVP numbers right there.

Robin: This is the first episode we got to see Robin out as who she is most, a sexy tomboy. This episode laid out the most template to who she was and did the important job of pairing her off with Barney and establishing what their dynamic would be like.

Barney: Not the funniest the man has ever been, but I do appreciate jokes that go a long way into calling your male friend a girl.

MVP: Lilly mos def.
