      There were some funny moments right throughout this one! Some of the nannies we met were hilarious! And then Barney being cornered by the nnannies was downright hilarious!



      I definitely really enjoyed this one - had a few minor flaws here and there - but for the most parts a really interesting episode which will hopefully ocontinue on to next week!

    • Keeps dissapointing

      I think this last season is just putting too much pressure on the writers...

      This episode had potential, but it almost came across as a drama rather than a comedy. I loved the English nanny they almost hire (though not in that endscene) and would have liked to see her a few more times, but like most things, Barney had to go and ruin it.



      The humor felt a bit off, especially right off the bat with Ted's boasting about Victoria keeping tampons at his apartment. It just didn't feel very HIMYM. Also, there were two scenes where the camera had to pan to follow the actors in scenes where panning shouldn't have happened. Sloppy.moreless

    • Bit of a filler episode

      This felt a bit like a filler episode where nothing much happened. It was as if they just needed to write something to fill a gap in the season plotline. Check out my television weekly round up on Cine-Vision 101 on the link below:

      I think the point of this episode was to establish that Ted's relationship with Victoria and Robin's with Nick are slowly falling apart. It would be rushed and unbelievable if their break-ups happened too quickly. Overall, nice episode but I didn't like the part when Marshall and Lily screamed at the camera. That was stupid, not funny.
