    Ugh, I'm not digging Season 3 so far. Don't get me wrong, there were some good moments like the revealing of the belt for whoever "rode the tricycle" first and the ending when Ted chose not to tell Barney whether he did it or not. (Although it's pretty clear he did; It was also a nice blast to the beginning of the episode, when Future Ted tells his kids there's some stories he tells and some he doesn't) However, Robin wasn't involved with the rest of the gang in this episode and her storyline was boring. Note: Robin's first two boyfriends post-Ted are foreign: one from Argentina, the next, in this episode, from Britain. I didn't like Ted's change of personality around Trudy and Rachel and I don't find either of them appealing honestly. However, Busy Philipps provided a nice flashback to "Freaks and Geeks" the show robbed by NBC of a chance/Season 2. Meanwhile, Marshall and Lily talk about if each other die again, briefly, and that's about it. In my opinion, Season 3 has not gotten off to a good start, maybe Ted and Robin should just get back together...moreless

    "Third Wheel" is an awesome How I Met Your Mother episode. In this episode, Ted has the opportunity for a threesome. I love how he calls Barney for advice and he ends up getting advice from Lily and Marshall as well. I love how Ted is about to have a threesome when he goes into his room, the gang is there, and Barney makes this sob story about how he almost had a threesome but couldn't do it. I love Robin's plot of not shaving her legs and then she meets this guy she really likes, so she wants to shave her legs. I give this episode a 9/10.moreless

    Muy divertido ver a Barney y a Marshall jugando con el Nintendo Wii, (cunto dinero habr pagado Nintendo para mostrar ese tipo de publicidad? pero ese es otro tema jeje). En este episodio, Ted esta a las puertas del sueo de cualquier hombre, estar con dos chicas a la vez, claro, lo nico malo es que el episodio nos deja sin saber que fu lo que realmente sucedio, y creo que nos dej tan intrigados a los televidentes como a Barney, quien se moria por enterarse si Ted lo hizo o no. En fin, espero que en algn momento en el futuro nos puedan sacar de esa duda, y ojala mostrar un flashback con lo que realmente sucedio, hasta ese momento estaremos son saber. Aunque en mi opinin, creo que Ted no hizo nada, solo queria dejar a Barney picado.moreless
  • Best episode of the season so far.

    This is a really funny and entertaining episode which drags you along.
    Ted runs into the girl who escaped over the fire escape in the episode "Pinapple Incident". She and her friend tell him that their fantasy would be a threesome with some other guy, so Ted's getting nervous and asking Barney for help, who is playing Wii with Marshall.
    In the meantime Robin's on a date with an obvious handsome guy in a restaurant. Her intention not to shave her legs lead her into trouble because she is really into him. When she finally manages to get hands on a shaver, she tries to shave herself in the ladies room but falls over.

    All in all this has been a really great episode, I never been so excited about the whole storyline.
    But (there's always a but) I was not really happy with the end (I so wished Ted would get the threesome), but I guess this is just typical for HIMYM.

    As I said, best episode of the season so far.moreless

    • Marshall: Okay, new scenario: We're caught in a car crash, you die, I'm left paralyzed. Two sexy nurses come in with a six-pack of wine coolers. I try to blink at them in Morse code. (blinks his eyes) Please... no... I love my dead wife. But they're medical professionals and I have to assume this is good for me. Lily: Fine, sleep with your nurses. Tonight you ride the unicycle. Marshall: Already did this morning.

    • Ted: What? We agreed! I suited up! Barney: You take too long to get ready. Ted: What are you talking about? I got the low-maintenance, just-rolled-out-of-bed look. Marshall: Which takes about an hour-and-a-half of waxing, tugging, and teasing to achieve. Barney: And then he starts on his hair.

    • Marshall: If Lily died before me, I could easily go for the belt. Lily: If I died before you, I could easily come back and haunt your penis.

    • Marshall: (not wearing pants) Wait, I thought we were in for the evening. Barney: That's what I thought about your bangers and mash, but apparently we're both wrong, governor!

    • Barney: The real Wimbledon lasts a fortnight. Marshall: British words are cool. Also, their lawyers wear wigs. I wore a wig at work once, and they laughed at me.

    • Trudy: (fantasy) Ted, what's wrong? Ted: I was just thinking about this documentary I saw once. About something called a super volcano. (to Barney) Okay, what the hell? Barney: Wait for it... Ted: (fantasy) It can happen at anytime. And obliterate all life on Earth. Which is why I live by three simple words; don't postpone joy. Rachel: Oh, my God. Trudy: That's so true. Ted: (present) Mortality angle. That's actually pretty good. I can do this.

    • Rachel: (fantasy) You give the most amazing foot massage. Ted: That's because I used to practice all the time on my grandmother. (to Barney) Why in God's name would I say that? Barney: It's endearing! You're a caregiver. Never take family values out of the equation.

    • Lily: I cannot give up my bedroom to a boot thief. She should be punished, not rewarded. Ted: Fine, then I'll try to work in a little light spanking.

    • Ted: It's a tricycle!
      Barney: No way, no way, no way!
      Marshall: What's happening?
      (Barney gives Marshall the phone)
      Ted: It's a tricycle!
      Marshall: No way, no way, no way! It's a tricycle!
      Lily: I'll say it now, all sorority girls are sluts.

    • Barney: (on women with unshaved legs) Guys just want to get on the green. They don't mind going through the rough.

    • Ian: Hey, Robin, the valet just pulled my car in. I thought we could go back to my place, if you're in the mood for a nightcap. Robin: Absolutely, I just have to go to the ladies room. I've got TB: tiny bladder.

    • Barney: Ted, if you're going to go for the Belt, then the bylaws require me to ask the following questions: 1. Is the aggregate age of all participants under 83? Ted: Yes. Barney: 2. Is the aggregate weight of all participants under 400 pounds? Ted: Yes. Barney: Theodore Mosby, are you paying these women? Ted: No! Barney: Ted...
