  • How I Met Your Mother "Who Wants to Be a Godparent?" Review: A Modern Family

    This week's episode didn’t really advance the HIMYM mythology, but it was a lot of fun.

    • Didn't quite live up to potential.

      9.5
      While this was a great episode, I felt it could be better! I loved that bit with them bribing Marshall & Lily with the bears that were invcreasing in size! There were some hilarious moments with the flash sforwards to how Marvin would be raised in the event of their deaths. Robin's style was quite funny in particular!



      But I did feel that the episode could have done more! I thought it was going to be great but it seemed to miss that special something to warrant a ten from me.moreless

      This is the worst HIMYM episode I have seen so far, in all 8 seasons. It seems that the only thing writers have been able to do is write decent jokes for Barney, that's it.
    • Robin all the way

      Robin on the bike, loved it and the rest was whatever.
    • Real Life Questions

      I happened to love this episode! No, it doesn't really get us any closer to meeting the mother. But, I think what fans have come to love about this show is that it deals with real life questions. This episode takes a look at what happens when the first couple in a group of friends starts having kids. And, we had some fun along the way! I think Ted needed this episode to remember what he really wants in life. And, I think he's getting closer to realizing Victoria isn't it.



      All in all, a funny and heart-felt episode. Even with no mention of the "mother".moreless

    • TRIVIA (3)

      • On this episode, Marshall's brother Marcus is seem married and dad of two school-aged kids, that he abandoned to work at a Tiki Bar. Less than a year ago, on Season 7's episode "Tailgate", Marshall clearly states that his brother was unemployed and living with his mom.

      • After almost getting hit by a car, Lily starts overreacting and says: "Death is all around us". The same type of reaction is seen on Marshall, when his health insurance ran out on Season 7's episode: "Disaster Adverted".

      • At the end of the episode, Marshall and Lily made Ted, Robin, and Barney godparents. Except a child is only supposed to have two godparents.
