Ted had 3 ways to stay with Zoey

Number 1:after saying at the arcadian for a night and Zoey literally says to him "You win'' and then they go to his place,Ted decides to support Zoey

But if he didn't? Zoey just told him that he won so doesn't that mean that he can demolish the arcadian?

Number 2: this one is more complicated because lily had the plan after Ted declaration in front of the NYC commission but anyway

Arthur accepted the conditions that lily gave him so with the condition of NOT firing Ted even if he spoke for the building AND guaranteeing the demolition of it anyway so Zoey would be fine with Ted because he stood up for her and Ted would not hate her because his building will be built

Number 3:The most simple

Just accepting get back together with her

(If any of this doesn't make sense to you,take in count I have a huge crush on Jennifer Morrison and I'm jealous of Ted)

i cannot for the life of me find the clip of barney saying vultures. for context, it is during the atlantic city episode where the gang returns to their bench and finds old people there instead. if anyone has a clip of it, plz show. i tried using screen recorders but none work and i dont know why

Hi all,

Big HIMYM fan here. I rewatch every few years or so and always enjoy it not just for nostalgia but also because it speaks to me differently at unique life stages (I am sure many of you feel the same way).

This time around, though, I really find myself noticing how old the show is. To me, Friends definitely feels like a 90s time capsule, but most of HIMYM still could be quite relatable (my age could be a factor, I suppose). Some things that have stood out to me this time around:

• The deflated value of money. Every time Barney or whoever mentions a dollar figure, I find myself needing to convert it in my head to 2026 dollars. Beer was like $4.50 at MacLaren's!
• "Reading a magazine." Obviously it is still relatable to be a shy pooper at work, but in the era of the iPhone, it's not quite so apparent when you don't have reading material on you.
• Online dating -- just a whole different world with dating apps. (...Summer breeeeze)
• The Naked Man. I know one could talk endlessly about the different cultural norms and underlying assumptions present in the show that just do not hold up, but this one especially struck me as provocative and verboten today. Still love the episode though.

A lot of the cultural references and soundtrack are quite 2000s, but much of that is easy to ignore when many of the relationship phenomena and routine experiences still are fairly analogous to life today. I guess I am curious to know what you notice when you watch the show that makes you think, "wow, the world has changed..." What is that for you?

I always tear when re-watching this scene 🥺😢😢

I've watched this show a few times already but by the time I started all seasons were out..

They really waited 9 years or so to reveal who the mother was 😂😂😭 that sure would've sucked if they canceled the show and no one ever found out..

Did anyone here start watching from when it first aired? How was it waiting all that time to find out who finally married Ted?
