Sorry to be late with this, my social life sometimes keeps me from being punctual! I’ll keep this short, this was an entertaining episode and may in fact hold some sort of television record for the most double entendres during a 30 minute show…I feel as though 83% of you will agree.
Space Teens was funny, and it’s nice to see Alan Thicke back again. I really don’t have a lot of commentary this week, but I do have some lingering questions posted after the jump. Mainly focusing on the best man offer. Spekaing of which, I felt that all the best friend talk really helped sell the ending and was played nicely.
So to the point, what did you think?
Legendary Lines
Barney: I wanted my first time to be with someone I cared about
Marshall: Yea, I get that a lot. Well, just once.
Marshall: It’s a clown car.
Robin: Beavers are adorable
Barney: No argument there.
Lily: I hate to agree with Barney but this does seem to be a veritable Pornicopia.
Moments of Awesomeness:
- Barney’s Boutonniere… while short lived (only the beginning of the ep & it didn’t even get any play to measure effectiveness) it’s a solid concept.
- The robot…if you have every wondered why you “don’t forget the robot” then now you know.
- Barney’s reality TV reference were hilarious.
- Marshall’s shredded Joey Buttafucco pants.
- 83% of call backs awesome.
Eh?
- Ted’s poems are awful. Just awful kids.
- I’m not sure where to draw the line for the vast amount of sexual innuendos but this has gotta be close. As a twitter follower pointed out: If this were a friends episode this would be "The one with the double entendres"
The Re-Return:
Meanwhile at the Hoser Hut, a reprise of the Beaver song with Robin, Glitter and other Canadian icons…including the Robot.
Lingering Questions:
- So Ted is punchy’s best man. Does this actually answer the Wedding Question from Big Days or is just a smoke screen? I still don’t feel like it’s Punchy’s because of Marshall & Lily’s wedding involvement, but what do I know?
- Are two beavers really better than one?
Me first! Is The Wedding Punchie’s???
“Because it’s a clown car?”
Sashay away
holy crap a wedding reveal! this episode was a biggie. i feel that glitter will have a bigger role than we think
It has that potential, but you are right in that it didn’t feel like a monumental episode.
I’m torn. I really feel like the best man deal is just a ploy. Maybe I’m still just holding on to the hope that it’s R&B.
There definitely hasn’t been enough setup to explain the wedding from the season premiere being Punchy’s – as we last heard, everyone in the group besides Ted still hates him. I think we’re all just chomping at the bit to get a “wedding reveal.”
Ted’s “because it’s a clown car” line very nearly made me do an actual spit take. All the Robin/Glitter stuff was great. Not the most earth-shattering episode in terms of plot advancement, but there were some solid ‘serious moments’ for character development (mainly with Lily and Robin), and it’s gotta be my pick for the funniest episode so far this season.
I was rolling around laughing at this episode. Two beavers is better than one was built up but wasn’t the full on musical production it could have been (probably cause it’s Canadian)
Anyone who lives in NYC knows how much Times Square sucks .. sorry Punchy
Barney in mid-slap when there is even the smallest sign that Robin Sparkles could have been porn.
Marshall refusing to cuddle with Lily even though she’s adorable when she cries .. “OK maybe just one cuddle”
Me too! I hope they are just trying to make us think that it’s his wedding, but actualy it’s Barney and Robin’s.
I was disappointed in the episode. Thought it was all filler. I think the Punchy wedding is a smokescreen. Marshall is wearing the exact tuxedo that Ted is wearing so why is he in the wedding? Question: do we know for sure that the wedding seen in the beginning of the episode was meant to happen this season?
i think it still Barney’s and Robin’s wedding. 😀
I agree with kathy, i don’t think the wedding in “Big Days” is Punchy’s wedding because Marshall is there too. And Punchy is a complete stranger to Marshall, so..
We’ve never been told that the wedding we saw in Big Days was going to happen in Season 6. There are rumors that lead us to suspect the mother may be introduced before the end of the series though.
Punchy’s wedding invitation is definitely a false alarm… TWO MAJOR events in such a short span (between episode 1 and 9)… come on.. seriously…
OR…
Ted meets a girl from back home from Ohio.. Punchy’s still in Cleveland right?
Glitter was a great one off… but they may end up give her a bigger part if the fans love her THAT much… and anyway, two beavers are OBVIOUSLY better than one!
I have to admit I haven’t seen this show… and I hear about it regularly. I need to start watching IMMEDIATELY!
Oh, and tomorrow I’m starting a series of posts on finding your INNER AWESOME and I just couldn’t write about awesomeness without posting your site on the page somewhere… what with a title of BE AWESOME INSTEAD… AWESOME!
