That scene where Marshall finds out that his dad died gets me every time. I always cry to this day.

[trinaq]

My favourite is still the countdown to the news of Marshall's dad's death. They cleverly hid numbers in every single scene until the big reveal.

[lucecarter]

The song playing in the background as they meet at the train station is also a sign. Its called The Funeral by Band of Horses and the lyrics are literally about waiting for a funeral

[barrinter]

In the background of the scene where Barney is hit by the bus, he is standing next to a one way sign pointing the way opposite of the direction the bus was traveling.

Did you notice that in the last episode of Season 6. When they started counting down to blow up the Arcadia.. if u continue the count to 0 it matches the reveal of Lily’s Pregnancy 😊
It’s a countdown to Good News for Marshall.

[NidhiAgrawal]

These are brilliant. I've watched the show so many times now, yet a couple of these were mind blowingly new for me ❤

[Grizzly-pkyy]

I loved following the story of Ted find his girl.
I was crying when he met her for the first time.
...
And after the last Episode it was all gone

I like the bit where Barney has headphones in the back of the taxi and he is dancing to Beyonce Ring On It

[miguelabad]

Actually, basing from the position of the hands, the time reads 3:20. Which just goes to show that they were probably high when they were setting the clock lol

[onedayseoul]

This show gets a lot of flack nowadays but you even mention Marshall's dad to me and I WILL CRY he's so lovable and his relationship with Marshall is so touching it makes it so much more impactful

[horror_fam]

Also in #8, the bus is traveling the wrong way down a one way street. 😏😂

[ariagrace]

Watched the show so many times that i've eventually seen & loved all those gags

[SaltyCWench]

This makes the show THAT much betterrr

[vinnyrandazzo]

I just noticed the bus is going the wrong way when it hits barney

[angryyordle]

you see the frozen background character move a little actually, but it's still funny

[lovetodrawstufff]

I think Neil Patrick Harris goes down as one of the all time best sitcom actors 😂😂😂 his schemes with lafies are good but the ones he does with the gang are even better

[GalayethZen]

“Actually we prefer to say majestic creature. Monster really just has a negative connotation where as kind and gentle Nessi is not. “

Also captured as in picture. Not like netted

[GalayethZen]

I was thinking the chopsticks thing was part of the “i dont like Chinese” bit. Which by the way ties in nicely with this - umm Chinese and Japanese are different food and chopsticks snd hibachi cooking tools are very different skills.

[zeec]

Surprised thay you didnt mention the S9E12 the couple in the background when the gang are making fun of Robyn
