1:42 my man really just knocked Sweet Taste of Liberty? That episode was great

WE ARE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESSMEN

Sweet Taste of Liberty is one of the best episodes of season one. WE ARE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESSMEN.

I have heard this, and I think its true: Marshall and Lily grtting back together should have been season 2s finale and their wedding for season 3. 7 episodes exploring Marshall and Lily being single was too little.

Sweet taste of liberty is a great episode with some truly hilarious moments... the montage of Barney with suitcases and finishing with him coming out of one on CCTV still cracks me up every time

Rewatching the series I found Ted and Robin's relationship better than I remember it being in the first two seasons. But their relationship from season five onward is also a lot worse than I remember. As time goes on, it just becomes painful to see Ted chase Robin continuously.

Minor correction: the slap bet was not who could find out her secret. Marshall bet that she was married and Barney bet that she had done porn.

I would say season 4 or 5 is when they really hit their stride and provided funniest episodes.
If the show ended season 8, it would have been the best season. Everything is set in place for Ted to meet Tracy. All they had to do was have a final episode with Barney and Robin's wedding.

I think the moment I was fully sold on the show as Barney's finger-eyes gesture pictures on Ted's phone, which was in Sweet Taste of Liberty, so I wanted to protest as I was on the way to my INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MEETING.

[Ionknomen]

still my comfort show and comfort season even until now.

You know you do a lot of these breakdowns, and you should definitely do one for Scrubs, it's such an underrated show, for who knows what reason. It balances the comedy and seriousness so fluidly, especially for how goofy the dream sequences can get. It's an incredible show that doesn't get the love it deserves.

[Saquon_Deez]

How dare you? Sweet Taste of Liberty was genuinely funny.

[RobboEntertainment]

Upon seeing the title, my immediate thought was Season 2. Glad to be right!

[Temos]

"Purple girafe" and "Sweet taste of liberty" are both awesome episodes and i remember them the most. You can say they are clunky, maybe over the top, but definitively not forgettable.

[ppnaitor]

The problem with the first and second season is one: Robin. Because she is Ted's girlfriend (or future gf) she need to be "perfect" so we the audience can understand why he wants her. But later season she is more caotic and way way more funny. I think is something is similar with Rachel from friends, where she is this damsel in distress so Ross can be the hero, but after theirs relationship she becamos a more independent character and a more funny one

[samuxan]

For me season 5 was the best. When I went from "i like this show" to "it's my favourite sitcom". I considered epidodes like Definitions, The Playbook, The window, of course or Hooked the best and there isn't any bad one, maybe Duel Citizenship is the worst of the season but it still gave us the trip to chicago.

[darth_batman]

My favorite episode was Season 5, The Perfect Week. But looking back at this now, Season 2 did have a lot of great episodes.

[mmem]

Swarley, such a great ep, still makes me laugh.

[abrarbaig]

As much as I agree with your points, I would like to argue that season 3 is also a perfect season, in some sense more than 2. It has a perfect season with all banger episodes except for maybe "I'm not that Guy" even that has its moments. Also this is the first time the group literally breaks up more than once in a season & there are less fillers too.

[freddy]

Marshall wins the Slapbet, which is why he gets 5 slaps, not because of a technicality. Their bet was Barney saying it was porn and Marshall saying it wasn't porn.

1:47 sweet taste of liberty is AMAZING!!
