[@brucefranklin6295]

...and also, Marshall can't take a good picture. He has his eyes closed in every picture.

[@BEASTINANNIEE]

The best!!!!

[@andrewdavids275]

not much of a joke. Ranjit the taxi driver was funnier than that

i can say it was the best

[@starship2143]

The “playbook” and “the naked man” should be in there as well

[@leonardoribeiro40]

Barney not being able to take a bad photo and the telepathic conversations were really good too.

Neither will we :)

[@Acidrain82]

when we finally find out what what Barney Stinson does for a living it was legen-- wait for it-- and I hope you're not lactose intolerant, because the second half of the word is-- dary! Legendary!

[@kamilkrupinski1793]

"Wait for it" should be no 1.

[@zhairmagne2702]

I agree to some extent. I didn't recognize the dearly when they said it was no. 1. XD I cannot remember it. While the "Legendary" should be also here, and of course , the Bro Code too.

[@zachb1344]

Also “the playbook” should have shown up somewhere

[@tawakaltoseni6095]

Exactly!

[@alexconte4339]

The pineapple in Ted's room and how it got there, was explained. Just not till the final season. It was from The Captains house. He puts out a pineapple outside his front door around Halloween. Ted snatches it while he's blackout drunk. Super Fan here 👍.

[@sarah5386]

But he didn't know the Captain yet so how did that happen? I thought there was an explanation though, just couldn't remember it, thanks!

[@jsh7939]

Sarah William Just happened to take it from The Captain’s house before they met.

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

The Pineapple Incident (S01E10) episode wasn't a Halloween episode, though, the Halloween episode for season 1 was S01E06 (the one where Ted is waiting for the slutty pumpkin). The pineapple was explained in a season 9 episode, but the scene with the explanation was cut. You can find it in the bonus material on the DVD box. The captain basically claims that it is an old seaman's tradition to put out a pineapple as a sign of hospitality, so he has one in front of his mansion and one in front of his townhouse in the city. After Ted got totally drunk he stole the pineapple from the townhouse, without knowing who the owner was.

[@alexgrey3083]

Yeah actually it's in a deleted SEASON 8 clip so not the last season and he left it outside his New York apartment building which just so happened to be the same one as Ted and Marshall's

[@trumpydog9441]

He left it outside as an old sailors tradition. They hadn't met at that point yet. The Captain is weird enough to leave a pineapple out and Ted was drunk enough to snatch it up. Lol

[@stacieshellenbarger9737]

What about them saluting when anyone said Major or General?

I literally jam out to that song on Spotify when I shower ❤️❤️🤪

It's also in Just Dance 3 I believe lol

reminds me of Friday by Rebecca Black.

THANK YOU! Not even on the list, OR an honorable mention!

[@michaelpluckebaum6108]

Slap bet is wayyyyy better than Swarley lol and Robin Sparkles should’ve been higher up too. They used that throughout the entire series

No! You got it all wrong.... the slap bet is number 1... Swarley is merely an honorable mention... I didn't even remember it

[@biazacha]

They also let out Robin screaming with Patrice, "Ted Mosby, Architect"...

[@emiliaespejo6913]

Completely agree!!

[@villadskbm2732]

If you didn’t remember Swarley, you haven’t watched the show enough times

[@jenniesslave4953]

Ginger FC I think the point of the comment was that it wasn’t memorable

[@johnspeed9275]

Thumbs Down for not remembering Swarley. I agree that Slap Bet should be number 1.

[@GTAnativeInXboxAndPlayStation]

The Slap Bet will FOREVER be my favorite How I Met Your Mother moment!

My favorite is for sure Robin yelling at Patrice

“Nobody asked you, Patrice!!”

Watched HIMYM before Friends. Later rewatching that Swarley episode, i had a theory that the "this would never happen at a bar!" line was a cheeky dig at Friends being centred on Central Perk. Also, Swarlize Theron. lol

I know. I wish Tracey was gonna show at the end of the story instead of finding out he’s been a widower the whole time.

[@lnalatruite9653]

I’m not agree

[@andrewdavids275]

thats because the show was never ever about how he actually met the kids mother. Problem is fans are stupid and started demanding an answer.

[@jhanagabriel7109]

Why fix barney for robin. Make them get married and then divorce. Just to make robin end up with ted when their old and gray.

[@Xan4591]

How is Slap Bet not number 1? There was even an entire episode in the last season about Marshall training to deliver the "Slap of 1000 Burning Suns." It even spanned pretty much the entire series. Much funnier than one-off Swarley

Come again for Big Fudge! Always came out of nowhere and got my laughing.

[@emmiegraves4051]

For those who don't know the pineapple was answered in a cut scene from the last season when the gang goes to the captains when they find out Lilly is pregnant. the pineapple was a connection to the captain seasons prior to his involvement. an old sailors tale is that a pineapple outside your home brings luck and protection while the sailors are at sea. he has a pineapple outside his home in Manhattan and his summer home upstate.

[@pend0825]

There is a delete scene in which Ted remembers why he had the pineapple, He was at the captain's house after finding Lilys pregnancy test and there was a pineapple on the door and it turns out it's an old captain's tradition, So ted took it from the captain's town house when he was drunk but didn't remember until the captain told him about it.
