Because this is the time of year for Top 10 lists, I thought it’d be only appropriate to end the year with one as well! Please note, these are not in any particular order. And the list includes suggestions that I received via Facebook and Twitter! Top 10 Moments on HIMYM in 2008 1 ) Naked Man! 2 ) Barney’s Holiday Tunes (from Bill via Facebook). 3 ) Marshall singing “Let’s Go to the Mall” karaoke-style at The Hoser Bar. 4 ) Robin and Barney hooking up. 5 ) The “Sandcastles in the Sand” video, complete with cameos by Alan Thicke and Tiffany. 6 ) When Robin is drunk and playing hockey in the apartment, Ted breaks up the girl fight, and Barney punches the wall (from @callmelydia via Twitter) 7 ) When Robin discovers the floors in Marshall and Lily’s new apartment are sloped. (Why was this so funny? Because when I moved into my apartment a few years ago, I MADE THE SAME DISCOVERY!) 8 ) Not A Father’s Day. 9 ) The Bracket. 10 ) Barney’s “Rebound Bro”, Randy, played brilliantly by SNL’s Will Forte. What were your favorite HIMYM moments in 2008? Be sure to share them in the comments below. Thanks for reading in 2008, and have a legendary 2009! Photo courtesy of CBS.com
It seems that as each day goes by, more and more of HIMYM’s famous lines are everywhere, in particular, what I refer to as “Stinsonisms”. What exactly is a “Stinsonism”? A word, phrase or concept created, used or made famous by Barney Stinson. For example, the word “Legendary”, the phrase “Suit up”, or the “Bro Code” would all be “Stinsonisms”. I first noticed it at a Starbucks, when their chalkboard said they were looking for “Legendary baristas”. Then the phrase “Wait for it” was used in 2 TV commercials over the past couple of months. And so many people are playing “Have you met …” including me and my friends. Then I used the phrase “Santa suit up” over the holidays. What’s your favorite “Stinsonism”? Do you find that they are creeping into your life, too? Photo courtesy of TVGuide.com
Neil Patrick Harris would be game. In an interview with AOL.com NPH had the following comments on the subject:
I think a musical episode might be a great addition to Season 5. The cast definitely has the skills. And I think Alyson Hannigan would be able to hold her own. After all, she was part of the infamous “Once More, With Feeling” episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. What are your thoughts? Would you like to see a musical episode of HIMYM?
I admit, it’s been far too long since the last new episode of How I Met Your Mother. If you’ve been missing the show as much as I have, here’s a little internet gem to entertain you. It’s Prop 8 - The Musical, featuring NPH! NPH has a fantastic voice, no matter what he sings: songs about shoes on Sesame Street, the sensational “Brand New Day” in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, and of course, his holiday classics on How I Met Your Mother!

How I Met Your Mother is proving to be THE force to be reckoned with for 2008. As if the highly amusing EW photo spread wasn’t enough, Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan and Cobie Smulders frolicked in their festive best on a recent cover of TV Guide. Here’s some video from TVGuide.com with a behind the scenes look at the photo shoot: I have to admit, I agree with Alyson Hannigan’s sentiment that a baby shouldn’t be written into the next season of HIMYM. Here’s hoping the writers are on the same wavelength. And NPH, for the record, I make a mean egg nog, so feel free to stop by for a holiday bender!
Barney Stinson’s latest blog post is a letter to Santa Claus. In case you ever wanted to know what this bro is hoping to find on Christmas morning, here’s his wish list:
Barney appears to really identify with Mr. Claus. After all, they do have a lot in common. Both wear suits, stuff stockings, and are awesome! Think Barney’s on Santa’s “naughty” or “nice” list?
I Love You, Man, the feature comedy starring Jason Segel, Paul Rudd and Rashida Jones, will make its debut at the SXSW Film Fest in Austin, Texas on March 13, 2009. This will be the second year in a row that one of Segel’s films will kick off SXSW - Forgetting Sarah Marshall had the same honor at the 2008 festival. In case you haven’t heard about this flick yet, here’s the summary, according to the IMDB:
I really enjoyed Forgetting Sarah Marshall, so I’m looking forward to this. If you won’t be able to see it at SXSW, it’ll be in theatres a week later, on March 20th. Photo courtesy of Variety.com
There are two places I get my comedy fix on a weekly basis - Monday nights with HIMYM, and Saturday nights with SNL. And on January 10, 2009, my comedy worlds will collide when Neil Patrick Harris becomes the first host of the new year on SNL! 2008 was definitely the “Year of NPH”, from his cameo in the Harold and Kumar sequel, to the internet sensation Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog, and of course his awesome portrayal of Barney Stinson on HIMYM. It appears that 2009 may just be another banner year for him, if the SNL hosting gig is an indicator of what the new year holds for him. Is anyone lucky enough to have tickets to SNL for January 10th? If you’re not one of the lucky few to be in NYC, will you be tuning in to SNL that night? You can be sure I’ll be tuned in!

Where else would Cobie Smulders become Carrie Bradshaw, Alyson Hannigan morph into Sarah Palin, or the trifecta of HIMYM hotness that is Josh Radnor, Jason Segel and Neil Patrick Harris impersonate teen heart throbs The Jonas Brothers? If you haven’t seen these photos yet, I highly suggest checking them out, and let me know which one is your fave. My vote? The Jonas Brothers, of course, for the pure hilarity factor, especially Smulders and Hannigan chasing behind the boys. Although the Indiana Jones photo is a close second.
This past Monday’s episode of How I Met Your Mother has proved once again that Barney Stinson is LEGENDARY! In the spirit of the holidays, Barney shared some of his favorite songs about giving - giving it to Ted’s sister Heather, that is! If you missed it, click on the video above. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this since Monday! So what are your thoughts on the musical stylings of Barney Stinson? Think you’ll be hearing these new holiday tunes at parties this weekend? |
