REVIEW: How I Met Your Mother: The Sexless Innkeeper
Last night’s How I Met Your Mother centered around Lily and Marshall’s double dating bad luck. They ask Robin and Barney to double date with them, and it is a disaster. Meanwhile, Ted works on picking up girls with his new “professor look,” or rather a tweed jacket.
This episode lacked in the plot department, but it was full of little comedic moments that were absolutely brilliant. The first came after the Lily/Marshall/Robin/Barney double date, where Robin mimes shooting her brains out, and Barney wipes the remains off his face. Another was Barney’s sexless innkeeper tale, and then subsequently Ted’s innkeeper tale. And I also really enjoyed at the end of the episode when Ted states “I love being single,” and Barney looks longingly at Ted’s date.
But the most amazing part of this episode was the “fake” website. In the past, there have been many awesome fake websites, my favorite of which would be slapcountdown.com. And with every website, the creative team at the show actually makes the site. The site from this episode is The Best Night Ever, a site that contains Marshall’s singing video montage of their double date. It is revealed that Marshall makes video montages for just about anything…ordering Chinese food, cat-sitting for Lily’s mom, and even the cat’s funeral. The video montages were hilarious, and on the actual site, you can see a music video of Marshall singing the Best Night Ever song with Nuno Betencourt.
So while this might not have been the best night ever (sorry, had to), it was filled with many great moments. I can’t wait until next week!
