I love how Jason is laughing, but then immediately gets into character, but it's no surprise. That's a good actor for you. What pros! I love the HIMYM cast so much.
josh's little punch in time to their singing at 1:26 is so cute, he clearly has heard them do this so often that he knows exactly the beat where their singing starts to pick up intensity
They got farther on the Actors Studio version - also, Jason kept the right key in that one - However, this is still still still so freaking awesome... Almost 8 years ago when HIMYM was still in it's 'infancy' - Who'd have thunk it would've had a glorious 9 year run? (Well, except for that ending part, but HEY, you can write your own!!)
Gotta say, this is the kinda "confidence" of singing I wanted in the Les Mis film. Don't get me wrong, on the most part, I think Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman did well. But there were some times, especially when they weren't in musical number but moreso just "sing-talking" or when they first begin to get into a musical number, they kinda sounded...off. Like those people at karaoke who are a bit nervous or not used to singing with full force right off the cuff.
Agreed, this is more musical theater type performing and the movie was…well, more Hollywood movie type singing and who knows what it would have been like that they used theater actors
@@SCharlesDennicon Russel Crowe is an amazing actor but has a limited vocal range. If only they had Philip Quast as Javert in the movie and it would've been nearly perfect (Hugh Jackman, although with a wider vocal range and more experience, does have his issues as well).
I randomly started to sing Confrontation in the middle of my Drama lesson, and I was surprised to hear someone join in singing Valjean's part. I looked up and saw it was my Drama teacher. We sang it all. Best lesson ever? Yes.
I have seen this musical live and i think that this is one of the best songs and I think that How I Met My Mother is a great show. The best from two worlds!
During the face off between Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe I was seeing those two doing that scene. I'd completely forgotten that this is a Les Mis song and was waaaay too excited when I recognized it in the cinema... what can I say? Awesome song, awesome dudes.
Guys RED FLAG!!! I have just 1 word for this 9 seasons that's gone by all to fast! 1 - L 2 - E 3 - G 4 - E 5 - N 6 - D 7 - A 8 - R 9 - Y Sorry, sometimes I just can't wait for it.... That's Mr.Swarley's territory ^^. Love this show and all of you guys!
wow, that was awesome! especially the last part when they both sing at the same time. they should do that on an episode :) (best musical i've ever seen, btw...)
I saw Company at the NYPhilharmonic on Friday and the whole time NPH was signing, I thought "He'd be amazing in Les Mis!" Low and behold, I stumble across this! Freaking brilliant!
I will never get over Josh in the background. He enjoys his life so much omg.
he is just happy and surprised that he is on tv
can I ask if you are jewish?
No I am not, full on African American here! #SpaceJam
Space jam? @@marca8052
I wish they could have worked this into the show somehow. Like Ted drags them to Les Miserables and they ended up living it and memorized it
haha maybe when barney's doing his 'play' from season 2 - this aired just before they would have started working on the episode!
Probably too much money to license the song or something
I want to see them perform a full version of this sooooo badly
I love how every time someone starts the confrontation they immediately start singing it in an English accent.
The characters have English accents and American accents ruin it.
@@TheCosmerenaut1 um the plays set in France so they should have French accent
@@SammiPDanton Since it's set in France shouldn't they be singing in French?
Excellent. Neither one ever cracked a smile. They stayed totally in character. Brilliant on-the-spot a cappella performance.
0:29 that exchange of looks omg

I love Jason Segel's expression when NPH starts singing, like "My God are you really gonna make me do this?"
I really wanted to hear Jason go "I AM WARNING YOU JAVERT!!!" I like how he defaulted to the Colm Wilkinson impersonation.

the cast is just like, "You should see them doing all the other scenes. When Neil does Fantine's death we all get really emotional"
14 years later, I must say I found my favourite video ever, thank you. Just thank you.
This clip seriously never gets old.
And I thought I had seen every presentation of "LesMiz"; one of the best!
I love how I always come back to this after 15 years

Russell Crowe was so bad in the movie that NPH would have been a less bad choice of actor. :D
@@SCharlesDennicon Philip Quast is too much Javert for anyone to handle hehe
Agreed, this is more musical theater type performing and the movie was…well, more Hollywood movie type singing and who knows what it would have been like that they used theater actors
Given the fact that all of the actors were abused and it was managed by a dumbass, it doesn’t surprise me

1:27 classic shmosby
Hahaha yessss

WHY DID THEY CUT THEM OFF, They were about to go mental.
I can't believe Tammy 2 made Barney Stinson and Marshall Erikson sing Les Mis
Eriksen*
This is the best thing I've ever seen. Jason Segel & NPH are amazing.
Brilliant. Always makes me laugh, especially when Neil hits the table lol
AGH cut right before the most intense moment!! I would've loved to hear Jason burst into "I AM WARNING YOU, JAVERT!"
WHOA.... i never thought i'd live to hear NPH sing les mis...
i can die now.
i really loved the way neil sung it!!! just loved it and i cant stop singing that first part!!!
stop me from repeating it!!!
I found myself yelling "shut up!" at the audience. I wanted them to finish
I have seen this musical live and i think that this is one of the best songs and I think that How I Met My Mother is a great show. The best from two worlds!

I love that through this hole video, Neil has that little smile around his mouth.
This is the best thing I've ever seen. I want them to star in an actual production of Les Mis now.... :)
That was amazing! I am so happy right now, I couldn't stop smiling. I could watch those men singing 'til my dying day.
I think that Russell was amazing as Javert! I loved his voice
Yes. Just... Yes. Just, everything about this video was amazing!!!!
This is EPIC!!! It inspired us to post our own Confrontation video (a parody though). NPH is the real deal baby!
17 years later its still the best video ever
I love how Josh reaches for Jason's high five and she grabs his hand instead
I hope they still do this
Why dont we all just admit that we watched this with our phones , holding it with one hand...
This is AWESOME! Les Miserables and How I Met Your Mother! That Combination is Legand... Wait for it... Dary! Legendary!
The bro fist at the end made it xD
in love with them even more now!!!
I wanted to hear Jason Segel to sing "I AM WARNING YOU, JAVERT!"
Just saw Les Mis, I finally get this! And I love it even more.
People don’t realize how hard this song is to sing
Absolutely amazing!!!!! love those two!!!
0:30 the way they look into each others eyes 😂😂😂😂👌
i wish there was a hd version of this. i searched of it everywhere but couldn't find :(
crazy to think this was kinda normal resolution for youtube videos in 2006.
I JUST REALIZED THATS TAMMY 2
The first and only time i tuned into megan mullaly's show, and This is what I saw.
What great timing!
0:28 - the cutest smile
This combines two of my favorite things on this earth and OMG it was so awesome

I can watch this over and over again
My dream parks and rec and HIMYM crossover... kinda
This is the definition of awesome!

Awesometown. Wish they'd been able to finish as well :(
The pair of them are so talented.
"How badly can you mispronounce "Monsieur Le Mayor"?"
Neil Patrick Harris:

That was fantastically awesome!
Just awesome!!

(best musical i've ever seen, btw...)

There is literally nothing better than hearing Neil Patrick Harris do an impression of Inspector Javert.
BEST THING IVE WATCHED ALL YEAR
