the thing about Barney is that everyone knows that absolutely everything he says is absurd, that's what makes him so funny, and also, watching from the beginning and knowing his history with suits makes this episode a lot better
Barney is actually a very insecure person. There’s backstory revealed as to why this is, but I’ve alway felt like suits for him were almost like his version of armor. As long as he wore them, he would be okay. His over-the-top persona (well played by NPH) was a way for him to hide his insecurities, but they do address them throughout the show, and you get to see a more genuine side of him as well. So yes, while his character at first glance can seem very…concerning and somewhat disgusting, he’s also a very well-developed character over the course of the show. Just something to keep in mind if you ever decide to watch the full series.
There's also the fact that older-Ted (the narrator) VERY likely exaggerates Barney's personality and actions. Also the fact that usually the characters call Barney out on his misogyny -- it happened to be an episode where they didn't.
@@sarahlelys9268 but there's quite a lot of misogyny and other problematic stuff that doesn't get called out so Hannah and all the people who are talking about this do have a point
@@sarahlelys9268 I watched so much of this show recently, and misogyny really isn’t called out, the others just make fun of Barney’s failed attempts to get women. Not to mention they just make up rules about women.
I totally understand your dislike for Barney, especially when its just one episode. Barney is actually one of the best, if not the best character in HIMYM. So it was really interesting to hear from a new perspective. And when it comes to the singing. There is actually a bunch of singing and musical moments through the whole show. Like ALOT. HIMYM is one of my favourite shows so to see a reaction of any kind makes me happy. And I totally forgot how much I like this song haha.
Yeah, I mean it’s no secret he is realistically really horrible, but I never considered his actual impact and impression from just watching a random episode because it all seems kinda purposeful and calculated when you watch it in the right order, or maybe I’m just ignorant, I haven’t seen the whole thing in a while tbf
Agreed. I prefer the Episodes about Robins past, where it turns out she was a Canadian teen pop star. “Lets go to the Mall”, “Sandcastles in the Sand” and “P.S. I love you”
there are so many himym music moments that you should check out!! (as a canadian i suggest let’s go to the mall LOL) & i totally get hating barney on your first watch but his character gets a deeper backstory throughout the show and becomes one of the most likeable! (a lot of times his character’s absurdity and gross actions are denounced by the other characters) but there are definitely some outdated moments because it was filmed 15 years ago at this point anyway just a himym fan here!! hope you check out some other episodes! :)
I feel like if you had watched the whole show it would've been way more legendary. And honestly, Neil Patrick Harris has an AMAZING vocal range, I can assure you that. One of his best performances was in glee. He performed "dream on", I'm telling you it was awsome.
I'm honestly really upset by this review because I wanted to see a more in depth reaction to NPH's singing voice, and instead I got Hannah shitting all over one of my favorite TV shows...lol. I understand that you can't know everything about his character arc from one episode, but damn
This is literally all she does, she makes more comments about hair, make up, and the fact that she is bored than actual vocals. She watched the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode (widely regarded as the gold standard for TV show musical episodes) and called it dumb for having witches, a demon (who she insisted on calling Satan though he was just a demon), and complained that she didn't understand despite skipping the recap and knowing that without watching the previous seasons of the show that there would be a lot that she doesn't understand. The 'Vocal Coach' thing feels like clickbait at this point, and to cover the fact that all she does is sit in front of a camera and complain about everything without trying to understand the context of what she is watching.
himym has a lot of musical moments, this is the biggest one tho, and i think the one that took the most amount of work cause of the 100th episode, i'm super biased cause i love himym, but i love this number so much i have it memorized
@@haleyanne86 there‘s the one song about the super date by ted where JLO was there too and also the one with the multiple teds and barney‘s from different times where they sing together
@@haleyanne86 you just got slapped, super date, marshall vs machines, robin sparkles/daggers, and there's a lot of little ones, like marshall's emails, robin being treat better cause she's pretty, barney and ted harmonizing wiith their future selfs, things like that, it doesn't take up a lot of the episodes, but there's a lot of little things
@@haleyanne86 going off of Leticia's reply, they also have: - murder train - tracy singing la vie en rose - Marvin's bedtime song - the puzzles theme song - Marshall and his funk band with other lawyers - not just Marshall's version of you just got slapped but also the boyz to men version too - ted singing in that barbershop quartet - Marshall and barney singing 'my blitzy lies over the ocean' - its kinda a sparkles adjacent but 'two beavers' - drunk ted singing to robin in season one - the bangity bang song - barney's "barney is awesome' song - happy happy lily day - the whole scene when barney's brother found his dad and barney kept singing with them - barney's past self of being a peace core guy - barney singing ' when a man loves a women' to nora - Nora and barney's mom singing 'my favorite things' - that song about barney and robin's relationship when they were on the boat in season 7 - barney's family "back to together" song with his dad and barney's brother's dad - lin munuel miranda's rap in season 9 - tracy's English muffin song there's a lot...
This show honestly gets better, and I know he’s the worst, but Barney is SUPPOSED to be like, the worst human ever. You’re MEANT to find him disgusting, but his character also has so much depth that’s really cool to see when it shows itself. He’s also hilarious and no one could’ve done better than NPH. Edit: I legit came back after a day and had nearly 400 likes holy moly
Youre meant to hate that you love him cause even through being literally a scumbag “but your satan!” hes arguably the most human and has the most heart
This is the 100th episode Barney it is what it is.. he has growth.. but thank goodness himym was not created in a time when everything has to be so politically correct..
Given that Alison Hannigan is well known for her role as Willow in Buffy, one of the early out of the closest gay characters in tv, I’m pretty sure that was the joke from the beginning. Alison might’ve even been the one to suggest it.
This is definitely one that benefits from watching the entire show. Firstly, it's the 100th episode, hence the revelations about the Mother and the big, random musical number. Secondly, suits make up a good 75% of Barney's personality, so the premise of the song, despite being ridiculous, makes perfect sense for his character. Thirdly, even though Barney's deplorable, that's kind of the point of his character. There are reasons why he is the way he is and he's actually a good person underneath it all. He actually has some amazing character development over the course of the show. On another note, If you're game for more HIMYM, I'd love to see you react to a compilation of the three "Robin Sparkles" songs, especially Let's Go to the Mall.
@@lionmuesli4321 well yes but it's not real life and obviously wayyy to exaggerated for a real person, however his character development is really big (well if they hadn't ruined the end of the show)
@@celinavinzens4043 ALSO people don't remember we're watching the entire show/getting to know the characters through Ted's perspective. & Ted is a massively unreliable narrator! So, yes, Barney probably sucked but Barney also was married to the woman Ted is in love with soooo it's probably exaggerated to make him look bad... 🤷♀
Marshal singing "You just got slapped" is the best musical moment of the show. I also had a hard time stomaching Barney but i also think that since Ted is an unreliable narrator, that he isnt actually that bad, its just that ted thinks he's super gross and whats people to like him better so he makes him look really bad in comparison. but thats just me xD
@@moiff_ I didn't use it as an excuse to like Barney, I don't like his character, I'm just saying I think it's a cool theory 🤷 his character arc is interesting though
@@AliceTheChaosWitch yeah I know. I am sorry. I was actually referring to the people who use that theory with that purpose. I've seen it everywhere so I am just angry at this point lol.
@@moiff_ I've seen it to explain that actually Marshal is abusive towards Lily and that why he's always hitting her "by mistake" and it's because Ted doesn't want to admit that Marshal just hit her. Kind of far fetched but still concerning 😂
There’s actually more musics moments in the show :D you’d probably love the mother’s version of La Vie En Rose or literally anything Robin sings from her pop star days
Hannah, I love you but you shouldnt have watched a HIMYM episode without context. You need to watch every episode leading up to this one to understand. I love how I met your mother...it absolutely brilliant. Though a lot of the jokes in it are disgusting, it's mostly Barney telling them. The rest of the group even question why they're friends with him. You should watch a compilation of everytime they sang. I gotta be honest though...dont really like that you're so critical of shows that you dont understand the context of and havent watched. Every How I met your mother episode is taken out of context...its just funny that way. Idk you make every character look so embarrassing and it kinda hurts me because HIMYM is my comfort show :/ I really didnt expect you to completely shit on himym.
i feel the same way bc this is totally one of my comfort shows and i wasn’t expecting to feel so judged for being a fan. i can’t imagine anyone watched the show because they were a fan of barney. we watched because neil patrick harris is awesome. because neil patrick harris was perfect at portraying a misogynistic asshole with daddy issues who loves suits. we loved him for now bizarre his character was. for how insane he was. i can’t think of many people who could play this character the way nph did. without him the show would’ve been entirely too bland and boring. his crazy antics and debauchery are what made it such a memorable show.
It can still be your comfort show and you can still realize it’s problematic. I’ve seen the entire show and stand by this. You don’t have to stop liking it, but it really doesn’t need defending.
TBF. Barney has a awesome character arc over the whole series and his "getting laid"-methods are sooo over the top that it's basically a parody of that kind of men - I'd really like to know what you think about every episode of HIMYM! ^^
Barney is a very complex character actually and had one of the best character developments - if we ignore the series finale tbh. And let’s not forget that Barney is literally a parody of that type of man. But I understand how some jokes didn’t age well
Context. Context is key. I'll never understand that trend of watching things without it. Barney is a fantastic character, you're meant to dislike him, but it gives his positive character arch that much more weight and value. I was disappointed with the ending of the series, but the character progress throughout the seasons before that was great (except maybe Ted's, the main character telling the story of how he met his children's mother). Other than that, happy to get another video from you Hannah, I really hope you react to some other musical clips from HIMYM 😄
Exactly. Her video would've been alot more enjoyable if she would've gotten out of her feelings. It's a darn character and there is a thing called development. The irony is if she actually watched the whole thing she'd realize Barney grows and turns out to be the least misogynistic character. Ted on the other hand....😂
@@Mistyfaery I'm sure he gets tons of character development and he gets better, but his jokes this episode were gross. like no amount of context makes them okay. great if the _stops_ being gross but still
Then don't watch it. I couldn't get into Game of Thrones because all of the excessive nude scenes. So I didn't watch it. I didn't shame others for appreciating the characters. Just wasn't my cup of tea. 🤷♀️ How I met your mother clearly rubs you the wrong way So why watch anything about it?
@@Mistyfaery i didn't know, just like she didn't know, that it would rub me the rong way - otherwise we both probably would have avoided it. i will in the future, but hindsight is 20/20. and once she is watching it's normal that she'll give her opinion based on what she is seeing, not some hypothetical character development she can't possibly know about. she didn't bash anyone for enjoying the show, she just commented something that objectively making her uncomfortable
It’s very well known in the show that Barney is an actual monster but also a fan favourite because he’s arguably the most iconic sitcom character of all time since his whole character is basically an over exaggerated parody - and Neil Patrick Harris is amazing in the role, I don’t think anybody could have done it as well as him. He also has significant character development and growth throughout the series
This wasn't supposed to be a musical episode, it was just something fun for their 100th episode. Jason Segel and Neil Patrick Harris did sing the Confrontation from Les Mis together in an interview if you want full on musical theatre. But if you want a really pretty musical moment from the HIMYM it should be Tracy singing La Vie En Rose. For Lily and Marshall it would be the Don't Go Breaking My Heart from the karaoke episode. Thank you for suffering through this for the Hannah Hive xxx
Yeah, if the show would've dropped in today's day and age then people would've "cancelled" it or hate-watched so that it continues for several seasons more. The whole point of Barney's character is just being misogynistic and disgusting. I mean he had a huge list of people he had sex with and a special episode for number whatever on his list. Loved the show cuz it's iconic. I understand why some might not find it funny but the other characters often call him out too. It's also more interesting if you get into why he is who he is. Trauma, commitment issues, compulsive lying, low self-esteem behind a confident facade etc. etc.
Barney wasn't the only problem. He was just *the most* sexist. Basically anything Ted post Victoria was pretty sexist and everything with Robin's love life and career was largely that way. Not to mention a lot of Robin's stuff was pretty racist, but I guess if it's against Canadians that makes it okay.
Yeah, he's supposed to be like that and yeah he gets called out on it but not enough and there's much more problematic to this show (eg. slut shaming, homophobic and transphobic jokes and much more that wouldn't be accepted in today's society and rightfully so)
HIMYM is one of my comfort shows and I’ve watched all the way through so many times. You kinda have to know the characters to understand this episode. Barney is gross but you’ve got to know him to appreciate him. I wouldn’t have called it a ‘musical episode’. The show has many musical moments (my favourite is the ‘you just got slapped’ song from the thanksgiving episode). But I guess some people aren’t suited to sit-coms and that’s ok!
Barney is supposed to be skeevy in this. He is a "bro". He has a book of rules called the "Bro Code". It started in 2005 and went to 2014 and I must say much of it does not stand up well in the 2020s, especially after Epstein, Me Too, and of course the most recent ex-president of the US. What I find most amazing is that I couldn't find an actor that seems more diametrically opposed to their role in real life than NPH and Barney.
This was not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting a commentary on the singing and vocals, not a nit-picking criticism of one of the best sitcoms ever. This video was a bit of a disappointment ngl 💀
You can't judge a show for having a musical number about suits when suits are literally a huge part of the character singing it. You can't just call it "weird" because they didn't do it like how you thought they would. I know you've never seen the show, but maybe for the future have someone who's seen it give you the basics before you watch an episode. As someone who loves the show, it's hard seeing you tear it apart when you know nothing about it.
Also how are you going to say "I know they filmed in front of a live studio audience" but still be like "Why are they standing like that?" when all sitcoms especially from this time period, like Friends and that 70s show are filmed like that with the characters in that circle thingy.
watching from the begining and knowing the history of the relationship with barney and suits makes the episode way more better, i am sad that you didn’t like it but i understand why🥺
barney’s character is supposed to be someone you hate. he’s an asshole and that’s the whole point. his friends give him crap for it almost every single episode. this was a milestone episode. i think the 100th so they made it special by adding the musical element. there’s lots of musical elements tied into the show but this is one of the biggest they ever did.
This episode was pretty meh. You should react to Robin's fictional musical career. She was a Canadian teen pop star a la Alanis Morissette. "Let's Go To the Mall", "Sandcastles in the Sand" and "PS I Love You ". And then for fun, "You Just Got Slapped..."
Honestly I kinda wanted Hannah's opinion on the cast's voices -- especially Marshall because I feel like he's really talented at singing, but I know nothing of singing. I'm pretty sure Robin isn't actually a very good singer, but Marshall sounds like one.
@@sarahlelys9268 marshall (jason segel) and ted (josh radnor) both have lovely voices, and i do believe josh is actually a musician now - marshall has a lot of musical moments (like you just got slapped, or little singing gags in certain episodes) but ted and barney do the most singing i think (superdate, for the longest time, etc.) and it would be nice to see what hannah thinks of them.
@@sarahlelys9268 she didn't comment on anything about the number.. 😆 what a misleading title I just saw this video, to someone bash one of my fav shows haha
@@angelacarrerarivera To be fair to Hannah, her audience made her watch an entire episode when she only had to watch three minutes of it, and I love HIMYM but it IS pretty misogynistic and if you don't know the entire story of the previous 100 episodes you'd just be shocked. Those things aren't everyone's cup of tea and Hannah was obviously very distressed by what she saw, I'm willing to give her a pass on that one, it's fine.
@@parryhotter1604 yeah sometimes you gotta turn off your "wokeness". But being terrible is literally the point of Barney's character, especially with his background story
The way you’re responding to this episode is how many people react to musicals. “Why are they standing like that?” “That’s not natural!” “That is so awkward.” Sitcoms are like musicals: you need to suspend belief and just enjoy yourself. It’s the equivalent of saying “Why is everyone singing? People don’t just sing in real life!”
HIMYM is a show you have to watch from the beginning because a lot of the jokes and story comes from the audience trusting the characters and knowing that they are all slowly improving over time so we go on a journey with each of them.
This is definitely down to context, not having any context to the characters would give you this impression. Barney Stinson being a misogynist is a big part of his character and eventually his redemption. Not a fan of musicals, yet, this is one of my favourite episodes.
Barney may be....well, barney, but this show and these characters seriously mean a lot to me. It combined comedy, friendship, and genuine heartfelt moments and I love all of the characters and cast 💕
What the fu..?? I just watched a whole video of the vocal coach just to hear "I like Neil's voice"??? That's all? No analyses, no vocal tecnique examination?????? just waste of time
this episode makes so much more sense when you understand their history and what every character is going through. and we all know barney sucks, but it's barney and we love him. (and you also missed a lot of references so there's that)
In How I Met Your Mother Cobie Smulders plays a character who was a teenage popstar in Canada and in the show there were a couple of original songs of her. I Think you could react to some of those
Ted's comment about Robin in the bar was not misogyny Robin is just full of herself and thinks she is the most attractive woman in every room she's in, it's an established character trait of hers
I actually love that you hated this so much🤣🤣 The show really lucked out by getting Neil to play Barney. His character never would have been so popular if he hadn't been so damn charming🤣 I disagree with everyone in the comments though, he gets a sad backstory yes! And he gets a lot of character development but throughout every season of the show he remains an entitled preditor and womaniser. That never changes. I would however love for you to react to Ted and Barney singing 'For the longest time' It's so lovely.
So are we ignoring when he fell in love with nora and robin and had genuine true relationships (yes he cheated on nora but that was his first real relationship since his like late teens early 20s) and then yea the finale wasnt great but his daughter was the best thing to come from it and he completely turned his life around yes hes terrible for the majority of the show but it does change he does have a lot of heart i dont think its necessarily fair to say he never changes
@@chandlernelson7055 I'm just going to highlight one thing you said in your response. "Yes, he cheated on Nora" This is like the Joey from Friends situation. Just because he would never hurt his friends, doesn't mean he wasn't a womaniser. Don't get me wrong they're both still great characters. They're also both shit characters
@@Orah90 I totally agree with you! I am tired of the whole HIMYM fandom defending Barney. He was a good friend but also misogynistic AND a predator AS HELL.
you are too serious about HIMYM. Barney is my love from the season 1 and he is a good actor (i mean Neil Patrick Harris) his jokes are so rude offensive and dumb that its postirony (also its the Ted's story so he makes barney a disgusting person in front of his kids). What makes this whole chaos of HIMYM become someones favourite series (mines too) is that it is full of dumb jokes and this series (as i believe) is like a parody of other sitcoms.
I would love for you to react to anything from "tick, tick... boom." It's Andrew Garfield's first foray into singing (and the first time he'd sung in front of people!) but it's truly extraordinary and I'd love to know what you think about it. You could react to the clip of 30/90, you could react to No More, or literally any of the songs you can find clips for. The clip for 30/90 is considerably shortened because... movies do that, I guess, but it's still a load of fun!
Girl, the whole point of Barney’s character is that he is sexist and absurd!!!! He’s like Johnny Bravo. He then undergoes massive character development and learns to be a better, more mature person.
You can't watch one episode of how i met your mother without all context behind it. for exemple the joke about lily being bissexual is somethig that happens all the time in the show. you have to watch everything to understand one episode.
Funny thing is, Barney is a really well-rounded character. He does scummy things, but he's not a bad person at his core. He's super insecure and acts cocky and horrible to over-compensate. This show really is amazing and you can't watch a lot of episodes out of context or you won't understand the characters as well. They also make fun of how terrible he is a lot. And he has major character development and growth. So, on the surface, all the stuff you hate about him is seemingly true. But when you watch all 9 seasons, he's really way more than meets the eye Edit: Also, Barney is super into his suits. That's why the musical number is so absurd. It's a big trait of his character. And HIMYM does lean into the goofy stuff like this. There are multiple musical numbers throughout the series and they're all great
Loads of people have said it, but that's totally the normal reaction to Barney. He's a caricature of masculine insecurity. (He also gets like, the best character development I've ever seen in a sitcom. Until the epilogue.)
It is important to understand that Barney's personality is exaggerated for the comedy and for his character development throughout the show. He goes from this predatory sex pest designed for humor and outrage to a more tolerable guy who has multiple long term relationships, and he even marries robin towards the end of the show. There are multiple musical numbers in the show, not all involving Barney. The Robin sparkles bits and the marshall musical video messages are some highlights. I personally enjoyed the show completely throughout but I do understand the issues you will have had when only watching one very Barney focussed episode when there are many that are not focused on him and are excellent and he also has many enjoyable points throughout.
My condolences if your parents react in a similar way. In my opinion this borders on psychosis. How can you take these innocous scenes and interpret them in such a ludacris way. Everythings mysoginist and discriminating these days, what a load of bull.
The bigger thing about Barney was that they kind of broke the 4th wall with his attraction to women, because he had recently come out as gay, so they decided to really put him over the top problematic straight
Head's up! Other people have said it, but there's a whole gag about Robin and her secret past as a Canadian pop star, you should make a video reacting to her songs because they're iconic
Misogyny? I click on this video cuz I wanted to see your reaction to Barney singing but please don't do the snowflake thing. I get it. You think there's a lot of social justice boys out there, and reality they're like 5% of the world. Most of us think that's annoying and stupid and just enjoy entertainment for what it is without reading too much into it. Don't be one of the easily offended types it's not cute.
You should try Community, they have a musical episode that is part glee parody and part Christmas episode. There’s a lot more singing in that one. (And personally I think it’s a better sitcoms that himym, the humor is more clever and there’s no laugh track)
I may be six months late but my favorite part of this entire show is when the mother sings la vie en rose. Still one of my favorite and most watched scenes. I literally watch it all the freaking time.
I would Barney, like me, would be Hannah’s favorite character. He’s the damaged bad boy with a heart of gold. Also, he gets all the best lines. I like raunchy and dark humor and that’s all Barney.
There’s no specific musical episode of the show, but there are a bunch of musical numbers in various episodes. Robin was actually a popstar in Canada! She sang three songs :-) Plus the beaver song.
himym honestly is a full blown experience and you need all of it to find it funny and enjoy it (coming from someone who watches the show at least 7 times every year)
I have to say though, don’t take out your anger on sitcoms. How I Met Your Mother is an exception, Brooklyn 99 is one of the greatest shows ever. Modern Family is great. Community is another one
@@ezql_ No, HIMYM is problematic start to finish, it’s got a lot of funny jokes and some characters grow on you (I’ve seen the whole show) but it’s hella problematic.
i love seeing people's reactions to barney. You really have to watch the whole show to understand his character, i mean, from this episode he looks like a total douche (which ,lets be real, he is) but if you watch the whole show, you really see him change as a character and find who he really is. I love how the writers have done this :)
Actually I love it when shows explain their jokes. It makes me feel less stupid if my fibro brain-fog is on overtime and I just cannot understand what just happened.
If you want to react to Neil Patrick Harris with something less problematic you should look at Dr Horrible! It's probably my favourite musical and it's all on TH-cam too!
They dont really have a dedicated Musical Episodes, but they have songs here and there throughout the seasons :) Robin singing: "Let's go to the mall" - "Sandcastles in the sand" - "P.S I love you" - The beaver Song Barney: "Suits" Ted: "Super-date" Tracy: "La Vie En Rose" And probably a few others I forget :)
Bruh you watched one episode from the middle of the series without knowing any context or even trying to do a background check on the characters and you're eye-rolling and complaining because the episode and the song confused you ? Really ? 🙄
So much yes to what everyone is saying about Barney. That's his character - the skeevy guy that you hate. But his character works with the other characters, it wouldn't have been the same without him. It's actually a really funny show! Yes, it's a sitcom and the fake audience might laugh more than you do. But there were parts that had me truly laughing out loud - and I'm not talking just a giggle! Like > 😂 For me most shows are about getting to know the characters and the dynamics between them. I think a lot of the jokes are kind of "you had to be there". Meaning they are funnier if you know the characters personalities and have seen previous shows so that you know more of the history behind the joke. You should watch from the beginning and give it a chance. Then again - a ton of people love The Big Bang Theory and I so don't. So, maybe what gives me a good belly laugh might not do the same for you. 🙂
If you want a good musical that shows off NPH's voice, Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. His character has some NiceGuy Syndrome(TM) going on, but the songs are FANTASTIC. Whole movie is only an hour-ish, so it wouldn't be too hard to cover. Plus! Nathan Fillion. 💕
Idk if you can judge his whole character through one episode but the show itself is really good and Barney is a character you're supposed to actually hate when you see him, Neil is awesome tho just sayin
So many people in the comments section trying to excuse Barney's character because of his "trauma" and "character development". Give me a break 😂 this episode is way into season 5 and having a shitty childhood doesn't excuse treating women like objects to be won. He also actively manipulates Robin in the months leading up to their engagement, it's seriously messed up, y'all cannot possibly pin this on "times have changed". It was always hideous behaviour and it was only 10 years ago
Okay I've never even seen this show but its pretty clear that the character is meant to be a jerk she judged way too much over that and let that affect her entire reaction
It's honestly one of the most well-written sitcoms I've ever seen, the laugh track being an anomaly of it's time unfortunately, the whole "live performance" act really takes away from the show-- your initial dislike of Barney makes total sense, you're not supposed to like him but he has some of the best character development and funniest moments in the show. Absolutely absurd episode lmfao.
the thing about Barney is that everyone knows that absolutely everything he says is absurd, that's what makes him so funny, and also, watching from the beginning and knowing his history with suits makes this episode a lot better
agree agree agree
Yessss
Agree
Agree .. HIMYM really MUST be watched in order ... jumping in the middle will make so little sense.
@@erikaclancy1187 also skip the last episode
I think it would’ve been better for you to find a compilation of all the musical moments cause they all are sooo fun!
definitely a compilation with robin sparkle songs included would have been much better for her to enjoy i think
That would be more fun
I watched a compilation once and they're all good, but Cat Funeral always sticks out to me as the silliest.
That's what I did for my mom lol she hates the show but loves the musical moments lol
Yeah the one with Ted and Barney... So fun
Barney is actually a very insecure person. There’s backstory revealed as to why this is, but I’ve alway felt like suits for him were almost like his version of armor. As long as he wore them, he would be okay. His over-the-top persona (well played by NPH) was a way for him to hide his insecurities, but they do address them throughout the show, and you get to see a more genuine side of him as well. So yes, while his character at first glance can seem very…concerning and somewhat disgusting, he’s also a very well-developed character over the course of the show. Just something to keep in mind if you ever decide to watch the full series.
There's also the fact that older-Ted (the narrator) VERY likely exaggerates Barney's personality and actions. Also the fact that usually the characters call Barney out on his misogyny -- it happened to be an episode where they didn't.
@@sarahlelys9268 : Very good points!
@@sarahlelys9268 but there's quite a lot of misogyny and other problematic stuff that doesn't get called out so Hannah and all the people who are talking about this do have a point
@@sarahlelys9268 I watched so much of this show recently, and misogyny really isn’t called out, the others just make fun of Barney’s failed attempts to get women. Not to mention they just make up rules about women.
Absolutely!
I totally understand your dislike for Barney, especially when its just one episode. Barney is actually one of the best, if not the best character in HIMYM. So it was really interesting to hear from a new perspective.
And when it comes to the singing. There is actually a bunch of singing and musical moments through the whole show. Like ALOT.
HIMYM is one of my favourite shows so to see a reaction of any kind makes me happy. And I totally forgot how much I like this song haha.
Yeah, I mean it’s no secret he is realistically really horrible, but I never considered his actual impact and impression from just watching a random episode because it all seems kinda purposeful and calculated when you watch it in the right order, or maybe I’m just ignorant, I haven’t seen the whole thing in a while tbf
This is all exactly what I would have said as well! I loveeee HIMYM so watching Hannah not enjoy it was so sad to me.😅
It's not even close, Barney makes the show. Without him no one would watch this show.
I liked him from Season 1
This is no "if not", Barney IS the best character in the show. He single handedly carried the entire series.
Agreed. I prefer the Episodes about Robins past, where it turns out she was a Canadian teen pop star. “Lets go to the Mall”, “Sandcastles in the Sand” and “P.S. I love you”
There’s also the beaver song
Yessssssss
She should react to robins songs
Classic
for real. she should maybe get some background on what the characters are like and then react to the other music
there are so many himym music moments that you should check out!! (as a canadian i suggest let’s go to the mall LOL) & i totally get hating barney on your first watch but his character gets a deeper backstory throughout the show and becomes one of the most likeable!
(a lot of times his character’s absurdity and gross actions are denounced by the other characters)
but there are definitely some outdated moments because it was filmed 15 years ago at this point
anyway just a himym fan here!! hope you check out some other episodes! :)
Hey Amanda! Love yr journalling vids
They explore the birth of grunge music. It's history.
100% agree with everything you said
Thank you !
Let’s go to the mall! Today today today todayyyyy 🤩
I feel like if you had watched the whole show it would've been way more legendary. And honestly, Neil Patrick Harris has an AMAZING vocal range, I can assure you that. One of his best performances was in glee. He performed "dream on", I'm telling you it was awsome.
"leg-en-dary legendary!" love the barney reference!
@@amoolia0 glad someone noticed
I love you for the „legendary“
@@milly9833 thank you for noticing
Omg omg omg yesssss dream on is AWESOME
I'm honestly really upset by this review because I wanted to see a more in depth reaction to NPH's singing voice, and instead I got Hannah shitting all over one of my favorite TV shows...lol. I understand that you can't know everything about his character arc from one episode, but damn
Yeah such a shitty reaction from Hannah the "vocal coach".
Kinda true😅 I mean she's a vocal coach, she should react to the vocals and singing voices
Hell yeah!
Lmao she does this a lot, calls herself a vocal coach and posts reactions without any feedback on the vocals
This is literally all she does, she makes more comments about hair, make up, and the fact that she is bored than actual vocals. She watched the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode (widely regarded as the gold standard for TV show musical episodes) and called it dumb for having witches, a demon (who she insisted on calling Satan though he was just a demon), and complained that she didn't understand despite skipping the recap and knowing that without watching the previous seasons of the show that there would be a lot that she doesn't understand. The 'Vocal Coach' thing feels like clickbait at this point, and to cover the fact that all she does is sit in front of a camera and complain about everything without trying to understand the context of what she is watching.
himym has a lot of musical moments, this is the biggest one tho, and i think the one that took the most amount of work cause of the 100th episode, i'm super biased cause i love himym, but i love this number so much i have it memorized
Name one other episode where they sang on himym, because I don't think that there were any other ones...
@@haleyanne86 there‘s the one song about the super date by ted where JLO was there too and also the one with the multiple teds and barney‘s from different times where they sing together

@@bethanylavallee3709 dang...how did I miss all of those! It's been awhile since I've watch HIMYM that I completely forgot! 🤦♀️
This show honestly gets better, and I know he’s the worst, but Barney is SUPPOSED to be like, the worst human ever. You’re MEANT to find him disgusting, but his character also has so much depth that’s really cool to see when it shows itself. He’s also hilarious and no one could’ve done better than NPH.
Edit: I legit came back after a day and had nearly 400 likes holy moly
Neil is amazing.
Youre meant to hate that you love him cause even through being literally a scumbag “but your satan!” hes arguably the most human and has the most heart
Okay but she’s gotta react to scrubs!!!!!!!!
@@chandlernelson7055 😂Exactly
This is the 100th episode Barney it is what it is.. he has growth.. but thank goodness himym was not created in a time when everything has to be so politically correct..
hannah: "baby i think you're bi" oh she's definitely bi they just never adress it
More like played off as a joke which is more annoying in my opinion but yes
Given that Alison Hannigan is well known for her role as Willow in Buffy, one of the early out of the closest gay characters in tv, I’m pretty sure that was the joke from the beginning. Alison might’ve even been the one to suggest it.
90% of women is bi they just mostly pref men
This is definitely one that benefits from watching the entire show. Firstly, it's the 100th episode, hence the revelations about the Mother and the big, random musical number. Secondly, suits make up a good 75% of Barney's personality, so the premise of the song, despite being ridiculous, makes perfect sense for his character. Thirdly, even though Barney's deplorable, that's kind of the point of his character. There are reasons why he is the way he is and he's actually a good person underneath it all. He actually has some amazing character development over the course of the show.
On another note, If you're game for more HIMYM, I'd love to see you react to a compilation of the three "Robin Sparkles" songs, especially Let's Go to the Mall.
only watching one episode I get why you hate barney but watching the whole show everyone loves him lmao
thiiiiiiis. he's by FAR my favorite character, even though he sucks haha
@@hayley74936 same
I don't get why though. He is really problematic.
@@lionmuesli4321 well yes but it's not real life and obviously wayyy to exaggerated for a real person, however his character development is really big (well if they hadn't ruined the end of the show)
@@celinavinzens4043 ALSO people don't remember we're watching the entire show/getting to know the characters through Ted's perspective. & Ted is a massively unreliable narrator! So, yes, Barney probably sucked but Barney also was married to the woman Ted is in love with soooo it's probably exaggerated to make him look bad... 🤷♀
Marshal singing "You just got slapped" is the best musical moment of the show. I also had a hard time stomaching Barney but i also think that since Ted is an unreliable narrator, that he isnt actually that bad, its just that ted thinks he's super gross and whats people to like him better so he makes him look really bad in comparison. but thats just me xD
i hate that theory lol everyone uses to justify liking barney. He is just disgusting
@@moiff_ I didn't use it as an excuse to like Barney, I don't like his character, I'm just saying I think it's a cool theory 🤷 his character arc is interesting though
@@AliceTheChaosWitch yeah I know. I am sorry. I was actually referring to the people who use that theory with that purpose. I've seen it everywhere so I am just angry at this point lol.
@@moiff_ I've seen it to explain that actually Marshal is abusive towards Lily and that why he's always hitting her "by mistake" and it's because Ted doesn't want to admit that Marshal just hit her. Kind of far fetched but still concerning 😂
@@AliceTheChaosWitch gosh what the heck. Marshall is the sweetest.
There’s actually more musics moments in the show :D
you’d probably love the mother’s version of La Vie En Rose or literally anything Robin sings from her pop star days
Hannah, I love you but you shouldnt have watched a HIMYM episode without context. You need to watch every episode leading up to this one to understand. I love how I met your mother...it absolutely brilliant. Though a lot of the jokes in it are disgusting, it's mostly Barney telling them. The rest of the group even question why they're friends with him. You should watch a compilation of everytime they sang.
I gotta be honest though...dont really like that you're so critical of shows that you dont understand the context of and havent watched. Every How I met your mother episode is taken out of context...its just funny that way. Idk you make every character look so embarrassing and it kinda hurts me because HIMYM is my comfort show :/
I really didnt expect you to completely shit on himym.
i feel the same way bc this is totally one of my comfort shows and i wasn’t expecting to feel so judged for being a fan. i can’t imagine anyone watched the show because they were a fan of barney. we watched because neil patrick harris is awesome. because neil patrick harris was perfect at portraying a misogynistic asshole with daddy issues who loves suits. we loved him for now bizarre his character was. for how insane he was. i can’t think of many people who could play this character the way nph did. without him the show would’ve been entirely too bland and boring. his crazy antics and debauchery are what made it such a memorable show.
It can still be your comfort show and you can still realize it’s problematic. I’ve seen the entire show and stand by this. You don’t have to stop liking it, but it really doesn’t need defending.
fr she was judging so hard
@@spemka …that’s the point. Barney is a dick, the show never defends his behavior. He is actively shown to be in the wrong
Exactly,
TBF. Barney has a awesome character arc over the whole series and his "getting laid"-methods are sooo over the top that it's basically a parody of that kind of men - I'd really like to know what you think about every episode of HIMYM! ^^
Barney is a very complex character actually and had one of the best character developments - if we ignore the series finale tbh. And let’s not forget that Barney is literally a parody of that type of man. But I understand how some jokes didn’t age well
Context. Context is key. I'll never understand that trend of watching things without it. Barney is a fantastic character, you're meant to dislike him, but it gives his positive character arch that much more weight and value. I was disappointed with the ending of the series, but the character progress throughout the seasons before that was great (except maybe Ted's, the main character telling the story of how he met his children's mother).
Other than that, happy to get another video from you Hannah, I really hope you react to some other musical clips from HIMYM 😄
Exactly. Her video would've been alot more enjoyable if she would've gotten out of her feelings. It's a darn character and there is a thing called development. The irony is if she actually watched the whole thing she'd realize Barney grows and turns out to be the least misogynistic character. Ted on the other hand....😂
@@Mistyfaery I'm sure he gets tons of character development and he gets better, but his jokes this episode were gross. like no amount of context makes them okay. great if the _stops_ being gross but still
Then don't watch it. I couldn't get into Game of Thrones because all of the excessive nude scenes. So I didn't watch it. I didn't shame others for appreciating the characters. Just wasn't my cup of tea. 🤷♀️ How I met your mother clearly rubs you the wrong way So why watch anything about it?
@@Mistyfaery i didn't know, just like she didn't know, that it would rub me the rong way - otherwise we both probably would have avoided it. i will in the future, but hindsight is 20/20. and once she is watching it's normal that she'll give her opinion based on what she is seeing, not some hypothetical character development she can't possibly know about. she didn't bash anyone for enjoying the show, she just commented something that objectively making her uncomfortable
@@celestefieramonti it must be so hard to be you.
It’s very well known in the show that Barney is an actual monster but also a fan favourite because he’s arguably the most iconic sitcom character of all time since his whole character is basically an over exaggerated parody - and Neil Patrick Harris is amazing in the role, I don’t think anybody could have done it as well as him. He also has significant character development and growth throughout the series
Her reaction prooves that context is everything hahahah
This wasn't supposed to be a musical episode, it was just something fun for their 100th episode.
Jason Segel and Neil Patrick Harris did sing the Confrontation from Les Mis together in an interview if you want full on musical theatre.
But if you want a really pretty musical moment from the HIMYM it should be Tracy singing La Vie En Rose.
For Lily and Marshall it would be the Don't Go Breaking My Heart from the karaoke episode.
Thank you for suffering through this for the Hannah Hive xxx
Yeah, if the show would've dropped in today's day and age then people would've "cancelled" it or hate-watched so that it continues for several seasons more. The whole point of Barney's character is just being misogynistic and disgusting. I mean he had a huge list of people he had sex with and a special episode for number whatever on his list. Loved the show cuz it's iconic. I understand why some might not find it funny but the other characters often call him out too. It's also more interesting if you get into why he is who he is. Trauma, commitment issues, compulsive lying, low self-esteem behind a confident facade etc. etc.
Barney wasn't the only problem. He was just *the most* sexist. Basically anything Ted post Victoria was pretty sexist and everything with Robin's love life and career was largely that way. Not to mention a lot of Robin's stuff was pretty racist, but I guess if it's against Canadians that makes it okay.
@@quinnsinclair7028 I think the right word is xenophobic? Canadians aren't a race, they're a nationality. I get your point though.
Yeah they even have the slap bet of which its whole purpose is to just torture and punish Barney (deservedly so)
Yeah, he's supposed to be like that and yeah he gets called out on it but not enough and there's much more problematic to this show (eg. slut shaming, homophobic and transphobic jokes and much more that wouldn't be accepted in today's society and rightfully so)
@@quinnsinclair7028 yep, not to mention the homophobic and transphobic jokes as well as the slut shaming that keeps happening
HIMYM is one of my comfort shows and I’ve watched all the way through so many times. You kinda have to know the characters to understand this episode. Barney is gross but you’ve got to know him to appreciate him. I wouldn’t have called it a ‘musical episode’. The show has many musical moments (my favourite is the ‘you just got slapped’ song from the thanksgiving episode). But I guess some people aren’t suited to sit-coms and that’s ok!
Literally same. Kinda hurt to sit through the slander but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Lol
Barney is supposed to be skeevy in this. He is a "bro". He has a book of rules called the "Bro Code". It started in 2005 and went to 2014 and I must say much of it does not stand up well in the 2020s, especially after Epstein, Me Too, and of course the most recent ex-president of the US.
What I find most amazing is that I couldn't find an actor that seems more diametrically opposed to their role in real life than NPH and Barney.
This was not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting a commentary on the singing and vocals, not a nit-picking criticism of one of the best sitcoms ever. This video was a bit of a disappointment ngl 💀
You can't judge a show for having a musical number about suits when suits are literally a huge part of the character singing it. You can't just call it "weird" because they didn't do it like how you thought they would. I know you've never seen the show, but maybe for the future have someone who's seen it give you the basics before you watch an episode. As someone who loves the show, it's hard seeing you tear it apart when you know nothing about it.
Also how are you going to say "I know they filmed in front of a live studio audience" but still be like "Why are they standing like that?" when all sitcoms especially from this time period, like Friends and that 70s show are filmed like that with the characters in that circle thingy.
Exactly
@@akikob2 EXACTLY OML. I'm liking hannah less because she just shits on everything and completely tears apart my favourite shows :')
@@akikob2also it WASN'T filmed in front of a studio audience at all 💀
watching from the begining and knowing the history of the relationship with barney and suits makes the episode way more better, i am sad that you didn’t like it but i understand why🥺
barney’s character is supposed to be someone you hate. he’s an asshole and that’s the whole point. his friends give him crap for it almost every single episode. this was a milestone episode. i think the 100th so they made it special by adding the musical element. there’s lots of musical elements tied into the show but this is one of the biggest they ever did.
How I Met Your Mother is a classic. If you can’t enjoy Barney, what in this world can you enjoy??
This episode was pretty meh. You should react to Robin's fictional musical career. She was a Canadian teen pop star a la Alanis Morissette. "Let's Go To the Mall", "Sandcastles in the Sand" and "PS I Love You ".
And then for fun, "You Just Got Slapped..."
Honestly I kinda wanted Hannah's opinion on the cast's voices -- especially Marshall because I feel like he's really talented at singing, but I know nothing of singing. I'm pretty sure Robin isn't actually a very good singer, but Marshall sounds like one.
@@sarahlelys9268 marshall (jason segel) and ted (josh radnor) both have lovely voices, and i do believe josh is actually a musician now - marshall has a lot of musical moments (like you just got slapped, or little singing gags in certain episodes) but ted and barney do the most singing i think (superdate, for the longest time, etc.) and it would be nice to see what hannah thinks of them.
@@sarahlelys9268 she didn't comment on anything about the number.. 😆 what a misleading title I just saw this video, to someone bash one of my fav shows haha
@@angelacarrerarivera To be fair to Hannah, her audience made her watch an entire episode when she only had to watch three minutes of it, and I love HIMYM but it IS pretty misogynistic and if you don't know the entire story of the previous 100 episodes you'd just be shocked. Those things aren't everyone's cup of tea and Hannah was obviously very distressed by what she saw, I'm willing to give her a pass on that one, it's fine.
I've decided that New Girl will forever be my favourite and the best sitcom I'll ever watch
A reaction i really would not have expected at all
She just literally got offended by every joke. I can't imagine if she watches South Park or The Office.
@@parryhotter1604 yeah sometimes you gotta turn off your "wokeness". But being terrible is literally the point of Barney's character, especially with his background story
The way you’re responding to this episode is how many people react to musicals. “Why are they standing like that?” “That’s not natural!” “That is so awkward.” Sitcoms are like musicals: you need to suspend belief and just enjoy yourself. It’s the equivalent of saying “Why is everyone singing? People don’t just sing in real life!”
HIMYM is a show you have to watch from the beginning because a lot of the jokes and story comes from the audience trusting the characters and knowing that they are all slowly improving over time so we go on a journey with each of them.
Now that you've had an intro to himym you have to react to Let's go the mall by Robin Sparkles! It's iconic!!
I can't believe how paper thin are people nowadays. Everything hurts them, everything offends them. Do we forgot what a joke is?
This is definitely down to context, not having any context to the characters would give you this impression. Barney Stinson being a misogynist is a big part of his character and eventually his redemption.
Not a fan of musicals, yet, this is one of my favourite episodes.
Barney may be....well, barney, but this show and these characters seriously mean a lot to me. It combined comedy, friendship, and genuine heartfelt moments and I love all of the characters and cast 💕
What the fu..?? I just watched a whole video of the vocal coach just to hear "I like Neil's voice"??? That's all? No analyses, no vocal tecnique examination?????? just waste of time
And HIMYM is good cause it has a progressive storyline, so you need to watch it progressively. That way you get the jokes better
I have seen the entire series and literally forgot this musical moment even happened. Can we watch NPH’s Tony Awards opening numbers instead?
this episode makes so much more sense when you understand their history and what every character is going through. and we all know barney sucks, but it's barney and we love him. (and you also missed a lot of references so there's that)
If you watched the whole series from start to end it's so good.
In How I Met Your Mother Cobie Smulders plays a character who was a teenage popstar in Canada and in the show there were a couple of original songs of her. I Think you could react to some of those
Yes please
Ted's comment about Robin in the bar was not misogyny
Robin is just full of herself and thinks she is the most attractive woman in every room she's in, it's an established character trait of hers
My favorite moment was when they sang "for the longest time"
I actually love that you hated this so much🤣🤣 The show really lucked out by getting Neil to play Barney. His character never would have been so popular if he hadn't been so damn charming🤣 I disagree with everyone in the comments though, he gets a sad backstory yes! And he gets a lot of character development but throughout every season of the show he remains an entitled preditor and womaniser. That never changes. I would however love for you to react to Ted and Barney singing 'For the longest time' It's so lovely.
So are we ignoring when he fell in love with nora and robin and had genuine true relationships (yes he cheated on nora but that was his first real relationship since his like late teens early 20s) and then yea the finale wasnt great but his daughter was the best thing to come from it and he completely turned his life around yes hes terrible for the majority of the show but it does change he does have a lot of heart i dont think its necessarily fair to say he never changes
@@chandlernelson7055 I'm just going to highlight one thing you said in your response.
"Yes, he cheated on Nora"
This is like the Joey from Friends situation. Just because he would never hurt his friends, doesn't mean he wasn't a womaniser. Don't get me wrong they're both still great characters. They're also both shit characters
@@Orah90 I totally agree with you! I am tired of the whole HIMYM fandom defending Barney. He was a good friend but also misogynistic AND a predator AS HELL.
you are too serious about HIMYM. Barney is my love from the season 1 and he is a good actor (i mean Neil Patrick Harris) his jokes are so rude offensive and dumb that its postirony (also its the Ted's story so he makes barney a disgusting person in front of his kids). What makes this whole chaos of HIMYM become someones favourite series (mines too) is that it is full of dumb jokes and this series (as i believe) is like a parody of other sitcoms.
Finding a musical compilation is the best because it shows over a course of the 9 seasons all the small musical bits
Barney is Best charakter of the show. Stop being a karen
Fun fact, himym wasn’t filmed in front of an audience. It shown to an audience after and to get their reaction
I would love for you to react to anything from "tick, tick... boom." It's Andrew Garfield's first foray into singing (and the first time he'd sung in front of people!) but it's truly extraordinary and I'd love to know what you think about it. You could react to the clip of 30/90, you could react to No More, or literally any of the songs you can find clips for. The clip for 30/90 is considerably shortened because... movies do that, I guess, but it's still a load of fun!
YES
Girl, the whole point of Barney’s character is that he is sexist and absurd!!!! He’s like Johnny Bravo. He then undergoes massive character development and learns to be a better, more mature person.
You can't watch one episode of how i met your mother without all context behind it. for exemple the joke about lily being bissexual is somethig that happens all the time in the show. you have to watch everything to understand one episode.
I know this song word for word. I've always loved it 😭😭
Funny thing is, Barney is a really well-rounded character. He does scummy things, but he's not a bad person at his core. He's super insecure and acts cocky and horrible to over-compensate. This show really is amazing and you can't watch a lot of episodes out of context or you won't understand the characters as well. They also make fun of how terrible he is a lot. And he has major character development and growth. So, on the surface, all the stuff you hate about him is seemingly true. But when you watch all 9 seasons, he's really way more than meets the eye
Edit: Also, Barney is super into his suits. That's why the musical number is so absurd. It's a big trait of his character. And HIMYM does lean into the goofy stuff like this. There are multiple musical numbers throughout the series and they're all great
Loads of people have said it, but that's totally the normal reaction to Barney. He's a caricature of masculine insecurity. (He also gets like, the best character development I've ever seen in a sitcom. Until the epilogue.)
How I met your Mother is in my top 3 favourite sitcoms of all time. At least until the final episodes of the final season.
It is important to understand that Barney's personality is exaggerated for the comedy and for his character development throughout the show. He goes from this predatory sex pest designed for humor and outrage to a more tolerable guy who has multiple long term relationships, and he even marries robin towards the end of the show. There are multiple musical numbers in the show, not all involving Barney. The Robin sparkles bits and the marshall musical video messages are some highlights. I personally enjoyed the show completely throughout but I do understand the issues you will have had when only watching one very Barney focussed episode when there are many that are not focused on him and are excellent and he also has many enjoyable points throughout.
As a vocal coach you were supposed to judge them singing. Instead you just watch the episode and judged the entire show.
this felt like watching a show with my strict parents lol i wish you reacted more to the actual vocals
My condolences if your parents react in a similar way. In my opinion this borders on psychosis.
How can you take these innocous scenes and interpret them in such a ludacris way.
Everythings mysoginist and discriminating these days, what a load of bull.
The bigger thing about Barney was that they kind of broke the 4th wall with his attraction to women, because he had recently come out as gay, so they decided to really put him over the top problematic straight
Head's up! Other people have said it, but there's a whole gag about Robin and her secret past as a Canadian pop star, you should make a video reacting to her songs because they're iconic
Misogyny? I click on this video cuz I wanted to see your reaction to Barney singing but please don't do the snowflake thing. I get it. You think there's a lot of social justice boys out there, and reality they're like 5% of the world. Most of us think that's annoying and stupid and just enjoy entertainment for what it is without reading too much into it. Don't be one of the easily offended types it's not cute.
so you complain about any women joke and say that a woman being rude is a powerfull woman and complain about misogyny. Feminism at its best
You should try Community, they have a musical episode that is part glee parody and part Christmas episode. There’s a lot more singing in that one. (And personally I think it’s a better sitcoms that himym, the humor is more clever and there’s no laugh track)
I may be six months late but my favorite part of this entire show is when the mother sings la vie en rose. Still one of my favorite and most watched scenes. I literally watch it all the freaking time.
One of my favorite HIMYM moments as well and I still search it out and watch it from time to time too!
I would Barney, like me, would be Hannah’s favorite character. He’s the damaged bad boy with a heart of gold. Also, he gets all the best lines. I like raunchy and dark humor and that’s all Barney.
Barney is usually peoples favorite characters when you watch with context
Clearly HIMYM is not for you. It’s satire and you took it so seriously.
if you get to know barney it makes this episode so enjoyable and to be fair you have to understand the characters for this to not seem crazy 😭
I changed my mind watching the offence roll onto her face at everthing Barney says just gives me joy.
There’s no specific musical episode of the show, but there are a bunch of musical numbers in various episodes.
Robin was actually a popstar in Canada! She sang three songs :-) Plus the beaver song.
this video made me realize you shouldn't watch this show out of context 😂
himym honestly is a full blown experience and you need all of it to find it funny and enjoy it (coming from someone who watches the show at least 7 times every year)
I have to say though, don’t take out your anger on sitcoms. How I Met Your Mother is an exception, Brooklyn 99 is one of the greatest shows ever. Modern Family is great. Community is another one
Agreeeee. Sitcoms are great.
Yess parks and rec also
@@kiera_klark8171 I think I gotta give that one another try, I watched a few episodes once and just couldn’t get into it
Himym is better than two of those lol
@@ezql_ No, HIMYM is problematic start to finish, it’s got a lot of funny jokes and some characters grow on you (I’ve seen the whole show) but it’s hella problematic.
How I Met Your Mother legendary iconic show stopping best show ever
This hurt to watch knowing I've seen the whole thing. You really grow to love Barney's character.

Omg I never noticed her
i love seeing people's reactions to barney. You really have to watch the whole show to understand his character, i mean, from this episode he looks like a total douche (which ,lets be real, he is) but if you watch the whole show, you really see him change as a character and find who he really is. I love how the writers have done this :)
This is one of my favorite sitcoms ever
It’s over the top and satire tho and some of it is outdated yes but most of what he says is satire and meant to be annoying
Actually I love it when shows explain their jokes. It makes me feel less stupid if my fibro brain-fog is on overtime and I just cannot understand what just happened.
If you want to react to Neil Patrick Harris with something less problematic you should look at Dr Horrible! It's probably my favourite musical and it's all on TH-cam too!
himym is one of my fav comedy series ever 😭 the song is iconic and Barney is one of the best characters :ccccc
Oh my gosh this show has so many good numbers lol. Also thanks for the content Hannah love it! 💜
They dont really have a dedicated Musical Episodes, but they have songs here and there throughout the seasons :)
Robin singing: "Let's go to the mall" - "Sandcastles in the sand" - "P.S I love you" - The beaver Song
Barney: "Suits"
Ted: "Super-date"
Tracy: "La Vie En Rose"
And probably a few others I forget :)
Bruh you watched one episode from the middle of the series without knowing any context or even trying to do a background check on the characters and you're eye-rolling and complaining because the episode and the song confused you ? Really ? 🙄
It’s a show with occasional musical numbers every few episodes! This song is my fav but they have a bunch of them that are really fun
You should definately react to Neil's other singing stuff I'd love to see your reactions to his Tony openings
So much yes to what everyone is saying about Barney. That's his character - the skeevy guy that you hate. But his character works with the other characters, it wouldn't have been the same without him. It's actually a really funny show! Yes, it's a sitcom and the fake audience might laugh more than you do. But there were parts that had me truly laughing out loud - and I'm not talking just a giggle! Like > 😂
For me most shows are about getting to know the characters and the dynamics between them. I think a lot of the jokes are kind of "you had to be there". Meaning they are funnier if you know the characters personalities and have seen previous shows so that you know more of the history behind the joke.
You should watch from the beginning and give it a chance. Then again - a ton of people love The Big Bang Theory and I so don't. So, maybe what gives me a good belly laugh might not do the same for you. 🙂
If you want a good musical that shows off NPH's voice, Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. His character has some NiceGuy Syndrome(TM) going on, but the songs are FANTASTIC. Whole movie is only an hour-ish, so it wouldn't be too hard to cover. Plus! Nathan Fillion. 💕
Wouldn't be a a Joss Whedon production without some NiceGuy(TM) in it.
@@quinnsinclair7028 😅 That is very very true...
me knowing it’s more of a musical moment than a musical episode and wondering how much she’s gonna watch 😳😂
Idk if you can judge his whole character through one episode but the show itself is really good and Barney is a character you're supposed to actually hate when you see him, Neil is awesome tho just sayin
I also connected Tim Gunn with Baileywick from Sofia the First. Months of caring for a toddler while working at home has paid off.
So many people in the comments section trying to excuse Barney's character because of his "trauma" and "character development". Give me a break 😂 this episode is way into season 5 and having a shitty childhood doesn't excuse treating women like objects to be won. He also actively manipulates Robin in the months leading up to their engagement, it's seriously messed up, y'all cannot possibly pin this on "times have changed". It was always hideous behaviour and it was only 10 years ago
YESSSS
We know hes a bad person that the not the issue here. Shes acting likestv show cant have a morally bad person which is bullshit of course it can
Okay I've never even seen this show but its pretty clear that the character is meant to be a jerk she judged way too much over that and let that affect her entire reaction
It's honestly one of the most well-written sitcoms I've ever seen, the laugh track being an anomaly of it's time unfortunately, the whole "live performance" act really takes away from the show-- your initial dislike of Barney makes total sense, you're not supposed to like him but he has some of the best character development and funniest moments in the show. Absolutely absurd episode lmfao.
It hurts Hannah, this is one of my favourite show. :( They just have fun tbh ^^
