Click here for a compilation of all the clues and theories about The Mother!
1. You notice immediately when the reruns have parts edited out (ex: discussions of Robin’s friend from Canada who got married way too early, Slap Bet episode season 2)
2. You know every character’s full name (note – I love that Theodore Evelyn Mosby and Robin Charles Scherbatsky, Jr. both have gender inappropriate middle names)
3. You know Marshall’s password to access his bar exam results online (and the entire song he used to remember it)
4. You know every word to “Super Date”, “Nothing Suits Me Like A Suit”, and (of course) all of the Robin Sparkles songs (edited to add Marshall’s Chinese food cushion flipping song, “Cat-sitting for Lily’s Mom”, and the subsequent “Cat Funeral”)
5. You look for clues to the mother in each new episode, but also clues to the pineapple incident, slutty pumpkin, etc
6. You remember the names of Ted’s former dates better than he does (see the game of “name that bitch”, Say Cheese episode season 5)
7. You know about and have discussed the St. Patrick’s Day girl and the Tracy theory with other fans
8. You own and/or have read any of the following books by Barney Stinson:
9. You scoff at the so-called fans that can only quote “Legen…dary!” and still think Robin is the mother

I LOVE U GUYS I DON’T MISS ANY OF YOUR SHOWS.
11) Whenever anyone says “general,” “major,” “private,” or any similar adjectives, you repeat them and the noun following them, and then give a salute.
How could I have forgotten that one??? Excellent addition for sure :)
What about Teds five minute date!! Legen… wait for it….dary
So romantic! If anyone ever did that for me I would just about die from an overload of swooning…
2 minutes*
You’re right it was just 2! Slightly unrelated but I love love LOVE the song that played during that scene. It’s also used in That 70s Show for some sweet Donna and Eric moments so I extra like it since its been in 2 of my fave shows. (song is called “Thirteen” by Big Star)

You’ve tried to pull off “The Naked Man” 2 outta 3 times Guaranteed!
hahaha those really aren’t bad odds – also I would add that you have a fave Naked Man pose. I think my fave is the Coppertone Baby lol
It’s very recent, but my fiancee and i are always saying “Awwww, Maaaannnnnn” from the blitzgiving episode. Or leaning over and doing the “The Gentlemen!” thing.
Do you mean “a gentleman’s agreement – huzzah!”? Cause I do that more than I should lol. I’ve also been stuck on awwww man, it’s catchy
I think he means ‘The Gentleman”, from the same episode! The thing with the hat….
Oh you’re right, I rewatched and had apparently forgotten about that part the first time around. I blame the blitz.
how about both versions of “you just got slapped”. sung by marshall and from the commercial for “slap bet” the game?
Excellent point! I really enjoyed the “commercial” for the game (for ages 9-99!)
Dont forget… “sonofabeeech.”
hahaha of course!
you forgot the Lorenzo Von Matterhorn web search

For number 8, don’t forget some people have listened to the audiobook versions instead of reading them
and the playbook for parents too
I will update the post to include websites, books, etc that came out after I originally posted. I had completely forgotten about The Playbook For Parents!
Noted!
Ow! Song-missing alert! =)
We also know the Puzzles song, the Slap Bet song, not to mention the CLASSIC Bang Bang Bangity Bang. Actually, any fan has a How I Met Your Mother’s entire playlist…….
Oops you found another early HIMYM post that I need to update! There have been so many glorious new songs that this in particular needs to be refreshed. Also, how much do I love that they released all of Marshall’s songs on iTunes? I listen to Marshall vs the Machine all the time when I need to get psyched!
2, 4, 5, 9, and 10 all apply to me. haha!
Anybody else feel a weird chill of foreboding at 2:01 am? Nothing good happens after 2 am.
Except for Luke :)
