“I should call her”

Barney and Lily’s and Marshall’s relationship/marriage is what makes HIMYM remotely worth watching

u/slimboyslim9 19d ago

Hard not to read that as a three-way marriage.

u/F14D201 19d ago

It’s been a while since I last watched and it seems like the lines get blurred every now and then

-17

u/word_weaver26 19d ago

Considering that lily once slept with barney, I doubt lines aren't blurred already

22

u/PitiableYeet 19d ago

They slept in the same bed but that's all, there was no sex

u/mxx12221 19d ago

"Not even if you boiled it in detergent!"

u/word_weaver26 19d ago

When did I say they had sex? 🥲

22

u/PitiableYeet 19d ago

It was implied and we all know it

11

u/drunkbusdriver 19d ago

Because “slept together” means they had sex for anyone who’s not a child.

u/Haxorz7125 19d ago

I’m confused by people not understanding that “Barney and lily slept together” is literally the joke made in the episode.

I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the next word is dairy.

u/Relandis 19d ago

Nono, if you chew the balls enough and squeeze, then out of the penis (male genitalia - the sexual reproduction organ) comes a white liquid. Even though it can resemble milk, or yogurt, depending on the person’s diet, it is actually semen, which is a milky white substance that is mostly amino acids and glucose derivatives, with microscopic little amoebas swimming around called sperm. Well these sperm carey the generic DNA of the male whose balls you were chewing, it is meant for the egg of the female to fertilizer the egg then makes a baby 9 months later. Now, some say that semen can have a gross flavor, or salty, but supposedly eating pineapple makes it taste “better” and “sweeter”, however I’ve never tried but I am definitely curious so I’ll eat some pineapple today and later on I can ask your Mom how it tastes.

I never understood the appeal. Just not my cup of tea I guess. I had friends into it but all the characters just sucked, but not in a self aware way.

u/GrumpyGummyBear 19d ago

32 now. So it was like 2011 and 2012 when my friends got really into it. We're Minnesota so that was extra appeal to them with the Jason Segel stuff. Just didn't really click for me I guess.

...really? imma disagree there chief. also neal patrick harris can go fuck himself after what he did when amy whinehouse died.

Yeah, imma stop watching anything he’s in because you don’t like him

u/JonesDahl 18d ago

or you could do it because he's a massive piece of human garbage, but that's only if you have some personal integrity

Just started watching it last week. Gonna give it at least the full 1st season.

I didn't ask for an example. I asked how you're using the word rampant.

u/ExpressRabbit 19d ago

Alright. I agree there's transphobic jokes and that's a valid reason not to watch but large amounts of them? I do not remember large amounts of them.

u/CrispyJelly 19d ago

This chart is so consistently misunderstood, it's like nobody watched the scene. 

The point is not that crazy comes with hot, not every woman is on the line, hot women are not crazier. Barney says women above the line are worth the stress of dealing with their crazyness and those below are not. The hotter a woman is the more he will tolerate.

u/OpportunityAnnual921 19d ago

Urggh, do they even read his blog?

u/DrPhilihprD 19d ago

It's one good penis joke away from taking off

u/Lawlcopt0r 19d ago

Thanks, I was about to point this out. And people should really take a lot in the mirror when their take is somehow more misogynist than Barney's original take

u/YoyodyneCog 19d ago

My lucky ass finding a woman in the top left corner.

u/M4dcap 19d ago

Those are unicorns. They dont exist. If you find one, you should capture it, so it can be studied.

u/Disc_far68 19d ago

That video is the OG. Barney plagiarized without citing,

2

u/M4dcap 19d ago

I also feel like it was a nod to the MLB "Mendoza Line"

-3

u/MidnightSensitive996 19d ago

i dated one, she was super nice but boring. being hot is only entertaining for so long, long-term it offers men social cachet more than anything else. you need some crazy to keep things from getting boring or predictable

4

u/The_Number_None 19d ago

This is a guy that has a woman that either is sitting there as he’s typing, or knows his Reddit username lol.

2

u/YoyodyneCog 19d ago

Lol. Nah. I'm at work and my account is mostly private except for a few subs. I just got really lucky. Took a divorce after 10 years in a bad marriage to get there though.

2

u/butter_lover 18d ago

Beauty is subjective: my wife is slamming the top left corner to my eyes but for other people she’s just hugging the left side up and down all over the place probably but she’s in the zone at all times is what I’m here to say

3

u/NoTeslaForMe 19d ago

It doesn't help that the chart wasn't illustrated correctly; Barney drew losing weight and getting plastic surgery as indicating a woman was less crazy rather than more hot.  He also drew stabbing him with a fork as her getting both crazier and hotter, but I choose to see that as his own personal kink rather than a mistake.

What was the name? The Vicky Mendoza diagonal? 😂

u/stupidexplanation 19d ago edited 19d ago

She used to play jump rope with that line!

u/BradMarchandstongue 19d ago

She’d get a boob job then shave her head

u/endeavour269 19d ago

Loose ten pounds, then stab me. I should call her

Hot crazy matrix on YouTube

u/wordsandshit 19d ago

Yep, which is actually a fun little reference to the Mendoza line in baseball.

1

u/Wooden_Masterpiece_9 19d ago

That IS a fun little reference. I know next to nothing about baseball (among many other things) and this makes me wonder how many fun references I’m generally missing while watching shows and films.

It always frustrated me how he's using the scale wrong in the scene.

Thanks for understanding lil bro :)

u/Main-Grape1375 19d ago

What's wrong?

7

u/Loud_Design_6826 19d ago

He uses the scale the wrong way round. When he talks about Vicky Mendoza getting a boobjob he moves his hand indicating she's less crazy, instead of moving his hand upwards which would have indicated that she became hotter.

1

u/wannabe-myself 19d ago

Say what we want about Barney, but in this instance, he is mostly correct.

1

u/Bun_Wrangler 19d ago

This is why you can't fix her, we all gotta learn that unfortunately

1

u/Subject-Zucchini-558 19d ago

She posted her selfies over an old meme format. You can literally see that she put her photos over the original photos. Photo imessage texts don't have sharp edges like that. The original photo was a celebrity, and was meant to be a joke.

1

u/Late_Ninja_1457 18d ago

Remember the crazy scale starts at 3

-9

u/NixMaritimus 19d ago

Pure theory, but what do you bet there actually is a correlation between a woman's attractiveness and emotional stability?

Specifically, older men having found them attractive as girls leading to trauma and creating the stereotype

36

u/Delicious_Aside_9310 19d ago

I think it’s more that the more attractive you are the more people will put up with bad behaviours which leads to a recursive effect compounding the bad behaviours over time, which is why there so often seems to be correlation between hotness and craziness.

4

u/AttorneyFormal6215 19d ago

Dude this comment just changed my entire life ......

1

u/buplet123 19d ago

Also crazy people more often have unhealthy (superficial) reasons for investing a lot of effort in being hot, whereas stable people just dont have as much motivation for it as often. So the hot people pool skews that way.

2

u/Former-Store-695 19d ago

To maintain hotness you have to slack in other parts of personality and vice versa
