- Robin travels all the way from Japan to attend Ted's wedding, even though she thinks it's too weird, cos there's still something between them - "that kind of stuff doesn't just disappear".

So, you breakup with a guy for nothing who can even die for you, then you come to his wedding and tell him not to marry because you might someday want to settle with him but not at this moment. You aren't gonna propose him or accept him, but you are telling him to not get married. What level of Friendzone is it?
Shamiul Hasan This is part of why I don't like the Robin character. Plus she never did anything nice for Ted.
Mosby level
razor edge lol
The hook
Well that is the society we live in. Happens to a lot of people. MGTOW is the only viable option.
Cobie is underrated as an actress. This was some very real shit, and she nailed it.
Daniel Dougan Cobie is fantastic!
I agree. She did a fantastic job portraying robin. Very moderate and subtle. I'm loving her more and more...
She has grown as actress. Watch Friends from College on Netflix
@@tylongkicks8821 yeah she really has. Honestly I liked her more in one season of Friends from College than 9 seasons of How i met your mother.
"I did make it rain" :dd
Nika Giorgobiani Perfect comedic timing LOL
Yeah he did
Well he did but it makes me laugh how she still doubts it.
Facts
If we ignore the “if I ever change my mind about marriage I want you to be there for me” part, everything she said was 100% right.
right
I disagree. Her statement about "disappearing into someone else's life" is bull. Ted loved Stella and he cared enough for Lucy to be her step father. Yes, the wedding and engagement were rushed but marriage is about becoming a part of someone else's life and it is not wrong that Ted decided to do that with Stella.
Robin has always been a trainwreck and disaster for Ted. Whenever he pursued her or just started to have something with her, she disappointed him half the way. And when he was about to move on with somebody else, she intervened and messed up with the guy's head. No man needs that kind of woman.
@@henrypeters5291marriage is about building a new life together. She was gonna make Ted move to Jersey while she stayed in the city for Tony. They weren’t building together. He was just filling in the role that Tony left behind.
as independent and free Robin seems to be here we see her insecurtiy very well. in her inside shes very emotional when it Comes up to ted.
Exacly!
She will go to Barney to forget, but we can see who she really love.
@@saraautumn8694 at the end !!
Outward independence can conceal inner insecurity.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 true, true
@@CommanderKiller Finally , all the Robin bashing was getting pathetic.
You could argue that she loved Ted more than he loved her. And she definitely loved him for longer
here she is talking about being the ex on a wedding.... and what happens then? she marries barney and ted is the best man...... what a hypocrit
Seriously the writer screwed up.with her character I don't like her either . She was such a bitch , selfish and at the end had all she wanted
She's not a hypocrite, she is, as Stella, still in love with her ex that she end up marrying.
@@saraautumn8694 and 4yrs after marrying Ted's really good friend and asking him to be her best man 😡
@@brunocruzadomunoz6732 I'm going to disagree and say that she was a nice girl whose personality was destroyed in order to make her and Barney get together. Her harrowing upbringing was a huge factor in her development and I don't think it's fair to call her selfish.
@@Mani26031981 agree. For me she was selfish 😐 but everyone has different opinions brop 😔
Ted should have told Robin "you had your chance with me and you blew it now you're trying to stop me from getting married just so you can string me along again what kind of friend are you?"
Thank youuuu
Thank you!!
I am not an apologist for Robin. However, I think it is unfair to say she "blew" the relationship. In fact, I think it was honest of her to admit that she did not see herself headed in the same direction as Ted. That takes courage.
Forgot the what between again and kind.
I think what you are missing is that, if it weren't for Lily's manipulation, Robin & Ted's first relationship maybe would've worked. Throughout the rest of the series, the issue was timing. Robin was thinking about being with Ted when he had someone else and the other way around.
Her feelings aside, Robin was being a good friend here when she said " that's not Ted Mosby. You deserve better than this". She knew Ted and she knew that Stella wasn't right for him.
And guess what, she WAS right after all.
Yeah, a lot of people overlook the whole "This isn't how your journey should end" thing, which is what completes this moment for me
A good friend doesn’t have sex with his best friend. She should’ve fix that first before starting to talk
Exactly. Yes the two of them have romantic history together but even with that aside she showed she genuinely cared for Ted here by noticing the fact that he was just rushing into marriage all because he had the opportunity to. Stella wasn't the one and she knew that even if Ted didn't see it himself.
Seeing how the whole series ended... this scene is much bigger in context.
Exactly my thoughts.
True
Yeah, only after this, Robin showed no interest in Ted for almost 5 years
Ya Robin wanted to be with Ted it’s due to her own insecurities that lead them apart given her issues with her family growing up. She’s basically afraid of confronting her feelings by growing up
Disagree.. She told ted a very heartbreaking No when he tried to win her many times after stella..
The end was bullshit
Later on, this exact same thing will happen with Barney (except that Barney did it on purpose), she always wants what she can't have. That's not healthy. When she and Barney get divorced she falls for Ted all over again and probably a big reason of why that happened is because he was married now. I'm not saying she dosen't love Ted or that she didn't love Barney but that love is based on a twisted mindset of wanting what you can't have. And he totally made it rain.
Michael Mello All that may be true, but everything she said was absolutely right. Ted was so focused on finding the love of his life he just jumped right into the idea of Stella being that person without evaluating if she even was and if that life is the one he wanted. Robin is 100% right and though it came from her own insecurities, it also comes from being a true friend to Ted in this moment and seeing what he failed to see.
that makes sense. Ppl only want sth they can’t have. why is that so?
There was even an episode about robin being obsessive over what she can't have to the point where she nearly kills herself over lobster
You’re gonna damn right he did.
After watching the series again, I suspected Robin didn't love Ted or Barney that much. When they offered to be with her, she rejected both of them. But when they moved on, then she suddenly wanted them back. She just want what she cannot have, and Lily said it outright at season 8. I don't even think she ever loved Barney. The first time when they were together (which last 6 months lol), it was more of a casual dating and it ended terribly. And Robin moved on in few months. Then when Barney dated Nora (which Robin introduced to him btw), she suddenly wanted him back and made him break up with her then rejected him for Kevin. Barney only got Robin because he was smart and knew that about her, and sort of tricked her into being with him (said to Robin I am done with you then made her want him then proposed to her). Poor Ted, he could get Robin if he simply did what Barney did. I also think Barney just wanted Robin because he was lonely and some mid-life crisis, and Robin was the only one he could get since no one wanted a womanizer like him. Then they divorced and Robin wanted Ted because Ted was with Tracy.
She was the most likable in season 3 when she was just happy by herself and wanted nothing from nobody. I love Robin but that is some deeply flaw character.
Stella’s “Suck it bitch, I win.” with the ring flex was soooooo good 😂 honestly such a damn shame Tony and Lucy existed in this world haha
I hear beth…(burp)
Saw a bit of Elliot Reid there
Stella wasn't worth ted's love
Very few characters in the show were.
Neither was Robin
Actually is Ted wasn’t such an idiot he would have had Stella and Robin is had a child mindset and can’t keep her legs closed.
Ted’s glare at 1:32 was so good, he seemed furious when she said it
OK, I'm going to back up Robin here. She wants what she can't have because she's used to being pushed away/hurt in love., it's what she learned. Ted was a massive curve ball for her, she couldn't accept him because he was unfamiliar, he was what she wanted but didn't feel worthy of. Enter Barney, a reminder of her emotionally distant father and bam, we have wedding (not an accident) but she could never be happy. Ted was always it for her, she just couldn't accept it until she could feel worthy of him. The fact is, she always was.
Bornonthecusp, thank you for simmering my thoughts and robin's storyline at the same time.
Honestly even taking Robins hang ups out of the picture she was legitimately looking out for Ted in this scene. Yea she may not want to be with him at this point in time and who knows maybe never but she just felt like Stella was just not the right person for Ted. Like she said "it's like you're skipping ahead to the end of the book." I'll admit it Robin may have had some hangups of her own with wrestling for her feelings for Ted but I think this scene is a more important scene in showing how Robin was legitimately looking out for Ted in this scene. showing how she cared about him and to me that's why this scene is masterful
@Imaru Lewis He didn't ditch Stella or Tracy for Robin.
Totally. They should have skipped from this season to the last one so it all makes more sense. All those seasons in between totally lost the focus, created a super platonic friendship between Ted and Robin, even as roommates, gave too much importance to Robin's feelings towards Barney and made Ted look as a stubborn guy suddenly obsessed with his female friend with whom he had a brief romance 8 years ago... The writers completely lost the track and made the ending seem senseless after all that...
Exactly just accept it. Saying she's independent and can do whatever is stupid
No can dosville, baby doll.
Sorry bro
Robin really had audacity for this. How dare she ask him not to get married just in case she wants him one day but not today? Yes he was rushing with Stella but Robin is no better.
I don't think you understood the scene at all. Think deeper than your hatred. She's looking out for him here. She knows marrying Stella is not good for Ted. That's why she says "you're disappearing into someone else's house, someone else's life". Because marrying Stella meant Ted has to move to her house, take care of her kid. He always wanted to build and grow a family. But now he's just going along with whatever Stella already has. That's less than what he deserves. Robin was really brave to say these to Ted when his other friends couldn't. Knowing that saying all these would make Ted hate her she still wanted the best for him.
@@aaatt268that's one part of the convo. You completely ignore the part the comment is talking about.
"think deeper than your hatred." Only simple minds think that way.@@aaatt268
Sometimes you don’t know your true feelings until that person moves on without you
Well this happened to Robin Twice
Both of their acting is really good here
Stella doesn’t want Robin at the wedding because she feels like she’s getting Robin’s sloppy seconds.
Robin doesn’t want to be at the wedding because she feels like she lost the love of her life to Stella.
I did make it rain.
lol he's so sure, I love it!
This is what I can't stand about HIMYM. There was clearly still something between Ted and Robin up to season 7, yet they just forget about it the next episode, like it happened here, while Barney and Robin suddenly get back together for no reason at all.
Exactly!
I know right? I loved both Characters at first but after that Barney and Robin became my least favorite of the five friends
Luigi Crisci Yeah they put barney and robin together way too much when the show is about ted.
Yeah exactly! I liked Ted and Robin but then they made us forget about them with Barney and Robin and I kinda started to like them then they ended that when we got used to that. Why distract us this much!
they wanted to prolongue the series way more, so they would have time to go back to robinxted, but marshaw's actor wanted to end it
“I did make it rain.” 🤣
Robin never got over Ted. Deep down inside her, it’s always been him.
Even when she’s with Barney, she always loved Ted.
@@monisantillan8394 ehh idk about that. There was the whole time where Ted proffesed his love to her and she rejected him. I think she loved him and loved how much he was in love with her, but I don’t think that she was in love with him anymore
@@nataliehill1472 She knew exactly what Ted wanted in life and she was well aware she would never be able to provide it, it's next level love which had an unfortunately poor execution.
@@THE202 the thing is, Robin is a pretty open person with Ted, and, like with Kevin, I think if she just knew that Ted wanted something different with his life then her then she would have told him that, she wouldn’t have just told him that she wasn’t in love with him. Even before the dinner was over Ted could tell that it wasn’t happening and that she no longer reciprocated the feelings.
Assuming that she loved him even though she straight up told him she didn’t AND there is no real indication that she’s in love with him at this point is illogical. Especially because this show is EXCELLENT at showing even when they don’t tell, I.e. when Ted makes the Christmas light thing for Robin when she was sad, even though Ted doesn’t say he’s still in love with her, and his feelings for her don’t really even come up at this time, as a viewer you can tell he’s still in love her
@@nataliehill1472 i dont even think that robin was in love with ted at the first place she was loving the idea of having ted as her bf but when she thought ted was gonna propose her reaction didnt look like she loved him not bc she just said no but she was so scared and tried to run away from the relationship too fast she didnt even think she was like ok im leaving
She’s got the biggest ego in the whole world
He did make it rain, you just don't love him enough to believe that....
Are you serious
Yea, I am
@@mariaconstantin5748 So you think when you love someone, you should believe they did something you know is impossible?
@@jgsh8062 No, I think it's not important if they did something impossible or not, It is important that they try....logically it is impossible to make it rain, but he tried that even though he knew it
@@mariaconstantin5748 That doesn't mean you have to believe it, because that's just stupid
Most of them keep on complaining about finale but in my view it's the best with real life painful ending!
She's being 100% selfish but she's also 100% right.
classic Schmosby
Idk it seemed pretty clear outside, Ted made it not only rain but also thunder
I never even noted the thunder before now! Good catch.
So true, ahahahahah
Robin and Ted boycotting each other relationships
She doesn't deserve to ask him that. No person in the world who frienzoned another with true feelings deserve to ask the other one something like waiting until the other person is really in love.
Just realized that this happened shortly after Robin slept with Barney.
I love Robin but she had some balls to ask Ted not to get married after she slept with his best friend.
Robin did make a good point Ted is a hopeless romantic and he did deserve so much better then that
One of the most crucial scenes of the series that goes widely unremembered. It's great to see Robin as a character that is not necessarily evil, but human. Selfish.
Love in their 50's doesn't have to be a passionate love affair like Ted/Tracy or Marshall/Lily. It can simply be two friends who have good sexual chemistry and want to share the rest of their lives together. It happens all the time when widows in their 60s remarry.
The ending (in theory) ISN'T bad. S9 was just ill-developed with the wedding arc being one of the most idiotic creative choices in sitcom history.
You notice her speech is literally every himym fan when they saw their crap ending. Fourth wall break.
They did end up together. Fuck the journey. It’s the destination that truly matters.
No the journey matters more than anything, it’s like watching 300 and saying they all die and their journey didn’t matter

Its subjective
Robin is the worst.
Did I just hear a Windows 7 shut down sound?
I thought I was the only one!
"...without ... a trace ..."
Re-watching it now I realise how toxic Robin really was in playing with Ted's emotions repeatedly.
Wow everybody is all here criticizing robin and Ted. I just find it hilarious when Stella was showing off her ring to robin 😂 “Suck it bitch I win”
Rick disapproves
Because Ted is a fkn idiot and doesn’t listen and Robin is a Child who wants what she can’t have. She’s the worst and Ted deserved to be left at the alter.
While I do think Robin's main motivation to tell Ted this was selfish, I do think a part of her was looking out for him, and I do think she was right about him rushing it.
Everyone's dunking on Robin here but she's right. Ted and Stella were rushing into this.
This is some next level manipulation shit smh.
She knows marrying Stella is not good for Ted. That's why she says "you're disappearing into someone else's house, someone else's life". Because marrying Stella meant Ted has to move to her house, take care of her kid. He always wanted to build and grow a family. But now he's just going along with whatever Stella already has. That's less than what he deserves. Robin was really brave to say these to Ted when his other friends couldn't. Knowing that saying all these would make Ted hate her she still wanted the best for him.
The thing is, not everyone is perfect. Stop harassing robin. Everyone has those feelings at one time or another. You can't expect her to act as if those feelings are not there. They are, even if they are not exactly noble, they are her feelings. Stop blaming her for them. Seriously.
Exactly. I don't understand why people are attacking characters for being relatable, flawed human beings. I don't like everything Robin does, but why can't she struggle with her feelings?
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 so what if she’s not perfect??? Is that not a reason to criticize her actions? Such stupid logic, criminals are not perfect too, by y’all logic we should just accept them, and don’t punish them. We have a brain for a reason, just because you “feel” something, it’s not an excuse to do bad things
@@aibartalgatuly3011 Dude Robin was right to tell Ted not to get married. Regardless of whether her motivations were selfish, lookig out for Ted, or both, she was right. Ted rushed into it, and Stella was awful.
You cant tell a person who you literally ditch because of your insecurities that you want him not to get married in his wedding day!
Also you cant tell that you want him to stay single untill you change your mind if tou change your mind because it is literally what she said this is selfish
She had her chances with him but she screwed up because of her ambitions
THAT IS UNFAIR FOR TED AND HERSELF
@@user-lr9xd1ty7q Robin was still right. He rushed into it and Stella was awful.
Reminds me of Rachel going to break up Ross' wedding in London. Let's face it Robin doesn't want Ted to marry Stella because she's not over him, the same reason why Rachel doesn't want Ross to be with Emily. Oh Ted keep denying there's nothing between you and Robin anymore. Why else did you invite her--your ex-to your own wedding?!
Zoe Fang - most stupid story ever, posing Ted as a pathetic loser
He never gave up on love doesn't make him pathetic. He's courageous and strong because of how deeply he loved Robin
Zoe Fang I. The end though it was his attachment to Robin that was holding him back from being happy that’s why it took him all these years to find Tracy his wife and mother to his two kids because he can never let go
He never stopped loving Robin. Tracy gave him the life he wanted yet she's too perfect and at the end of the day, Ted wanted Robin, not perfection. His daughter Penny summed up the show "It's not about how you met mom. It's about how you're madly in love with Aunt Robin." Ted and Robin went off on their separate ways to get what they wanted out of life: Ted got his family and Robin got her dream career. Then they were ready to reunite. If you love someone you don't stop, ever. Ted never gave up on Robin. Letting go is not loving less. He finally ended up with Robin because he never stopped fighting for her. The writers have intended for Ted and Robin to end up all along. Timing was always against them. Timing is a bitch. Neil Patrick Harris himself confirmed Robin was meant for Ted all along, not Barney.
Ted and Robin forever. Tracy was a passerby who gave Ted the life he wanted.
Here, Ted doesn't realise but Robin does. They are meant to be together. They both knew it since the pilot. Although if in alternate universe if Stella doesn't leave Ted then Ted is the one who would utter Robin in his wedding vows just like our very own Ross Geller.
Yap, Ted: Whatever I do all keeps coming back to Robin💓
This scene shows how Robin did care for Ted. Someone who wouldn’t care would not even bother saying all that. You can tell it’s from the heart. And she is on her journey, she hasn’t made it yet, so to her, if she ever did want to settle down, it would be with Ted. People don’t consider timing, but it plays a role in a story.
This is one of the best scenes in TV history for me. I love how during the seriousness of the scene, Ted says, "I did make it rain" and she says, "It was a coincidence."
It wasn't just comedic genius, it also was why their love didn't work. It's why they couldn't grow old together. That's way too big a gap to get past.
I wish the writers realized this.
It made me laugh at that cause he really did and she dismisses it but the humor is just as strong as the sadness at the fact that she never valued those things the way Ted did.
Unpopular opinion: I actually liked the original ending of how I met your mother.
@OkayishCreations I did
Yep, I’m agree with you too
I didn't dislike the ending itself, I disliked the execution. It was just way too rushed, they spent their last season with tons of filler eps and then crammed the entire ending into 2 (eps). If they would've taken, say, the entire second half of the season to do it, I think it would've been good.
Ok. I didn’t because he was robbed of the perfect ending that took forever to make. Plus after all that time focusing on them and not the mother takes away from it. So there.
@@BlackDiamond2718 i think now after 2 years of posting that I have to agree with you
Watching this scene makes me realise how complicated and yet loyal and brave Robin is. Who would have the courage to say this to an ex-boyfriend? It also makes plain how Robin consistently loved Ted throughout the series. Amazing.
Robin was terrible in this scene. She’s telling Ted not to get marry because one day she might change her mind and marry him…..that’s a safety net not love
@@Johenzhave we watched the same scene? She was telling Ted that Stella was not the right one and that he was rushing in to it.
@@LovedLambin that same scene she talks about wanting him someday but not yet
Its not the ending he deserve, but the one he needs right now
For me Robin and Ted are just perfect. They've both always been in love to each other. Robin has always been in love with Ted but she didn't chose him bc she knew she couldn't give him the family with kids he wanted so bad, she chose his happiness over hers and that's true love!! The ending couldn't have been any more perfect!!
Saying Robin didn't love Ted is a big blunder. Ted feeling miserable about her marrying Barney is very visible, but her marrying Barney was them bringing their relationship to a conclusion, and Robin said it no other terms when she compared him to her Lobster allergy. She felt depressed about Stella, she was heartbroken about Tracy
I've just watched one of the very last episodes that I had never seen before. When she sees Ted kiss Tracy, she suddenly leaves. Says it all.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 also watch the scene where Ted is discussing wedding plans with Robin and Barney. Look closely at the way Robin reacts( Keep in mind she was married to Barney at the time)
That lobster reference is GENIUS. Well said!! 👍💪
I always thought this scene showed Robin’s emotional maturity about how even though she knows what she and Ted want are completely different things, it doesn’t make Ted’s desires for a wife and kids something to sneer at - she tries to counsel him as a friend with some real talk by reminding him that he deserves to have his dreams fulfilled the right way with someone who loves him back with just as much quirkiness and zeal
Sadly she meant her when she decides she's ready to settle down after years.
I don't really like robins personality but I do love seeing them together and ted + Robin have amazing chemistry
Robin truly loved Ted. She wanted Ted to be truly happy and she knew that Ted deserved better than her( hence she didn’t marry him) and Stella. She knew that Ted deserved better.
We know she loved him but it's kinda weird when she is about losing something she realizes at law minute and not before . E.g When Barney did the shit trick ( I don't like it ,it was a manipulative way to get her back ) , when Barney and Nora were happy suddenly she was in love with him again , and then in the day of her wedding when her mother describes a prefect guy to marry her she thinks in Ted and not the guy who is about to marry , and minutes before the wedding again she realizes she was making a mistake marry Barney instead Ted and tried to go.away with him . I loved the ending but I don't like why the writers became her such a bitch 👎👎
Was hating on Robin on this scene...until what happens next...
Robin is the key factor how ted eventually ended up with tracy.
Robin was just telling Ted what he needed to hear. Stella was just a rebound, and so were the other girls he dated. It came from a good place, it was just the fact that it came from his ex-girlfriend. Ted broke up with Robin because they wanted different things. If they had continued to date, they would have been miserable. In season 2, there were signs they were headed for a breakup because they wanted different things. They didn't connect on a lot of other levels. Sometimes love isn't enough. Ted eventually did end up with someone he deserved. But Robin was who he always wanted to be with. Robin also deserved what she wanted out of life, career and traveling. She got that. She found out she couldn't have kids. They were all young people, and they all had moments of doubt of what they wanted. Lilly called off her wedding to pursue art, Marshall had doubts about when he and Lilly wanted to get pregnant, and Ted went from fling after fling, and Barney had some people he dated, too. They were all growing in different ways and wanting different things. Robin got what she wanted, but there was always something missing. I think this show was pretty brilliant for showing one woman didn't fantasize about the conventional roles; wanting to get married, and have a bunch of kids and stay at home Mom. She knew what she wanted, but she never got what she needed. She could have had it with Barney, but even Barney went back to his old ways when they divorced. He didn't want kids either-until he had a daughter. Robin didn't think marriage was right for her. Robin and Barney had an engagement and there were always signs they would end up together. Ted didn't have to say yes to being the Best Man. Sometimes Ted did things without thinking about it. Because he so desperately wanted to find the one.
Polly Bartoletti this comment is so underrated
You ever wonder if robin didn’t actually care if Stella was right for ted, she just didn’t want to lose her parachute if being a career women didn’t work out.
People missing the point. Ted said it himself. Robin didn't love ted here. She didn't want her back up plan gone. Her words weren't out of love it was FEAR
her words were just out of selfishness, did she honestly think that Ted would wait around forever for her to maybe change her mind out settling down
I don’t like Robin but she’s right here.
I'm not her biggest fan either, but she's not wrong in this scene.
May I ask why you think she's right. I don't think she's right purely cause she seems to always see Ted as a Safety Net. It happened here it happened at her wedding and it happened after her and Barney divorce. She knows that she could be happy with Ted and get her happily ever after but Ted wanted kids and she didn't. She didn't want to give up her freedom/Independence (which ever way you want to look at it) and Ted didn't want to give up his choice of children. But she thought "maybe one day" when that day never actually came. What did she expect? It was inconsiderate and selfish to ask someone to run out on a wedding just for the hopes of one day ending up with Robin. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on the matter.
She was only half right
@@katebeth164 She's not wrong that it's generally awkward being an ex at someone else's wedding and that it brings up unresolved tension. She's also right that Ted was, in this case, being somewhat impulsive in his choice to rush into marriage with Stella.
Another good context scene for the ending
After all this time, I agree with both of them. Robin is right that that's not the grand wedding and love that Ted loves deserves in her eyes, because she knows that Ted is a huge romantic guy. It comes mostly from a place of love. But on the other side, she also has a bit of a questionable and selfish intent (and a bit rude) with this, like Ted said she doesn't want to lose him as a backup boyfriend she can come back to if she doesn't find someone else.
In level of toxicity rachel = robin
Comeon rachel and robin? Rachel was a selfish monster. Robin was just confused. Remember after getting drunk she asked lily why ted wasn't marrying her. Also she took the necklace and said that she was gonna wear it when she was married to ted. She actually loves ted
She just didn't know to phrase it properly because Robin was never good at exposing feelings.
I really love her look in here make up jumper and hair
She might be saying these out of fear of losing Ted or because she’s actually genuine but all of what she says is perfectly true
I know people will really hate about what i am going to say next...wait for it
IN YOUR FACE ROBIN
Ted deserves better love stories :)
he doesn't want perfect he wants Robin
From time to time this TV show had it's moments.
Team blue french horn
She left Tokyo not because she wanted Ted back but because working in Japan is not easy
If we really think about it, everything ended well. Like as we later on realise that Robin couldn't conceive a child at all, the life Ted always wanted, nay deserved. She couldn't just give Ted that life. In the end Ted has kids...became a loving dad and supportive kids who accept Robin and eventually Ted gets to be with the woman he always wanted.
I gotta admit...I didn't hate the ending as much as the rest of the world did. like you said Ted did get what he wanted with kids and the woman of his dreams and all that but my big issue was that throughout season 9 they set up Barney and Robin so much as a couple in showing the audience why they worked as one... just for them to get divorced a couple of years after marriage. it honestly just felt like a big waste of time. that was my issue with it. why set up a couple and show us why they work well just for them not to be together by the end. you could argue they did that with Ted and Robin but with them it's a little different because the writers and the show itself said at the very beginning that Robin isn't the Mother so as many ups and downs Ted had with her we knew from day 1 she wasn't the mother of Teds kids.
Ted deserved way better than robin
The problem I have with this scene is that Robin's criticism is basically that Ted should not marry someone with a kid, which in my opinion is complete crap. Yes, Ted and Stella tried to get married to soon, but that is not her argument. Love often requires sacrifice and Ted as a character is always the first person who will sacrifice in a relationship. Moving into your wife's house in a different state may not be ideal but it is something that you do if you care about someone.
The amazing ending Ted deserves is that.. get back to Robbin at the end.
I mean seriously ??
Ted broke up with Karen, Victoria, Stella, Zoey, and Jeannette, and eventually went back to Robin after Tracy passed because NONE of them compared to Robin.
Zoe Fang ok it's kind of stupid that Barney and Robin break up and Tracy dies and Robin takes Ted back I mean the Himym series is the best but the finale sucks SUCKS
Lots of people want Swarkles to last lifetime. I really thought Barney would completely mature after his marriage to Robin but that was clearly not the case. He was still Barney, still selfish and immature. Plus it's been established that Robin can never have children. Deep down Barney does want children even if he'll never admit it, so he and Robin had to divorce--at this time Robin is completely married to her career and she's always traveling, so she has very little time to spend with Barney. He had to accompany her on all her trips abroad. Needless to say he hates it and Robin won't change who she is for anyone, not even for Barney. Neither of them are willing to make sacrifices/compromises for each other, what else did you expect, the marriage was bound to fall apart and it did, lasting only three years. Robin and Barney are too similar and better off being bros instead of a couple. If they stayed together, Barney could never hold his own daughter in his hands, someone to make him truly feel "Legendary" and give his life meaning and fulfillment.
Robin had to end up with Ted because that's the whole point of this show: The journey to find everlasting love only to know love is imperfect and embrace those imperfections in all its forms. Ted's journey is about Robin and always will be. This show is called "HOW I met Your Mother", not about the mother herself. Tracy is the end product of what happens when Ted has grown and matured enough to finally settle down and live the life he always wanted with a loving wife and two beautiful children. Tracy is too perfect. At the end of the day Ted doesn't want perfection, he wants Robin. Once he got the life he wanted and Robin got the career of her dreams, both of them felt they got exactly what they wanted out of life, and were ready to reunite with each other. Like Tracy told her friend Cindy on her first day of class at Columbia: "We each get one and I got mine already". Max was Tracy's One. Robin is Ted's One. Marshall and Lily are each other's One of course and Barney's One was not Robin, but his daughter, Ellie. Neil Patrick Harris himself states "Barney and Robin don't belong together. She's meant for Ted".
Finally, Ted's speech on lasting love says it all. "If you're looking for a word that describes caring for someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want without asking what's in it for yourself, or how much it destroys you, THAT'S LOVE. When you love someone, you don't stop, EVER. Not even when the whole world calls you crazy or rolls their eyes. If I can accept the world's advice and move on and find someone else, that's another disposable thing. That's not LOVE. That's not what this is"
Zoe Fang finally someone who understands instead of bitching about the ending.
It's fair that Barney and Robin didn't end up together. I find it very rushed how the break up was portrayed after so much effort and such a long time to bring them together, but it can make sense that they don't last. With all the character development, I don't think it had to make sense that way, but it can.
It's also fair, that Ted goes for Robin after his wife has died... but this is not reality. Ted's wife didn't die, and so he has to live on some other way. It's a TV-show. They chose what happened. Tracy was not "too perfect". There's no such thing. If she hadn't died, Ted wouldn't go for Robin, and he wouldn't want to either.
That's just the twist they chose to make, and in my opinion it sucks. It doesn't suck as much as its execution, but it sucks.
In my opinion Ted's story would've ended perfectly, if he met the mother, got the kids, and told the story. The end.
No deaths, no more dating, no extra partners. It's a show. Unlike reality it doesn't go on and on and on.
Robin's story could've ended well with Barney, if that's what they wanted. Barney's always been partying and goofing around. Travelling around doesn't necessarily ruin that for him.
Also, with so much effort put into ending up with Robin, with all the character development Barney's went through, it would've made perfect sense for me that they could make it work.
...and Ted's speech on lasting love was made by the hopeless romantic who had yet to find his one; Tracy. He thought it was Robin. For a long time he thought it was Robin. But he finally found Tracy in the end.
We don't know Max. Max is just a reference Tracy makes. He wasn't a character on the show. All we know is that before Tracy fell for Ted, she thinks she's had her "one true love", and that she can't get over him.
Well, surprise surprise! The show chooses to debunk that notion. Meaning the show does not want you to think "There is only one right person for everyone.". Otherwise they wouldn't have sent Ted to Robin either, because Tracy was indeed the right person for him (just like he was also the right person for Tracy). They just chose to make Robin one as well.
The only thing I like about that horrendous twist at the end is that it supports the notion that you can meet someone who fits you well as a partner, but that the timing still has to be right. That is literally the only positive side to that twist in my opinion.
Zoe Fang yeah that was a bunch of crap just like the ending. If it was true love, one of them would've given up something to be together instead of falling deeply for someone else lmao. I'm not saying only sacrifices mean true love, I'm just saying they clearly didn't choose each other. The ending sucks because it's so forced and ridiculous. Robin doesn't want kids, so let's make Ted hook up with another woman so she can be the breeding pig and give Ted the kids he wants, now her job is done let's kill her off so these two can get back together as intended, oh wait gotta break up her marriage too hum let me think let's make this adventurous guy who used to fly stage to stage just to pick up ons chicks suddenly have trouble with traveling too much and forget about a whole prev season where we make such fusses about how they grow and change and mature. Yeah beautiful love story isn't it.
Oh and btw about your quote, it's sweet but Ted clearly gave up on Robin lmao (of course unless he planned to murder his wife) so what's your point quoting it
robin is the red flag here AND EVERYWHERE SHE IS EMOTIONALLY IMMATURE SHES NOT STABLE SHES INDECISIVE SHE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO MAKE DECISIONS
No Robin was right, Ted was rushing into this wedding and Stella wasn't the one. She literally left him at the altar. She was talking out of place of love mostly, because she knows Ted and knows that he wants a grand wedding because he is such a hopeless romantic. It had some selfish intention too though I agree, because she still wants Ted as an available possibility if she doesn't find someone. It's like she tried to kill 2 birds with one stone by saying what she said.
thats messed up.. giving signs just so that ted is a backup if shes alone.. @@directionergirl1
That's the moment when I started disliking Robin.
dzidziolus why?
@@saraautumn8694 WHY? WHYY!!?
1:44 I did make it rain 😂
Damn why mean girls are so pretty 😍😍
Robin wanted to say « I still love you, don’t get married ». And she was right, Ted was rushing too fast to get married (like Ross with Emily in friends). Ted wanted to get married, not Stella.
such a complicated relationship
I DID MAKE IT RAIN~
dammit elliot

I know this is weird, but the hair over Robin’s ear is driving me crazy.
That’s how I start to hate Robin. Always thinking for herself, even though she knows ted can’t end up with her.
She was right here. Stella wasn’t right for Ted. That’s the fact
I don't really like Robin, in hindsight, because she is an envious, self centered, abrasive jerk with a borderline hair-trigger temper. I especially dislike the character, since her fatal flaws are all traits I struggle with to a certain degree (abrasiveness less so), and yet she makes little effort to overcome them. I believe that she should have ended up with neither Barney nor Ted (Nora should have ended up with Barney, Tracy shouldn't have been killed off). She may be a good worker, but she doesn't function well in romantic relationships. It's no wonder, in my opinion, that Ted tries to portray her as a Romantic False Lead, in contrast to Tracy's Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Ted has reasons not to want to end up with her, and tries to tell the story accordingly, remaining in denial. Unfortunately, his kids realize that he is attracted to Robin, and manipulate him into continuing the story so they can try to convince him to move on from Tracy's untimely demise. Again, why HER?
That said, Robin's not wrong about Ted's intention to marry Stella Zinman being a HUGE mistake.
In hindsight, Stella's amicable personality comes off as a facade, while at least Robin is honest about her personality in comparison.
0:24 “Suck it, b;¥{#! I win.” XD
What pisses me off is that after this scene, Robin goes immediately to see Barney like she said nothing here
Robin might be ultra selfish but she was right. This marriage was a terrible idea.
Even though Robin shouldn't gave been the person telling ted all this considering she is his ex and didn't want to marry him and now she is stopping him from marrying someone else. But she does have a point though. She was right ted was rushing into this. Honestly ted and Stella didn't even seem that much in loveor maybe it's just me. But robin did the right thing by stopping him.
This scene right here, is exactly why the show ended the way it should have.
0:23 I would love to have a wife who made a moment like that. Saying indirectly: I won the big prize you reject.
Here she was right
Man, Robin was right
Ep?
0:16 says the guy that's never done it.
Here’s when Ted should say “you marry me or I’m gone”
I did make it rain😂
