I watched that three times. Barney being backhand bitch slapped cracks me up every time.

I'm confused though. barney's been slapped twice now? when did I miss the second one?

for some reason just this channel was all static and I missed it :-(

This season has been really lousy for this show. What I liked about it was that it avoided some of the sitcom cliches and was slightly edgy for a show on CBS at 8. Now its just meh.

All that said, the slap bet was awesome.

Season's been okay. Nothing as good as last year (which was incredible), but I've liked the episodes. Of course it's really hard to go more than a few seasons without turning the characters into caricatures.

Good thread, keepitreal. I almost started a thread a few weeks ago on what I'm pretty sure was one of the best-written single episodes of any sitcom since the Seinfeld era.

It was the "how they all met" one with The Vicki Mendoza diagonal (which leads into the horrible Shelly Gillespie zone). The hot-crazy scale. It was genius -- but so were the running gags like eating sandwiches=smoking weed and Ted's sign language.

Some good lines:
Lily:"You're too much tongue guy?"
Ted: "And you're unreasonably small mouth girl?"
Barney: "Worst. Superheroes. Ever."

That's the general idea.

I think this show has actually gotten better this season than ever before, with the exception of last week (the week before slapbet).

I think Marshall and Barney make the show for the most part, with Robin, Lily and Ted just being filler for the rest of the show.

However, I definitely think it's getting better and compared to what's out there it's damn good.
