The CBS hit sitcom offers four valuable love lessons to the Gen X/Gen Y set.
No one has probably ever told you this but being a successful twentysomething living in New York The City isn't all peaches and cream. There are job stress, living situation stress, friendship stress, relationship stress and sometimes Bob Saget smugly reminisces about the whole sordid affair. While How I Met Your Mother is a framed as flashback of the protagonist's (Ted) quest to find a woman to make babies with him, the ensemble brings much for to the table than that. HIMYM is, at its heart, about relationships.
NPH and David Burtka are holding out on children just a bit longer.
There have been a few rumors being batted around that say Neil Patrick Harris is expecting a child. Seeing as he and his partner, the super cool David Burtka, are both men and thus incapable of becoming pregnant, we were mildly skeptical of the story. Jokes aside, obviously NPH and David Burtka could very easily have secured a surrogate (with their money and good looks) but the star of How I Met Your Mother has told New York Magazine that they are waiting a bit before they become parents though he says that he and David "would make very good parents."
Justin Timberlake & Andy Samberg's video brings up a lot of questions.
Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg had another great video called Motherlover this past weekend. Sure it was funny, but does it violate every tenet of the bro code?
Cobie Smulders and Taran Killam to get married, have a baby (in some order).
Cobie Smulders is engaged to marry Taran Killam. So what? Well she's the feisty, sexy Robin Scherbatsky from How I Met Your Mother and she's basically off of the market. Way to take a "wait and see" approach, hot shot. It turns out that Robin Sparkles is into guys who are funny, good-looking and relatively successful. And her guy Taran Killam has been on The Price Is Right, did one season of MadTV and is probably friends with Nick Cannon. And you, you just really like the character Barney Stinson. Life is not fair.
Which TV characters would you invite to your bachelor party?
A bachelor party is a sacred time in a man's life. It represents his last gasp as a footloose and fancy-pantsed dude before he takes the plunge into marriage. The prospect of agreeing to "have" one woman for the rest of your life is, obviously, carte blanche to go to Las Vegas, roll some dice and make a few really bad decisions. And the dudes you bring along can make it a time to remember (because it will not last forever). Choose wisely and keep in mind that a bachelor party snub (for guys) is way worse than not getting invited to the wedding.
Here are 10 characters on TV who'll keep that stag party off the chain but, ideally, not get you knifed:
Brian The Dog (Family Guy): Peter's faithful best friend is erudite, clever, sarcastic and an alcoholic. While he may pretend to be above strip clubs, he’s not. Be careful, he may insist on seeing a show or doing something constructive.
