I normally love How I Met Your Mother, but this was one of the worst episodes of all time. I'd probably rank it lower than I would the Britney Spears episode. My sister and I actually fast-forwarded through the latter half to see how it ended, simply because the actual episode was so unbearable.
If you are a Robarney fan, this episode was unfortunate enough. But the break-up of this couple was NOT even close to the foremost reason I disliked it. It was, quite simply, bizarre. The off-kilter humor contained in this episode has appeared briefly in others in the past, but in this episode, dominated and detracted from the typical HIMYM humor I've come to enjoy so much.
If you've found the rest of this season enjoyable and believed the show to be stronger than ever prior to this episode, you may not enjoy it. Fortunately, the rest of the season has been so good that I plan on counting this as a fluke and hope to enjoy many more good episodes yet to come.
