One Of The Best Episodes
slightlymad2224 December 2014
TV gold right here ladies and gentleman, this is one of THE best episodes of "How I Met Your Mother"

Plot In A Paragraph: When the gang hear of a desperate move by a date got Robin in to bed, Barney is impressed enough to want to try it, and convinced Ted that he too should try the move known as "The Naked Man". Meanwhile Lily tries to compile a list of reasons to have sex.

This was brilliant. When Barmey and Ted were both naked trying out positions for the naked man, I was actually howling with laughter, and did not stop!! It was hilarious.

I was talking about this episode the next day in a bar with my friends, and they all agreed it was one of the best episodes.

The Naked Man (#4.9)

Very hilarious. The idea of the naked man is great. And I really liked Adam Paul as Mitch, he was hilarious in this character. Only Robin is a disappointment with her worry people may see her as a slut. I prefer the ones who have random sex proudly instead of trying to fit into sexist views of society. Can't believe they made Robin like that. But let's be real, in this episode it actually works for the good as it gives us some extra fun with the "i am not a slut date".

And yes, so funny. The reasons for sex were pretty laugh out loud funny, and I also loved Ted and Barney getting ready for the naked man and discuss how they will be presenting it. Poor Barney of course, but after all it is 2 out of 3!

Awful Misogyny and Double Standards
vishakhha1 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Funny how the writers forget half of their audience is women. Just like so many episodes of season 3, this one is filled with misogyny too. Marshall starts calling Robin a slut for having a one night stand. Not once, but multiple times. Yes, Marshall is Robin's friend. Yes, Barney is sitting at the same table . Barney, who is nothing more than a man whore and is made out to be a stud. They never showed anybody slut shaming Barney, interestingly. However he slut shames Robin repeatedly, nobody jumps to her defense and the usually self assured Robin turns into this complete insecure, mess who instead of confronting Marshall for being a douche starts to project herself in the good girl image. Shows like these influence men and women across the world. Funny how writers twist masculinity and feminity to suit their utterly sexist and misogynistic world view : Anything typically masculine that men do is cool. Anything typically masculine that females do is disgusting(like One Night Stands). Anything typically feminine that females do is whiny, uncool or disgusting. Anything typically feminine that males do is disgusting, like how they make Marshall to be a wuss when he talks about love, or having sex with just Lily.

Friends was much better than HIMYM on misogyny. I guess there were more female writers in their team. If ever possible, I would like to pose this question to HIMYM team on how they exactly thought misogyny was 'funny' and 'harmless' as well as the deprecating way they depict Marshall. And why they thought a girl would just sit their and listen with a smile while she is called a slut. Dear writers, you should've known this when you were 12 year old boys. We will kick somebody's ass for calling us that instead of sitting and smiling . And yes, , friends definitely don't call that to each other.
