The Over-Correction (#8.10)
ComedyFan20105 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Great episode! They already start it in a fun way that makes one wonder what happens. And it is good how Robin also thought it was a trick made by Barney. And I must say I still suspect it to be one. Barney burning the playbook was too shocking, got to be a fake one! He usually knows everything ahead of time so could have planned it all out to get Robbin.

The episode has so many fun moments! There is when Robin walks around Barney's apartment and finds the bro code. And how she is trying to get Ted to help her by threatening his red cowboy boots. And it was also a hilarious shocker when Lily's phone rang in Barney's apartment.

Marshall facing the horrible discovery of his mom having sex with Lily's dad was also fun. And I loved how Mickey referred to them as "family with benefits".

A Fun Episode
slightlymad2214 February 2015
This episode is one of the sillier episodes of "How I Met Your Mother" but unlike a lot of this season, it is a lot of fun.

Plot In A Paragraph: Robin becomes obsessed with insisting the Barney and Patrice are not for real, Ted suggests he is over correcting his mistake with Quinn, by dating her opposite. Unconvinced Robin breaks in to Barney's apartment to steal The Playbook to prove to Patrice who Barney really is. Meanwhile Marshall's mother has flown in for a visit, which displeases Lily.

There are a lot of laughs to be had here, which is a change for this season. So far only Neil Patrick Harris is emerging from season 8 with any credit. I can see why Jason Segel was rumoured to be hesitant about continuing for another season after this one!!

the burning of the playbook

Warning: Spoilers
Ted talks about Robin's frustrations over Patrice and Barney dating,and the gang claims that Barney is "over-correcting". Ted says that it is when a person does the complete opposite of a mistake to correct it. Example barney dated Quinn whom he didn't trust and now he is over correcting with Patrice. meanwhile Ted is already angry at the gang for failing to return anything they borrowed from him over the years. robin not convinced tries to break barney up with Patrice by telling Patrice the existence of the playbook. so she and Ted go to barneys apartment and try to find the playbook so they end up in the closet. Marshall finds out that his mom and lily's dad are dating which disgusts him into the closet. Lily needed a place to safely use her breast pumps after discovering that her father tried it out on himself so she also was in barney's closet. this leads to a hilarious situation and there were some aahh and ooh moments and one which was the most surprising...

i cant tell it, i have to ,but i cant..
