How I Met Your Mother is one of the best comedies on American television at the moment. I’ve particularly enjoyed their running gags (none more than the repercussions of the slap bet) and their clever creation of websites to which the show directs viewers (Ted Mosby is a Jerk, Barney’s Video Resume, etc.) Last night was their 100th episode. It’s become an odd tradition in long-running shows to make round-numbered episodes particularly memorable. Clark’s father died in episode 100 of Smallville, and who could forget Stargate SG:1‘s hallucinogenic episode 200?
I won’t spoil the revelations in the episode, but I will spoil the fact that the episode ends with Barney singing a musical number entitled “Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit”. Of course, Doogie Howser MD is no stranger to singing, having already starred in Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog – created by Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s Joss Whedon and the best thing to ever come out of a writer’s strike.
But more to the point, here, for the second time on YouTube and inexplicably mirrored backwards, is the cast of How I Met Your Mother singing “Nothing Suits Me like a Suit”! Yaaaaaay!
That “Yaaaaaay” was meant to sound like Kermit the Frog. So now you know.
