Here's the best episode of How I Met Your Mother - VIDEO
If you don't watch How I Met Your Mother but are curious about why we all love it so damn much, I suggest you watch the "Slap Bet" episode. It was the one that got me hooked. And, as Joel said, it was "one of the funniest half-hours of comedy on TV in 2006". The entire episode is on the HIMYM official MySpace page and it's also embedded after the jump inside this post.Why is it so funny? Hmmm. Let me count the ways. Uh... only because there's face-slapping. And Robin Sparkles. Those two elements alone make it legen...wait for it...dary!
Seriously, though. This episode is all the characters at their best. Robin is vulnerable and ultimately humiliated. Barney is all kinds of in love with himself, Ted is obsessive-compulsive, and Marshall and Lily are at their super-cutest. Plus, this is one of those episodes where you don't need to know anyone's backstory to get a kick out of it. Watch it, then go rent the first season on DVD.
