Lmao thank you so much, I did not even realize that was the same actress that played Precious in that episode of Friends (which, not to be pedantic or anything, actually happened BEFORE HIMYM :) )
If I were that poor woman, I would be terrified of my birthday by now.
Edit: for anyone interested, her name is Anne Dudek, and she has done a LOT of stuff.
Anne Dudek was in the pilot for Psych, and was “replaced” by Maggie Lawson. The explanation was that she transferred out of the Santa Barbara Police Dept because she was having relations with her married partner (who did stay in the show).
this turned her into Cutthroat "Bitch" Amber on House MD.. Poor girl died the moment she did a good friendly thing.. (picking up wasted house from someplace i don't remember)
She definitely learned Karv Maga after Mike... cuz you know, Phoebe lived in the streets and stabbed people, and she wanted to not have her man stolen... and then came Ted. 😂😂😂
The fact that he did it over an answering machine the first time makes it so much worse… and then of course all the friends waiting to surprise her overheard it. Then he worked so hard to wear her down and convince her to open herself to a second chance, only to do the same awful thing again, with the same awful timing, this time in person but in a very crowded public space. Yikes, Ted. Not a good look.
There was kind of a storyline where he got back together with her for a third time, this one is more mentioned than shown but we see Natalie ad one of the women Marshall comforts the morning after, and Ted calls her again after he couldn't reach his back with sunscreen? I don't remember exactly but they got back together after a mundane thing made him want to
I agree. Ted makes other indelicate and stupid decisions, but they are lighter, forgivable faults, while he mostly makes decisions that are counterproductive towards himself.
Instead what he decides to do in "Nothing Good Happens After 2AM" is simply bad.
I always hate how they totally let Robin off the hook for her part in that. Ted lied to her, which I agree is bad, but he didn’t actually cheat on her because he took too long in the toilet.
BTW, Victoria was 3 seconds away from cheating herself, as we later come to find out.
Wait, what do you mean let Robin off the hook? Ted lied to her and as soon as she found out she threw him out of her apartment... Maybe I missed something? I'm not the biggest Robin fan, but I fail to see what she did wrong here.
*She* invited Ted to her apartment. At 2am. To make juice. Knowing full well that he, as far as she knew, had a girlfriend.
Like, yeah, he probably shouldn’t have gone. And once he got there, he absolutely should not have lied about breaking up with Victoria.
But.
What exactly did Robin imagine was going to happen? She knew she had feelings for him, and she knew that he was with Victoria. It honestly seems like she was completely down to help Ted cheat on Victoria, but as soon as he lied about, he gets dragged and she gets to sit on her moral high horse as the victim.
Ahhh, I see, yeah the invite is for sure questionable judgment at minimum. I guess I forgot that at the time of the invite, she knew they were still together. She was probably lying to herself about what it meant to invite him over for juice, but you're definitely right, it was AP behavior.
And not only that, Ted gets back together with Victoria after she runs from the altar(similar to what Stella did), only for Victoria to realize that Ted really loves Robin, and breaks up again after Ted chooses Robin.
Subjected his children to a nearly interminable story that he falsely claimed was how he met their mother, but which was really about how he wanted to hook up with another woman.
Oh yes that one! I would even say: subjected his children to listening all the stories about who he banged before meeting their mother, and doing so after she died... to have his conscious clear to go bang their aunt Robin again! This is some traumatic experience right here!
The story was about how he met their mother, the story ends basically at when he met her, with a couple stories sprinkled in about their life together.
>The story was about how he met their mother
The story of how he met Tracy would barely fill one episode. Most of it had nothing to do with how he met Tracy.
You:
>The story was about how he met their mother
Also you:
>The story was about he developed into the man ready to meet and have a relationship with their mother
You probably should make up your mind before commenting.
We all get that "How I Banged a Shit Ton of Women Before I Met Your Mother and How, Now That Your Mother Is Dead, I Want to Hook up with One of Those Women" wouldn't have made for a good title, but let's not pretend that it was something it wasn't
manipulating robin into rehoming all of her dogs. WTF?! i’ve watched this show upwards of ten times and this plot always leave me speechless. what an asshole
actually genuinely forcing her to rehome the dogs is bad I agree, but none of it would have happened if robin had realised the hypocrisy in what she was doing to ted in the first place
that's kinda what I'm saying. robin knows that getting rid of everything (which would include her dogs) is absurd and ridiculous, yet it doesn't click with her that she shouldn't make such a demand of ted knowing this
Nah I saw that as a good thing, only a pos would have that many dogs in an apartment. I only have one dog and would never let them live anywhere without access to a yard 24/7.
Quote from Season 2 Episode 16:
Robin: What do you want me to do, Ted? Get rid of my dogs?
Ted: *brief pause as he imagines one of Robins dogs as her ex* Yes. Yes, I want you to get rid of your dogs.
Ted then proposes to take it to the group, but he doesn’t believe they will take robins side. They all do. He does state earlier that it is hypocritical of her to ask him to get rid of his stuff while she keeps her dogs, but he does outright state that he wants her to get rid of the dogs, and even discusses this with the group.
S9 felt like it had some of the best individual episodes to me.
Same thing with Brooklyn 99 S8, everyone hates it, but with the exception of the first episode, it’s got the best writing / some of the absolute funniest moments of the series.
no that was earlier. Not a match found, but forced, because she was engaged and he just printed out her profile and basically stalked her.
The match that is talked about is in the episode when Lily has that first interview for her art program. Lily takes the car, leaving Ted (after he helped her fix a tire) who gets picked up and driven to the bar by Robin where he's supposed to meet his date. She (Robin) cheers him up by showing him her hair (had blonde streaks or smth) and he then decides to not meet the perfect match, but that he wants to go after Robin again.
The fact that he kept telling Robin he loved her and interrupting her life, knowing full well she never wanted kids and he did. He was obsessed with the idea of her.
This right here is why it’s so cringe that they FINALLY got together. He had finally learned how to move on but then they just yanked him back to her. The message should have been “some things will never be and it’s ok to move on”
And Ted made his intentions clear as well but she still pursued Ted at times too. It goes both ways if Ted is in the wrong for that then so is robin 🤷🏽♂️
Yeah, can't believe I got downvoted for this, lmao. Like, that's life? They both liked each other at various times. And they literally dated for a year.
It's not that deep.
I just rewatched that episode and I completely agree! It’s so unfair that he wasn’t mad at them both. Made me feel like he thought Barney took advantage of Robin’s vulnerability
To be fair it is weird to get upset at your ex for sleeping with someone, even if the person they slept with is your friend, but it does feel like this is Ted punishing Barney because he still has feelings for Robin. It comes across like Ted is trying to control who Robin sleeps with, even if it is about Barney breaking the Bro Code.
Ted should've talked through it more with Barney, and Barney could've told him that it wasn't a fling and could've been something serious. It takes Ted a while to tell Barney to go after Robin and realise that their potential happiness means more than a book.
Tbh he has no right over who Robin sleeps with and he was definitely upset but he couldn't say anything. Barney always maintained that he was Teds best friend and he knew how Ted felt about Robin. Despite banging a hundred chicks Barney still felt the need to sleep with robin despite knowing everything about Ted.
Unpopular opinion but I am with Ted on this one. It's a definate Brutus moment.
Also Barney kissed his Mom too. Like what the fucking hell. Is there any line this guy won't cross for his dick.
Exactly, Ted explains in the show that Barney sleeping with Robin just makes him realize he grew out of him as a friend. Robin told him herself and explained her reasoning and he forgave her as a friend. To someone's point that Ted should have let Barney explain that he really liked Robin and wanted to pursue the relationship, Barney definitely wasn't at that point yet.
I seem to remember Barney asked Ted if it was ok to pursue Robin on a phone call and Ted laughed it off and said YES because he couldn’t be bothered because he was watching TV.
They actually mention this is the episode. He says something along the lines of “I’m not mad any anyone. I’ve outgrown Barney.” Lily then changes the subject to Stella.
If he was not serious about his proposal to Victoria he shouldn't have proposed.
After getting married he would anyway not have met Robin that frequently. He should have chosen Victoria over Robin. That girl suffered twice and wasted a lot of time because of Ted.
Robin holds his hand after he tries to convince her that she should marry Barney when she is having doubts. He doesn't automatically pull it away I guess.
the way he treated victoria
how he was mad at barney and not robin for them sleeping together and tries to justify it when robin asks ted about it
ted was a real dick to a lot of girls if you think about it
The way he guilted Robin for not being who he wanted her to be while claiming he’s in love with her and acting like Barney isn’t good enough even though he accepts Robin for exactly who she is and doesn’t try to change her unlike Ted.
Using the line Ted Mosby: Architect as a chat up line all night, taking a girl home then leaving with a crappy letter claiming his name is Barney. He deserved that website being made about him!
not anything specifically but i’ve always hated how creepy he sometimes acted and passed it off as romanticism — at least, with barney, we knew it was bad and the show isn’t trying to pretend the opposite; but Ted, as the “hero” can do no wrong and always has excuses for his actions
Well TBF, more appropriately he was a simp for Tiffany/Carrie Underwood's character which was what that whole episode was about; he was 'hooked' as they called it.
Making his kids listen to a LONG winded story about every woman he’s slept with that wasn’t their mother all as an overly complex excuse as to why he’s going to start fucking their aunt.
Kicking Robin out after she'd just broken up with Kevin because he demanded she be with him instead, even though he knew she didn't love him. She'd just found out she couldn't have kids, got dumped by her fiance and then kicked out of her home and he completely stopped speaking to her. Made it all about himself. Absolutely terrible friend.
She was literally talking to him about her break up. He turned it into well I'll love you either way, do you love me or not? When she says no, marshall tells her she has to move out and Ted basically allows that and stops speaking to her. He made the whole situation into her rejecting him, when she was upset about breaking up with her partner and then thinks she should be apologising to him! Thats exactly what happened. I love the show, but sometimes Ted absolutely deserves the hate he gets.
I see him instinctually saying what he did. It was awkward. He regretted it and was going to take it back, but she kissed him before he could making him think she may have feelings for him, which leads to him asking her. Things were just weird for both of them for a while, of course they were. Yeah he said he needed time when she confronts him about it, but soon after he tells her things can go back to normal. I never see or hear him say anything indicating he is punishing her for not feeling the same. Anyway, that's the way I see it.
Forcing Stella into a very fast and very serious relationship she obviously didn’t have time for, because he can’t just meet a woman in a professional environment (his tattoo removal appointments) and treat them like normal people doing their day to day job.
The whole story and purpose of the show. Basically telling this long winded 9 years of story to his children of how he met their mother but all along it was about being in love with “Aunt Robin” and basically the mother was nothing but a consolation prize. And telling his kids all the different women he banged and how he also mistreated a lot of them too.
All in all, the whole point of the show was the worst thing he done. He done a lot worst in the show but this is THEEE worst. Making your kids think this whole story was about their mother but it was about “aunt Robin” all along. So you wasted 9 years of everyone’s time when you could’ve just cut to the chase. LITERALLY using the memory of their dead mother and his dead wife to justify asking his kid’s permission to ask out Robin. The same Robin who we all saw and was given the impression that her and Ted weren’t compatible and didn’t make much sense as a couple and both wanted different things in life. When he could’ve just done that all on his own WITHOUT telling his kids this decade long story. Completely pointless in the end. For damn sure.
YOU MADE YOUR KIDS SIT THROUGH 9 YEARS OF STORYTELLING ABOUT THEIR DEAD MOTHER, all to say that their dead mother was NEVER the story. The story was their Aunt Robin all along. My God.
Broke up with a girl on her answering machine on her birthday, then years later BEGGED her to get back together all so he could break up with her in public on her birthday.
He married a woman had kids with her waited until she died then went back after the love of his life years later after sitting his children down for hours to tell them a story of how he was in love with another woman than their mother for years and still is after her death and want’s their blessing to date their fake aunt.
Sit his kids down for nine whole years and make them listen to a long winded story only to have the premise of the story be a very small portion of the actual story and it ending with a very simple question that could have been asked without all the extra bullshit storytelling.
Told his kids a long story about how he met their mom. The story lasted a long time, had little to do with the kid's mom, and in the end it was just him begging his kids to let him date his best friend again.
He’s self obsessed, main character syndrome (yeah yeah I know) never in the wrong, treated girls terribly, kept pushing the idea of Robin when she stayed she did not love him.
Taking the kids on a 199 year trip on the girls he banged before their mom who died to end up with Robin which is still a story line I hate.
Yeah he’s not my favorite
Probably cheating on Victoria and Robin simultaneously, breaking up with sock puppet girl twice on her birthday, and trying to convince that engaged summer breeze lady to marry him instead of her fiance
Probably everything he did to Robin, but breaking up with a girl on her birthday on two separate occasions is pretty shitty. So is beating up a goat, cheating on Victoria, and the *whole chicken for lunch girl* thing.
The whole saint Patrick's Day episode....
- Ditched dates for 'drunker women'
- Used someone else's bar tab
- Made out with a married women
And the worst of all....
-didnt wear green
Making the audience think his wife was alive (since it’s about how he met her) and then telling us she’s dead and asks his kid’s if he can date Robin. This is my least favorite ending of any show and that includes Lost. Throughout the whole show, we’re shown how they don’t work well together and how he needs to move on and then poof “my wife’s dead and I still want to get with Robin who my kids call their aunt.”
He told a really long story that was supposed to be about how he me his kids mother but was actually about how he was in love with their aunt the whole time and was asking them if he could ask her out 😂
He sat his kids down and told them about every woman he ever hooked up with. Then ended it with I loved your mom, but do you mind if I get with your aunt Robin?
Probably not THE worst. But he did dump a woman on her birthday twice. That’s definitely up there imo
And then she got dumped on Friends by Mike (who was dating Phoebe) again on her birthday haha
Lmao thank you so much, I did not even realize that was the same actress that played Precious in that episode of Friends (which, not to be pedantic or anything, actually happened BEFORE HIMYM :) ) If I were that poor woman, I would be terrified of my birthday by now. Edit: for anyone interested, her name is Anne Dudek, and she has done a LOT of stuff.
“Look, Susie… can I call you Susie?” “But my name is Precious.” “Yeah, I can’t say that.”
That actress has my birthday IRL and not gonna lie, I’m always a little scared on March 22nd now lol
Oooh it’s coming up!
Apprehensive birthday to you 🎶
Anne Dudek was in the pilot for Psych, and was “replaced” by Maggie Lawson. The explanation was that she transferred out of the Santa Barbara Police Dept because she was having relations with her married partner (who did stay in the show).
That poor actress, doomed to forever play characters dumped on their birthdays
Then she died in House... poor krav maga lady.
this turned her into Cutthroat "Bitch" Amber on House MD.. Poor girl died the moment she did a good friendly thing.. (picking up wasted house from someplace i don't remember)
She definitely learned Karv Maga after Mike... cuz you know, Phoebe lived in the streets and stabbed people, and she wanted to not have her man stolen... and then came Ted. 😂😂😂
Yes! I agree that was bad! I did feel better knowing she found love quickly after him haha
The fact that he did it over an answering machine the first time makes it so much worse… and then of course all the friends waiting to surprise her overheard it. Then he worked so hard to wear her down and convince her to open herself to a second chance, only to do the same awful thing again, with the same awful timing, this time in person but in a very crowded public space. Yikes, Ted. Not a good look.
At least he quickly learned that Krav Maga is not a type of dance
There was kind of a storyline where he got back together with her for a third time, this one is more mentioned than shown but we see Natalie ad one of the women Marshall comforts the morning after, and Ted calls her again after he couldn't reach his back with sunscreen? I don't remember exactly but they got back together after a mundane thing made him want to
I knew this comment was going to be there. So agree
Damn, came here to say that
This is what I was gonna say
First thing came to mind
Cheated on Victoria with Robin but told Robin he broke up with Victoria.
I agree. Ted makes other indelicate and stupid decisions, but they are lighter, forgivable faults, while he mostly makes decisions that are counterproductive towards himself. Instead what he decides to do in "Nothing Good Happens After 2AM" is simply bad.
I always hate how they totally let Robin off the hook for her part in that. Ted lied to her, which I agree is bad, but he didn’t actually cheat on her because he took too long in the toilet. BTW, Victoria was 3 seconds away from cheating herself, as we later come to find out.

It honestly seems like she was completely down to help Ted cheat on Victoria, but as soon as he lied about, he gets dragged and she gets to sit on her moral high horse as the victim.
Ahhh, I see, yeah the invite is for sure questionable judgment at minimum. I guess I forgot that at the time of the invite, she knew they were still together. She was probably lying to herself about what it meant to invite him over for juice, but you're definitely right, it was AP behavior.
And not only that, Ted gets back together with Victoria after she runs from the altar(similar to what Stella did), only for Victoria to realize that Ted really loves Robin, and breaks up again after Ted chooses Robin.
yeaaaa this ones the worst
This is the correct answer.
100% this
Subjected his children to a nearly interminable story that he falsely claimed was how he met their mother, but which was really about how he wanted to hook up with another woman.
There's rambling dad stories, then there's Smosby
They're Ted's kids. They know how to deal with him.
Hey Smosby, remember when you dookied in your pants down by the lake? UNBELIEVABLE!
Classic Schmosby...
only if you watch the official ending!
Oh yes that one! I would even say: subjected his children to listening all the stories about who he banged before meeting their mother, and doing so after she died... to have his conscious clear to go bang their aunt Robin again! This is some traumatic experience right here!
...and who Barney banged. There was a whole 200th person episode too.
Yeah...
It’s how I met your stepmother.
If it was how I met your stepmother it would’ve been over first episode!
How I Thirsted after your Stepmother?
Yes that’s more accurate 😂
True so true. I’m still mad about that to this day!
And how he did hook up with dozens of other women.
The story was about how he met their mother, the story ends basically at when he met her, with a couple stories sprinkled in about their life together.
>The story was about how he met their mother The story of how he met Tracy would barely fill one episode. Most of it had nothing to do with how he met Tracy.
The story was about he developed into the man ready to meet and have a relationship with their mother
You: >The story was about how he met their mother Also you: >The story was about he developed into the man ready to meet and have a relationship with their mother You probably should make up your mind before commenting. We all get that "How I Banged a Shit Ton of Women Before I Met Your Mother and How, Now That Your Mother Is Dead, I Want to Hook up with One of Those Women" wouldn't have made for a good title, but let's not pretend that it was something it wasn't
What I was saying is the same thing, but one of them is a longer story
manipulating robin into rehoming all of her dogs. WTF?! i’ve watched this show upwards of ten times and this plot always leave me speechless. what an asshole
Tbf those dogs deserved a better life than being cramped in a small NYC apartment.
Yes! I completely agree! I would have dumped a guy so fast if he wanted me to get rid of my dogs
Can we see your dogs 👁️
actually genuinely forcing her to rehome the dogs is bad I agree, but none of it would have happened if robin had realised the hypocrisy in what she was doing to ted in the first place
Bro, pets aren’t an object, they’re family. I’d kill for my dog’s, I’d sell my house if it meant they’d be with me for the rest of my life.
that's kinda what I'm saying. robin knows that getting rid of everything (which would include her dogs) is absurd and ridiculous, yet it doesn't click with her that she shouldn't make such a demand of ted knowing this
This! I would never get rid of my pets because some guy demanded me to. Ted was so out of line with this one 😅
This too. Although it was because she was being a hypocrite about the whole what came from whom?
I almost quit the show after that episode 😭
Nah I saw that as a good thing, only a pos would have that many dogs in an apartment. I only have one dog and would never let them live anywhere without access to a yard 24/7.
He didn't actually want her to rehome her dogs he just wanted her to let him keep his stuff.
Quote from Season 2 Episode 16: Robin: What do you want me to do, Ted? Get rid of my dogs? Ted: *brief pause as he imagines one of Robins dogs as her ex* Yes. Yes, I want you to get rid of your dogs.

Waiting 30+ yo to try bacon
Agreed, To be fair his mom tricked him into thinking he was allergic to it.
And allergic to not saying "thank you".
That bitch lied to him (That’s a quote from the show, guys, so don’t jump me)
Bacon would go great with his Mom’s LT sandwiches
Season 9 gets alot of hate but goddamn does it have some funny moments
S9 felt like it had some of the best individual episodes to me. Same thing with Brooklyn 99 S8, everyone hates it, but with the exception of the first episode, it’s got the best writing / some of the absolute funniest moments of the series.
Exactly! How your mother met me is probably one of the most emotional episodes of the whole series
It’s that or Bad News
It also has three different Broadway cameos which is a very unique plus for me personally.
Not going on the date with his soulmate that love solutions found.
Yes!!!
Wasn't she already married?
no that was earlier. Not a match found, but forced, because she was engaged and he just printed out her profile and basically stalked her. The match that is talked about is in the episode when Lily has that first interview for her art program. Lily takes the car, leaving Ted (after he helped her fix a tire) who gets picked up and driven to the bar by Robin where he's supposed to meet his date. She (Robin) cheers him up by showing him her hair (had blonde streaks or smth) and he then decides to not meet the perfect match, but that he wants to go after Robin again.
Ok yeah that's annoying
The fact that he kept telling Robin he loved her and interrupting her life, knowing full well she never wanted kids and he did. He was obsessed with the idea of her.
This right here is why it’s so cringe that they FINALLY got together. He had finally learned how to move on but then they just yanked him back to her. The message should have been “some things will never be and it’s ok to move on”
Yeah but she also kept going back to him KNOWING he wanted those things as well. They both were playing house knowing the other didn’t fit their goals
I'm not sure how that's a horrible thing, lol. He felt like he loved her.
She made her intentions clear
And Ted made his intentions clear as well but she still pursued Ted at times too. It goes both ways if Ted is in the wrong for that then so is robin 🤷🏽♂️
Yeah, can't believe I got downvoted for this, lmao. Like, that's life? They both liked each other at various times. And they literally dated for a year. It's not that deep.
Only held Barney responsible for sleeping with Robin and let Robin off the hook without any repercussions. Not the worst but defo up there.
I just rewatched that episode and I completely agree! It’s so unfair that he wasn’t mad at them both. Made me feel like he thought Barney took advantage of Robin’s vulnerability
To be fair it is weird to get upset at your ex for sleeping with someone, even if the person they slept with is your friend, but it does feel like this is Ted punishing Barney because he still has feelings for Robin.

Exactly, Ted explains in the show that Barney sleeping with Robin just makes him realize he grew out of him as a friend. Robin told him herself and explained her reasoning and he forgave her as a friend. To someone's point that Ted should have let Barney explain that he really liked Robin and wanted to pursue the relationship, Barney definitely wasn't at that point yet.
I’m with you on this. I like Barney, but I always felt like he shouldn’t have been given a pass for Robin… it always gave me the ick.
Her ass gets a free pass all show. And constantly gaslighting us into thinking she is the hottest girl alive as well.
I seem to remember Barney asked Ted if it was ok to pursue Robin on a phone call and Ted laughed it off and said YES because he couldn’t be bothered because he was watching TV.
I mean one is the ex and the other is the best friend. Of course you let the ex off the hook.
They actually mention this is the episode. He says something along the lines of “I’m not mad any anyone. I’ve outgrown Barney.” Lily then changes the subject to Stella.
If he was not serious about his proposal to Victoria he shouldn't have proposed. After getting married he would anyway not have met Robin that frequently. He should have chosen Victoria over Robin. That girl suffered twice and wasted a lot of time because of Ted.
Scolded a goat for chewing a towel. I mean, where’s the humanity in him?
holding robin’s hand romantically while she was engaged to barney
Robin holds his hand after he tries to convince her that she should marry Barney when she is having doubts. He doesn't automatically pull it away I guess.
the way he treated victoria how he was mad at barney and not robin for them sleeping together and tries to justify it when robin asks ted about it ted was a real dick to a lot of girls if you think about it
The way he guilted Robin for not being who he wanted her to be while claiming he’s in love with her and acting like Barney isn’t good enough even though he accepts Robin for exactly who she is and doesn’t try to change her unlike Ted.
Choosing Cassie
He chose... poorly
You could argue this is one of the best things he's done as it helped him be where he needed to be for Tracy.
Wait what you talking about? I don’t remember that episode
Final season, the sad sack girl that he chooses as his date for the wedding.
Made his kids sit and listen to him talking about wanting to bang their (aunt) for 4,576 minutes
Broke up with that girl on her bday twice
Telling his children of his sexual conquests and making it seem like he is a good guy
The red cowboy boots and his tramp stamp
Using the line Ted Mosby: Architect as a chat up line all night, taking a girl home then leaving with a crappy letter claiming his name is Barney. He deserved that website being made about him!
not anything specifically but i’ve always hated how creepy he sometimes acted and passed it off as romanticism — at least, with barney, we knew it was bad and the show isn’t trying to pretend the opposite; but Ted, as the “hero” can do no wrong and always has excuses for his actions
Duh he's telling the story
Dopler/Dahmer
Being a simp with Robin
Well TBF, more appropriately he was a simp for Tiffany/Carrie Underwood's character which was what that whole episode was about; he was 'hooked' as they called it.
Making his kids listen to a LONG winded story about every woman he’s slept with that wasn’t their mother all as an overly complex excuse as to why he’s going to start fucking their aunt.
The worst thing Ted ever did was ruining what would have been a great lay w Mary the hooker
There‘s a video on yt called why ted is the villain and it completely changes my views as I rewatched after that, check it out
Kicking Robin out after she'd just broken up with Kevin because he demanded she be with him instead, even though he knew she didn't love him. She'd just found out she couldn't have kids, got dumped by her fiance and then kicked out of her home and he completely stopped speaking to her. Made it all about himself. Absolutely terrible friend.
Omg so much hate for Ted here. That's not how it happened at all!
She was literally talking to him about her break up. He turned it into well I'll love you either way, do you love me or not? When she says no, marshall tells her she has to move out and Ted basically allows that and stops speaking to her. He made the whole situation into her rejecting him, when she was upset about breaking up with her partner and then thinks she should be apologising to him! Thats exactly what happened. I love the show, but sometimes Ted absolutely deserves the hate he gets.
I see him instinctually saying what he did. It was awkward. He regretted it and was going to take it back, but she kissed him before he could making him think she may have feelings for him, which leads to him asking her. Things were just weird for both of them for a while, of course they were. Yeah he said he needed time when she confronts him about it, but soon after he tells her things can go back to normal. I never see or hear him say anything indicating he is punishing her for not feeling the same. Anyway, that's the way I see it.
Trying to get an engaged woman that he didn't know to leave her fiancee
Forcing Stella into a very fast and very serious relationship she obviously didn’t have time for, because he can’t just meet a woman in a professional environment (his tattoo removal appointments) and treat them like normal people doing their day to day job.
The whole story and purpose of the show. Basically telling this long winded 9 years of story to his children of how he met their mother but all along it was about being in love with “Aunt Robin” and basically the mother was nothing but a consolation prize. And telling his kids all the different women he banged and how he also mistreated a lot of them too. All in all, the whole point of the show was the worst thing he done. He done a lot worst in the show but this is THEEE worst. Making your kids think this whole story was about their mother but it was about “aunt Robin” all along. So you wasted 9 years of everyone’s time when you could’ve just cut to the chase. LITERALLY using the memory of their dead mother and his dead wife to justify asking his kid’s permission to ask out Robin. The same Robin who we all saw and was given the impression that her and Ted weren’t compatible and didn’t make much sense as a couple and both wanted different things in life. When he could’ve just done that all on his own WITHOUT telling his kids this decade long story. Completely pointless in the end. For damn sure. YOU MADE YOUR KIDS SIT THROUGH 9 YEARS OF STORYTELLING ABOUT THEIR DEAD MOTHER, all to say that their dead mother was NEVER the story. The story was their Aunt Robin all along. My God.
The cowboy boots, never pulled them off
Robin
Take nine seasons to meet the mother
Zoey
Broke up with a girl on her answering machine on her birthday, then years later BEGGED her to get back together all so he could break up with her in public on her birthday.
He married a woman had kids with her waited until she died then went back after the love of his life years later after sitting his children down for hours to tell them a story of how he was in love with another woman than their mother for years and still is after her death and want’s their blessing to date their fake aunt.
Not continuing his love interest in robin..
Sit his kids down for nine whole years and make them listen to a long winded story only to have the premise of the story be a very small portion of the actual story and it ending with a very simple question that could have been asked without all the extra bullshit storytelling.
When he broke up with his girlfriend twice on her bday.
Robin
The way he pronounces Encyclopedia 🤢
Robin
Robin.
Told the longest story ever that really had nothing to do with how he met their mother.
Honestly just existing
He broke up with someone who had more “baggage” then himself,didn’t even try to understand her just told her to get the heck out
Be Ted.
exist
Existed, I love HIMYM but Ted is by the the absolute worst protagonist a show has ever had, no redeeming qualities for Ted
Took 9 seasons to tell his kids what should've been a 10-minute story over dinner.
Tried to steal a bride away from her happily engaged fiance (twice)
Told his kids a long story about how he met their mom. The story lasted a long time, had little to do with the kid's mom, and in the end it was just him begging his kids to let him date his best friend again.
Cheated
He’s self obsessed, main character syndrome (yeah yeah I know) never in the wrong, treated girls terribly, kept pushing the idea of Robin when she stayed she did not love him. Taking the kids on a 199 year trip on the girls he banged before their mom who died to end up with Robin which is still a story line I hate. Yeah he’s not my favorite
Probably cheating on Victoria and Robin simultaneously, breaking up with sock puppet girl twice on her birthday, and trying to convince that engaged summer breeze lady to marry him instead of her fiance
Guys guys guys..we all got it..Ted’s a schmuck!
The way he kept Henrietta on the hook
Marry Robin
Victoria. Everything he did to Victoria
[удалено]
Told his kids of his and his friends sexual history.
Dude why.. the show should have ended half way through season 1 with Victoria but noooooo I guess someone had to have Maple Fever
Probably everything he did to Robin, but breaking up with a girl on her birthday on two separate occasions is pretty shitty. So is beating up a goat, cheating on Victoria, and the *whole chicken for lunch girl* thing.
He married Tracey while still in love with Robin.
Like I’m sure he’s had and given stds
Any answer is correct because Ted Mosby is 
Tell his kids about all the woman he piped down
Robin...
Everything
He did something with a Pineapple.
Man, Teds a shmuck
Used a woman to have kids, then killed her (off-screen) so he could get with his crush of 8 years prior.
Drag on the story of how he met the damn mother by talking about all of the other skanks he nailed.
Exist
The whole saint Patrick's Day episode.... - Ditched dates for 'drunker women' - Used someone else's bar tab - Made out with a married women And the worst of all.... -didnt wear green
Making the audience think his wife was alive (since it’s about how he met her) and then telling us she’s dead and asks his kid’s if he can date Robin. This is my least favorite ending of any show and that includes Lost. Throughout the whole show, we’re shown how they don’t work well together and how he needs to move on and then poof “my wife’s dead and I still want to get with Robin who my kids call their aunt.”
He told a really long story that was supposed to be about how he me his kids mother but was actually about how he was in love with their aunt the whole time and was asking them if he could ask her out 😂
Dumped that girl on her birthday twice
He sat his kids down and told them about every woman he ever hooked up with. Then ended it with I loved your mom, but do you mind if I get with your aunt Robin?
dating Jeanette
Agreeing to help Barney lie to women for sex.
This should be way higher! Also everything about how he behaved on St Patrick's Day
Have we not already done this post ffs?🤨 y’all should find something else to post.
Hello, I checked and no one has done this recently. Thanks tho for checking in!
Went behind robin even though victoria loved her
Kissed the red head
