Anyone that has yet to watch last
night’s episode of How I Met Your Mother,
entitled ‘Slapsgiving 3: Slappointment in Slapmarra’, then now would be a good
time to go and do that. For this is not a spoiler free blog. THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! You’ve
been warned.
This one’s going to be short and
sweet, so here goes. I really enjoyed that this episode was mostly told in
flashback sequences because I’m still not completely sold on the whole wedding
weekend season. As long as they stay away from the inn the wedding is being
held at, I’m happiest.
So, there’s only one slap left
after this episode, and this episode basically went through the torturing of
Barney and his anticipation with the second last slap. I have to say I love
this whole slap bet thing that this series came up with, they’ve managed to
come up with so many great things over the years – including the infamous
Challenge Accepted. I’m going to miss this series when it’s gone; it’s my
second favourite sitcom (behind Friends),
so it will likely live on like my first favourite and be watched numerous
times.
All in all, this was a nice and
funny episode. I love how the whole gang enjoys torturing Barney and making him
feel like he misheard what was said. This series really is such a brilliant
thing, again behind only Friends in its
sitcom-y brilliance. It’s funny how I’ve actually been able to watch the last
few seasons as they aired, and it’s still almost as great as Friends.
My rating: 7.5 out of 10.
Best Lines:
“Think of it as a high five, (pause) for your stupid face.” –
Marshall tells Barney.
“In the far off mystical land of… Cleveland.” – White Flower
explains to Marshall.
Okay, so I’m off to watch Bones now, so check back later for that.
