Ted wonders why he is friends with Barney, as his well dressed friend leads him on a crazy night out. The two end up going to Philadelphia chasing after two girls, only to find out on the flight that the girls have boyfriends. They are then picked up by airport security because over the last few months Barney has been leaving baggage at the airport in his efforts to pick up women. After being released the head to a woman named Sasha's party, where they meet a guy who works guarding the Liberty Bell. Barney decides to drag Ted along to lick the Liberty Bell, which a tired Ted resists but eventually agrees to after Barney confesses that he doesn't simply want to have his adventures alone.
Meanwhile Robin and Lily bond with a "girl's night out". Lily gets jealous that Robin is being hit on by several guys and takes off her wedding ring, although the only guy she can attract is a gay guy who comes to tell her she sat on a grape. Still Marshall shows up and is jealous until he learns that the other guys is gay.
The episode ends with Ted realizing that Barney is his friend because he always pushes Ted to have adventures, and he talks up a girl who is NOT the Mother.
Notes
The first "Barney Episode" or episode that focuses on Barney's antics. This episode is heavy with catchprases "Suit Up" "Legendary" and "wait for it..." which I guess some people might dislike but I find hil-wait for it-arious. Hilarious. This is where the Barney character clicked for the first time and it was awesome. I also note that Robin continues to integrate herself into the group. Also we see the first signs of Lily being uneasy with being engaged which will play a huge role later on in the season.
Ranking
9 out of 10.
List of 10: 10 Intimidating Careers
This List of 10 was inspired by the girls Ted and Barney hitting on going out with linebackers. These are
ten other careermen you wouldn't want to compete with.
- Police Officer (You don't want to get on a cop's bad side.)
- Minister or Rabbi (If you wrong them you could be going straight to Hell.)
- Astronaut (They've been or are going to go to space. Coolest thing ever.)
- Air Plane Pilot (Flying your own plane is freakin' cool.)
- Butler (Do you know that most murders are commited by Butlers? Even if that's not true, it could be.)
- Construction Worker (I never met one I wasn't intimidated by.)
- Musician (Not nescessarily intimidating, but you can't compete with a musician.)
- CEO (Money equals power.)
- Soldier (Duh.)
- Postal Worker (Ever heard of "Going Postal" these guys are nuts!)
