How I Met Your Mother - Season One, Episode Six

The Slutty Pumpkin

The slutty... pumpkin???

Halloween party costume gone wrong?

Costume?!?

Maybe Robin, who doesn't usually like Halloween, will dress up as a slutty pumpkin? Marshall's is made of wool so he can't be a pumpkin. Barney likes Halloween because girls unleash their 'inner hoebag'. Where is Ted?

Robin has been dating a man for several weeks!! who is this man Robin and Ted are destined to be star-cross'd lovers

This show does actually title drop every single episode. It's actually quite nice. But what is this slutty pumpkin?

So it's a girl Ted likes.

He saw her 4 Halloweens ago? Ted, you live in New York. She's probably dead. Get over it.

Ted has told this story so many times that Barney, Lily and Marshall know all the words. I guess this was a defining life moment for Ted

Sonny and Cher...

I wonder what Marshall and Lily are going to wear this year? I'll guess that wool line wasn't throwaway

Why (why, wby) would you write your number on a CANDY BAR WRAPPER ON HALLOWEEN??!? Does Ted not have a single other piece of paper or anything?

Ted Mosby: Socially inappropriate since at least 2001

Marshall is a good Captain Jack

The Curse of The Black Pearl surprisingly came out in 2003 (I was 10, WTF) so my fears that the movie copied the show are unfounded. Is Lily meant to be a parrot?

"You're going as my wingman. Flight suit up!"

How punny.
Am I supposed to know what Ted's costume is? Because I don't.

Barney has (somehow) gotten his a Ted passes to the Victoria's Secret Halloween party! Also ,I have a feeling I might have seen this scene before. It's kinda familiar.
Oh man, I bet Robin's 'joke' will be serioused in the form of Mike.

Yep, it is

Barney is not having fun at the roof party (why can't he go to Victoria's secret by himself? Or invite other friends? Does he have other friends?) while Marshall, Lily, Mike and Robin go on their double date.

Robin is not putting very much effort into her relationship. I don't think it is going to end well.

Barney is repping a second costume

Satan

in case he strikes out with the hottest woman at the party. Is he gonna try and get with lei lady again?

So what's the bet Barney has a third costume? I don't think saying "I'm a horny devil" is the way to get with someone

Has Robin ever had a boyfriend before??? she is emotionally stunted

Naww Robin just got dumped :-(

Oh man I was fooled again! The penguin is the slutty pumpkin!

I wonder how Ted will scare this girl off.

can she drink through that beak?

LOLOLOL IT'S BARNEY
Oh man I wish I had a friend like Barney

Marshall and Lily won YAY

Ted and Robin hang out and talk about how much of failures they are
I wanna live in a New York apartment building! they are cool

So that plot... was weirdly unresolved? I guess that was the point but I don't like it
