Theodore Evelyn Mosby simply Ted born in Ohio just like his actor Josh Radnor and now living in the Big Apple Ted four counts how he desperately search for a soulmate after his best friend's lily and Marshall got engaged number three and in his search for the one he meets miss Robin Scherbatsky played by Cobie Smulders yep that's Maria Hill from the Avengers Maynard's but sans Nick Fury Robert is a reporter for Metro news one and the apple of Ted's eye fraud series number four Robyn is a celebrity in the hamlet your mother world trust me we'll be getting into that which is fitting really because the name Robin sort of means bright Fame in all demonic she's also Canadian and from Vancouver I want to go to they're just like smoulders although originally she was meant to be from Toronto number five Ted's best friend Marshall Eriksen is played by Jason Segel and it's girlfriend / wife / fiance not in that order obviously is Lily Aldrin played by Alyson Hannigan these two TV legends you might recognize from A plus shows and movies that we shot missed here because they'll take too long and you'll have Google number six turns out the best friend is Barney no not the dinosaur though I'd love to see that crossover but Barney Stinson we're not really sure what's his job is although we do know he loves money women in suits he's played by Neil Patrick Harris who's an LGBT superstar later on number seven what you might not know about the lovable Barney is that his name is inspired by James McElroy's novel in 1990s near noir movie are they confidential in which there's a faraway mention of a hospital orderly and drug dealer called you guessed it Alan all no sorry Barney Stinson number eight Bob Saget's narrates his future Ted the reason why greatest Thomas and Bayes wanted to have a different voice of future Ted was so that viewers will understand that Ted went through a transformative journey and isn't the same person he used to be I think sure guys it's a so useful be ending right number nine the show is loosely based on the lives of the writers and creators the show Carter Bays and Craig Thomas and how they two were best friends at Wesleyan College and how they lived in the same apartment with Thomas's girlfriend now wife Rebecca Carter Bays turned into Ted Craig Thomas into Marshall and Rebecca into Lily number Ted the stories in the show also mirror some of the real-life antics of the threesome such as Ted moping about being single all the damn time as well as inviting someone to a wedding without realizing they didn't have a plus-one and calling Beckett and delete a Grinch during a brief break up well they say you should write what you know number 11 did it did it did it to do it did it did it Craig Thomas's wife Rebecca said that she would only agree to the character of Lily being based on her if Alyson Hannigan played her Wow really lucky she said yes then really number 12 just in case they weren't involved enough already the theme song to the show is hey beautiful by the solids which just happens to be Thomas and BAE's band write the theme choosing your theme tune that's all early noughties British reference you there number 13 you'll notice that the show uses a laugh track so we should know when to laugh should do that with jokes really but there we are what's different about this laugh track though is that it's not filmed live with the show in fact they shoot the show first edited together and then show it to the audience and record their laughter number 14 this method of recording is actually pretty rare and has been present since the pilot this is because there are too many scenes and sets and shoots were done over multiple dey's number 15 the entire show could've been cast very differently from the dynamic group that we know and love Scott Foley of scrubs Fame was originally off the role of Ted and super star Jennifer Love Hewitt was offered the role of Robin but turned it down starring the Ghost Whisperer it's an interesting choice Jennifer number 16 another surprising addition he was mr. Jim Parsons who originally auditioned for Barney but obviously lost out to Neil Patrick Harris because the physical comedy aspects they were looking for were more in line with him Parsons certainly didn't miss out though being cast as Sheldon in the Big Bang Theory a year later and becoming the high spanked TV actor in the world until the show ended in 2019 number 17 mph ready for himself into the role of barley during his audition which included the pilots later tack scene where he dive roles during the audition he misjudged the size of the room and knocked himself out doing said role number 18 apparently Thomas and Bayes were huge fans of the teen comedy show Freaks and Geeks which launched the career mr. Jason Segel and made him the first choice to play Marshall in How I Met Your Mother number 90 Jason Segel is actually as old as his older brother by which I mean his character is he's the same age as Robert Michael Ryan who plays his brother Marvin and a year older than Ned olsommer who plays Marcus marshal De Smet to be the youngest brother bear in mind number 22 TTT the most iconic place in the series is the legendary barn MacLaren's which was modeled on a real NYC pub called McGee's where Basin Thomas used to hang out during their time writing for The Late Show with David Letterman back in the 1990's number 21 McGee's decided to capitalize on this connection and who wouldn't by creating How I Met Your Mother cocktails including the Robin sparkles daddy's home and the pineapple incident as well as hosting show themed quiz nights during its run number 22 the bar was named after a system producer Carl McLaren who got promoted to associate producer after two seasons just to add to this nifty little fact they also called the bar man Bry at no not Bryan car obviously number 23 speaking of Carl hit actor Joan eaves was initially cast as a police officer in the original pilot but after the scene got cut he got given the bit part of Carl the bartender this bit part lasted for nine years number 24 in the pilot we're instituted are now infamous line have you met Ted nailed it this was invented by Letterman co-head writer Justin Stangl who apparently used this line have you met Carter to get girls for Carter Bays number 25 in Episode four we meet Ted 2x Natalie who he dumps on her birthday twice geez Ted come on man but Natalie's actress and Dudek also appeared in the final season of the fellow Manhattan sitcom friends as mice girlfriend who also gets dumped on her birthday Oh Annie are you okay hey that could be a song number 36 a small contradiction lies and Robin character in the season 1 episode pumpkin she laments she's never played on a sports team however later in that season in best prom ever she states she never went to prom because the field hockey nationals were always in spring hmm number 27 and the Hall you go thinking oh that's just because she's a fan Sam it isn't because in the season 4 episode happily ever after we see a flashback of her playing hockey so it's either a plot hole or she's a liar number 28 episode 7 of season 1 sue the debut of the cock-a-mouse not were you expecting her apparently was inspired by real-life creature that producer Courtney Kang encountered until this day still has not identified and yes it really did fly number 29 when re watching the show in season 1 episode 9 entitled belly for the turkey Ted tells of story of how he met a stripper called Tracy and choked with it's kids that that's how he met their mother of course in season 8 we find out the mothers name is Tracy so this is a great little reference or a big coincidence when going back to the beginning number 30 in season 1 episode 21 milk just got flashbacks to chase the true nature and milking cats show writers and creators Thomas and Bayes make a guest appearance as the paramedic actors that arrive as Barney tries to pull off a Frankie far too elaborate ploy though I guess it worked so who's the real winner here number 31 Ted's future kids penny and Luke played by Lyndsy Fonseca and David Henry filmed all their scenes in season 1 because the producers wanted everything to be filmed before Humphrey started puberty and before they both were up too much this means the kids do the ending for 9 years number 32 both kids had to sign a confidentiality agreement but said by the time the ending came they'd pretty much forgotten what it was anyway that didn't stop other people badgering the pair about what happens though including their friends and family and according to hambre people in bars trying to get him drunk to spill the beans hopefully not when he was you know a kid that's illegal drinking lots finically remember 33 while the kids in creates a somber sunbaes were the only ones who knew the ending Ted and Lily actors Ratner and Hannigan found out early that the mother would die in the end Hannigan said I didn't know who the mother was going to be but I did know the reason he was telling these stories was because he passed away which was very sweet number 34 another interesting tidbit about Lyndsy Fonseca is that in real life she's only 18 months younger than the actress who played her mother Christina Malati now I'm not great at baby maths but I don't think that would work in real life number 35 if the show wasn't picked up after into original 13 episode order the mother was going to be Ted season 1 girlfriend Victoria played by Ashley Williams who was introduced in the 13th episode of that season called drumroll please number 36 Thomas and Bayes both said in a reddit AMA it was hard to say goodbye to Victoria she and Ted had such chemistry and said she was the hardest of Ted's girlfriends to write off the show which is probably why he came back in season 8 that's a spoiler but if you can tell about spoilers watching this I dummy I don't really have much sympathy number 37 this episode also features a montage with photos of married couples the second bitching missus of cray Thomas and his wife Rebecca who Marshall and Lily are based on number 38 av discount Robin as she's one of the main cast then the girlfriend of Ted's that's been in the most episodes would be Victoria who is in sixteen episodes overall she really wants the best one number 39 speaking of her being the best according to an entertainment weekly poll in 2011 Victoria was the fans favorite girlfriend the least favourite girlfriend was Zoe not sure how it wasn't the woman who left Ted at the altar but okay number 40 all of the husbands of the cast guest star in the show Hannigan's husband Alexis Denisof plays news anchor sandy rivers in ten episodes smoulders his husband Taran Killam plays Gary Blauman and Harris's husband David Burtka betrayed Lily's high school boyfriend scooter family nepotism number 41 in episode 21 of season one lily tells turned to swear on his future kids and he swears on Luke and Leia who are of course the main characters in the iconic Star Wars original trilogy later in the series we actually find out the Ted kids are called penny because of her parents love koi collecting and Luke one out of two ain't bad Ted will ruining her life season two episode 9 she's the debut of the slap bet the idea of the slap bet between Barney and Marshall originated from Carter Bays who used to make slap bet with his high school friends we can even have Pokemon cards at my school and I'm just like this number 43 as we all know Ted and Robin finally started dating from the first time in season two what you'll also know is that Robin had to give away her five dogs because Ted threw a hissy fit about them being gifts from ex boyfriends but what you may not know is that Ted's act of Josh Radnor is very allergic to dogs which is why they had to be written out because having paramedics on standby for every scene in Roberts apartment was a little bit of a health hazard number 44 in the season 2 finale something blew the proposal you see when Robin finds the ring the champagne is an actual real-life proposal timothy russo are shown and rügen to marry him for realsies with the help of his brothers friend it was a writer on the show luckily everyone said yes because can you imagine how awkward it would've been on set if she didn't number 45 in brunch Ted calls Barney out on the fact that all of this made-up Statistics container numbers 8 and 3 or 83 once you know this it's literally impossible not to notice it all the time number 46 Sarah Chalke you might recognize as dr. Elliot Reid from scrubs plates tell of the dermatologist who almost marries Ted in season 4 anyway she received a call to first appear on the show at short notice and was told to bring a lab coat with her short claims that the Co she used was actually the same one from scrubs but with a pocket protector over the dr. Elliot Reid nametag number 47 Sarah Chalke wasn't the first choice to play stellar though Alyssia silverstone of clueless Fame was in talks with the dermatologist but her representatives would drew her after finding out who would be her co-star which brings us to number 48 it's Brittany bench yes the pop princess played Stella's receptionist Abbi Neil Patrick Harris believed that getting Spears involved would be selling out the show but her appearance and the resurgence views that followed is often credited with saving it number 49 Bob Odenkirk of Solon Breaking Bad Fame was shooting on How I Met Your Mother when a bit of an issue came up on the Breaking Bad set they needed a character to deliver some exposition but they couldn't call Saul so instead they rented the character of Mike who became a legend in the world of Breaking Bad all thanks to How I Met Your Mother number 15 during the filming of the third season Cobie Smulders was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of just 25 she battled the disease and had several surgeries but was declared to be in remission two years later number 51 season 4 episode 11 sees Robin getting homesick and spending time with Marshall in a Minnesota themed bar wall Robin is telling a story there's a woman in the background that's not all by the way she's wearing a Jersey with the name smolders on the back it just happens to be the surname of Cobie Smulders who plays Robin that's right all the facts up here number 52 those eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that Lily was absent for the last few episodes of season four that's because actress Alyson Hannigan was pregnant throughout the majority of the season and had her baby around the time the episode was being made number 53 that means Alyson Hannigan is the only main character of the five to not have been in every episode but you might have noticed her pregnancy bump during season 4 episode 14 during a hot dog eating contest I assume she was just bloated number 54 not only was Hannigan pregnant but so is Cobie Smulders at the same time the ladies were sat down for a lot of this season not only for rest but to hide their bumps classic TV magic number 55 let's talk about Robin sparkles did you know her real-life inspiration was Alanis Morissette did sure well you do now oh and her TV co-host was Jessica glitter played by none other than Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger number 56 Robyn's ex Simon who also featured in these sand castles in the sand video is played by james van der beek of Dawson's Creek Fame he has a band called the foreskins oh god and their song murder train is played throughout the series usually when the main characters get into fights number 57 back to the sparkly babe her song let's go to them all is also featured in the real-life game Just Dance 3 just as well they didn't pick the Robin dagger song PS I love you that would be an interesting dance number 58 according to a reddit AMA with Bayes and Thomas the Robin sparkles shoots were usually the most challenging they took an extra day of filming and usually had poor cobie smulders dancing for 16 hours number 59 a main player we have a mentioned gettest pamela Fryman she directed 196 out of the 208 episodes of the show one of the few episodes she didn't was the 99th episode this was so she could focus on the a hundred special but our old pal Neil Patrick Harris directed that 99 episode in her absence number 16 in season 6 is bad news Jason Segel didn't know that his on-screen father was going to die so when Alyson Hannigan tells him his father didn't make it seagulls reacting genuinely to that news number 61 that episode also featured a subtle countdown from fifty to one one being the show's climax give it a watch back and see if you can find what the numbers hidden in the background it might make the pain of the last scene somewhat bearable number 62 in season 8 we finally meet the mother the show's casting director Marisa Ross and actually been talking about christen velocity to play Tracy for two whole years before she was cast number 63 before the producers made a final decision though they made Malati and Alyson Hannigan stand beside each other because they were scared they might look too similar not sure what the worry is there but sure Nintendo 64 in that now famous scene where we see the mother for the first time train platform is filled with extras these extras are all members of the helmet your mother crew and staff which is pretty sweet all involved number 65 the show almost ended at season eight and Jason Segel was one of the main reasons for it wanting to focus on his movie career Seagal was the last person to be convinced at the very last minute to sign on for the final season number 66 aside from the controversial ending perhaps the biggest blowback for show received was in slapsgiving 3 slap ointment at slot Mara this saw several main characters dress and play Asian individuals riskier choice
