How I Met Your---HOLD UP!

Oh gosh, I can't even begin to tell you
how sad this is to look at. Courtesy of imgur

The first time I watched How I Met Your Mother I was a wee pipsqueak at the ripe old age of ten. I remember turning on my picture box with my magical rectangle of control to only press the wrong button. I wished to watch Dancing With the Stars, as any young girl would, but I pressed the two button instead of the four. In my head I was thinking, "Crap, I'm missing Derek dance!" Yet little did I know that this small mistake would change my tv watching days forever.

Of course my parents loathed HIMYM from the moment I turned it on. What sane parent wouldn't? Honestly, it's the more blunt and raunchy 21st century version of Friends... but that's why it's so addictive! It's a sitcom that never gets old, like Ted's children am I right? Hehe... okay that was bad.

The thing is... this show is ending in less than a month. In less than a month. LESS THAN A MONTH PEOPLE!

Ted is me. Grace is Ted. There is no difference.

I have watched this show, never mind my mother's disapproval, from the middle to the end. Hey don't blame me, I was six in 2005, do you think I would even understand HIMYM back then? Doubt it. So from mid-series to series finale, I have been faithful. While I have ditched shows like Glee and Once Upon A Time, I have stayed true to my one and only How I Met Your Mother.

Although some say that it should have ended several seasons ago *cough* losers *cough* I believe that the show has remained constantly hilarious. My favorite running gags throughout the show include:

I have no clue how the rest of my teenage life will unfold without looking forward to another new episode every Monday. Will there be another show like How I Met Your Mother? Oh no, not in your wildest dreams... but maybe there will be a sitcom that is nearly as good.

I read through this and realized how many gifs I used. I think I might have an issue. Anyone up for an intervention?

Okay, okay, we're almost done but I'm leaving you on a humorous note. I have spent hours upon hours watching bloopers and funny moments that occurred in this show, I thought I might as well share these moments with you guys, my loyal readers. These videos say more than any five hundred word blog post could.
