How I Met Your Mother - “Of Course”: Season 5 Episode 17

In this episode, there is something important event or moment occurred where Barney and Robin broke up quickly after a season of pining and a few episodes being together. This is unexpected because in previous episode, Barney has never being committed and serious in relationships before he started to fall in love with one of his good friend, Robin. Finally, there is a resolution of sorts to their relationship. This made audience suspect that their problem hasn’t over yet, with the existence of  “Of Course” term which came up by both of them (Barney and Robin), it seems like bridge than connecting them back together.
 Robin gets backs at Barney by employing Anita (Jennifer Lopez) to continually say no to him. Barney doesn’t take no from anyone and sets out to sleep with her. Lopez was quite good in the role, and had some great lines that made Barney want her even more.
Also, This episode made the audience noticed that Robin has been crying whenever Barney or someone else gloats over Barney’s conquests. They sing a catchy song, and it’s obnoxious and mean when you see what Robin has been going through. After Barney and Robin had “heart-to-heart” talk at the shooting range, he agrees not to sleep with Anita and then as a payback to Barney’s fault, he sends Robin off on a big date with Don, which has a happy ending. Barney then says no to Anita who only wants to sleep with Barney more. Barney ends up not sleeping with Anita. Barney doesn’t act like this each episode, and will probably revert back in the next.
 Bloody Awesome Catchphrases
  • Barney: At least when I run out on a girl I have the common courtesy to sleep with her first. It’s called manners.
  •  Lily: She kinda sounds like the anti-Barney
  • Robin: But um….(looks like it’s back! May the drinking games commence.)
  • Marshall: You’re my wife. You’re supposed to stop me from embarrassing myself in public.
  • Robin: Isn’t that every girls dream?
  • Lily: Of Course she’s upset! Take a look at yourself you dumb slut.
  • Marshall: I can’t believe you threw up in your storm trooper helmet. Barney: Eh,that had something worse in it after the Phantom Menace premier.
 Legendary Moments
  • Robin goes to the range to shoot when she is mad and she throws the gun when she is out of bullets.

  • Marshall pretends to be Robin and she jumps on him in the kitchen. Now there is a decent fight
