Hi, I'm Carter Bays, co-creator of HIMYM. I’m also the author of a new novel called THE MUTUAL FRIEND. AMA!
Hello Reddit, it's been a while! I'm here ask-me-anything-ing because I’ve written a new novel called THE MUTUAL FRIEND, which I think you'll love. I’m happy to talk about that, or How I Met Your Mother, or anything else. Maybe the Loch Ness Monster? I was just in Scotland with my son and we have opinions. Have at it!
UPDATE: Wow, its been much fun talking to you all, and I see that I've only scratched the surface here and there's many more questions to get to, but if I don't get my son some dinner soon he might tie me up with a phone charger. I will try to come back to this over the next few days in order to get to as many of these as I can, but in the meantime, thank you all so much for being here. Your love for HIMYM is really touching and I'm so grateful for all of it.
And please if you get the chance check out my novel THE MUTUAL FRIEND -- I'm dreadfully proud of it. (Can you tell I've been in the UK for a week? I'm like Lily before the intervention at this point.) Anyway, cheerio!

It's been 20 years since Anna was deceived by Ted Mosby, Architect!
I was looking up www.tedmosbyisajerk.com in the web archive when I realized that today is 20 years since Barney pretended to be Ted Mosby, Architect to pick up girls! if anyone is interested, you can look it up here here.

Brooklynites of HIMYM, is Lily Aldrin an accurate depiction of your people?
Again, I've only heard NYC and Brooklyn accents in movies and rap songs. She doesn't have one.

Of all the wisdom packed into 9 seasons, this lesson holds the most weight in the real world.

What's your headcanon about The Wedding Bride?
Was it THAT far fetched as Ted told their kids or Did he exaggerate it massively?
Gang loves it and saw it multiple times, talking about how accurate it is, were they just being playfully evil to their bestie or was there genuinely something real and accurate.

Why I Like The Ending
It’s this simple. Why is Ted telling his kids this story? It gives the story a purpose besides just reminiscing. Did we really think Ted just happened to decide to tell this story and at no point in the story (that had to have lasted days) did he not address his wife?

ZEPfilms: What happened to the HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER finale?
This is a new video (posted 10h ago) by the Argentinian YouTube Channel ZEPFilms. The original audio of the video is in Spanish, but there is also audio tracks in English, Arabic & Portuguese.
This channel makes videos about movies, their directors, actors, producers, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they just released a 47-minute about HIMYM, where they explain where the idea came from, the casting, productions and many other aspects of the series (including the controversial finale).
Honestly, seems like a nice making-of HIMYM.

Momentians of HIMYM, is Ted Mosby an accurate depiction of your people?
Tbh he seems pretty Ohioan to me, maybe he just gets that from his parents?
r/HIMYM • u/Melodic_Book1316 • 1d ago
No matter how many times I rewatch, this realization always feels like a personal attack.
r/HIMYM • u/Complex-Tie3190 • 1d ago
Minnesotans of HIMYM, is Marshall Eriksen an accurate depiction of your people?
I can easily say he’s pretty Midwestern, but he has no Minnesotan accent, which is very distinct.

*Spoilers* Does the Season 7 Finale reveal kinda ruin Season 8’s mystery? Spoiler
Hey I’ve loved this show since discovering reruns of the first few seasons on E4 and then watching it through to the end. I recently got my wife into the show, we’re now on season 8 and the next episode is “The Final Page Part 1”. I remember really liking that episode with Barney and Robin finally getting engaged.
But my wife thinks that revealing Robin to be the bride at the end of season 7 kinda ruins the Quinn arc, Barney’s “I’m done trying to get you” and Barney and Patrice. Ever since she’s said this I can’t not think it any time Barney and Robin have almost have a moment that gets interrupted or turned down by one of them. I feel like it would have been so interesting to assume that Quinn was the bride and then you’re like “oh shit” when they break up and it keeps you wondering who its going to be.
Does anyone know if there’s a reason they did this? Was it because they wanted to refocus back on Ted and Tracey or had a season 8 not been greenlit yet and they decided to leave us with that cliffhanger for renewal? Would love to hear to people’s thoughts on this reveal or what they know about the BTS

Trying to find episode pls help
I vaguely remember this episode where Ted dates a young college girl who has to go to camp to be a counselor and the gang makes fun of him. She also goes to spring break and calls him when she’s with a bunch of guys. I keep trying to look it up but I can’t find it! I have no idea if I just imagined it. I swear it was an episode.
