Finally! I thought I was the only one who thought the episode was pretty bad.

I don't know if I will like those stand alone episodes in the future. Marshall's unemployment was the only connection to the rest of the story but even this kinda sucked... He was funnier popping up behind someone's back asking what they were doing.

Finding world's greatest burger - craaaazy adventure... I just can't describe how lame it was. There were some good lines but they seemed forced at the end of the episode. I didn't even like Barney's GNB craziness, wasn't funny at all. Usually everything he says is funny but (I'm sorry to say this) not this time.

I wasn't impressed with this episode either. I think the only time I laughed was when Barney would say "Member F.D.I.C." really fast. I'm just grateful that Marshall will be wearing pants from now on. Walking around in boxers only emphasizes the fact that he's gotten a little chunky since last season. And Robin eating out of the trash...gross.

^^yep it was all forced- they tried so hard it was like a lame collection of one liners..even marshlily werent cute and they normally are!!

oh and totally agreed chel- and that "robin gets no food in each place" has to be the oldest sit-com joke in the world

I'm just glad Marshall's finally got a job so he now can afford a new haircut : D

I didn't think it was totally lame, definitely not in the "Ten sessions" mold but it was definitely not one of the best. Few minor points.

What job on the planet is so important that Jason Segel needs to keep that haircut? It's just......... You know what? It makes me embarassed to have a die hard in his spot!

What was good
“It’s like an angel from heaven landed at MacLarens. Where the chef killed it and ran it through the meat grinder.”

“If he does get that burger pregnant I have dibs on the delicious burger babies.”

We have a new word to add to the Himym dictionary. Underpants radius =D

What was bad
Think you guys have pretty much summed them up. I still don't think the writers use Cobie Smulders right, she is a great comedic actress but when she is left to be "the girl who hasn't eaten" then she has nothing to work with!

I really do not like that Sarah Chalke is on two shows. This whole Stella being the centre of an episode and then the next week not even mentioned, I just don't like it.

I actually did'nt like the whole hamburger thing, but maybe that's because I'm a vegetarian. I totally agree that Cobie wasn't used well
enough, but, I really DO NOT like Stella AT ALL. Maybe if she was another actor? I dunno. And, It was disgusting when Marshall was eating the burger, and they zoomed in on his mouth.

^^ ha ha the sauce on his cheek!? ewwwwwwwwwwww i saw that too :(

Really? I think if it was another actor I would like Stella less, Sarah Chalke is amazing.
The whole eating burgers in slow motion was just....ew.

Oh and P.s. I really don't like that now Himym appears to be writing episodes to fit celebrities instead of writing episodes and then fitting the celebrities into them. Regis wwas just so....regis, it was lame.

The only part that I thought was really funny was Marshall's 'Ode To The Burger'. 'And then.. A pickle.. The most playful little pickle..'

No, wait i just whatched the NJ ep. Stellas cool.
