How I met Your Mother

Why is the most beloved character on this show a man whore, and women love him despite him being a fag in real life? Discuss

Because it's obviously a fag character.

Because he's written to be likable and funny.

And he's based irl

hes hot though

>Laugh track

>Man whore
Uhm, slut-shaming much?

>Because he's written to be likable and funny.

>HIMYM
>likable and funny characters

spotted the underage kiddo

The most beloved character on this show is obviously Marshall and you're a degenerate if you disagree.

Why would you care what actor are in real life?
They only exist to entertain you, if you like the character or the show watch it and enjoy it, I never understood this obsession people have with celebrities, maybe if people gave less shit actors wouldn't be always preaching incomprehensible retarded shit in public and people wouldn't listen to them.

Are you autistic?

This is actually a classic example of one of the least commented on aspects of film and television: audience familiarity with the actors.

Barney is a terrible person. He does horrible things. It's not just that he's likable and funny, which he is, but a huge part of the success of the character is because of what we know about Neil Patrick Harris. The big image of him is of a child, as Doogie Howser, and we know that he grew up to be a gay guy who does a lot of musical theatre and such.

The audience associating NPH with his child character and knowing that he's gay makes the character Barney possible. He can prey on women and get away with anything, and the audience will accept it and still like him, because they associate him with innocence and there's no real worries about the consequences of his womanizing because we know he's gay and it's all a show.

Barney / NPH is one of the best examples of this. Where what the audience knows about the actor informs how they see the character. So much of Barney isn't written, and it isn't subtext in the performance; it's brought to the table by the audience from the real world.

Michael Bay does this a lot, really well. He saves time and effort and uses what he knows the audience knows about the actor to flesh out, establish, and ground the character.

It can bite you in the ass hard if you ignore it. When they cast Adrien Brody in that Predator movie, it didn't work, even though he buffed up and really did a good job. The audience walked in with the base line of him as a skinny guy playing the piano and kissing Halle Berry at the Oscars. When he strips off his shirt to be a bad ass, instead of getting into it like you would if it were Stallone, the audience steps back for a second and thinks, "Man, when did Adrian Brody get ripped?"

Daily reminder that if you watch american "sitcoms" you are absolutely degenerate and will be hanged on the day of the rope, together with the anime weaboos

Marshall is a literal cuck who married the first girl who gave him attention.
If you identify with or like Marshall you should kill yourself to save the gene pool.

Are you sick of this shit? Do you want to end the left? Here's how:
There is a redpill NUKE sitting on YouTube right now:

Embed this in every children's forum and watch the left crumble.

>be tolerant
>gay rights
>art is important

DUDE SHITTING CUM ON ANOTHER MAN'S FACE IS AVAILABLE FOR CHILDREN TO WATCH PEOPLE.

>over-the-top memed Kramer copy
>likeable and funny

You leave our waifus out of this

Nah he just didn't feel the need for hedonistic whoring around in his college years. Loyalty is an admirable quality.

Also remind me when Lily cucked Marshall? That never happened.

>Embed this in every children's forum
so you're telling people to show a restricted adults-only gay video to children?

you're a sick fuck

Lily had a few times when she discussed (((second thoughts)))
Probably while throatfucked by some NY nigger.

And btw, even though Marshall wasn't hedonistic I have no doubt Lily was.
Or do most conservative girls just immediately put out upon opening a dorm door?

I don't even really know that Marshall wasn't hedonistic - he probably would have been had he any game.

I love the episode when barney does stuff and legendary, challenge accepted and lets not forget new is always better

It is explicitly discussed numerous times on the show that they only had sex with each other.

>man whore

fuck off faggot.

YouTube made it readily available to children already because liberals insist on exposing us to all aspects of all cultures.

and we're talking about people who watch TV shows here. the bar is not high.

Lily is a whore who was terrified of her normal life with Marshall so she went and fucked dozens of men probably. Marshall took her back because he has no pride and is a cuck.

Is there any more to this show than normies doing normie things?

>Why is the most beloved character on this show a man whore
Because he is extremely resourceful, his schemes are fucking ridiculous, long, well thought out and they often work.

Like how he gets a well paying job by just bullshitting or gets to see robins boob by learning some japanese sushi shit.

>b-but in my head she fucked lots of dudes

>Women NEVER lie about how many sexual partners they've had
Hey you got repeating integers though, so that's nice.

That's a good observation, actually.

Must suck for an actor being typecast as something, but as you pointed out with NPH, it can be used for the exact opposite kind of role if needed

no, lily had sex with another guy but just says she didn't enjoy it and because she didn't cum, it didn't count. It's in the episode where they go visit the empire state building, and robin's little sister is visiting.

Having a thread about this cancer tier show is beta cringe as fuck

& all you in this thread just lost 5 points you dumb niggers.
Not pol quality,
This show is Merkel Clinton take away your guns level

Go to your room user, you're punished

Women are liars and her actions were a huge red flag. If it had been the other way around people would have no choice but to see it my way.

BRB checking that episode.

But what about my trendies?

The pic gets it backwards. That show is popular because the fag plays a misogynistic, sexist character, not because of the conservative couple. Normies eat that shit up.

I've watched the series way too many times to be wrong.

Looking forward to you admitting your mistakes.
>As if anybody from Europe will ever admit it when they're wrong.

That's really not adequate justification for distributing gay scat porn to children.

Is that video still up? Thinking about never using Google or a product of theirs ever again.

I am waiting for UK guy to come and admit Australia was a wrong decision

Je maakt onze vlag ten schande kankerjong

>conservative couple
They don't seem very conservative to me.

Ok Lily fooled around with Scooter years before she met Marshall.

If you think that's "cucking marshall" you're a literal nerd virgin

Jesus fucking Christ get the fuck out of here you underage faggot. If you're not underage b& then reread what you typed and fuck a cactus

I'd rather be a wrong decision than part of Russia.

>Marry a roastie because she gives you attention
>N-no it was okay guys she's still wholesome
I'm not surprised, considering your flag.
Do you have ANY morals?

I'd rather be somewhere else so I don't have to pick from two evils
But not in Australia

>Had sex 0.5 times years before
>Roastie
What the fuck are you talking about man. She was faithful during their entire relationship. Are you saying you should only date virgin women? Because in that case our morals ARE different and we won't agree.

>Had sex 0.5 times
what the fuck is 0.5 sex?
>if I say I didn't enjoy it it doesn't count
go back to your bong retard

Another shitty US comedy where adult characters are shown as men-babies.

If she displays herself as a virgin while she had sex before is she

A) a liar
B) not a virgin
C) a roastia
D) all of the above

I don't blame you, you'd be much more comfortable in Saudi Arabia with the rest of your people.

Nothing wrong with dating a girl who's been with somebody else, but you were pushing her up as some supreme goddess when really she's just another whore.
And fact of the matter is in the liberal paradise of New York, she definitely wouldn't have only had sex '0.5 times' even after they were married.
She's a whore, Marshall's a cuck. Simple as that.
There's nothing wrong with identifying with that character, just be honest with yourself.

very nice post

Yep. Typecasting and stunt casting is exactly the same thing pretty much, except to an insane degree. With typecasting, audiences are only willing to see an actor as one specific thing. Stunt casting is more like when Mike Myers popped up in Inglourious Bastards. He didn't play the role in a particularly wacky way; the audience filled that in with their own associations. Audiences bring those same expectations for every actor that they know; it's just a lot more subtle for other people.

Michael Bay again, in his Benghazi movie, he cast Jon Krasinski as the lead, who people know from The Office.

Bay's light on character development in movies; he's economical to put it nicely. Jon's playing a former SEAL who's settled down more or less with his family, off taking the job in Benghazi with an old friend. If you're looking for real character development, you aren't going to see much, but you instantly get a really, really firm grip on who the character is. Bay's careful to avoid Adrian Brody ripping off his shirt kind of moments; you see guys working out, but never Jon, so you're not confronted with a clash against your image of the actor.

Lots there isn't in the script. Casting Krasinski immediately gets the audience seeing him as a pretty decent, nice guy with a good sense of humor about things. Bay knows you're bringing that and uses it. He doesn't have to do much to get you to find humor in situations, which is good because it's not a situation where jokes are easy and cheap to work in. Your associations add a whole level to how you see the film, and it's a much, much better film with that there. Moments that are meant to be funny and are funny just completely wouldn't work with another actor, and it's nothing special about his performance that makes it work. Your preconceived notions about Jon Krasinski are important to the film.

Bay's a smart filmmaker. He does this kind of stuff way too consistently and well to not be thinking about it.

I will admit I was wrong about her being a virgin when they met, but I don't agree that makes marshall a cuck as you said in .

The 'but in my head she fucked other dudes after they were' is retarded since it is a fictional show and in this fictional universe it is implied if not stated explicitly that she didn't.

>'but in my head she fucked other dudes after they were'
after they were married that is

How can you fellow countryman
understand this so easily yet the facts elude you?
Did you have a rural education or too many bongs?
I don't know how to make this any simpler for you to understand, and I've successfully tutored Aboriginals.

Americans shows for mens are not bad but the shit jewllywood produce for women is degenerate as fuck.

nph is a god

Oh, Lily was dishonest not to mention incredibly annoying, constantly sticking her nose where it didn't belong and she shouldn't have lied about Scooter or performed mental gymnastics where it didn't count for whatever reason.

Marshall just isn't a cuck. The definition of a cuck is a man whose woman gets fucked by other dudes. That didn't happen once while they were in a relationship so he is not a cuck. Simple as that.
>But in my head it did
In the show it didn't
>I've successfully tutored Aboriginals
Kek, I've met abbos. Any good stories?

Never seen that movie I thought Hillary said we didn't lose anyone in Libya?

Unfortunately not, with Aboriginals it's a matter of constant repetition and simplifying until it both sinks in and they decide to listen.
It's really difficult here. If you yell at them you're likely to get a lawsuit, but discipline is what they need.

>that season 2 arc where Lily breaks up with Marshall after they get engaged to "find herself" (read: have sex with other men) and throws him into a state of near-comatose depression until he completely forgives her and takes her back for which Ted calls her a cunt and then years later when she finds out he said that she has the gall to get mad as though she didn't do anything wrong because just like in real life women have no honor or loyalty and only need to seek forgiveness from themselves to absolve feelings of guilt rather than from those they have wronged

Nah, her big thing was describing a coordinated attack on 9/11 by paramilitary extremist groups as a protest that got a little out of hand. That some movie called The Innocence of Muslims made by some random jackass in California pissed off Muslims so much because it so offensive that they went out picketing, and then they got a little too rowdy and just kind of stumbled in to killing our ambassador and other Americans.

But don't worry, we got the guy who made the video and threw his ass in jail.

Is it true you can get free shit from the government just by saying "I identify as an indigenous Australian", no family tree or genetics or anything?

Huh. Glad you pointed this out

at the end he also gets married by a female priest

the show is pure degeneracy
there is nothing to discuss here

>Watching a sitcom
Kys

Nah you usually need some form of verification, I think it can just be a native saying you're one of them though.
But they do get lots of free shit.
I knew one Indigy at uni who used to go to 'speeches' put on by Elders, a couple each week.
Each speech basically amounted to We Dindu, Fuck Whitey and lasted under an hour.
Each indigenous person who went to these speeches got $200 every time.
So 600-800 per week, if they were bothered to turn up.
Plus the regular government benefits as well.

yes, newfag. we shame sluts because marriage is the foundation on which civilization is built. Jews have nearly destroyed marriage, and the West will fall when my generation of white people fails to reproduce.

...

also, lurk more, faggot.

Have you ever wondered how gay people view straight men?

This is how gay people view straight men.

That makes no sense user. How can a video in America trigger Muslims? Didn't happen on the anniversary of 9/11? Why would Hillary lie? Islam is a religion of peace. Something doesn't add up.

WOMEN IN 2k17 !

That means i can still have sex with whores in relationships.

Neet.

Glad to! I'm not sure why, but film reviewers seem to like pretending that movies and tv shows are watched in vacuums. Maybe because they want to be thoughtfully considering the piece on its own, and talking about reputations in the press or other movies seems shallow. They only get into it when it's too much to ignore, like Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut. That's not how people watch movies, though, and smart filmmakers are hyper-aware of that. You can fight it, try to ignore it, or use it to your advantage. The HIMYM people talk about how much Barney grew from NPH. They usually attribute it to how amazing a performer he is, but he's not the greatest thing ever. Whether he's in Harold and Kumar or he's skeezing on girls in the bar, the only reason it really clicks is because the audience knows Neil Patrick Harris.

Post more often, 10/10. Reminds me of Hot shots with Charlie sheen. Even as a buff guy he still looks non threatening.

I only think of Alison as cute though not the whore from American pie

>How can a video in America trigger Muslims

You know, I always wondered about this. When they got pissed at those Danish cartoonists, they were rioting in the streets, sure, but they were also burning all these Danish flags. How did they get them? Did someone give them to them?

I don't think I could come up with a full size, ready to burn Danish flag on short notice. How are these Arabs living in hovels getting the flag hookup so fast? Even if someone's keeping flags on hand in they need to burn one, Denmark doesn't seem like it'd be an in-stock item. I'm in America, and I'm pretty sure I'd have to special order that shit. It's weird that some cartoons come out and all these random sandniggers all have Danish flags ready to go.

It just doesn't add up user. Who would have that many flags on hand? And if they are Muslims peaceful, why burn the Danish flag? Riot? Could they even read the cartoon?

Exactly! If it were meant to be serious, it'd be an Adrian Brody Predator disaster. I forgot how buffed he got for that. And hmm, that's probably why that flute line hit as much as it did; it wasn't just incredibly unexpected in the movie world.

I think I've only seen like maybe four episodes of Buffy, but either I watched a lot more than I remember or I absorbed it by osmosis, because I always think of her from that. I must've really watched the show for a while. Willow's best girl.
