If you channel surfed over to "How I Met Your Mother" last night you probably thought it was funny when Lily and Marshall, as usual, went completely overboard courting Barney and Robin to come to their couples' night, culminating in a bizarre photo montage and song from Marshall at itwasthebestnightever.com.
But if you watch the show regularly, you immediately rushed to your computer, because if HIMYM mentions a website that means there's something there to see. Previous sites have included a one-woman hate site against Ted, Barney's video resume, and more. This one has a great music video featuring Marshall (Jason Segel) singing his song from the show, accompanied by Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt in a great parody of "More Than Words."
Gotta love a show that adds complementary material, which is why you should also bookmark Barney's Blog as obligatory reading. Entries after every show provide a look into his thoughts (may not be work safe) (may not be life safe). The latest entry includes the pics you saw from the disastrous double date and Barney's advice on avoiding such atrocities.
"I know what you're thinking. Double dating sounds awesome. You have a brief respite
from just hanging out with your partner plus a dude to bro out with while the ladies talk
about shopping or shoes or cleaning or whatever it is they talk about. Plus, there is
always the possibility that a few too many glasses of wine leads to a three-way with your
bro left out in the cold or, at worst, manning the video camera.But it's not worth it."
