What's wrong with these writers?! Barney has always been the intelligent guy outsmarting everyone else. And now he's suddenly really stupid, naive and really gullible? And it's not funny when the conversation is too extreme/too unrealistic. Like "I'm not paying attention to what you're saying". Why can't they have normal, intelligent conversations?
And no one would out of the blue start a smoke room. That's just retarded. This season is terrible.
It's 2012, the kids look about 16-17. So Ted should knock someone up within a year...
