We here at Mediaite watch a lot of cable news. We also sometimes watch television that’s actually entertaining. Last night, this writer was watching this week’s How I Met Your Mother, a show that’s not as good as it once was but that I still watch because I’m totally sure they’re going to reveal the mom like any day now. I just know it!

Anyway, during that episode, I noticed a bizarre blooper that I became hypnotized by, rewatching it with my roommates about 50 times. This morning I showed it to my coworkers and we all watched it 50 times more. It’s brought us all a little joy on this cloudy day and maybe it will bring the same to you.*

The moment came as the characters Ted and Marshall explore an concert arena looking for some nachos. If you look closely, you can see that one of the extras got some poor direction.

I’ve been a fan of this show for years, but I’m really not sure how no one caught this.

*Yeah, we know this isn’t really typical content for this site but, after Mediaite’s Colby Hall realized I spent eight whole minutes of company time editing this clip together, he decreed that “We might as well get some God damned traffic out of the damn thing!” before lighting his eighth cigar of the day and getting back to his editorial on how Spider-Man is really a menace.

So, please, enjoy an awesome blooper from CBS’ How I Met Your Mother:

Clips like this just anger up the blood…. Community, why hath the boob tube Gods foresaken thee!
Sorry John, just needed to emote a bit. I’m sure this odd little show deserves broadcast space. Psyche!

Ehh..not so obvious. I mean, maybe the dude is such a method actor that he was totally into his character being a guy who was just hanging out by the men’s room thinking about stuff, then decided to get off the wall and start walking..Entirely plausible, to me.

This is pretty hilarious. Even better, check back to season 2 episode 4 a scene where they’re all sitting at their usual booth in the bar — keep an eye on the extra behind Barney. She’s in a gray suit with red hair. Watch her as she “orders” her drink and then crosses toward the bathroom.

After the past twenty years of watching great TV shows get canceled, there should be a new saying:

“This show is so good, it will be canceled.”

I think you need to get a life.

No need to apologize. I reacted pretty badly to that news as well.

I don’t really see how it’s a blooper.

bershad’s “bizarre blooper” has just wrested the title of “most useless item ever” on mediaite from martel’s “christopher yells question to obama” article…

I did notice that while watching to other night, but I didn’t think it was that big of a deal.

I don’t understand what this clip is even suppose to be about…I’m as confused as the next person.

More like an edit related bloop. Oh well.

“a whole lot of nothing going on” nothing bizarre, nothing of note, nothing worth posting a clip of
