Little Minnesota (#4.11)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 20 July 2015]

In this episode we meet Ted's sister who he is over protective of and worried about her immaturity. And Barney always wanted to meet her as well. Barney's songs are the highlight of this particular story, make one laugh a lot.

But my favorite part of the episode was the story of Marshall and Robin when he brings her to his Minnesota bar when she gets home sick on holidays and gets jealous because she tries to make it hers. The hilarious part was the ridiculous stereotype they make about Canadians, that we are afraid of the dark!.

I especially loved it when Marshall took her to Canadian bar he found. There was a guy with Maple Leafs shirt. A guy who apologized when Robin bumped into him (now this is true, I do it a lot myself!) and the fun of Marshall singing the mall song at karaoke!.

Loved Barney's Songs

The show didn't make it three 10/10 in a row, but it's still a great episode.

Plot In A Paragraph: During this Christmas holiday season, Ted's younger sister Heather is coming for a visit with the thought of actually moving to New York to begin a career in finance. But what Ted is not convinced, but he is most afraid of is Heather sleeping Barney, who has always wanted to sleep with Heather despite never having met her. Upon her arrival, Heather asks Ted to co-sign an apartment lease, otherwise there is no way she can move to the city. Meanwhile, Robin is feeling more homesick than usual. To help her feel better, Marshall takes her to his local bar, which is for people from and celebrates Marshall's home state of Minnesota. Despite Robin not being from Minnesota and despite the bar patrons ridiculing Canadians, Robin tries to make the bar her own place, at the expense of Marshall.

Underneath the mistletoe, i'll make your sister moan !!

Neil Patrick Harris rocks ! Absolutely loved this episode ! It was full of laughs and surprises ! Once again Lily's "secret keeping abilities" were tested ! But the highlight of the episode has to be Barney's songs in which he expressed his desire to have sex with Ted's sister ! I think the way the creators portray Barney's horny character in a funny way is just extra-ordinary ! And the great man (NPH) just takes it to another level with his epicness ! Others were good too, Marshall takes Robin to meet his Minnesota buddies and they ended up liking her more than Marshall ! Only till they found out she's Canadian ! Another one of those episodes that you can watch again & again and never get tired of watching it !
