Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Ted describes Barney's super-date, he mentions dinner at Le Tombeau des Culottes, or: "the fall of the panties".
- GoofsAfter the female officer gives Barney his $500 ticket for jumping in the river, he looks up at the fireworks going off. This segues into Robin and Don watching the fireworks as well. When the scene cuts back to Barney, the sign on the fence prohibiting entering the water has disappeared. And quite frankly, who was meant to read that sign? Only the viewer, as it is oriented to be read from the river, not from the walkway side of the fence.
Incorrectly regarded as goof: the camera angle has changed, the sign can be seen coming into frame just before the scene fades to black.
- Quotes
Ted Mosby: If you have to seal the deal in just one date, it's got to be one ducy of a date, right? I'm not talking dinner and a movie, I'm not talking minigolf. I'm talking 17 dates of romance wrapped up into one incredible night. I'm talking about a superdate.
Barney Stinson: A superdate?
Ted Mosby: Mhm.
Barney Stinson: That sounds kinda lame. What if we called it a megadate?
Ted Mosby: You want my help, it's a superdate.
Barney Stinson: All right...
Ted Mosby: Leave it to me. I'll plan the whole thing.
Barney Stinson: You're gonna plan the whole thing? I'll bet it'll be all gooey and romantic.
Ted Mosby: Gooey and romantic? Gooey and romantic? Barney...
[Ted breaks out in song]
Ted Mosby: You don't have to take her to Paris or Peru.
Barney Stinson: Uh, Ted? What are you doing?
Ted Mosby: [still singing] You just have to make her understand...
Barney Stinson: Ted, people are looking at us.
Ted Mosby: ...what she means to you.
Barney Stinson: Oh, really? Are you really gonna do this right now?
Ted Mosby: On your superdate... Troubles of the world will simply have to wait, for wonders and amazement served upon her silver plate. Hurry up, now don't be late. 'Cause hand in hand you'll find the land where paradise awaits... And then, boom! Fireworks over the Manhattan skyline! You kiss her... And that's your superdate.
Barney Stinson: That sounds gooey and romantic.
Ted Mosby: [dreamily] Yeah...
Barney Stinson: Strip club?
Ted Mosby: Strip club.

Plot In A Paragraph: Following Robin and Barney's break-up, Robin isn't yet ready to date again, So when Don , her new co-anchor, calls to ask Robin for a date, she is about to say no until someone intervenes on her behalf. Meanwhile Barney has been back to his womanising ways. However, the latest woman he meets named Anita (guest star Jennifer Lopez) has him confused, as she seems to want to sleep with him, but at the last minute she turns down his sexual advances. Telling the gang this story, Ted realises that Anita is using a tactic in a new guidebook for single women in how to empower themselves on the dating scene. When Barney finds out that Anita is not only using the strategies in the book but is the book's author, he comes up with a plan to get around Anita's strategy. Later, the gang minus Barney learn that Barney meeting Anita was not by accident.
The Barney storyline is hilarious, with several laugh out loud moments and Jennifer Lopez is a good guest star, possibly my second favourite so far, behind only Britney Spears two episode stint as Amy (who'd have thought that)
