How I Met Your Mother: ‘Twelve Horny Women’

Another fairly solid effort of an episode from HIMYM and it’s nice to not have anything but complaints while reviewing one of its season 8 episodes. I didn’t have a chance to discuss last week’s episode but I will say that Brad has always been my favorite of the minor characters in the How I Met Your Mother world (sorry Ranjit) and it’s always a welcome sight to see him return, this time as the "bad guy" lawyer trying to take down Marshall and his firm over the case of chemical dumping.

For the most part this was an episode spent solely on having some fun and thankfully put the relationship stuff on the backburner. Joe Manganiello was totally game for whatever he was asked to do and he and Jason Segel carried most of the humor of the episode while the others told made up stories of their “bad ass” pasts. Far from the best half hour we’ve seen from HIMYM but I’ll certainly take it at this point.

My other favorite moments:

• “How you going to provide for the little dudes’ futch?” - Brad putting down Marshall for being an environmental lawyer.
• “Because when you do one good deed, it creates a ripple effect.” – Marshall being cheesy with future Marvin.
• “Objection your honor, no one needs this long to pick up a pen.” - Marshall.
• “Objection your honor, on account of this is ridonk!” – Brad being Brad.
• Barney didn’t have a dog as his wingman.
