How I Met Your Mother - Season 1 Episode 11

Kids, the thing about New Year's Eve is that it sucks.



Sure, it looks great on TV,



but in reality, it's always just a big let down,



but in 5, I attempted to do the impossible,



to give my friends a great New Year's Eve.



I had an idea of how to do it, too.



And all it cost was half my Christmas bonus.



Yeah, that's right — a limo.



Oh, man, Ted, this is great.



Okay, people, let's talk strategy.



Last new years, we went our separate ways, and it sucked.



This year we party together or not at all.



Now, I sifted through your party submissions



and I narrowed them down to these five.



Question?



Yes, Barney, your submissions were received and no,



we will not be attending any parties in your pants.



But you enjoyed the e-vite, right?



Thas an actual picture of my pants.



Yeah.



We will hit all five parties before midnight,



and then narrow them down to one,



the most awesome party in New York City



and that is where we will ring,
nay rock, in the new year.



All right, and party number one that's where we get to meet Mary Beth?



Mary Beth?



Oh, she works in my office.



She seems like she might be into me.



She's always finding reasons to hug me.



So tonight...



People often ask me "Barney, how is it that you're so psyched so much of the time?"



By who ?
Who asks you that?



And the answer is right here —



my own, personal "get psyched" mix.



Now, people often think a good mix should rise and fall,



but people are wrong.



It should be all rise, baby.



Now prepare yourselves for an audio journey



into the white-hot center of adrenaline.



Bam.



It's working.



- I am definitely getting psyched.
- Oh, God.



I'm reaching dangerous levels of psychage.



Must do robot.



- Let's do this!
- Yes! Let's!



Oh, driver?



Ranjit! Dude, you're driving a limo now.



That's awesome.



I've moved up in the world.



How do you guys know each other?



Oh, we rode in his cab one time.
It's a long story.



Hey, what are we waiting for?



We got five parties to hit, and three hours to do it.



Oh, I wish I could come with you guys but Derek



should be coming by any minute to pick me up.



Oh, yeah, Robin was spending New Year's with her boyfriend, Derek.



Derek.



He was like rich, successful, handsome.



I hated that guy.



Oh, I'll miss you guys. Have fun.



Bye.



See ya next year.



Go get 'em.



Well, this kind of sucks.



Okay, nobody get down.
We knew this going in.



We're a man down.



That just means we're gonna have to party that much harder.



Ranjit!



- Party number one.
- Party number one!



I can't believe we're leaving a party that had pigs in blankets.



If you think we can beat that, you got some brass ones.



Hey, we've got four more parties to hit.



If party number one turns out to be the best, we'll just limo on back to it.



We didn't really get a chance to meet.



I'm Lily, and this is my fiance, Marshall.



Hi. Mary Beth.



So great to meet you guys.



- My word.
- You're, you're friendly.



American party friends of Barney's.



Oh, no.



So, Barney, who's your new friend?



Natalya.
