Review: How I Met Your Mother - Bagpipes
(S05E06) The thing that always amazes me about this show is that how Old Ted is perfectly content to tell his kids about all the tawdry things he or Barney did back in those heady days of the mid-to-late-'00s, but every so often he realizes who he's talking to and substitutes a clean term for a dirty term.

According to producer CARTER BAYS, Harris was not only game to do it but went to wardrobe and said, “Give me the biggest fat-suit you’ve got”.

Ted has new upstairs neighbors who haven't stopped having loud sex since the moment they moved in. It's driving him and Robin crazy.
