They all loved each other at the end of the day, but there’s no shortage of horrible things the characters in How I Met Your Mother did to each other.

They Miss Her Morning Show

The gang never watches Robin’s morning show because it comes on when everyone is asleep. Eventually, they feel bad and have a sleepover at Marshall and Lily’s so they can all watch the show together. Robin is excited that her friends are tuning in, and the show turns out to be the best one yet.

Ted’s students point out that Robin can’t stop saying “but, um” throughout her newscast, and they make a drinking game centred around it.

They Let Her Drift Away

One of the saddest aspects of the How I Met Your Mother finale, was where Robin stood in terms of the gang. She began to pull away and no one even understood the reason why.
