How I Met Your Mother - Canning Randy recap/review

Ted wanted to appear cool in front of his students, but Zoey ruined it by showing up to his class and telling his students that he was destroying that old building. Marshall had trouble firing his assistant, even though the assistant was terrible at his job. When he finally managed to do it, he felt bad and reversed it. But the assistant, Randy, actually wanted to stay fired so that his severance package could help him get started on his own brewery, which he would call “Wharmpess.” We wonder if he knows that the name (which is his last name) sounds like “Warm Puss.” We are sure the writers do. When Marshall heard about Randy’s dream, he re-fired him. Robin continued to be annoyed by her new co-anchor. Robin did a commercial to boost her own popularity, but it turned out to be an ad for adult diapers, and it ran for seven years, according to future Ted. Barney made a commercial for his employer to make the company look more warm and fuzzy.

This episode just wasn’t that funny, Barney was hardly in it, and we think we are going to forget it very soon. Too bad, because the last couple of episodes of this show were great. We liked the Godfather reference in Lily's kindergarten classroom, but let's face it, that reference is overdone. We saw it in Rugrats, for heaven's sake.

Episode grade: D+
