HIMYM - 'Twelve Horny Women'

I know I said this one might be up later rather than sooner, but I don't feel like going to bed quite yet, so here it is!
We open with a flash-forward of Marshall in front of a panel of judges, and they're possibly going to 'change the course of his career' That sounds ominous! Because of the way he behaved in court during the trial with Brad the a-hole ex-friend. Also, I forgot that that's the guy Marshall went to Brunch with haha!
Barney and Robin are ignoring each other and acting like they never kissed, and Ted called them all in sick (Barney has massive hemmorhoids haha) so they can all go support him at the trial. Then Barney and Lily talk about how they were such huge badasses when they were teenagers. And Ted pretends he was too... I'm not sure who's lying.
Then I figure out where the title came from (aside from the obvious play on '12 Angry Men') because Brad is making a ridiculous speech that makes no sense, then goes 'excuse me, I dropped my pen' and bends over and the entire jury (all women) are all staring at his ass... 

They couldn't have been more distracted if he came in
wearing his fireman outfit from Magic Mike.

LMAO I loved Marshall's line here - 'Objection - your honour, no one needs this long to pick up a pen' but of course the judge is one of those not-so-subtly-in-the-closet-Jim-Rash-esque-gay types, so he'll allow it haha
AND THEN he mentions the episode title hahaha I love it when they do that!! He also mentioned 12 Angry Men lol!

Don't get me wrong, it's a great movie.
But definitely less funny than this episode.

And even the court stenographer is doodling pictures of a shirtless Brad making out with her (poor Marshall is drawn looking like a short fat stinky hick) and he goes 'that's just super-mean!'
Brad calls a witness that is an idiot doctor who mentions that the birds were given free Viagra by the pollution of the lake (Brad mentions he doesn't need Viagra, of course) and then Marshall calls in an adorable baby duckling who he says was harmed by the chemical pollution and had a huge rash.
Brad's comeback to this is to show a video of himself playing the saxophone, swimming, flexing, etc (guess he didn't need the fireman costume) at the lake to prove 'the water's fine' and holy crap this is such a mockery of the justice system I can't help but laugh hahah
Lily asks the court records lady to look up her 'rap sheet' but no such thing exists, of course lol and then Robin says that she (as Robin Sparkles) was a total badass on the road and threw a TV out a window because the RCMP had a noise complaint for her lol.
The next day Marshall has an important realisation in the courtroom, Brad is scratching his chest a lot, and so he calls Brad to the stand and asks him to remove his shirt (the judge of course is all for it) and he HAS A RASH!! Just like the baby duck!! Because he went swimming in the lake!! 

I'd take this little guy over Joe Manganiello's pecs anyday! :)

So Marshall wins the case but only gets $25,000 from the pharmaceutical company rather than the $25 million he was asking for because the judge is a turd...
It turns out none of them were badasses, Robin actually got an award from the Manitoba Association of Hotels and Curling Rinks for being the nicest and best-behaved hotel guest ever hahaha
Marshall has a dream where he and his son are fishing at Frog Lake and it's all poisonous and toxic and there's a lake monster called the Frog King... Which you'd think Marshall would love!

Nessie and the Frog King.. Still a better love story than Twilight.

Then Marshall is sitting in a bar being all sad, and Brad shows up and apologises to him and says he quit his job and took one at Marshall's firm. Then they've made a brunch reservation and everything is fine lol and Brad says the judge was an idiot... Which is the reason he's sitting in that courtroom! Because he wants to become a judge! Awww!! Yaay Marshall!!
Barney and Robin meet up (also at the bar) and he apologises to her and says they can go back to normal, just being friends, and then he goes to get them some beer and she makes a face like 'oh my god!'
I have to say, I'm disappointed they didn't do a Thanksgiving episode this year!! Although I don't think there's a way they could top either the Slapsgiving or Blitzgiving episodes, which are probably among my favourite episodes of the entire show :P
Until next week, thanks for reading, and as always, leave a comment!!
