So, this was originally just going to be a mini picspam of the Sandcastles in the Sand and Miracles scenes. Then I procrastinated a bit and a couple days went by and I thought.. well, now I should probably make it worth the wait, and it turned into an epic picspam of a couple of my favourite Barney/Robin scenes from each season, plus other random caps of pretty.
SO, ENJOY!
Season 1
B: Not so fast, Scherbatsky. I like the way you think. That mirror thing.. simple, elegant. Ok, limited time offer. I need a bro, for my bro-ings on about town. How would you, like to be said bro?
R: Well, as tempting as that sounds, I'm hanging out with my friend who just got dumped. She really needs some support.. or a stranger's tongue down her throat. That seems healthy. Alright, guess I'm in.
Yeah, so this picspam is basically starting off with every single scene from Zip, Zip, Zip. What else would you expect?! This is where the awesome started. Robin officially becomes his bro!
B: Father issues.. hot.
R: I know, I was this close to being a huge slut.
B: Slut would have been better, but I'll settle for bro. Especially now Ted's with Victoria and can't drink. Because he's pregnant. Because he's the girl.
R: Come on, Ted can't be pregnant. You need to have sex to get pregnant.
B: What up! Freeze-frame high five!
--
B: Are you kidding? Ted's never been here. You've already flown higher and faster than he ever did. Still..
R: What?
B: Nah.. There is one other thing we could do.. if you're up for it.
Yeah, quite possible my favourite scene right up until Sandcastles. He's so impressed with her total awesomeness throughout the entire scene. She suited up! She loves her scotch and cigars! She happily high fives him! She's a better bro than Ted! They are just perfect for each other, guys.
R: I had no idea laser tag still existed!
B: Yeah well enjoy it before it becomes cool again, I give it two months.
R: Oh I believe it, this is awesome.
B: Ok, follow my lead, stay low, and never underestimate a twelve year old with a.. Scherbatsky, you gotta focus! .. You just saved my life, didn't you?
R: Thank me later. Lets keep moving, these little bastards are everywhere.
R: Oh god, these brats have us completely surrounded! I counted nine, maybe ten.. I'll lay down some cover so you can make a run for it.
B: No! Leave no man behind. Either we all get out of here, or no-one does.
R: But I-
B: Don't be a hero, Scherbatsky!
R: See you on the other side.
omfg, amazing. They're such dorks, and I just love it.
R: You know what game I really miss? Battleship. I've never lost a game.
B: Neither have I. Of course, I cheat.
R: Oh yeah, me too. The trick is to bend the aircraft carrier so it makes an L.
B: Ahh. I always just stack the ships on top of each other.
R: Nice! We should have a cheaters grudge match.
Again with the dorkiness! Barney is totally more focused on her and her awesome than he is on jukebox girl.
B: Hey. Let's get out of here, let's go somewhere else.
R: Well what happened?
B: Eh, sometimes I like to do a little catch and release.
R: But why?
B: Leave no man behind. Either we all score, or no-one scores.
R: Right on. Hey, you wanna go play Battleship?
B: Hit!
SEE, MY POINT. Barney totally does not apply that rule to his bro-ings on with Ted or Marshall. I mean, ok, he probably thought he was going to get it on with Robin, but still. He clearly really would rather just play Battleship with her than hook up with someone else. Their adorable little smiles in this scene kiiill me. And that nod Robin gives to jukebox girl? One of my all-time favourite Robin moments, seriously. Amazing.
R: You know Barney, I had a surprisingly good time bro-ing out tonight.
B: Well, you make a good bro. Haha, you're a better Ted than Ted. Hey, in fact, you have just earned yourself an invite to Marshall's bachelor party. And you don't even have to come out of the cake.
R: Thanks. And um, thanks for sticking around tonight. I hope you're ready for some hardcore Battleship.
B: Hardcore? That's the only way I play.
--
R: I found it! Are you ready to- what the hell are you doing?!
B: I'm birthday suiting up. I'm sorry, did you want to undress me?
R: Ok, you and me, that's insane. If you even thought about it for one second..
B: But I have thought about it, for three seconds, and it makes a lot of sense. We both think the marriage/commitment thing's a drag, we both want something casual and fun, and we clearly get along really well.
R: Wow, that actually did make a lot of sense.
--
R: You're not gonna tell him, are you?
B: No. That's the bro code. A bro doesn't tell a mutual bro, that a third bro has a crush on him. Just like the third bro doesn't tell the mutual bro that the original bro went bare pickle in front of her. It's quid pro bro!
Words cannot describe the awesome of this scene. Barney's reasoning for why they'd be good together still stands, and YES, ROBIN, it does make sense. Keep that in mind for S4 ;) I just love that Barney actually thought up reasons why they'd be good together, that went further than the fact that they are both hot. And aw, he just sounds/looks so sweet when he answers her about telling Ted.
Random Awesome
B: There she is. Hey, Is it cold in here? 'Cause I can kinda see Robin's nickels.
--
B: Hello, Aunt Kathy, what's up?
R: Oh, nothing. Just thinking about you, hot stuff.
Season 2
B: Too weak.. to hold.. bowl.
R: Fine, I'll feed you.
B: Ouchie in my mouth! I don't want it, I want ice cream.
R: No, you're not having ice cream for dinner just because you're sick.
B: But my throat hurts!
R: No!
B: I hate you! .. Don't leave me.
This scene is just way too adorable. I love that she got him in bed and made him soup! And sick and childish Barney is just too cute. Their bickering = awesome.
B: Ted, you're throwing your life away. This girl is blinding you, with her shiny hair, and her boob shaped boobs. This is bad for you too, you know. How are you going to feel when he sees you without any makeup?
R: I'm not wearing any makeup right now.
B: Holy crap, you're beautiful!
I don't think I need to explain why I love this scene. Look at how smiley and pleased she is when he calls her beautiful!
R: Hey, Barney, check out what I got Lily for her shower. It's kinda racy, think you can handle it?
B: Uh, I've been in a ten-way, so yeah.
R: .. It's kinda see-through.
B: Woooah, you weren't kidding! You know when you should give that to her? 1850! Robin, it's her bridal shower. All her friends are gonna be there, they're gonna be drinking, you need to get her something daring, something outrageous.
R: Well, what do you think I should get her?
B: There's a store, on 8th Avenue, that specialises in.. how to put this delicately.. uh, battery powered, adult, recreational, fake penises.
Um, yeah, so you know Barney would like the lingerie if Robin showed it to him by wearing it. And I just adore those last two caps. He makes her smile so much <3
Random Awesome
R: What's the matter with you? I'm his girlfriend and I'm not even trying that hard. Way to wreck the curve, kiss-ass.
--
R: You have to go home and get to bed!
B: Oh Robin, my simple friend from the untamed north. Let me tell you about a little thing I like to call mind over body. You see, whenever I start feeling sick, I stop being sick, and start being awesome instead. True story.
--
R: I did not know you were such a fan of new dart, Barney!
B: Oh yes Robin, I just love new dart. Nude.. art.
Season 3
B: Hey there. How are you doing?
R: Fine, Barney. I mean.. fine, stranger. [giggles]
B: Wow, you really are awful at this, aren't you.
R: Get your hand off my thigh, Barney.
B: It's supposed to look like we're about to hook up, Robin.
R: You know, I'm curious. What do you say to these girls to get them to come home with you?
B: Usually I just lean in and whisper this one thing in their ear.. [whispers] .. You're a little turned on right now, aren't you?
R: No! [giggles]
I love this scene for obvious reasons. Firstly, because she was so excited about doing this. Secondly, the look on his face when he sees her looking so hot. Thirdly, THE THIGH STROKING. Fourthly, her being totally turned on. Fifthly, how absolutely gleeful he is at about that fact.
B: Alright, I can't find yoour video. I've wasted three days tr- what's the matter?
R: Uh.. Simon dumped me, in his van, after the show.
B: Yeah, Robin, that was like.. ten years ago.
R: No, tonight.
B: Ohh, really? Ohh, ohh, come here. Come here.
R: It's just.. when I was young, I was so vulnerable and open to things, you know? I guess I just.. I wanted to feel that way again. I wanted to be sixteen again.
B: Robin, that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard come out of your mouth. You want to be 16 again? I have watched your first Robin Sparkles video a thousand times, and it's not because I'm proud of you as a friend; it's because you were totally, totally lame back them. But now! Come on, pakow! You're the most awesome person I have ever known- well, second most awesome.
R: Right, of course, the first being you.
B: No, no! The first is this guy who lives in a place called the mirror. What UP. I'm saying, that you are way more awesome than Simon ever will be.
R: Barney, do you wanna come back to my place?
B: Your place?
Gah, so much love for this scene. I love how he's totally sweet and comforts her while still being Barney. And all the shoulder stroking! And the adorable looks! And she's the most awesome person he's ever known! You know, despite all his insistence that he's Ted's best friend, Ted clearly has some competition for that spot in Barney's heart ;)
B: Are you sure you wanna do this?
R: Yeah, I am. Let's just not tell anybody about this, ok?
B: Of course. So, should I just.. put it in?
R: Yeah, why not.
B: It's everything I want it to be, and more!
R: Aw, I'm so glad.
Look at how cute they are, with the giggling and the getting closer and the total adorable!
T: And so they watched it again. And again. And again.
Favourite part, right there! That little adoring look she gives him and then her expression as she looks away.. I just love how obvious it is that she was the one who made the first move.
T: They watched it over and over that night, until finally.. they stopped watching.
YAY, HOT KISS. I love the way she's grabbing his tie, and how he cups her face, and guuh. YUM. I definitely don't blame Neil for his excitement while watching this scene.
R: Ok, here's the deal, Barney. The second my feet touch the ground, this never happened.
B: Okay. Wait.. right click, save as, into the bpeg folder aaand, okay. This never happened.. it's a good plan.
R: Now, we go back to exactly how things were before.
B: Ok, alright. So, Robin..
R: Yes, Barney?
B: Guess who nailed the chick from Metro News One last night.
Oh, Barney. His "good plan" was so seriously unconvincing. He doesn't want to forget it, Robin! And you know you don't either. And the fact that she actually high fives him? Hee. They are amazing.
M: Hey uh, Ted said that right before the accident, his life flashed before his eyes, you know, all the stuff he loves. That happen to you?
L: Oh yeah, I know what he saw, boobs.
M: Scotch.
L: Money.
M: Suits.
L: A suit of money!
M: A suit of boobs! A giant boob, wearing a suit of money!
L: And the boob is lactating scotch!
M: I guess that's pretty much everything you love, right?
B: Yeah, pretty much.
HE LOVES HER. This scene and those looks at that smile, are pretty much the most awesome thing I have seen on tv in a very long time. And now I'm curious about exactly what images of Robin he saw. I'm thinking pretty much a giant montage like this picspam? Just.. very fast.
Random Awesome
B: You haven't changed, Scherbatsky. You're a sophisticated, Scotch-swilling, cigar-smoking, red-meat-eating, gun toting New Yorker.
--
R: I like sports cars, but that doesn't mean I wanna push a Ferrari through my vagina.
B: Shotgun!
--
R: I don't know, Barney. I mean, sometimes persistence pays off. I said yes eventually.
B: No, you didn't. You were like, "No, we can't, we're friends, it would mess up the dynamic of the group-"
R: To Ted.
--
R: You can't just call things, Barney!
B: I call that I can call things!
--
B: Now, there's no reason to be nervous, because my friend Robin has agreed to help out.
R: Because you threatened to put a video of us on the internet, which I'm still not convinced you have.
B: Right, which is why came all the way from Brooklyn at midnight.
(S3 is just generally fabulous. True story.)
So, here concludes this picspam. Is it next season yet? :D
