How I Met Your Mother - The TV Show

When someone half overhears something, they simply ask; when someone in a relationship sees their partner doing something that looks suspicious they don’t jump to crazy conclusions, they ask or they assume there is a reasonable explanation.
In fact, I think the writers deliberately skewer these tropes to parody other, lamer, comedies, or to show their characters are both bright and genre-aware enough to not act like typical sitcom characters.
And I am hot for Lily.
