How I Met Your Mother: Every Wedding Episode Ranked Worst To Best
11. Home Wreckers
As far as wedding episodes go, this is easily the worst one in How I Met Your Mother. Ted’s mother informs him she’s getting remarried, and to Clint who Ted has never really liked. As well as not seeing much of the wedding itself, we also see Ted’s ugly side as he leaves before his toast due to his unhappiness with Clint’s song and the situation as a whole.
This is incredibly disrespectful in any situation, especially when you’re supposed to be a key part of the wedding, thus there’s a lot of cringe-content with him dramatically leaving. As the main protagonist, we see a lot of Ted’s perspective throughout the show and we get to know his flaws as well as his more loveable traits. But while we might be fine with Ted’s tendency to correct people’s grammar and his pronunciation on encyclopaedia, seeing him act just plain mean feels out of place.
It’s understandable that he’s upset as this marks the loss of his childhood, though while many people might empathise with his feelings, his actions are too far over the line to be supportive of.
