In 2008, Britney Spears was one of the most famous pop stars in the world. Apparently, she was also a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother, as she asked the creators if she could have a guest spot in the show's third season.

They cast Spears as Abby, the receptionist at Stella's dermatology practice, and she stole the show in her first appearance, Ten Sessions. She brought a weird innocence to Abby, selling her crush on Ted to perfection. Her desperation evolved into a weird love/hate relationship with him, which is equally hilarious.

In Abby's second episode, Everything Must Go, she teams up with Barney to take Ted down. Spears and Harris prove to be one of the funniest cast combinations of the season, as they pretend to be a couple in order to show Ted how lame he is. When Barney fake proposes, Abby doesn't quite get the memo and starts planning their wedding.

Despite only appearing in two episodes, Spears makes a huge mark on the show.
