10 How I Met Your Mother Jokes That Have NOT Aged Well
3. Barney’s Filming Of His Sexual Partners
It’s a running joke on the show that Barney has hidden cameras all over his apartment. He records all of his sexual exploits. The women involved never know they are being filmed.
Recording a sexual act without the consent of both parties is a crime but How I Met Your Mother seems to have no idea of laws governing sex crimes. It’s all about the laughs.
In fact, when confronted by Robin about the tiny camera in his headboard he responds with frustration, “That is how a quarterback stays sharp. On Monday morning I sit on a bag of ice and review the game tape.” The laugh track comes right on and we all chuckle along, unaware of what we are covertly endorsing.
