How I Met Your Mother Quiz: Who Said It - Ted Or Future Ted?
Were these quotes said by Ted in 2005 or Ted in 2030?
In addition to the comedy component, How I Met Your Mother has a multi-level plot and is more like a comedy melodrama than simply just a comedy.
Throughout the series, Ted Mosby is telling his teenage children the story of how he met their mother, with young Ted being portrayed by Josh Radnor and Future Ted - the narrator - being voiced by Bob Saget.
In 2030, Ted begins his story with how a pretty girl comes to his company of friends, with whom he falls in love. It would seem that it's time to end the story, but it turns out that this girl is known to his future children as Aunt Robin.
So, Ted begins to tell his children the stories of his youth, the search for love and adventure, socialising with a small group of friends, and meeting the future mother of his children.
After nearly a decade of watching Ted search for his future wife, season 8 revealed the titular mother to be Tracy McConnell. However, the last season of the show changes the format of How I Met Your Mother’s storytelling, following two timelines - the present, as characters prepare for Barney and Robin's wedding and flash-forwards as Ted and Tracy’s life together.
So, for now, it’s time to remember whether these quotes are said by Ted in 2005 or narrated by Future Ted in 2030.
