“Blitzgiving”: How I Met Your Mother (S6: E10)

Who's the Blitz?

Plot Summary: Ted peaces out from MacLaren’s early to be cursed with the Blitz, which is to say, he became the guy that leaves the party early only to have something completely awesome happen the second he’s gone.  The curse of the blitz has now been passed on from Steve (played by Jorge Garcia–HURLEY! from Lost) to Ted. The gang ran into Zoey and had an awesome night with her after Ted left.   But because the shenanigans of the previous night broke Ted’s oven, they all head over to Zoey’s house.  She and Ted actually make up.

What we Learn about the Mother: Nope.

Best Moment: Zoey gets the gang minus Ted to play Truth or Dare in MacLaren’s.  She dares Marshall to send a picture of his junk to a complete stranger.  He takes the picture, and then asks everyone to call out random numbers.  The former Blitz (aka Steve/Jorge/Hurley) is now uncursed and can be there for the fun stuff.  He rushes into the bar and calls out ‘random’ numbers: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.  (SO META!) Marshall sends the pic to 481-516-2342.

Top 3 Quotes:

1) Ted is hosting his very first Thanksgiving, where he plans to make a tur-tur-key-key, which is when you stuff a turkey with another turkey.

2) When Ted has to cancel his Thanksgiving for lack of oven, the gang tells him they could go to Zoey’s.  When he refuses, Robin replies: You violated a dead turkey. With another dead turkey.  Don’t let that be in vain.

3) While they’re at Zoey’s house, Marshall gets a reply from the guy he sent the picture of his junk to the night before.  The guy sends a picture of his own junk.  Lily replies: Wang guy sent you a picture of his wang?  It’s a boomawang!  They then ask Wang Guy if (regarding Zoey and Ted) enemies can ever become friends.  He replies yes and says you have to be the change you want to see in the world.  Steve/Hurley replies: Dude, did Wang Guy just quote Gandhi?
