“Come on, dude. You promised you’d stop if I ate all those crayons.”
The group misses the Superbowl but is determined to not find out the score until they can watch the game Monday night.
Ted hands out assignments for the Superbowl game when a they find out the mysterious “Mark” from the bar died and they have to go to his funeral, which is during the Superbowl. They decide to Tivo the game and watch it after the funeral. At the funeral they all realize they did know Mark. Unfortunately at 2:30 that morning they are still at the bar listening to Carl tell stories about Mark. Lily says that they should just find out the score but Ted insists that it’s tradition. So they’re going to watch it the next night instead, but they’re going to have to do a media blackout.
The next day they all work really hard to not find out the score. Ted works from home, Barney ends up handcuffing himself to the radiator in Ted’s apartment. It’s especially hard on Robin, because she is in the media. She keeps trying to avoid hearing them report on the score.
Marshall had promised Lily he’d go with her to school for show-and-tell. But there is a kid who tries to blackmail him or the kid will tell him the score.
Ted has to go to a sports bar to pick up the hot wings, but he wears noise-canceling headphones and a pair of duct taped sunglasses with blinders.
Robin manages to avoid hearing the score, and tries to talk them into not talking about the game for the rest of the newscast.
Barney discovers he handcuffed himself to a pipe that was open on the end so all he had to do was slide the handcuff off and he sneaks out of the apartment while Ted is wearing his glasses. Then Ted realizes they forgot the dipping sauce.
The kids is still taunting Marshall
with ever increasingly embarrassing blackmail.
Robin’s newscast is insance because they’re using completely generic words for who won.
Finally, Marshall has had enough and sprays the kid on the crotch with a juice box so it looks like he wet himself.
Barney is desperate to find out who won the Superbowl because he has money riding on the game. But everyone he runs into on the street has no idea who won.
Ted goes back to the sports bar and gets the dipping sauce.
But, simultaneously, things start to go wrong for everyone. Ted slips on the pool ball, Robin, Lily, and Marshall all accidentally hear the score. And Barney finds out that his team lost.
When everyone comes over, Ted’s ready to get started but no one will admit they heard the score. Then Barney comes in and they find out he lost, so they all “know” who won then. They’re not going to watch the game, but then they decide it’s more about the act of watching than finding out who won.
The Mother- Really. How is this leading us to The Mother? But it’s still funny.
