How I Met Your Mother Film Noir

I was sent this on Friday but I’ve had a big weekend. Got my wallet and phone stolen. No fun. There is that donate button :)

Here we see How I Met Your Mother envisioned as a film noir. Robin as the femme fatale, Barney as the renegade cop, Ted as the troubled thug. Inspired by the remix of The Shining, CBS’s EyeLab cut this together. I love it. My favorite part is the “Columbia Broadcasting System” and CBS zoom in the end, really nice vintage touch. Enjoy!

I recommend you watch it on youtube in the HD version, it’s pretty.

    never saw the trailer 'till now! Awesome! Had a flashback of the beginning of the year, waking up in the morning, and watch a new episode, over and over again. xD

    Can't wait.

    I'm pretty sure this gets funnier and funnier every time I see it.

    So now you must fight the temptation to rewrite the script one more time, just to make it that much better :) Congratulations

    Undoubtedly, The Shining is full of memorable moments (the elevator scene or the ‘Heeeeeere’s Johnny’ one-liner for instance) and, simply put, it’s flawlessly brilliant.
