Perfect casting for the small but memorable role.

Also, 200? That number is waaay low. I feel like there must be some kind of network pressure to keep it slightly decent. Because 2,000 seems like it would be closer :p It seems super clear to me in that promo that Robin's just sick and trying to get Barney to leave her alone.

IMO she says that just to get rid of Barney, since, having reached such a milestone as the one in this promo, Barney must be unbarably annoying. She does seem to be sick with something and just doesn't want to put up with him. Just as they showed Lilly's enlarged belly from eating hot-dogs as an homage to Hannigan's pregnancy, maybe this is the same for Smulders. Although, considering how promiscuous Robin is, it could be a way to spice the story line and deal with Cobbie's actual pregnancy onscreen. It would certainly complicate things for poor Barney. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Oh, and kudos to Barney for its 200th. LOL. Thanks for the link, Afterglow.

I live in Canada and actually can't access it ("this video is not available for your geographic location") - arg - and the internet is supposed to transgress all geographical borders. And it's too short a clip to be available as a torrent anywhere. Anyway, so for those of you who have seen it: What's going on there? Is Robin supposed to be pregnant or what?!!

And the way he reffers to Holli is not how he would to the Mother, IMO. When the mother comes along, i think we'll know it... or will we? LOL JK LOL Oh, and Stan 's the man. Loved that guy.
