I Won't Grow Up

The gang all agrees about Lethal Weapon, except for Robin, who wants to set up the made-up Canadian joke of the week. "Oh, I don't know. It's kind of a rip-off. Old guy paired up with a young, renegade cop. Sound familiar?" The gang looks at her with curiosity. "MacElroy and LeFleur." There's no response, so she adds, "Don't tell me you guys have never seen MacElroy and LeFleur? It's the greatest Canadian action movie of all time!" Well, there you go. Even Barney rolls his eyes at her, but Robin will not be deterred. "MacElroy is a young, renegade Mountie, whose horse was just killed by evil Americans, while LeFleur, his grouchy old, African-Canadian partner, just bought a cozy ice-fishing shack in northern Alberta." While Barney and Ted start to argue her down, Marshall says he has to dash. Lily returns from the kitchen, where she may have been doing dishes, which hardly seems fair since she no longer lives there. She wishes him luck at "practice." He's now coaching her kindergarten class's basketball team. He thought it would be fun. Lily thought it would be good dad practice. But from future Ted's perspective, Marshall is a ridiculous hard-ass with the little ones, while Lily is so soft and flighty, she makes Glinda the Good Witch look like a shrew. When she brings the team orange slices for a snack, Marshall won't let the "little turds" have any because "oranges are for winners," while they haven't even sunk a basket. He then subjects them to suicide sprints. So much for "Coach Marshmallow."
