I like the conceit of two inadvertent couples, but the execution was a little broad. Marshall and his law school buddy's platonic romance was the funnier of the two bits, with Marshall's desire to have brunch and Ted and Robin's friendly joshing keeping things light if inessential. But the Barney-Lily story was too rushed and cartoonish for my tastes. It had more of the rhythms of your standard exaggerated sitcom than the more creative takes HIMYM usually offers.
