6.3/10. Oh HIMYM, you're getting into that zone of really dumb comedy. I mean hey, I get that it's an exaggerated show, but Brad attempting (and mostly succeeding) at winning the case via sex appeal is just kind of lazy comedy that didn't really have any genuine laughs to it. I like the idea of Marshall having to come up with a strategy and realizing that being a lawyer may not be the best path to him changing the world, but it's all pretty loud and lame in the effort, so there's not much to it at the end of the day.
The B-plot about everyone arguing over who was the biggest badass when they were young is slight, and worth a few chuckles, but pretty tepid in the final balance. I'm always up for references to The Wire, and some of the differences between the fake stories and the real stories were cute (Ted's "princess" line was a particularly nice touch), but for the most part it was just kind of there.
