This clip might be old to you, but it’s new to me. I like it because it manages to simultaneously exist in two polar planes as both the biggest spoiler of all-time (bad!) and also an almost incomparably compelling call-to-action to watch their show THIS WEEK (good!). Probably the best television promotion I’ve seen since I started paying any sort of real attention to what makes a good television promotion. And man oh man, that Smulders. Want … to touch … the heinie.

Also, anyone else feel like Jason Segel’s concentration is elsewhere this season? Or is it just that his portrayal of Marshall in the first two seasons was just SO awesome that everything else is bound to be a letdown? I mean, it’s not like I don’t think that the former is kind of forgivable for the first few episodes. After all, he is coming off a big summer in which he wrote and starred in the Judd Apatow produced “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” All I’m saying is that I miss my Marshall. Come back!

PS, you should all join the HIMYM Awesome Gang on Facebook. I’m in like 30 Facebook groups, but this is the only one that I have been compelled to visit a couple times each week. Good stuff.
