Oh my god, the nostalgia is kind of heartbreaking! They're truly the hilarious quintet.
James: What is The Playbook?
Barney: ... That was a book in the young (awesome~~) days where I had different, you know, ways to get dirty. It included a lot of doppelganger names. 'The Scuba Diver' -- that was a good one.
James: Oh Jesus.
Barney: 'Oh Jesus' was awesome!
Too much, I can't laugh anymore. xD
~~End Update~
The series kick-starts with Ted recounting his search for romance to his kids in a narrative, point-of-view fashion. Sounds boring, but yes, in essence, the whole series is a flashback on Ted's life and how he met their mother. And Ted, being insistent and verbally fervent to tell his story, goes back to the prime of his life and all the women he's been with...
The all-famous 13-second opening sequence of HIMYM. Just watch it!
Five friends, or more like wing buddies, have a compulsive habit of setting each other up on dates, usually not taking 'no' for an answer. Thing is, it gets complicated when they begin dating within themselves... save for Marshall and Lily, who are already happily husband and wife. They all have their own personal idiosyncrasies and express them unreservedly. They go to uninhibited lengths to do whatever they want and procure their love interests, but usually end up annoying the hell out of one another or just botching the plan. Their main hangout is a snazzy bar called MacLaren's Pub, also known as where they pick up chicks.
Many people have compared and contrasted this show's characters to their 'corresponding' personae in FRIENDS, outlining similarities in personalities and circumstances... or saying how it's a lazy rip-off of the aforementioned sitcom. Truth is -- it's no slight modification; the plot is original -- inspired by the producers' life stories. Just Google if you don't believe me. Aaaanyways...

Ted -- the guy with the awkward relationship complex. He's on some kinda romantic pilgrimage, with his love life cluttered with psychotic women, dating agencies and Barney's shenanigans. With noble architectural dreams of grandeur, Ted's love for buildings doesn't lose out to his love for a soul mate. Unlucky, disheartened but still hopeful, he continues his search for romance. It was in the first episode where he dramatically fell head over heels for Robin, but due to a series of mishaps, he got dumped, as usual. Since then, Ted and Robin have always had a thing between themselves, and feelings are on edge occasionally. And Robin joins the gang.
