How I Met Your Mother

It's best to play the HIMYM drinking game early in the night, because as you know, nothing good happens after 2am. Before we start the game however, take a drink if your name is Swarley or Swarles Barkley. Also take a drink if you thought Ted should have ended up with Victoria, the girl who very well could have been the mother had the show been cancelled. And lastly, take a drink if you think playing a drinking game belongs on the Murtagh List.

Robin Scherbatsky Drinking Game

But, um ... the drinking game within the HIMYM drinking game. The rules are simple, take a sip every time Robin says, "But, um"

If the kids in Professor Mosby's class can play it, then so can you. Even Ted and Barney play it one night when they figure out how much Robin says the phrase.
