How I Met Your Mother S04E16 – Sorry, Bro

Ted hooks up with his pretentious ex-girlfriend, Karen, whom Lily and Marshall despise. Marshall goes into work with no pants and Barney makes fun of him.



Robin, having started her new job hosting Come On, Get Up New York! at 4 AM, feels like she's been missing a lot of what her friends have been doing, and asks the gang catch her up on what they've been up to for the past week.

Barney starts to tell Robin about something embarrassing that happened to Marshall at work, but the tale gets interrupted by the news of Ted having lunch with his pretentious high school and college girlfriend, Karen, whom Marshall and Lily hate. After they catch Robin up on Ted and Karen's history, including her repeatedly cheating on Ted throughout their college years, Barney reveals what happened to Marshall - after working out at the gym at work, he realized he had forgotten his pants at home.

Ted continues his story of his lunch with Karen, and eventually admits that he started hooking up with her following it, earning Marshall and Lily's ire. When Robin asks if Ted plans to keep seeing her, Marshall predicts that he will until Karen inevitably cheats on him again, at which point Ted reveals that she was actually cheating on someone else with him. After concluding his story with how he told Karen off and broke up with her for good, Ted mentions that it resulted in Karen having an honest conversation with her boyfriend and ending their relationship properly. While everyone else congratulates him, Lily becomes suspicious and asks Ted how he knows this. Ted then informs them that he and Karen got back together after she broke up with her boyfriend, right before Karen herself enters the bar and joins them, to everyone's collective disdain.

Meanwhile, Marshall finishes the story about his pants. After realizing he didn't have them, he called Lily, who brought him a spare pair. Unfortunately, she ran into Barney first and gave them to him, asking him to give them to Marshall. While Barney did give Marshall his pants, he first shredded them with a pair of scissors, effectively forcing Marshall to spend the day in extremely short shorts.
