One of the character, Robin, in How I Met Your Mother was a Canadian pop sensation back in the late 80s to early 90s. Yesterday’s episode uncovered one of her lost music video from the past! It’s hilarious because the music video is filled with cliché of songs from that era, completed with an appearance by Tiffany!! Robin is such a different person now in comparison only makes it even funnier.

The show has been taking a lot of heat lately from royal fans because of the sudden appearance of high profile guest stars like Britney Spears to this episode’s Mr. Dawson’s Creek James Van Der Beek. It was rare from the show’s 3 years history. Fans accused the show of being a sell out and becoming the kind of show that rely on special guest stars like the later days of Friends or Will&Grace. But to me I think the show has done it right. The guest stars were never the center of the storyline of the episode, they never overshadow the main characters, and unlike other shows they blend in rather well – even for Britney! So if using a few guest stars without hurting the integrity of the show and at the same time raise the profile and awareness of the show – I’ll say why not?
