How I Met Your Mother/Recap/S6/E11 The Mermaid Theory

When Ted's new friendship with Zoey tests the theory that single men and married women can't be friends, he invites her husband, "The Captain," to hang out with them. Meanwhile, Marshall and Robin decide to spend alone time together, and Barney and Lily possibly have a fight.

Tropes used in How I Met Your Mother/Recap/S6/E11 The Mermaid Theory include:

• If I Wanted You Dead...: Rather than say 'you would already be dead', The Captain says:

"If I wanted to kill you, I'd invite you to my hunting lodge."

• Uncanny Valley: The Captain's face gives the main characters the creeps. Marshall concluded it was because the bottom half is constantly happy and smiling, but the top half is going to kill you. How The Captain talks doesn't help either.
