#5: HIMYM: Ted as an Unreliable Narrator
One of the interesting aspects of the popular TV show How I Met Your Mother is that the main character, Ted, tells the entire story to his children years after the story is over and the incidents take place. That allows the showrunners to do a lot of fun things while hinting at future events.
But here’s an interesting thought that challenges the whole premise of the show: What if Ted can’t entirely be believed? When everything is told from his point of view, is it possible that he’s an unreliable narrator who tweaks things to make himself look better or to make other people look worse? Yes.
