There's definitely plot-driven How I Met Your Mother episodes that advance the overall storyline and then there are just plain silly sitcom episodes that stand on their own.  Last night's "Murtaugh" was definitely the latter.

During one of the silliest, best intros of any show, Barney gets banned from laser tag for life and decides to exact revenge by toilet papering the place with Ted. However, Ted says he's too old for that and adds it to his Murtaugh list.
