In a hilarious way to promote How I Met Your Mother's new 8:00 timeslot, CBS has released a video entitled "Femme Fatale Robin Scherbatsky."

The video is a series of clips from prior seasons cut to look like a film noir in which Robin plays a femme fatale, Ted plays a thug, Barney plays a cop, and Marshall plays the DA.

It's pretty entertaining and definitely worth a watch.  Now hurry up and update those DVRs to record the new timeslot for the best sitcom on television.
