Marshall and Lily trying to have a baby, and with Monday night’s installment, How I Met Your Mother covered two of them in one half hour. “Baby Talk” took the obvious bits about naming the kid and trying to control the sex of the baby and gave them a nice, enjoyable How I Met twist.
The series has fully established the ease of their love, which makes them utterly believable, even in the zaniest of circumstances. “Baby Talk” wasn’t exactly over-the-top for the couple, but it had its moments. During the opening tease, It feels lovely how sickeningly disgusted they were at the names they suggested for their friends’ (Stuart and Claudia’s) nameless child. Later, their discussions over the names they did like offered up some enjoyable flashbacks as arguments against. Every name Lily disliked was associated with a child she had once taught, including Johnny who ate the class goldfish and Ryan who stabbed her in the leg with a pencil. There was also a very dated reference to Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy,” which unfortunately, even if you got it, wasn’t very funny
Marshall had the best and funniest reasons to argue against a name. “Tara” gave us a flashback to Marshall singing a la Boys II Men to the hottest girl in school. He even had a cane. And “Esther” took us back to an unseen stripper. She didn’t dance, but the implied things she was doing while naked were some of the best laughs of the episode
