Season 1 - Episode 05: Okay Awesome

Aired: October 17, 2005
Written by: Chris Harris II

Robin manages to get into OK, an ultra hip exclusive nightclub. Ted and Barney will be going with her, but not Marshall and Lily, as they have been doing a lot of "Classy grown-up things", as she referred it to and thinks it may be time for she and Marshall to grow up and put behind the things they used to do back in college. While at the club, Robin runs into problems as she cannot get into the VIP Room, then while outside trying to get it straightened out,a different front door bouncer will not let her in, even though she is on their list to get in, but her name is crossed off and shown she is already in. Meanwhile, Ted realizes that he is not crazy for nightclubs. Marshall and Lily wonder if doing all those "Classy gown up things" are all that great and Barney ends up getting into a very embarrassing situation that is so bad, he tells Ted what happened and that "this night did NOT happen."

summary from imdb

We only got the board during season three, so there are a lot of episodes without threads! So thus begins our Great Rewatch! Watch along with us, or just post about the old episodes from memory, whatever's easiest for you! And while you're watching, if there are any terms or phrases from these early episodes that we've forgotten to add before now, be sure to add them to our Lexicon thread!

We are not laughing about this Ted! This is not going to be, some funny story that we'll be telling in a couple of months..it's not gonna be like Hey, hahaha, remember that time you were grinding with-NO!

And yay! Jayma Mays was in this episode! Any fellow Gleeks here?

**WeBuiltThePyramids** · 08-27-2010, 07:24 PM

I like Glee, wouldn't call myself a Gleek, though. Though the first time I saw the ep I pointed Jayma out before my Gleeky sister did, so I was proud of myself.

Nice! Well I didn't even realize it was her until a few months ago when I first wikipedia-ed Jayma and say HIMYM was on her list

. She's such a sweetie, I wish we saw her again on the show!

Poor Barney

That is mortifying

.

At least there are some lines that even Barney realizes you do not cross.

That story is so perfect for blackmail, though!

Ellipsis · 08-28-2010, 12:45 AM

It is

I'm surprised Ted never brought it up since

breathe you in · 08-28-2010, 02:36 AM

Shoot, I still haven't watched it.. I didn't have the time. I'm going to do it tonight!

s e r e n i t y · 08-28-2010, 03:27 AM

Still havent watched it either but I love Glee so Im very excited to try and spot Jayma,

Sooo watching it now

Why is Barney not suited up?

wearing Tin man clothing isnt suiting up

Jaymaaaa

Im wetting my pants - awww Ted, Ted, Ted,

Aww cute female bonding scene with the VIP and the IP and the lonely little pea speech

So the end scene was in some 'Lily is the mother' theories that I read, saying that Lily starts with her head on MArshals shoulder and ends with it on Ted's and the look the guys exchange its as if to say 'its ok Ted, shes all yours' ... lol, I dont believe those theories and I dont think anyone else does either but it was just an interesting interpretation

Robin: Say you're my bitch.

I'm your bitch, Robin hehe This ep. is awesome just like the title, I love the loud club, Barney could use this with "I can hear my own ear" line with this club too haha Marshall was hilarious with the pregnant woman haha "Not awkward unless you let it be awkward" hahaha The dance is awesome, I wondered what he took in that toilet!

I also like the Lily/Robin scene somehow with the pee thing. I love how Lily said "I'd take a P over Julia Roberts any day" something like that.

**WeBuiltThePyramids** · 08-28-2010, 05:30 AM

Yeah, Shieda, that just shows how many ways people can interpret things. I think it seems more legit if one wants to see it, though.

The LR scene and Marshall dancing were the best parts of the ep for me.

I've been a fan of Jayma since way before Glee (can't remember what actually set my Jayma love off, it might have been HIMYM come to think of it!) and this episode is one of my absolute favourites.

I love the look on Lilys face when she sees Marshal dancing its so cute
