[edit] Plot

Ted thinks he has found the perfect girl, but when the group tells him she talks too much, he suddenly realizes her flaw. They then realize each other's flaws and must learn to live with them, now that they have been "spoiled." Marshall's bar exam results have been released, but he can't remember the password he needs to retrieve the results. Barney is of no help when he gives Marshall what he says is illegal software to retrieve the results, but turns out to be a video of a dog pooping on a baby. Luckily, Marshall's flaw of singing what he's doing proves to be of much help: one of Marshall's nonsense songs contains his password. At the end, Ted comes across his 'perfect' girl at the beginning of the show who is now dating a deaf man.

[edit] The Group's Flaws

  • Lily: Chewing loudly
  • Marshall: Singing about whatever he is doing at the moment (or nonsense)
  • Ted: Correcting people
  • Robin: Overusing the word "literally"
  • Barney: Speaking in a high-pitched voice, overusing catch phrases, and spacing out when his friends are talking to him

Whenever the group sees these flaws glass shatters (in their heads)
