NEW YORK — Stacey Fricks is done with fictional character Ted Mosby due to his failure to mention the 2025 Nazi problem in the character’s numerous anecdotes to his fictional children.
Fricks, the self-proclaimed, number one How I Met Your Mother superfan, shared her new stance on Ted with her roommates through the thin doors of her apartment.
“Ted Mosby is a pretty big dick for not even hinting at all this Nazi stuff in 2025.” Fricks shouted to her half asleep roommates. “I can kind of give him a pass for not mentioning Covid cause there’s a fan theory that Tracy probably died from Covid. I mean if you line up her death with the pandemic, it kind of makes sense, but Nazis, Ted, , you have to give us some kind of warning. He’s a smart guy. He wouldn’t be one of those people calling it “Elon’s Gesture”, he’d take a Nazi at face value.”
Frick’s fan theory filled rant continued into the night as she started to second guess just how smart Ted’s character actually was. .
“Ted did miss all the signs Robin was giving him that one time in season one. And he couldn’t read the room when Stella didn’t want any exes at their wedding. Oh god, he also dated that one punk chick who used to date that tattoo artist who was very Nazi-coded. Ted might actually be a Nazi.” Fricks said, spiraling out of control. “That’s it. From this day forward I will no longer watch How I Met Your Mother. No more Slapsgiving or the Naked Man for me.”
Fricks isn’t alone in her new found dislike of the show. Hundreds of very online HIMYM heads took to the internet to call for a boycott. Josh Radnor, the actor who portrayed Ted Mosby, commented on the boycott during an interview on CBS Mornings to discuss his upcoming HIMYM rewatch podcast, How We Made Your Mother.
“I personally denounce Nazis,” Radnor said, staring down the barrel of the camera. “Now Ted on the other hand, who’s to say? I guess you’ll just have to listen to How We Made Your Mother to get the full picture.”
At press time, Frick’s had started her 128th rewatch of HIMYM to prepare to listen to HWMYM in the hopes Ted’s nonchalance to Nazis would be given proper context.
