Sex & hookups 11 moments
How Sex & hookups shows up in How I Met Your Mother S8 E14:
Yeah, I don't speak virgin either.
For me! Why do you want me to hook up with this 20-year-old? I thought I disgusted you.
T-To hook up with a girl, I have to connect with her at least a little.
It's almost like we were hooking up with her together.
There are four million women in the city of New York, Ted, and you sleep with my sister? Why would the universe do that to me? I don't know.
And those aisles are too narrow! BARNEY: But you two have to get married-- otherwise, it's just a cheap, meaningless, disgusting one-night stand.
So if you think about it-- but not too much-- it's actually good that Carly and I hooked up.
Old men are so sexy.
Robin, once you have a child, anything that gets you even remotely close to the possibility of sex is worth a few pus-filled blisters.
No, but, baby, then all the sex will stop.
Marshall, you don't need a cuff for me to find you sexy.
Nudity & bodies 2 moments
How Nudity & bodies shows up in How I Met Your Mother S8 E14:

- TED
Wait, did you steal my dream journal? No! Now, get back in there before all your teeth fall out and you're naked in front of Shaker Heights High School in a play you never rehearsed for.
Alcohol & drugs 3 moments
How Alcohol & drugs shows up in How I Met Your Mother S8 E14:
How'd she get beer already? Do you see a ring on that finger? Whoa.
Are you saying that this invisibility thing means I might not be able to get beer? I was just getting used to the idea of having to pay for coffee and bagels and rent.
(chuckles) Three beers, please.
