  • The mother should be someone prestiges in the acting world, maybe Jeniffer Aniston.

    The mother is Carly, barney's half sister who was in ted's class and is the roomate of cindy.

  • Your evidence could literally apply to any of the dozens of dark haired women shown at the St. Patty's day party, and we know that Stella does not introduce Ted to his future wife, since he meets her at Barney's wedding, which Stella was almost assuredly not invited to (what with her being a bitch and all), what Stella did was inadvertently lead to Ted becoming a professor. Furthermore, HIMYM shows dozens of seemingly meaningless interactions and doesn't give further meaning to any of them.

  • RANDOM ASS CLOWN HUGGING A WEATHER MAN @1:26... gotta be quick at pausing though...

  • @MrOberalpstock ted hugging a joker and what with the weather forecast? 1:26

  • Well the Mother is called Tracy.

    Ted met a stripper which name ist Tracy. He said "And that kids, is the story how i met your mother." At the kids reaction ("Whaaaat?!") you can see ; Tracy. Don't forget it ;)

  • If you are fast enough to stop the clip at 1:26 you'll see a little secret ;D

  • I dont get why everyone thinks its someone that he has bumped into because its how i MET your mother.

  • I dont think she is Stellas friend i think Stella is a link bc her husband felt bad for ted and gave him a job at columbia and ted said she was in the classroom when he started teaching the wrong class.

  • @1010EV I concur. But it is a good theory none the less.

  • i thought this too

  • Ted marrys me at the end. TRUE STORY.

  • whatever about the mother, we all know barney is the father of at least one of the kids.

  • I think it's Barney's step sister

  • @LINDOUILLLE one thing to keep you thinking barney is ted bro i might know this one rule by being a guy period is to not date your bros family

  • It could also be Robin's sister, you know, in one episode, Ted said that he met the wife at Marshall's wedding, that means that the wife should know all of the crew, and the gril knew them all, also in the first episode, the kids were suprised when Ted said "Aunt Robin", but yeah, fact is, Robin's sister is a bit young for Ted, but, it's only an opinion, I don't know,

  • this isnt the mother becouse he would of reconizd her becouse she would have been in his class once

  • Ted's future wife is Barney's step sister because barney's dad says he has a son and an older daughter who is in college...CINDY'S ROOMATE

  • C'mon this is,stupid stop trying to find evidence of who their mother is,if all of us knew the end it wouldn't be that fun,there wont be that dramatic moment who will probably get interrupted by the commercials so they can keep us in more anticipation,but i like that you are such big fans that in every episode you look for some clue.Its an awesome sitcom i hope that their mother's identity won't be revealed yet because i still don't wan't this awesome sitcom to end.

  • MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!! but yeah music could have been better

  • series finale - kids.. unfortunately you're not real (same stupid ending as with robins kids season7)

  • @polaris310784 how do u know

  • @stufftodowhenurboard just spreading rumour :D

  • The Bump Girl is just red herring, in my book. Everybody go watch the video about the Carly Theory! Carly as in Barney's dad's daughter!

  • 1 people can use hair dye.

    2 listen to the clip that says he found out years later that she was at that party. He says he didn't meet her that night. But he did meet that girl he bumped into. So it can't be the girl he bumped into, as they met.

    Next theory????

  • @PaulMGreen2410 bumping into someone is not meeting someone .. .meeting someone is legit like talking to them not apoligizing for walking into them, nice try tho

  • Series finale-You dont have a mother kid,you have a father

  • just because the wife was in that class doesn't mean she was a student....I'm still saying it Stella! In the opening scene of Ted's 1st day as a prof there is a blonde with her style hair between two black guys... maybe I just really want it to be her but that's what I've seen.... and I haven't seen beyond season 4

  • to be honest, i doubt the producers have even created an actual mother for Ted's kids seeing as though that the show isn't exactly based on finding Ted's wife but more the actual idea of the sitcom - complication arises and characters resolve. Maybe eventually the producers will find a wife for Ted for when the show ends but not right now, HIMYM is at its peak of popularity and would probably go on for several seasons more.

  • @jackfreestone1 actually,they've already shot the series finale.....so i assume they have the wife

  • @johnkickass27 oh really? wow, so they already have it prepared for when the show ends?

  • @jackfreestone1 ya,because it involves the kids and they knew by the time theyd get to the finale they would already be adults

  • @johnkickass27 awesome

  • @johnkickass27 but won't that be a bit weird? because by the time the show ends, ted (josh radnor) will be a few years older and then in the final episode he'll look so much younger...?

  • @cobyflex they'd probably have makeup to make them seem older

  • @jackfreestone1 The show is based on the journey and growth of the characters leading up until he meets his wife. They have time. But, not a lot. The show has Ted talking to his kids in 2030, assuming his kids are 14 at the very youngest in these scenes that would make them born in 2016, meaning the wife has to be introduced by 2015 (no way is she a random hook up) and so.... 2.5 more seasons is all they have to work with before she has to be introduced for the show to make sense

  • it also said that the wife/mother was in his class and i swear i saw some1 that looked like her in the class cause i only just watched that episode again

  • does it actully say in the show because i have it on netflix?

    and i want to know!!!!!!\

  • bar girl..well maybe

    

  • @MrSavjr most likely

  • it might be possibly that it is Nora. Just because the mother is associated with yellow which Nora wore on the first episode she appeared in. She also said to barney she wanted two kids, a girl and a boy. I'm not sure if it is her but it might be

  • @aceofspades477 Nora actually said that she wanted 3 kids. Because Barney said he wanted 3 kids (one of each).

  • Didn't they say that she was at that really loud party? Cuz I think it was the girl taking everyone's jumpers

  • @DaKingOfStuff

    jumpers?

  • @DaKingOfStuff Ted even said that she wasn't the mother. Plus, he MET her at Barney's wedding.

  • Perhaps the kids are really elusions making people watch the show so that the FBI can steal their faces while they look at the tv

  • i liked the evidence that u gave us but the song was a horrible choice

  • this is not the mother,it looks like the waitress Wends from MCLarens Pub !!

  • Kids to be honest i never met your mother , you are adopted

  • no offence but ur wrong that girl from the begging had no tits and the mom has bigvtits look at the daughter and stella moves to colorado or some place and ted probubly wont ever see her again and so the way he meets is wife will have nothing to do with stella and also ted meets the wife at barneys wedding and there for none of this has to do with stella.....but who knows the writers of this show are unpredictable........and thats why their legend...wait for it..........dary.... legendary

  • @XxyungsnakexX note the date of the upload.

  • @razingking o my bad i didnt even see the date

  • If you're right than this video shows Mischa Barton in the role of the mother.

    which is quiet funny knowing that she's playing the best friend of Rachel Bilson in 'how i met your mother'. Who knows the serie o.c.? Well these are the same actresses that played Summer and Marissa. So who ever this girl is that you showed us at the end is definitly not the mother because in that bumb-in-scene at the party is Mischa Barton. .. and i do think that there is a very good chance that she is the mother.

  • Comment removed

  • Its Barney's half sister. Why else would older Ted call Barney 'Uncle Barney'? Oh and he calls Robin 'Aunt Robin' so that also leads me to believe that Barney and Robin get married. But then again, doesn't he refer to Lily and Marshall as 'Aunt and Uncle' ?

  • @Moon27 There close friends. That is what close friends do.

  • - Ted says that i found out years later that "the mother" was at that party, but he also says that he didn´t meet her.

    - the reason the meeting with stella resulted in meeting the mother, is because Ted became a teacher, and "the mother" was a student (in the episode where ted screws up, and goes in to the wrong classrom)

    Also, "the mother" is Barneys halfsister

  • @seqern so some how....barney and ted and robin(if barney marries robin...I HOPE) might be related?? that weird but coool!!! weird+cool=weiol

  • the mother is Barney's stepsister.

  • play this with the youtube snow feature

  • MY THEORY!!:

    Rember the episode when barney is wiht his real dad in the bar and his dad starts to brang about his new family that goes like " This is my wife, Carol, My sone, JJ, MY DAUGHTER CARLY SHE IS IN COLLEGE NOW" Maybe this is the same "Carly" who was at the saint pattys bar. Also Ted said that he met his wife at BARNEYS WEDDING so u best beileve that his father is going to be there any maybe CARLY will be there and ted sees her in the crowd since barneys dad will be there. LAYERED!!

  • @AshleyIEziama N ALSO SHE WAS MAYBE IN TEDS ECON CLASS THAT HE THOUGHT WAS HIS CLASS BUT IT WASNT!!!! OH N *LAWYERED!!

  • i think ur right

  • @AshleyIEziama layered?

  • @zzzaaa09900 lol i meant lawyered :P this is what happens when i type fast

  • yea.. but.. ted says that he doesnt met the mother at the party.. but in this video he mets the mother.. or saw her. right?

  • Comment removed

  • The mother could be Barney's half sister Carly. She hasn't made any appearances yet and we know that she's in college (ted's first class) and Carly being barney's half sister, she would be at his wedding, where she would meet ted!

  • @TheBlackbeltGorilla which episode \ season did Barney's half sister appear ?

  • @RemiTa1st she has not been in any episodes yet. She was only mentioned in legendaddy. 

  • @TheBlackbeltGorilla actually i saw her...wait for it....feet!!! :) and she is cindy's roommate and maybe at the end ted will see @ barney's wedding that carly has the yellow umbrella!!! i cant wait to see her!!!

  • ted spots the mothers foot in girls vs suits and its tan just like the girl in the bar.

  • I don't know what to think about this theory. Sure, that moment was kinda off place and all, but if you compare the mother who enters the club with her yellow umbrella with that woman Ted bumped into, you will notice that they wear different kind of jeans. So either the staff is inconsistent about clothing, or that's not her at all. She also looks a bit too old, in my opinion.

  • "I found out years later that your mum was at that party- i just didn't meet her" so... he didn't bump into her then? and dark hair? it could be ANYONE... more likely to be an extra in the background.

  • I think so too. If you watch Season 5 episode 1 at the end when Barney and Robin leave to go have brunch a girl walks out of MacLaren's that looks just like the girl that girl from the bar on St Patty's day.

  • @irtyler89 YES! I noticed that too! And the whole episode is about right place at the right time.

  • @irtyler89 I totally agree, that episode sent me to youtube to see if it was the same girl!

  • 01:01 he says that he did not met her

  • Me and my friend also thought this was true before I saw this video. This is hardcore evidence, and I think this is true.

  • 83% it's not the mother! ;)

  • She can´t be the mother, because the mother of ted´s children has been in his college class once...

  • I thought that for a while, but i think it was too obvious.

  • i feel sorry for ted's kids. but i feel more sorry for myself! come on ted! tell me who the friggin hell is the motherrrrrrrrrrrrrr aSDFILSJRO before 2012 comeeeeees! sdafunkah lodaqASDFSDAFSa

  • Maybe the writers threw in that bump shot to just throw the audience off or even raise speculations like this one. After all word of mouth is still the most powerful form of propaganda.

  • Well i also think tHat your theory might be right , because of this bumping , why did the authors let ted bump into a girl without explaining After that , Maybe in a few Weeks we'll know

  • The mother is Barneys half sister.

  • series finale - kids, your adopted

  • @violetabaranausku If that happens, I'm disappointed D:

  • Shouldn't she be lighter skinned since the foot you see in "girls vs suits" is not really her skin color. But still good enough since the showed that bump for no apparent reason.

  • @ZaidC4 But remember that shot of BrittanySpears's head talking to lilly in two different episodes? very different hair. I dont think the creators are sticklers for specifics

  • I think the mother is Mary the Paralegal because Barney said she lives in his building and I think she would be at his wedding when Ted runs into her and apologizes for thinking she was a hooker and they hit it off!!!

  • @jahyazzy

    Not possible. We know that the mom lives with Cindy and we can be pretty sure that Cindy doesn't live in Barney's building.

  • Minor issue, the reason Ted seeing Stella was important is because she got him the job at the university and thats how he met Cindy his future wife's room mate so I think that's why meeting stella was important not that Stella introduced them.

  • Remember that shes in the classroom where Ted first starts teaching, so i think she is to young to bed stellas friend

  • Hello. I remember in one of the episodes Ted goes out with a girl and comes to her apartment where he picks out three things in her bedroom that he loves and belongs to his girlfriends room mate. And then at the end of the episode he says to his kids that girls room mate is your mother. (Sorry if the way I put it is hard to understand.) But I dont know what episode it is :(. Hope I helped and good luck!xx

  • Dude, he said "I found out years later your mom was at that party... I just didn't meet her". Bumping is not meeting, but I like your theory. Also, if that is Ted's wife... Man, he's a lucky dog, that girl is pretty.

  • wait there mother always looked like she had blonde hair to me. I always assumed that the kids took after ted. However those are interesting points.

  • obviously ted's wife is lily

  • found the mom on google xD

  • heres a theory ive found

    so ted says the wife was in his college class. when barney finds his real dad jerome he mentions that his daughter is in college. also ted mentions that robin is an important part of the story of meeting his wife. is it possible that ted meets barneys sister at robin and barneys wedding?

  • @frank1738rhcp Exactlyy!!!

  • @frank1738rhcp I think so too :)

  • It think it is robin or Lilly

  • @powerwell19

    It definitely can't be Robin, in early episodes he says "and that was the story of how I met your Aunt Robin"

  • I think she is...'Cause maybe when he does "meet" her they will flashback to the party!

  • Look what i've found at Wikipedia "Muirbrook appeared in an episode of the US sitcom How I Met Your Mother and some have theorized that she will eventually play Ted Mosby's Future Wife."

  • He would've said that was the first time I saw your mother it isn't how I met your mother again. Its not her its someone that hasn't been in the episode

  • I was theorizing this to. Im 76% sure its her

  • has it occurred to any of you that this girl was put in this episode on purpose so that we would think she's the mother when in fact she's just a decoy?

  • it's not her, because if she is, she's roughly the same age as him...AND according to season 5 episode 1 "the mom" was in ted's class while he was a professor...does that seem logical? just asking...and BTW we never did found out what happened to the so called "perfect girl" from love solutions, any opinions on that?

  • @monobrowish that perfect girl IS the mother.guess he just decided to take the long way to meet her. 7 DAMN YEARS! DAMN YOU TED!

  • @monobrowish shes a really pretty actress :)

  • I don't think it's her, because we know that The Mother is Cindy's room-mate. And we've seen The Mother's ankles, and they had a lot brighter skin tone than this girl do.

  • i think the mother is barney's half sister. barney's dad said she is in college and we know ted said she was in his class. only thing is that her name is carly and in season 1 ted tricked his kids and told them that he met a stripper by the name of tracy and then went " and that is how i met your mother" so her name is tracey. idk maybe im just nitpicking but im curious to see how this unfolds

  • Bumping into someone =/= meeting someone.

    If you bumped into some random person at the mall (today) it's not like you've 'met' them.

  • ted's wife is going to land up being barney's half sister (from his dad's other marriage) she is in college, and she will probably be at barney's wedding

  • This song is gayer than Ted.

  • i got the same theory.

  • THIS IS ABOUT THE SLAP BET NOT MOM!

    So Theres gonna be a slap pretty soon.

    Okay! So if you go to the slap countdown site it says 9 days (i wrote this 11/12) and that would mean it's on the 11/21 and also this coming up episode is called Tick Tick Tick...thats rather self explanatory!! Woooo! SLAPSGIVING WILL PREVAIL!

  • i really want the mother to be Zooey Deschanel

  • @SausageDogss what?

  • I know WHO is playing the mother, and WHO she is....but I'm a little confused that Ted's wife is in a class, which Ted is in...I have to check this thing up..

  • Damn I cant now say that I created this theory too in paralel cuz I have no way to prove it but at least I can see this idea came from two or more indepeded sources. I was also asking why did they put in the random encounter in the bar. But Im afraid the more we speak about it the more is a chance the makesr will denounce this theory just to keeep us not knowing. So dont spread this theory that much

  • Ted also says " I just did'nt met her that nigth" Witch mean, He did'nt meet her at all.

  • really could've done without the music

  • this might be true, remember that almost everything that happens in tv happens for a reason

  • i dont really remember but i guess ted told him children that "i didnt met your mother at this night " i mean if ted bumbed into her ,they had have kinda met . am i right ??

  • is it just me, or do you think barney actually marries robin when it gets round to the actual wedding....

  • @chormeholmes oooh most definately!! if he doesn't then i'll eat my hat!!

  • It's a good theory, but I don't think Stella has any more significance to Ted meeting his future wife than the encounter on the street when Ted has the yellow umbrella. "Future Ted" explains to his kids in the final scene of the season 4 finale, while they're all taking a leap from the roof across the alley. If he hadn't met Stella on that street, he would never have fixed her relationship with Tony. Tony wouldn't have gotten him the prof job. And that eventually leads him to meet their mom.

  • No wrong TONY Stella's husband gave Ted the teaching job.First day at work he entered the wrong class and Ted's wife was there.In the clip Ted once again met Stella and said his life will never change if he didn't met Stella that day

  • I agree i think its her too. Makes sense he bumps into her randomly during walks. And the yellow umbrella was her umbrella always used.

  • She isn´t the mother. In the article at weblogs .variety. com / season_pass/2008/11/how-i-met-­your. html the writer gives three hints. He said The Mother is definitely someone we’ve already met on the show in Season 3, the actress’s initials are “B.S.” and in real life she is the most famous pop star in the world.

    It´s obvious she is Britney Spears who plays Abby in season 3.

  • There is also that episode where Ted is teaching and he sais "your mother was in that class". have you tried to spot her out of the crowd?

  • you cant go by clips especially since bob saget, the old ted, is an unreliable narrator. Also the ways gene work since ted has black hair, the wife does not need to have black hair

  • You have way too much time on your hands! Mind you so do I since I'm watching this ridiculous video with awful generic music played over the top. Chances are the writers haven't got a clue yet who the mother is yet and will work something in as and when the need arises...a bit like Lost but not quite as desperate.

  • This is definitivle the Mother. I thought about the Same Theory while Watching HIMYM. believe me. She is

  • In an interview with the creators they said that they hadnt even cast the actress to play the mother yet...soo if it is here then even the writers dont know it. :/

  • what episode was that very short clip of ted hugging a clown doing the weather news?

  • I think it's possible, but I suspect its a red herring to throw the viewers off. Or maybe the mother was a girl in the background of that bump scene, or the bumped girl was a friend of the mother's, or something. I dunno, it seems a bit too obvious.

  • that's awesome! i have the same theory about who the mother might be! but i also thought about what hejmycket said: "they need clips like these to show how he met their mother. it might be a "just in case" clip". and in my opinion is the best clip.

  • slutty pumpkin

  • Comment removed

  • I just happen to know the name of Teds wife. I know the producer, he has a lake house in Plitvice, Croatia. Neighbor of my aunt who lives in Plitvice where i spend all my summers. Sorry I can't tell you, but be prepared :)

  • You really think itd be that simple. Theyll have put her in that shot where ted bumped into the woman, in the background or something, but this woman he bumbed into was just a casual accident. You are idiots if you think a TV show that everyone asks a question about would simply say that a woman he bumps into is the mom cos itd be much more subtle. The show did that to make u think it.

  • it is very possible that she is the mother. However, it may be that they must have clips like these. The show could be closed earlier than expected and therefore they need clips like these to show how he met their mother. it might be a "just in case" clip. but what do I know ...

  • actually i think your on to something its plus when they next meet ted can refere to her as the girl he bumped into on st.patricks day!! :O plus she looks like shes in college

  • i have the eact same theory. now i watch this i believe!

  • The pictures of the mystery woman have the face blurred...because it's THAT woman!

    Barney's marrying Robin...when they first broke up, future Ted says in the episode "They just needed some time apart," or something to that effect. He's implying they got back together!

    The coveted 5th slap will be reserved for this occasion.

  • What is...if...Robin is Teds wife at the end and he just said "aunt" Robin to his Kid´s cause Robin is there stepmother so... Ted have Kids with the brunette wife but anything is happened and the kids dont know there mum so... this is MY theory if u know what I mean ;)

  • @TheL4r5 I always thought the exact same thing haha

  • @TheL4r5

    Haha, it would be funny, but I highly doubt it

  • I think it is her ... It just makes sense !!!

  • That girl is not his wife, that night was a St. Patrick's party. Yes he did say his future wife was there, but he did not run into her.

  • all of this might just tie in together, barney's sister, cindy's roommate, and this girl at st patty's day. if you look up a vid on youtube of joshua radnor and stella she says she knows who the mother is going to be

  • It could just be possible that the mom plays in the cover band at barney's wedding, she plays the bass guitar, remember you saw one in her room? I can imagine barney having a cover band like that. So its possible that the mom could be someone nobody else knows

  • I totally agree with this. I've been thinking she could be the Mother since i first saw the episode.

  • ummm..... really good theory.... but isn't bumbing into her like... kinda meeting her? sorta? kinda? i dunno.......

  • @peanutbieber314 No. Meeting someone is getting their names and introducing yourself. If you bump into someone in the street, you didn't meet them.

  • Barneys Half-Sister beeing Teds wife is the best theory.I think it is very possible,but I have two other theorys.1 They could just include a NEW character

    2.You remember the Slutty Pumpkin ?,she will be played by Katie Holmes and she could be the mother too.

  • And now I'm confusing myself :[. Sorry for so many comments, I just really want to figure this out with fellow fans. So I went back to S4E22, where he re-meets Stella by the news stand with his yellow umbrella. And he tells the kid's that Stella is their mother.... "If I was just a minute late at that stand on that day, I wouldn't have met your mother there"... Clearly he met no other woman that day at that place that was shown in the episode.... Help me out guys >_<

  • @MagnaThor no, he's talking about the events that day that would further lead him into meeting their mother

  • If my information is correct mother is Anne Hathaway , and Ted will meet her at some costume party in this season.

  • The thing is, not only does 2030 Ted address Barney as an uncle, but also Lily and Marshall as aunt and uncle, as well as Robin. Just doesn't make sense.

  • @MagnaThor they just call each other that because them as the 5 might as well be brothers and sisters because of how close they are..

  • @DunanaCynthiaSophia Good point, but there really could mean something behind it.

  • ATTENTION PEOPLE: Season 1, episode 7 "Matchmaker": the girl adresses 2030 Ted as "dad".

  • @CopicNerdGirl ...if my theory was correct (which its not cuz he has met nora) then him referring to robin as aunt robin would support my theory cause my theory was he was talking to barney's kids...which is obviously wrong

  • All these comments are dumb, watch the show and pay attention, he's talking to his own kids you'd realize that if you payed attention to the dialogue from the beginning, Nora is not the mother and Barney doesn't marry Nora either

  • Ummm WRONG!!!!

  • I can see the theory of him talking to barneys and noras kids but that would mean that Nora had to have gone to teds uni in economics class so what's the dealio?

  • THE MOTHER IS NORA...FUTURE TED ISNT TALKING TO HIS KIDS...HE'S TALKING TO BARNEY AND NORA'S KIDS ...HE HASNT MET NORA YET SO HE PROBABLY MEETS HER AND HER AND BARNEYS WEDDING. TED HIMSELF IS GOING TO END UP WITH ROBIN, WHY ELSE WOULD THE FIRST EVER EPISODE START WITH HIM MEETING ROBIN.

  • @ShadyPoetryRx we have to know that this serie its about how everything that happens in your life, make difference in the future, so maybe robin is part of the big chain of destiny, sorry my english is bad
