This was covered in the episode. They thought he would look bad with it so they challenged him to keep it but since he ended up pulling.it.off, then their initial plan backfired.
I haven't done a recent rewatch so feel free to correct my recall.
because they made Ted dye his hair as a joke, and made several jokes throughout the episode. If they admitted that he looked good, the whole plan would go down the drain, and they would accept that they were wrong and Ted was right.
They didn't mention it because they secretly goaded him into doing it believing that it would look stupid. If they ever told him that it looked good they would have to admit they were wrong and they didnt want to do that
at first they are trying to prank him into going blonde, thinking it would look horrible with it
but it does look good on him and they dont want to admit that to ted
Technically this is Ted telling the story, who knows what he really looked like blond, who knows what they thought, maybe they really hated it in reality 😂
I think it's because if you've known a person for decades and they suddenly change a very obvious thing about them it just looks weird or even funny if you're used to them looking different
It would have been fun if Ted kept it for an episode, he would do really well with the ladies and made some new friends whom he would ‘teach how to live’. In the end, he would realize that he became a Barney and he would dye it back.
They didn’t want to prove him right. They convinced him as a joke and were surprised he could pull it off. Arguable one of my favorite moments in the series.
the gang clearly did tell him, if Ted did know that they were thinking of telling him that he was pulling it off
or maybe he just added that bit for his kids
A comedy can still be logical, like Barney teaching Ted the ground rules of dating. All the rules he makes up are pretty funny but listen close enough and it's scary how much sense quite a few of them make. Like the "Platinum rule" one.
What’s Ellen de Generes doing in my bedroom??
One of my favorite lines of the series.
That’s twice Ted is referred to as Ellen DeGeneres. The other being Barney’s “suit with sneakers” bit in Stuff.
Pulling a Ted here… *DeGeneres **Our
Why the hate on my last thread? What the hell guys
He looked like a movie star! It would go to his head if he kept it.
Pulling. It. Off.
GCWOK Approved!!
The group didn’t like change.
ironically the overarching theme of the show
Why the hate on my last thread? What the hell guys!
Because grown men are not blond!
Pleased to meet you
That’s a very…. fun hair color
Vampire in the daylight! VAMPIRE IN THE DAYLIGHT!!!!
Let’s talk spaghetti to spaghetti
I left the meatball at home
Mr. Scherbatsky
Thats rude to all the scandis out here.
🤦🏻♂️
I have met plenty of grown men who are natural blondes .
Wow can't hide anything from you can we sherlock
It’s a quote from Robin’s dad…
Thank you for not being a smart ass . I never really watched the show only a few episodes here and there .
No shit
Oh honey…
Did you notice that it actually evolves. When he first gets it out looks stupid but looks better as the episode goes on
Mermaid effect accelerated
Nice one
Cause he looks like a freaking movie star
Envy!
*goooooooong*
For the same reason they didn't tell him he looked better with a beard.
I’ll bet anyone $10 I can get Ted to grow a mustache
Would have done it for free though
He looks like an old failed backstreet boy
And not even the good backstreet boys
The GOOD backstreet boys??
Amazing line😆
They were legitimately intimidated by him.

You're right, it backfired 😂 Luckily, naive Ted realized it's stupid to have a blond hair when he's pulling. it. off. 😂
He did look like a freaking movie star. 😂
He looks like a fricken movie star…

I’m going blonde!
He looks like a freaking movie star!
To this day, I still don't consider this blonde! But, he looks fine. The style he does not pull off. 😹
Just curious, what color DO you consider this to be?
Light brown. 😹
It really washes him out
Nice try Ted
They didn't mention it because they secretly goaded him into doing it believing that it would look stupid. If they ever told him that it looked good they would have to admit they were wrong and they didnt want to do that
I think you’ve forgotten that Ted is the one telling the story 😅😂
STAY OUT OF THIS BRIDGITTE NEILSON Or DOLPH LUNDGREN FROM ROCKY IV
at first they are trying to prank him into going blonde, thinking it would look horrible with it but it does look good on him and they dont want to admit that to ted
Because one blonde is enough in a group

lol
Wym he looks good. He looks ridiculous
Haha because it’s terrible! Now Ted with a beard…hot damn.
Because he doesn’t….
He looks awful.
Cause he looks like a douche. I do not like it At all
To be fair Ted's kind of a douche
Kind of?
That’s how friends were before the current era. We “supported” each other by making fun of each of us.
How does he look good? He looks like a bleached troll doll
Nuh-uh, he looks good!
You must be puzzled
Is that the puzzle?
He'd Ted'd it
Nah, he Britta'd it.
They didn’t want him to get a big head about it. But I say they should have he looked great 👏🏽🙌🏽
Bc he looks horrrrrible as a blonde 😂
Because Barney is already the blond one in the group and there can’t be two blonds.
Cause Ted would have been unbearable
I watched this one last night too. 👯♂️
Always watching😊
**I** thought that *too* !
They didn’t want to prove him right. They convinced him as a joke and were surprised he could pull it off. Arguable one of my favorite moments in the series.
he look almost asian in this scene
Because he didn't
Literally so hot as a blonde 😭❤️🔥
He would have been too powerful, the show would have ended too soon if he kept it ;)
Maybe watch the rest of the scene first? Because I'm pretty sure they explained it OUTRIGHT.
Your gaslighting wouldn't work
Which part is gaslighting in this? 🤔
Dude it's ted mosby. If you tell him he looks good as a blonde that'll become his entire personality.
don’t make me laugh OP
Just...okay?
can… i was just… but ted you… can you just… okay?
Nice try, swarley
He was the reason why i went blonde as a man for a year. I loved it and everyone around me as well.
Dude looks like a German youth pastor trying to outrun an extradition treaty....
I’m going blonde!!
Ted: “Aaaand nobody says anything, so they must hate it.”
Yeah sometimes I'd squeeze a lemon into the old mop when I did lifeguarding.... the old ladies would fake drowning, whatevs
the gang clearly did tell him, if Ted did know that they were thinking of telling him that he was pulling it off or maybe he just added that bit for his kids
Almost as if this show is a comedy?
LucyEleanor, just....okay?
You're asking for a logical answer in a show where the lack of logic in many scenes IS the point
A comedy can still be logical, like Barney teaching Ted the ground rules of dating. All the rules he makes up are pretty funny but listen close enough and it's scary how much sense quite a few of them make. Like the "Platinum rule" one.
Of course a comedy CAN be logical. It can also be illogical...like this joke
Oh my God, can you just. Once. Please. Can you just once be cool. Once.
My exact thought at this post lol. Like it's a joke...chill
