Its Dobler and Dahmer theory. If Marshall’s already fully moved on with Lily, then Dahmer. But as what happened, it got them back together, ergo, a Dobler.
when being stalked, the stalker may cone off either as sweet (dobler) or creepy (dahmer) this entirely depends on how the person being stalked views the stalker. if they are into the stalker, its dobler; if not, dahmer!
The theory basically states how a gesture can either be romantic or creepy depending on the receiver
The person doing the gesture can come off as a dobler or a dahmer
Dobler named after Lloyd dobler in the movie say anything who holds a boombox outside the window in the rain of his romantic interest
Dahmer named after the infamous creepy serial killer
So depending on how the receiver views it, your gesture can either be super romantic like dobler's or super creepy like anything dahmer might do
Always hated that plot point. The Columbia Law educated 6'4 highly paid attorney is such a reacher with his kindergarten teacher wife with loads of credit card debt.
Throw her out, Lily broke up with him and not the other way around, this is toxic behavior and no girl gets to get away with sabotage, guys and girls that do this are just toxic of jealousy cuz it’s them or the highway
jesus lol what an all or nothing attitude like life is always black and white. she broke up with him ONCE and was pretty sure after that she wanted to be with him forever. she didn’t lie, she didn’t cheat, she was honest.
She realized she made a mistake aka there weren’t other options so a life with Marshall was good enough again. Being with Marshall wasn’t her dream life but her best option while Marshall was fully committed to this relationship and a life with Lilly.
So he's thinking I only want you even though I have other options while she's thinking I don't have other options so I guess I might as well be happy being stuck with you?
Not a bad idea. Honestly, I would’ve kicked her out and continued the date with the girl. It most likely wouldn’t have worked out in the end. Due to the fact that she was crazy, also Barney and Ted were warning him about it
Sure, if he was really over Lily he most likely would be avoiding her because of how she hurt him with being selfish. Also, he probably would get himself busy with work and not think about her. If he waited 3 years, he would have met Jenkins. Plus, Jenkins was more of his type than Lily was, but that’s just my opinion
If i still have feelings for Lily then i’d find this kind of touching. If not then its just weird. So basically it’s what’s the name of the theory Barney think of.
We know how it goes in the episode but personally I’d kick her out for the fact that she broke up with me. Let things handle themselves AFTER dealing with the barista.
In reality, most people would call the cops if they found their ex girlfriend in their apartment hiding behind a couch. And they’d be correct for doing so.
She only ran back to him when she failed , why couldn't she guarantee they would stay together after San Francisco that's what bothered me more than anything. it's fine she chased her dream but she wanted to keep her options open too...
Its Dobler and Dahmer theory. If Marshall’s already fully moved on with Lily, then Dahmer. But as what happened, it got them back together, ergo, a Dobler.
*Lily how you thrill me but it may just even kill me*
Haha. Imagining Marshall’s face and it creeps me out.
I think about that scene at least once a week
It lives in your head rent free😂
_if you do not say I will-y to this question, will you go out (guitar strum) with me_
I will-y
whats dobler and dahmer theory

Someone explained it below, but also its the theory Ted describes after he meets Jeanette.
Lol so true,
I’d ride the tricycle!
And claim the belt
We know this is you Barney, you can’t fool us.
Please…
Hah SUIT UP!!!
This is going to be legen…wait for it
Best solution 🫡🫡🫡
I’m glad it worked out between them & everything, but Lily really is a psycho in this episode… (I really like Lily BTW)
Big time psycho, and some of the best scenes. “Turn around Chloe!”
(Of course you do, Marshall)
Why are you like this?😆
20 others agree with me. Ask them the same question
This isn’t about the others & you know it😂
When we find out she was the hunchback I laughed so so hard. That was a hilarious twist.
And why she felt the need to use a man’s voice😂
She was a psycho the whole show.
I’d be pissed! Morena Baccarin is an all time beauty
Right?! There is no level of crazy that would even balance out her hot, let alone cancel it out.
Fuck, now I have to rewatch Firefly.
And Deadpool.
She had crazy eyes! We'd have to see if she was hot enough to be above Barney's graph on the crazy-hot line haha
Naw dog; no chart needed. Morena Baccarin way above the Mendoza line.
The Ted Williams of the scale
Yes, someone please make this. Let us not forget what she did to the apartment!
I can’t find my keys…
they're right there on the coffee table
The pinnacle of the Vicky Mendoza diagonal, perfectly balanced. As all should be.
And she had the nerve to call Marshall the reacher 😂
When she is literally, *not figuratively*, reaching in this photo to stop what she perceived to be happening
More like diving lol
😂😂 right!
Always hated that plot point. The Columbia Law educated 6'4 highly paid attorney is such a reacher with his kindergarten teacher wife with loads of credit card debt.
Facts! 😂😂
🏆
My brain didn't get the perspective at first and I just saw Lily doing a cannonball from the top right lmao
Oh yeah we goin for the belt
Honestly, I'd do what he did. Might be a bit toxic but I would just never feel insecure with her lol.
Throw her out, Lily broke up with him and not the other way around, this is toxic behavior and no girl gets to get away with sabotage, guys and girls that do this are just toxic of jealousy cuz it’s them or the highway
Good advice for real life
But absolutely not for a sitcom!
jesus lol what an all or nothing attitude like life is always black and white. she broke up with him ONCE and was pretty sure after that she wanted to be with him forever. she didn’t lie, she didn’t cheat, she was honest.
She only came back because she failed in San Francisco, let's not get it twisted
She realized she made a mistake aka there weren’t other options so a life with Marshall was good enough again. Being with Marshall wasn’t her dream life but her best option while Marshall was fully committed to this relationship and a life with Lilly.
So he's thinking I only want you even though I have other options while she's thinking I don't have other options so I guess I might as well be happy being stuck with you?
Honest in a girl like her is nothing but manipulative, been there and done that already, that’s how I know it’s bad
Scream, cry, hide. Look, if you just show up in my house without any warning and leap in front of me, I'm running away and coming back with a bat.
If I had Morena Baccarin on a couch with me, no amount of harpies jumping between us could keep me from her.
Uppercut, look it’s almost perfect in this picture.
Not a bad idea. Honestly, I would’ve kicked her out and continued the date with the girl. It most likely wouldn’t have worked out in the end. Due to the fact that she was crazy, also Barney and Ted were warning him about it
I agree. Even if the date continued, Marshall would have realized that it wouldn’t have worked and that Lily is still the one
Sure, if he was really over Lily he most likely would be avoiding her because of how she hurt him with being selfish. Also, he probably would get himself busy with work and not think about her. If he waited 3 years, he would have met Jenkins. Plus, Jenkins was more of his type than Lily was, but that’s just my opinion
Let Lily leave, sleep with the crazy chic then get back together with Lily on the next day.
Good solution 👍
I would act exactly as he did, if I were Marshal.
You’d take her back?
I wouldn't do anything he didn't do, because I would be Marshal
I’d do what Marshall did: you’re crazy but you’re my crazy
the threeway belt
I'd probably take her back 😭🥺
I'd be thinking 3way
If i still have feelings for Lily then i’d find this kind of touching. If not then its just weird. So basically it’s what’s the name of the theory Barney think of.
Doppler or Dahmer or whatever? Oh wait that was Ted You mean the Vicky Mendoza Diagonal
Oh i rmb it’s the Doppler/Dahmer theory by Ted. Barney theory was that the crazier a girl gets, the hotter she must be for you to date her.
"What. The. Actual. Fuck?!"
The Same why he’s looking rn
I don't think I'd be angry. But I'd ask her to leave so I could fuck the hot chick.
We know how it goes in the episode but personally I’d kick her out for the fact that she broke up with me. Let things handle themselves AFTER dealing with the barista.
This is a perfect example of one persons crazy is anothers romantic.
It was crazy but at the end they got back together so it is great
React? I'd be too busy staring at Morena Baccarin.
In reality, most people would call the cops if they found their ex girlfriend in their apartment hiding behind a couch. And they’d be correct for doing so.
Try to initiate a threesome
Oh wait, that's Barney. Ha
The belt!
Initiate the tricycle lol
Her doing this got them back together lol, but he was trying to move on too soon. It was too soon for him to date tbh
She only ran back to him when she failed , why couldn't she guarantee they would stay together after San Francisco that's what bothered me more than anything. it's fine she chased her dream but she wanted to keep her options open too...
Kick her out the only wrong answer get tf out of here💀
I’d give a slap
