• Every episode of this series has great laughs; but the climax of this episode, in which Penny inadvertently gives Sheldon the perfect gift, left me literally rolling on the floor with laughter. --Davidscarter 15:50, 20 February 2009 (EST)

• I loved watching the Gary and Allison try to act like a married couple again for a friend's wedding-vow renewal ceremony and eventually coming clean with their divorce, which turns into a reveal that all of their friends have problems with their marriages.--HuskersRule 02:22, 6 March 2009 (EST)

• One of the funniest episodes of the series with the gang's flashbacks on going overboard with interventions and giving their thoughts on Ted's impending marriage to Stella.--HuskersRule 02:22, 6 March 2009 (EST)

• Originally titled "Vote for This and I Promise to Do Something Crazy at the Emmys" but changed at the last minute which in and of itself almost deserves to get it nominated. However the episode was really good and deserves to get nominated on its content as well as its title. The plot involves Earl totally messing up his parents' marriage while trying to clear a list item and it has some really hilarious bits involving Earl's dad. --The-jam 17:54, 19 February 2009 (EST)
