'How I Met Your Mother,' teaching life lessons until the very end

There's a Season 2 episode of "How I Met Your Mother" in which the characters -- Ted, Marshall, Lily, Robin and Barney -- are guilt-tripped into attending a funeral on Super Bowl Sunday. They DVR the game and try to get through Monday with the result unspoiled so they can all watch together that night; naturally, the plan goes awry as they all find out what happened in an appropriately wacky way.
