[[WMG: Lily is actually bad at manipulating people.]]
Ted and Robin breaking up is Lily's most manipulative moment in the show, but the actual breakup was caused by Robin reacting so badly to a proposal that they couldn't ignore their incompatability. Even the lines Lily fed to the pair were said wrong, with Robin saying Argentina before any of the places Lily suggested. But if Ted's telling the story of how him and Robin belong together, then surely they can't have broken up for a reason like that, right? It must just be because of how manipulative Lily is.

[[WMG: Barney Stinson, [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Doctor Horrible]], [[WesternAnimation/StaticShock Johnny Morrow]], [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold The Music Meister]], [[Series/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents2017 Count Olaf]] and [[Series/DoctorWho The Celestial Toymaker]] are all the same person.]]
[[LostInCharacter He's not sure which one he really is anymore.]] He doesn't know how old he is or what species he's from, if his super powers are real, [[MagicFromTechnology if they come from his inventions]] or if he's just that good a magician. It's possible all these characters are from Barney's playbook, or roles Count Olaf assumed as part of his schemes, maybe Johnny Morrow duplicated himself so many times they started taking on identities of their own or they could all be different games The Toymaker's playing with people, different civilian identities of Doctor Horrible, maybe it's all just an excuse to perform a bunch of elaborate musical numbers. It's equally likely none of them are real and the true identity of the person playing all these roles has been lost to time. He might have an actual doctorate but if so [[Series/DoogieHowserMD he got it years ago]] and hasn't really used it in a while, [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryFreakShow or maybe he's just a magician with severe schizophrenia]], he could be [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague a boy who was horrifically muted by a nuclear bomb creating new realities for himself with his telepathic powers]] but most likely of all he's [[Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhitecastle a washed-up child actor, inventing tons of different characters while trying to meet women]].
