:The ensemble cast of How I Met Your Mother (2005–2014) serves as a social sounding board for myriad masculine performances. The spectrum of masculinities depicted in the show illuminates the ways in which a normative gender performance can be simultaneously maintained and subverted through popular media, even in the under-scrutinized sitcom.
