"World's Greatest Couple" is the fifth episode in the second season of the television series How I Met Your Mother. It originally aired on October 16, 2006.
The episode starts with Barney and Lily in a bed, shocked to see each other. Future Ted starts narrating the events that led to that particular moment. Ted and Robin go to Lily's new apartment to bring her a housewarming gift, and they see that the apartment is very small and in poor condition. To top that, she is having to share it with a raccoon. One night, when Lily is preparing to sleep, part of a wall of her apartment comes off when she pulls her bed down from the wall.
Meanwhile, Marshall, who is having a hard time coping with being single, starts hanging out with his friend Brad (Joe Manganiello), who is also recently single. Ted and Robin start making fun of him and point out that they are behaving like a couple in a relationship. Marshall initially ignores them, but later while dining with Brad, he becomes embarrassed after seeing how Brad is treating him. When Ted and Robin learn that Brad has invited him to a wedding in Vermont, they ridicule him again.
Lily decides to live temporarily with one of her friends, but Ted cannot let her live with him, since Marshall is living with him now. Robin cannot let her in either, since Lily is allergic to dogs. They ask Barney to let Lily live with him, and Barney refuses outright. Ted succeeds in sneaking Lily in Barney's apartment by giving her a spare key. After some initial reluctance, he agrees to let Lily stay for two days, as long as she doesn't try to change anything.
