In How I Met Your Mother season 8 episode 7, The Stamp Tramp, the gang approaches the subject of charity work and finds unique ways of contributing to the community. First, Marshall comes up with the idea to volunteer at a homeless shelter, but they quickly realize that their lack of experience and improper judgment may have made things worse than better. Meanwhile, Barney tries to prove that he is still a ladies' man, even though he is now in a committed relationship with Robin. He takes up a challenge from a girl at the bar to get her number without using any of his old pick-up lines. His failure leads him to follow the advice of a homeless man named Greg (guest star Ray Wise), who has surprisingly effective techniques that work for Barney.

Ted is also in the charitable mood and decides to do something good for the environment by organizing a clean-up event in the park. However, he is soon distracted by a 'stamp tramp' named Curtis (guest star Cameron Frye), a man who goes around collecting rare and valuable stamps from people's mailboxes. Ted becomes obsessed with catching Curtis and bringing him to justice, even though it means missing out on his own good deeds. Meanwhile, Lily tries to balance her work and home life as she goes back to her job at the Captain's company. She finds it hard to concentrate on her work, given her new responsibilities as a mother. She ends up sending an inappropriate email to her colleagues and has to figure out how to fix it before it becomes a major issue.

The episode is filled with funny moments, such as when Marshall mistakenly cuts off a man's ponytail while trying to trim his hair at the homeless shelter. It also highlights the importance of giving back to the community and how even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life. The storylines for each character are well-balanced, and the guest stars are a welcome addition to the episode. Ray Wise's performance as the homeless man, Greg, is particularly memorable and adds a unique perspective to Barney's storyline.
