Line 3:
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** Recently featured Barney, played by Neil Patrick Harris, typing up a blog entry--The ''[[Doogie Howser, M.D.]]'' theme plays while he types. In a later episode he comments that "Child actors were just better in the 80's" (''[[Doogie Howser, M.D.]]'' again). In fact, it seems we have a diehard Doogie fan. In a Season 5 episode, NPH shows up in scrubs. The season seven episode "No pressure" has Barney compare Lily and Marshall to preppy kids who stage and bet on hobo fights. NPH was a preppy kid who staged and bet on hobo fights on ''Boomtown''.
** Another one is with [[Alyson Hannigan]]'s character. When having cold feet before her marriage, one of the items on the list of experiences to have is a big lesbian experience. Her most famous role is lesbian witch Willow from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Her favorite name for her baby: Tara (Willow's girlfriend from ''Buffy'').
** At the end of Ten Sessions, the tattoo removal doctor tells Ted to call her if he ever ends up with a dolphin tattoo on his right ankle, which is coincidentally the tattoo that Alyson Hannigan has in real life.
** Season 3, "Wait for It": When Ted is making out with Mandy Moore's character at the bar, her song "Nothing That You Are" is playing in the background.
Line 39:
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: "Hey, wasn't [[Doogie Howser, M.D.|that blond guy-?]]" "Heh, please..." "-[[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Dr. Horrible?]]"
** Lily used to be a [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|teenaged witch]] (with an evil vampire doppelganger) with a penchant for doing things at [[American Pie|band camp]].
** Making it doubly funny is how Willow mused whether anyone read ''[[Doogie Howser, M.D.]]'' fanfic. [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Weeeeeellllllllllll......]]
** Hey, [[Baldur's Gate|Sarevok]]/[[Knights of the Old Republic|Jolee Bindo]] is Stan the security guard?
** [[Angel|Wesley Windham-Pryce]] is a news reporter? [[Angel|Fred]] is one of Barney's conquests?
Line 54:
** Ted's kids are [[Wizards of Waverly Place|Justin Russo]] and [[Desperate Housewives|Dylan Mayfair.]]
** In the second episode, [[Leverage|Parker]] gatecrashes Ted's party -- probably scoping the joint. Barney even helpfully shows her the roof.
** "The Pineapple Incident" OMG! Ted slept with [[The Wonder Years|Winnie Cooper]]! And they had a threeway with Kacey from ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]''.
*** Who is also Laurie from ''Cougar Town''
*** You mean [[Freaks and Geeks|Kim Kelly]]?
Line 79:
** [[Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman|Dr. Quinn]] teaches law now?
** [[Watchmen|Silk Spectre II]] played Stella in "The Wedding Bride".
*** ''The Wedding Bride'' is an interesting example, because the actors of the movie (Jason Lewis, Malin Akerman, and Chris Kattan) were actually supposed to ''be'' those actors. Meaning this would've possibly been a [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]'sThatGuy in-universe as well.
** Zoey is married to [[Twin Peaks|Special Agent Dale Cooper]]/[[Sex and the City|Trey MacDougal]]/[[Desperate Housewives|Orson Hodge]]?
** Anyone else freak out when Barney opened his door and [[Dexter|Trinity]] was there?
