How I Met Your Mother/Trivia: Difference between revisions

** In the episode Atlantic City, [[Bones|Caroline Julian]] and [[Scrubs|Gooch]] bring up obstacles in the way of Lily and Marshall's quickie wedding, followed by a [[Married At Sea|near-miss ceremony]] officiated by boat captain [[Heroes (TV series)|Eli]].

** In "Blitzgiving", [[Lost|Hurley]] shows up as the titular "The Blitz" character (real name: Steve), complete with [[Actor Allusion]] / [[Shout-Out]]:

*** Even better: the numbers he shouts out for the prank text? 4 8 15 16 23 42

**** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: This is actually Ted making a subtle joke to his kids, because having watched [[Lost]] he knows his friend Steve looks like the guy who played Hurley.

** The McLaren's bartender gets the entire bar to [[Cheers|shout "SWARLEY!"]] when [[Running Gag|Barney, er, Swarley]] walks in at the end of "Swarley". The closing credits use the same font as ''Cheers''.

** Ted describes the scene of Lily and Marshall fighting and finishes with putting his sunglasses on in a very [[CSI: Miami|David Caruso]] way.

** In "Unfinished", Marshall has an entire elaborate ''[[Star Wars]]'' analogy for GNB and Ted being like "the guy who built the Death Star". Not designing it with any ventilation shafts and clearly marking all the trash compactors on the detention level...

** At one point in the song on tedmosbyisajerk.com, Barney-as-Ted is accused of being a [[Battlestar Galactica|Cylon]].

** "Baby Talk" features one to the [[Pearl Jam]] song Jeremy in the form of Lily putting her hands up and shouting "JEREMY! NO!" before being covered in red paint.

* In ''The Leap'' we get the full story of the goat Lily rescued.

* Then there was the time a kid was running rampant in Lily's class with a toy horse. She admits that she's a psycho when she reveals that during nap time, [[The Godfather|she cut off the horse's head and placed it in his bed.]]

** In order to argue against moving a story of Barney wanting to leave GNB is brought up, where he notices a fire house for sale. He asks someone for a phone, who turns out to be Ernie Hudson, who asks, [[Ghostbusters|Who ya gonna call?]]
