    • In the beginning of this episode Lily and Marshall are entertaining guests in their new apartment, which was supposed to take place in 2007. Lily and Marshall did actually buy that apartment in November 2007 in "Dowisetrepla", but because of the crooked floor they discovered in "No Tomorrow" in March 2008, they couldn't move in for months later.
    • The calendar in Marshall's video has October 14 and 15 twice, while there are no October 11 and 12.
    • In the scene where Ted is sitting at the table having breakfast and watching videos Marshall has published online, he is holding the spoon in one hand, but that hand appears next to the computer when there's a close-up of the laptop screen.

    • Ted: Chicks dig the professor look.
      Robin: There's something to that. I remember thinking my 10th grade math teacher was really hot. I wonder if Harold's still in jail. (everyone stares at her) What? Tax evasion. Among other things.
    • Barney: Ah, tweed. Fabric of the eunach. Lily: I've always wondered why tweed jackets have those elbow pads? Barney: That's because people who wear tweed are always going (puts elbows on table) Aw, gee. When will I get laid?
    • Ted: Barney, are you wearing sweatpants? Barney: Maybe. But they're Armani!
    • Lily: What about you, forgetting to check the egg time for charades? I gave you one thing to do, Marshall! One thing! Marshall: One thing? I suppose that Gouda just marched itself through the door, sliced itself up, and arranged itself around not three, not four, but five sturdy cheese-bearing crackers. Lily: You're a sturdy cheese-bearing cracker!
    • Lily: How do we know you two won't hurt us again? Robin: You don't. Lily: Damn it! Why is there something so attractive about a bad boy? And girl. Marshall: I think we can change them!
    • Barney: We're sorry we haven't been returning your calls, and we respect you too much to give you the old song-and-dance, so here's the truth. The US Navy has found intelligent life at the bottom of the ocean, and for reasons too complicated to explain, Robin and I have been chosen to lead the expedition. Lily: Wow, Barney. That kind of sounds like a line you give your dates when you're too much of a coward to dump them. Marshall: That's exactly what it sounds like. But if it's true, that would be awesome.
    • Barney: Maybe we can call that weird couple down the hall from me. With the ferrets. Maybe they'll want to come over and play Taboo. Robin: It's after midnight. We can't Taboo-ty call them, it'd be pathetic.
    • Ted: T'was the night before, I had hours to kill. I sat in the tavern, grading parchments with quill. Barney: With quill? Ted: Barney, it's a poem. A busty, young lassie flashed me a grin. Her garb said "classy," but her eyes whispered "sin." She said, "you're a teacher?" I said, "yes, indeed." "I must have you," she moaned. "I'm turned on by tweed." With haste we did scamper to my chamber anon. We fell to the couch, and, bro, it was on. I unlaced her bodice. Our passions grew deeper. And thus ends the tale of the sexless innkeeper.
    • Barney: T'was the night before New Year's, and the weather grew mean. It was 3:00 in the morning, and I was stranded in Queens. The tavern grew empty, The gas lights grew dim. The horse-drawn carriages were all but snowed in... Ted: Wait, if this was last year, why are you acting like it was Oliver Twist? Barney: Ted, it's a poem. Last call was approaching, And my fortunes looked bleak. Then I turned to my left and stifled a shriek. She had a peach fuzz beard and weighed 16 stone. She gobbled up hot wings and swallowed the bones. I muffled a scream and threw up in my mouth. I asked, "Where do you live?" and she said, "One block south." I swallowed my pride and six shots of whiskey. And prayed to the gods that she wasn't too frisky. Back in her cave, she prepared us a snack. 'Neath her mighty hooves, the floorboards did crack. But when she returned, She found a sound sleeper. And thus she became the sexless innkeeper. And so are you.
    • Ted: How was the couples night? Barney: Brutal. Ted: How? Barney: It was like we were on a date with a sad chubby girl our mom made us call.
    • Lily: Hey, guys, good news. First of all, you can ignore all the e-mails and texts we've sent you. Robin: We have. Go on.
