Barney Stinson: Can't talk my way out of a speeding ticket? Can't talk my way out of a speeding ticket? I am Barney Stinson, master of manipulation. If I can talk a stripper to pay me for a lap dance, I can talk my way out of a speeding ticket. Challenge accep... wait for it... [Points at Ted]

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Barney tries to talk his way out of a ticket, speeding on purpose while driving pretty aggressively. In fact, Barney can't even drive a car and is scared of going to fast, as established in episode #2.17.
CHAR: Barney is seen driving many times and getting speeding tickets, yet according to the episode "How I Met Your Mother" (2005) {Arrivederci, Fiero (#2.17)}, Barney never learned how to drive because he's too scared.
CONT: In 2.17 "Arrivederci, Fiero," the audience learns that Barney cannot drive. In 4.23 "As Fast as She Can," a major subplot revolves around Barney's attempts to talk his way out of speeding tickets, and several sequences suggest that Barney is an experienced driver.

TRIVIA

The character name Richard Greenleaf is an allusion to the character Dickie Greenleaf in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
Ted has Robin's song "Let's go to the mall" as a ring tone.
