Episode Quotes

Barney Stinson: I've got five tickets to Robots vs. Wrestlers!
Ted Mosby: That is awesome!
Barney Stinson: You've heard of Robots vs. Wrestlers?
Marshall Eriksen: Not at all!
Ted Mosby: But we're assuming it's some sort of sporting event putting robots... against wrestlers!
Barney Stinson: That's exactly what it is!

Marshall Eriksen: So, funny thing about Willem Dafoe. His name sounds like it's being spoken by a frog, then a parrot. [Demonstrates this] Willem. DA-FOE! Willem. DA-FOE!

Trivia

The effetely off-color "Constance Frye" song that Will Shortz, Ted (Josh Radnor), Jefferson Van Smoot (Michael York) and Peter Bogdanovich sing at the party is from Trading Places, in which it is sung by Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd) and his rich, insufferable friends.
Barney's rule to Lily and Marshall about not loving the baby more than him is also what Jeremy Sisto's character tells Keri Russell's character in Waitress, which also features Darby Stanchfield.
