all the best Easter eggs from How I Met
Your Mother
number 10 time remains the same at
Marshall and Lily’s you’d need to have
an eagle ID to pick out this detail and
even so you’d probably have to be
pausing your TV every few seconds to the
average viewer likely didn’t notice the
fact that at Marshall and Ted’s
apartment and later at Marshall and
Lily’s the clock is always stuck in the
same time 4:20 in the episode the dual
where they flashback to various
instances that took place in the
apartment it’s clear that this clock has
been broken for years now why did they
choose 420 you ask if you don’t know
then you may not be old enough for us to
tell you number 9 Marshall predicted the
weather for fans of How I Met Your
Mother
one of the biggest draws of the show are
the long-running gags that are scattered
throughout the seasons all the way back
in season 2 Marshall and Barney make a
slap bet and for the rest of the series
flaps are doled out with much
anticipation in this season 7 episode
disaster averted
Marshall gains three additional slaps
and immediately uses to seeing that
he’ll save the third for a rainy day he
slaps well I like the sound of that I
think I’ll save those bad boys you know
for a rainy day and in the end Marshall
uses the last slap on an actual rainy
number eight some extra sandwiches but
I’ve confiscated some kids in season
three Ted introduces the concept of
using the term eating a sandwich as a
metaphor for smoking marijuana kids to
understand this story you need to know
that your uncle Marshall was doing
something that lots of college kids do
how do I say this
he was let’s say eating a sandwich
[Music]
characters are seen throughout the
series literally eating sandwiches when
viewers know what’s actually up
interestingly though a full season
before it’s explained in the episode how
Lily stole Christmas a story is told
involving her eating a sandwich in
college a neighborhood teen eats a
sandwich at Marshall’s house in season
seven and in the season 9 episode mom
and dad we see a Rastafarian eating a
sandwich on the beach
number 7 what’s the story wishbone so it
seems that in season 1 lily wore a
wishbone shape necklace and in season 6
Zoey wore a strikingly similar one
coincidence right not on How I Met Your
Mother
remember in the third season when
Marshall and Lily are broke so Marshall
creates Lily and Marshalls sell their
stuff calm to make a little extra cash
Zoe mentions the fact that she bought
some of Lily’s artwork online so maybe
just maybe she also bought some jewelry
while she was at it you’re amazing I
bought a bunch of your paintings online
that was you considering how thorough
the writers of this show are we wouldn’t
be surprised if this was intentional
number six
Barney’s magnum opus in the second
season lily has her friends come see a
play she’s putting on and Barney isn’t
but it was terrible when Lily claims
that she would find something polite to
say about a play he was in he tries to
test her resolve moist moist moist moist
that was the first 40 minutes of
Barney’s show he creates the most awful
and irritating play you could possibly
imagine
involving repeating the word of moist
playing the recorder and spring the
audience with water guns no it’s never
set out loud a screen grab of one of the
programs shows that the play was titled
simply Sukkot Lily number five a
lifetime in a minute if you’ve watched
How I Met Your Mother you know that the
writers take great pains to include
details that casual viewers just
wouldn’t pick up on this is definitely
one of them in the season 9 episode the
rehearsal dinner the gang spent some
time making jokes about Canada to bug
Robin so you’re pretty much done then
kids we weren’t even close to show just
how many jokes they managed to come up
with and imply the passage of time
there’s a couple in the background whose
lives are progressing before our very
eyes he proposes she gets pregnant their
kid graduates college and one of them
even dies all in the background of this
silly scene with the band gonna play for
your first dance crash test dummies it’s
funny cuz who gets a band number for
marshal fulfills a lifelong dream
throughout the series we learned that
Marshall has a certain shall we say
reverence for the Loch Ness monster in
Scotland see the Loch Ness monster tell
him Ted Mosby says what’s up and she’s a
she TED talk in fact lily and Marshall
actually take their honeymoon in
Scotland in an effort to spot the mythic
creature the Loch Ness monster is gonna
swim out of that Lake and eat seaweed
out of my hair
honey you make it sound like the whole
point of our trip to Scotland was
deceived the Loch Ness monster in a
season 3 episode we get to see into
Marshalls future as an elderly man in
the year 2029 and it looks like his life
is pretty good most importantly though
if you look closely you can see a
newspaper article framed behind him that
reads NYC lawyer captures Nessie number
3 a sinister countdown for a sitcom How
I Met Your Mother does delve into darker
territory at times
the saddest the show gets is definitely
in the sixth season when Marshalls
father suddenly dies that’s it Marshall
gets the news from Lily just before the
credits roll but throughout the entire
episode
there’s a subtle countdown taking place
in the background that you would only
notice on a second viewing numbers
counting down from fifty to one are
displayed in a wide variety of ways on
books beer bottles TV screens and
winning lotto numbers
you should definitely rewatch the
episode and try to spot them all
number two the fake websites from the
show are all real Ted Mosby is a jerk
calm and that little website went on to
get 400,000 hits thanks Barney the
people behind How I Met Your Mother
really go the extra mile when it comes
to offering up Easter eggs to fans all
of the web sites mentioned on the show
were created by the producers including
Canadian sex acts org
Barney’s video resume calm and the slap
bet countdown calm the very best one
might just be a guy forces his wife to
dress in a garbage bag for the next
three years calm guy forces his wife to
dress in a garbage bag for the next
three years dot-com whoa that’s real
while some have become defunct over the
years even today many are still in
operation number one we learned the
mother’s name in season 1 some people
watch How I Met Your Mother for the
comedy and lovable characters but others
were in it for the mystery of who the
mother was the creator’s dropped hints
throughout the series but there was a
big one that you may very well have
missed in this first season episode Ted
meets a stripper named Tracy and tricks
his kids by saying that’s how he met
their mother actually I’m Traci still
Ted and that kids is the true story of
How I Met Your Mother
what they’re understandably shocked and
it quickly says he’s kidding but viewers
do eventually find out that the mother’s
name really is Tracy making this a much
better joke she
ted mosby yeah look I’m going Ted Mosby
those are my initials TM Tracy McConnell
