Call-Back: To Season 4: " I'm gonna win her back." (although the two clips of Ted saying this are totally different).Because he usually does things like that. But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Everyone, Barney included, forgot that Barney tagged along to go to the art gallery and did a play from the playbook.When Barney had to return Brover to his owner Robin came along with him and reminiscent about when she gave her dogs to her aunt and her female friend living together upstate back in "Stuff." In that episode Lily mentioned that "Oh, they love dogs!" which confused Robin over what she meant by "they." Talking about it again Barney made it clear that her aunt is a lesbian and she was caught off guard that she didn't realize that before. Brick Joke: A rather epic one dating to the second season.The three of them also break the "interior" fourth wall when they speak to Marshall and Lily within their answers.Lampshaded in "Who Wants to be a Godparent?": Marshall brings Ted, Barney and Robin into the apartment to play the game, and says that they'll be back "right after these messages." Ted comments, "Why is he pointing at the wall?" Cut to real commercial.Something similar happens in "Nannies", as Lily and Marshall are freaking out over Marvin's disappearance.
