[S4E18] Old King Clancy ((EXCLUSIVE))
In spring 2009, Ted works on the Goliath National Bank (GNB) headquarters. But he chafes at the restrictions set by the executive supervising the project, Bilson (Bryan Callen), who prevents him from incorporating the naturalistic features that excite him. A new task force is put together to supervise Ted, and he feels engaged again; but then he learns that the building was scrapped a month earlier. Barney and Marshall admit that GNB decided to fire Ted due to cutting back on new expenditures to fund their lavish corporate retreats, but the company was contracted to pay him for two more months; Barney and Marshall hired a random group of people to pose as Ted's task force to avoid telling him the truth. Barney is able to get Ted a job designing an exact duplicate of the room in which GNB employees are fired; but when Ted creates an entirely new concept for the project, he is fired in the existing room. After attacking Bilson with a chair, Ted resigns from his firm and decides to start his own business where he can be free from corporate thinking.
[S4E18] Old King Clancy
How I Met Your Mother is a US sitcom that runs Monday nights on CBS. In last night's episode (Season 4, episode 18 Old King Clancy) there is a Rush reference. Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), Marshall (Jason Segel - who also stars in I Love You Man) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) were talking with Robin (Cobie Smulders) about a sexual experience she had with a Canadian celebrity who got her back to his place by showing her a very unique collection but ruined the moment when this celebrity wanted to do a weird Canadian sex act. Over the course of the episode, the characters tried to guess the celebrity, the sex act and the items that this celebrity collected. At one point, Lily guessed anyone from the band Rush, a montreal meat pie and superhero lunchboxes. You can watch the entire episode online at this link (the Rush reference occurs at about the 16:40 mark). Thanks to Riff Raff for the heads up.
Ted: No way! You never lie to your friends. I would never not be honest with you.Barney: Really? What about that open mic night at the comedy club?[flashback to Marshall on stage at a comedy club:]Barney: Are you like me, folks? Have you ever thought about how many different kinds of fish there are? And the names of those fish? Let's, uh, let's take a little ride. "Trout." Am I right? "Sturgeon." I don't think so, pal. "Salmon." I'm going to say that again, salmon. Who thought that was a good idea, right? "Bass." This guy over here knows what I'm talking about. "Halibut." Thank you, good night.
