On last week's How I Met Your Mother, there was a reference to one of Barney's former conquests making a website called tedmosbyisajerk.com. Why is one of Barney's one-night-stands hating on Ted? Barney used Ted's name and occupation (architect) with her instead of his own.
Well, as HIMYM and Scrubs have been doing, they actually made a website using that name.
Check it out: http://tedmosbyisajerk.com/
In it, you get a little background on why this woman thinks "Ted" is a jerk. Then click the link to "the letter"-- classic.
What makes this site even more fun is this particular conquest was actually part of a past episode. Barney did use Ted's name, did have a one night stand, and did bail on her as she took a shower-- and left a note claiming he was a ghost.
For an even more obscure reference, the link to Ted as a porn star is from another episode where Ted found out there is a porn star with his same name. I don't remember all the details, but the "Lance Hardwood: Sex Architect" sounds very familiar from the episode.
I love this stuff. I love that the creators/writers of this show are weaving a web of past, present, and future events within the "mythology" of the series. What's even better is you don't need to know any of these to enjoy the episodes. All the episodes are self-contained.
But if you've been watching from the beginning, there's that extra little rush when something like this happens.
