* FiveSecondRule: PlayedForLaughs. In "[[Recap/HowIMetYourMotherS7E15TheBurningBeekeeper The Burning Beekeeper]]", Lily makes a cheese fall on the floor so no one can eat it, but Robin reminds her about the 5 second rule. Lily then stomps the cheese into pieces, and Robin tells her that the 5 seconds have passed anyway.

The character's name is Gael given that Marshall, Ted, and Barney made fun of his name.


* HeartIsWhereTheHomeIs: {{Subverted}}. Robin and strait-laced Ted break up and she almost immediately leaves for an extended trip to Argentina. On coming home, she brings back [[RomanticFalseLead Andre]]. She soon learns that, after the novelty wears off, all the personality traits she first found attractive about him (trying to sensually feed her by hand, sweeping everything off the table to have sex, inviting strangers into her home) annoy her. This prompts her to realize that he's just a rebound, so she dumps him but not to go back to Ted.

Added DiffLines:

* AcronymsAreEasyAsAybeecee: Invoked by Barney. He works at a clearly corrupt corporation and is unrealistically rich, but is never shown doing any actual work. On more than one occasion, his friends asked him what his job is, but he seemingly dodges the question by just scoffing and saying "please." Come the final season, "please" is revealed to mean "Provide Legal Exculpation And Sign Everything."

* PornCreatorGoingMainstream: {{Discussed}} by Ted, who says one of the earmarks of porn is a "delusional girl who thinks it's a stepping stone to mainstream success".
