How Indy Met Your Mother

Indiana Jones references are very trendy now. At least it looks like it as every popular TV show seems to have an Indy episode nowadays. And that's a good thing. Heck, I would not mind if they have an Indy episode every other week c|:)

Not long ago I posted about a Big Bang Theory episode, this time it is a How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) episode from 2008. Episode 1 of season 5 of this sitcom might be old news for US folks but it has just been aired for the first time on German tv. The story related to Indy is about the main character Ted who will have his first class as an architecture professor. As a present from his friends he gets a fedora and a bullwhip, because a real professor obviously does need those.

Josh Radnor (Ted), Jason Segel (Marshall) and Allyson Hannigan (Lily) try out the whip in an alley

There is even a wiki page about this episode... They for sure had their fun doing this episode. Here another quote from the show by jack-of-all-trades Barney:

Barney: That, my friends, is the dominator 5000, the best bull whip on the market according to my whip guy. Yeah, I have a whip guy. [makes whip sound]

As I was looking for a picture for this post I stumbled over even more HIMYM Indy fun. The cast did
reenact some of 2008 most memorable film moments including a scene from a film we all know:

Colbie Smulder (Robin) as Spalko, Neil Patrick Harris (Barney) as Indy and Josh Radnor (Ted) as Mutt

''Smulders (left) didn't see Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (she says the key to Cate Blanchett was ''just look like a badass''), while Harris studied Indy hard: ''It's sort of a quarter-squint. The lips go down, 
 but there's a hint of a smile. But he's not amused, because he's always got other things in mind.''
