Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What happened when Marshall proposed to Lily?

Answer: She got hit in the eye with a cork.

This happened in the pilot episode. Marshall was so excited that Lily had said yes that when he tried to open the stubborn cork on the champagne bottle, which he inadvertently had pointed in her direction; the cork finally came out and hit Lily in the eye. At least she'll remember that day for many years to come.

2. Lily was cranky all day in "Mary the Paralegal" because someone had cut her off on her way to work.

Answer: False

Lily was cranky because they had taken her kindergarden class' naptime away. Since she naps when they do, they took her naptime away too.

3. What does Barney say to girls to introduce his friend to them?

Answer: "Haaaave you met Ted?"

Barney enjoys trying to get Ted to meet new girls by first walking up to them then saying "Haaaave you met Ted" where he will then turn around to let the girl see Ted. This eventually led Ted to meet Robin.

4. What is Barney's catchphrase?

Answer: "Suit up"

Barney is famous for always wearing suits. A couple of episodes into the series, he tells what happened to him that made him always wear suits, and also where he got the phrase "suit up!" He was going to join the Peace Corps., when his girlfriend decided she didn't want to go with him anymore, and that she was breaking up with him.

He was so devastated that he ran outside and it just so happened that a man was passing out fliers for a new suit store and the flier's headline was "suit up". He decided righ then and there that he would become a whole new Barney; turning into the Barney we all know and love.

5. Every year on Halloween, Ted goes up to the rooftop's annual Halloween party to wait for the girl whom he calls what?

Answer: the slutty pumpkin

He named her the slutty pumpkin because when he first met her, she was wearing a very revealing pumpkin costume.

6. What does Barney do to make the girls he has one-night stands with leave in the morning?

Answer: all of these

He had everything done to repel the ladies so that in the morning they would be so disgusted that they would leave on their own, never wanting to see him again, thus making Barney very happy.

7. Robin said she kept away from malls because her cat died at a mall when she was little.

Answer: False

The real reason was that she was a Canadian teenage pop-star (Robin Sparkles) where she sang a song titled, "Let's Go To the Mall." She claimed that she got married at a mall and it ended bad so she never wanted to go to a mall again. Part of her music video appeared in this episode, but if you didn't get a chance to catch it, go to the "How I Met Your Mother" MySpace and check out Robin Sparkles' MySpace.

8. What name did the cashier at the coffee place the boys went to put on Barney's cup?

Answer: Swarley

Ted and Marshall made fun of Barney throughout the whole episode. Ted even called the bar asking for Swarley. Later in the episode, the girl meets Robin and messes up her name as well. Barney tries to run with it by making fun of Robin, but the others didn't think it was as funny as Swarley.

9. What colored musical instrument did Ted take to Robin to try to get a second chance with her?

Answer: a blue french horn

They were at a restaurant when they both noticed the blue french horn and Robin made a comment about owning a blue french horn. Later in the episode, Ted tried to make up for scaring her by telling her that he loved her on their first date, by running into the restaurant and stealing the blue french horn, and surprising her with it.

A few episodes later he decides that he will try one last time with Robin, so he books a string quartet that has blue instruments, sort of in honor of the blue french horn.

10. Where did Lily and Marshall meet?

Answer: in college

They lived in the same dorm in college and became instant friends. Thanks for taking my quiz. I hope you liked it.
