Continuity
- Barney states that men who have had at least one relationship with a prostitute are 75% more likely to have success in future relationships, then concedes to Marshall that he made that statistic up. However, in "Brunch", Ted observes that Barney always uses 83% when making up a statistic.
- Marshall uses his catchphrase "lawyered". He does that every time he wins an argument.
- Mary makes a joke about Sandy Rivers "putting his hair on" in the mornings. It is revealed in "Bad News" that Sandy's hair is a toupee.
- Ted allows Barney to drink from his water glass, even though in "Little Boys" they discuss how Ted is afraid of catching germs from Barney. This is shown in both episodes when Ted asks Mary if she has slept with Barney and is relieved to find out she hasn't, and in "Little Boys" when Barney comments they have never "shared a woman".

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Continuous eloquence wearies.... Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
