Another GNR reference during How I Met Your Mother

[stratus]

Towards the end of the "Bass Player Wanted" episode. The mom has a dialogue with Marshall which goes roughly as follows:

- Mom sits at the hotel/wedding venue bar and says she "is out of their imaginary band"

- Marshall responds "Fine. I will join the new Guns N' Roses which has way less drama".

Again, not an exact match of a dialogue but "new Guns N' Roses" and the sarcastic comment on how play / hang out with them would involve less drama than "be in a band" with her was definitely said.

It's clearly not the first time GNR is mentioned in HIMYM. See http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?/topic/169560-greatest-gnr-reference-on-how-i-met-your-mother/

Exact dialogue:

The mother: *laugs at her singer getting punched by Ted*

Her singer: "What, that's funny to you?! You know what? I quit. You can have your stupid band back. I miss being in a band where people are decent to each other and there's no drama. I'm going back to the new Guns n' Roses!" *storms off*

(Marshal wasn't even in the segment)

I laughed out loud.

This show is fucking terrible. Nice to see a GN'R reference though.

It's their second GnR reference. They made fun of Chinese Democracy in one episode as well.

Also, I love this show.

Also Had a group pic with slash in an episode. But teds gf was in the way so you could only see the hair/hat

[IncitingChaos]

Slash shows up at the bar in one episode (not the real one...I think) and a guy reads lily a poem entitled "November Rain by W. Axl Rose"

Edit: Beaten to the Slash episode haha

I can remember of several GnR references in Californication too (Chinese Dem, Civil War etc)

[Streetchild]

One of the makers must be a real GNR fan, cause they have these jokes a lot.

I loved the "new is Always better" theory.

He seems more of a classic GnR fan and not much of a new GnR fan.

Don't forget Barney says Axl has really matured as a songwriter when him and Ted are talking about CD

I love when they make GN'R jokes on HIMYM.

So hopefully this brings everyone on here a little bit closer to seeing that this is how the rest of the world sees current GNR, if they ever think about the band at all.

Calling How I Met Your Mother terrible while posting a clip from Family Guy?

Who knows, maybe the show's writers probably lurk here.

Some writer for a truly crap TV show doesn't like post-Slash gn"r, who cares? it proves nothing. The world loves Beyonce and vampire weekend too.

Family Guy is actually funny and clever.

Family Guy hasn't been funny in five years or more. It was never clever.

Lol- at the guy who said How I Met Your Mother is a good representation of public opinion. Wait, isn't/wasn't that show a big hit? Nevermind, lol @ public opinion.

If anything, it's a good representation of how one writer on one sitcom feels about CD.

Sorry about the duplicate thread this morning, I didn't check here first because I never imagined it would ever be considered D&N worthy.

The show is actually fairly good, I think it's a funnier version of Friends. And I've always had a thing for Alyson Hannigan, going all the way back to her Buffy days.

Alyson has been looking fiiine this season.

[Mysteron]

It was an ok show, HIMYM.

There were lots of cultural references each episode. It is cool they included GN'R a few times

Lots of hilarious references to Canada as well.

Love the Canadian jokes. I just love the show in general. I'm gonna be sad when it's over

Family Guy is terrible, worst piece of shit I have seen in my life.

Family Guy is hilarious, clever and well written. In 20 years people will still be watching it while HIMYM will be long forgotten along the likes of other shows such as Just the Ten of Us.

Agreed. For some reason I've had a weakness for her ever since Buffy.
