Trivia
Barney's hot/crazy chart features the "Mendoza diagonal;" a girl below the diagonal is to be avoided. In baseball, the "Mendoza line" refers to a batting average of .200; a hitter below the line is having a terrible year.

Goofs
When Barney uses his hot/crazy graph with the example of a girl he dated he uses the graph wrong. He said that she loses ten pounds which indicates she's got hotter but instead he draws a line which actually said she's got less crazy. And the following line should be that she got crazier but instead he draws a line that said she's getting hotter and crazier, and finally he again draws a line that makes the girl less crazy instead of hotter.

Quotes
Barney Stinson: Think of me as Yoda. Only instead of being little and green, I wear suits and I'm awesome. I'm your bro. I'm Broda.

The Hot/Crazy scale

We first see Barney's Hot/Crazy scale in this episode.

Plot In A Paragraph: Ted turns up at the bar with a girl who he met on the Internet. Embarrassed by this she asks him to go along with a fake story of how they met. Barney insists if she is hot, then she must be crazy, as hot sane girls do not pick up men on the Internet. He then shows Ted the Hot/Crazy scale. Meanwhile thought the course of the night and Ted tells the story of how he met everyone else, we see how Teds date ranks on Barney's scale.

The severe where Barney explains the Hot/Crazy scale is one of my favourites of this season. It's simply brilliant
