    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Although it is true there is an "Alberta Building" in New York (at Riverside Park), it is not the one depicted in the episode, and the name of the architect, Lewis Lamar Skolnick, is completely made up. In fact, Lewis Skolnick and Lamar were both characters in Revenge of the Nerds.
    • Goofs
      If Ted opened the invitation (and can be reasonably assumed did not mail it afterwards), how did Marissa Heller know about the Van Smoot party and that she was invited?
    • Quotes

      Marshall Eriksen: So, funny thing about Willem Dafoe. His name sounds like it's being spoken by a frog, then a parrot.

      [Demonstrates this]

      Marshall Eriksen: Willem. DA-FOE! Willem. DA-FOE!
