This scavenger hunt is a noncompetitive activity that is broken into two parts. First, as we participate in the summer rewatch, we may notice things in How I Met Your Mother that somehow remind us of Big Bang Theory (I'm sure this will happen. This happens to me with EVERY show ). We can list and discuss those things here.

Second, this thread can also be used to list any other reminder of BBT that we may come across. Whether it's a direct reference made by another show, a similar situation or line from another show, you pass someone dressed like the Flash, whatever it is that makes you think of the show, you can post about here.

Bonus points if anyone posts pics of the reminder/reference!

I got one... in 1x02, during the Superman discussion about his skin cells in the comics, Sheldon says Challenge Accepted, to the quest of finding proof.

Barney's catch phrase - Challenge Accepted.

Cheating cheating cheating...I said that in the ep thread. Haha Shelly's a fan of the Barnacle.

Found one!

Barney to Lily in 1.04: *scoffs* Men are working here.

Howard to Penny in 1.02: Men are working here.

It actually makes sense since Howard was basically the unsuccessful 'Barney' of BBT.

Howard's line was "hold on, honey, men at work!" Did you look at the HIMYM scavenger hunt board? I put this exact same thing there! Our psychic link is coming back!

Mysteria

I wasn't here for that episode

AisicsRule

Agh! That's right! I couldn't remember the exact wording, especially with Barney's voice in my head. And yes I did see your post at the HIMYM board! Huzzah for our psychic link!!! \0/

WeBuiltThePyramids

okay, then!

And yay, Amber! I missed that!

1.06: Leonard made Sheldon be his wingman and I went colon capital D Especially cause I had just caught the S6 ep last night where Barney was putting the moves on Ted and Marshall sucked at wingman-ing

Mysteria

I so can't believe that one didn't hit me... Ted/Barney friendship thread, you know what's its called... Wingmen. Like really, I'm a bad fan

WeBuiltThePyramids

I fail so badly too, Crystal. That didn't once occur to me!

Both the HIMYM episode and the TBBT episode involved in the 6/16/11 rewatch involved a female character saying "Yeah...no..."

Was watching an episode of Flashforward today - they mentioned the double slit experiment and Schrodinger's Cat in the same conversation!

WeBuiltThePyramids

Awesome! Was that show good, or will I be disappointed after the book?

Um, I've only seen like 6 or 7 episodes. And that's spread out over about a year. So it hasn't hooked me. And it's VERY different from the book, so don't be expecting much to be the same, at all. But I am still enjoying it when I watch it.
