* TrivialTitle: The eponymous purple Giraffe has little bearing to the overall plot of the episode. Or so it seems at the beginning, before becoming symbolically important at the end. Throughout the episode, Ted tries to "play the game" with Robin by approaching her in a more casual fashion. At the end, Ted stops "playing the game" by telling Robin that he wants to be with her, and she turns him down. This is essentially what happened to the kid who got stuck in the crane game which Robin was reporting on - he refused to continue "playing the game" to get what he wanted (a stuffed purple giraffe), and this backfires when he gets stuck. In other words, Robin is Ted's proverbial purple giraffe. This is made clear when Ted's decision to stop "playing the game" is preceded by a montage of the kid trying to get the giraffe with the crane before climbing into the machine.
