7	!!This episode provides examples of:
8	* CrazyJealousGuy:
9	** Discussed throughout the episode. Marshall tries so hard not to be jealous and tells Lily to have fun at the bar, but he just is. He seems to start working this out at the end though.
10	** The gay boyfriend of the guy Marshall almost beat up didn't react kindly when Marshall gave a hug as an apology.
11	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
12	** Marshall claims that he's never been in a fight before. Though possibly he's been lying to Lily and Ted about his pacifism for the last 10 years. It is also possible he is not including fights with his brothers.
13	** The first time Barney utters his CatchPhrase, "It's gonna be legen--wait for it--dary!", there was no "wait for it." It only occurred in this gem:
14	--->'''Barney''': It's gonna be ''legen''... ''wait for it''...and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant ‘cuz the second half of that word is... '''''dairy'''''.
15	* FairCop: Barney tries to hit on a pretty cop (a security officer at the airport) and thinks he succeeded.
16	%% * ManlyGay: The boyfriend of the guy Lily tried to "lure".
17	* MistakenForTerrorist: Ted and Barney get arrested at the airport due to the latter's shenanigans. They are suspiciously messing with bags and they spontaneously hop on a plane.
18	%% * OffScreenMomentOfAwesome: Which leads to the episode having a TrivialTitle.
19	* ShoddyShindig: Barney is excited that he and Ted have been invited to a party at Sascha whom he met at the Philly airport. The party ends up being extremely boring. They all sit on a couch, staring at TV. They have to keep the noise down because Sascha lives with her elderly grandpa. Each guest only gets to drink one hard lemonade and Barney gets shushed when he tries to toast.
20	%% * StraightGay: The guy that Lily tried to "lure" to her. His boyfriend also counts, though more of a ManlyGay.
21	* TrivialTitle: While Barney and Ted did lick the Liberty Bell, it was never shown on-screen.
22	* WeddingRingRemoval: Played with. Lily takes off her engagement ring to get the attention of guys at Mclaren's.
23	* ZanyScheme: "So, when you said you wanted to pick someone up at the airport... you meant you wanted to ''pick'' someone ''up'' at the ''airport''?"
