- Fridge Horror: It's played for laughs, but this episode heavily implies that all of Ted's girlfriends are so interchangeable in his mind that he genuinely can't tell them apart in his memories. For instance, he can't remember that he's never taken Robin to a certain restaurant, or that he wasn't dating her when Van Helsing came out - a full year before he even met her. Kinda makes you think maybe there's a reason he's still single even though he's desperate to get married...
- Informed Wrongness: The gang act like Ted is a monster for being freaked out by Robin keeping her dogs once he finds out where they came from. However, not only did Robin make Ted get rid of all the stuff from his past relationships while keeping the dogs from her past relationships, she also completely failed to tell her boyfriend that she had been in five past relationships that were serious enough to get a pet. Although the episode was mostly an excuse to write out the dogs, as Josh Radnor was allergic, Ted had EVERY RIGHT to be upset and angry that his girlfriend of almost a year conveniently never mentioned something that huge.
