Yes, this deserves its own topic because HIMYM is one of the best shows on TV and because I said so.
Basically, Ted's hot sister came to visit for Christmas after years of him keeping his horndog friend Barney from meeting her. During some flashbacks of Ted looking at Christmas cards from her, Barney would sing lyrics about seeing Ted's sister naked, her taking off her pants, playing with her boobs...that sort of thing, to the tune of Christmas carols. So when Barney finally meets her, Ted tells him (probably not a direct quote):
Ted: You're like "Weird Al" Yankovic if he only wrote Christmas songs about having sex with my sister!
Barney: Ok, first of all, I'm flattered.
And yes, Ted did pronounce Yankovic correctly. It's a Christmas miracle and probably the best Al reference after King of the Hill so many years ago.

I've never seen that show, but I kept meaning to start watching it for, like, ever. Now I have an excuse!

I think its "legen... wait for it... dary."Mystik Tomato @ December 16, 2008 01:23 am wrote: Okay, that's just - wait for it - legendary!
Anyway just saw the episode. Not one of the best (the Robin/Marshall storyline was boring), but the Weird Al reference was pretty good.
I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.

Oh man, I was gonna say something about this but anth beat me to it.
I was writing on my "To Do List" and I was listening to it when I heard "Weird Al" Yankovic and I just stopped dead in my tracks waiting for what was gonna happen next.
If anyone hasn't seen them, here it is...hillarious!
