We’ve been putting off posting this because it’s almost impossible to get a clear screencap, but huzzah! A wild gif appeared! We all love Heather Morris as Brittany S. Pierce, we’ve seen her dance alongside Beyonce and we’ve spotted her in The White Tie Affair’s “Candle (Sick and Tired)” music video. But here is perhaps her biggest accomplishment: she was a suit dancer in the amazing Nothing Suits Me Like A Suit dance number on How I Met Your Mother. (In the same episode as Stacy Kiebler!)
Thank you so much to corrieo for submitting this! We had tried and tried and couldn’t find a clear screencap/gif so clearly you are the best for submitting one and we love you. <3

You may recognize Bill Fargerbakke (far right) as Marvin Eriksen Sr., Marshal’s amazing father on How I Met Your Mother but he actually has a role that many more of you may be familiar with and not even know it. He’s the voice of Patrick Star in Spongebob Squarepants!
Amazing find how-to-escape, let’s go jelly fishing to celebrate!

teatran asked: I thought yall would appreciate this - remember how back in the day someone submitted Jim Rash (Community) as the vice principal from Phil of the Future but it was actually J. P. Manoux? In the recent Community episodes, J.P. Manoux played the dopplerdean and when he was being caught, he mentioned that he was a Moby impersonator... Who the cast of How I Met Your Mother thought he was in the episode of The Limo. Not really a spotting, just a giant connection.)
This is a little too complicated to do as a full post but it’s pretty cool, and since we’ve already mentioned the Jim Rash/JP Manoux connection before, here’s a screencap of JP Manoux on HIMYM where he played “Not Moby”.
Thanks, teatran!
Cobie Smulders is being plastered all over theater screens right now as Agent Maria Hill in The Avengers, and you’ve seen her for years as Robin Scherbatsky on How I Met Your Mother, but did you now that she once tried to kill an ex as Sarah Webb on the show Tru Calling?
Great submission, safetypinndsally!

In addition to series regular Alyson Hannigan (Buffy’s Willow Rosenberg), the season one finale of How I Met Your Mother features two other Whedonverse stars: Amy Acker (Winifred Burkle and Illyria on Angel), is Penelope, the girl who teaches Ted a rain dance, and Alyson Hannigan’s real-life husband Alexis Denisof (Wesley Wyndam-Pryce) appeared as Sandy Rivers, Robin’s annoying co-anchor.

Cobie Smulders aka How I Met Your Mother’s Robin Scherbatsky played a lesbian glass artist in season 2 of The L Word…is this real life or a figment of Barney Stinson’s imagination?
Legen—wait for it—dary find, zooboomafool!

Abigail Spencer may be most recognizable from her six episodes as Miss Farrell (Sally’s teacher and another one of Don’s mistresses) on Mad Men (top), but luckily she had some practice at playing a crazy woman on a TV show. She was also Blahblah in an episode of How I Met Your Mother (bottom) where she was used to introduce the now beloved Hot/Crazy Scale.

How I Met Your Mother and Pretty Little Liars both had crazy episodes this week but they have even more than that in common… while at first Ned (middle) may just look like the college-aged Josh Radnor that we usually see in HIMYM, he is actually played by PLL’s Brendan Robinson aka Lucas!
Awesome submission, fuckyeahloren! -A

If television were the mob, Law and Order would be what makes you a made man. (The narc? Totally Dateline.) Here’s Josh Radnor, better known as Ted Mosby (architect) from How I Met Your Mother, in a 2002 episode called “Access Nation.” He hasn’t aged at all. Seriously, are we sure this guy isn’t Dorian Gray? Someone check his portrait collection.
Thanks, justwatchingtb!

Known as Charlie Rhodes/Ivy Dickens in Gossip GIrl, Kaylee DeFer made a very brief appearance in How I Met Your Mother as Ted’s ex’s (played by Rachel Bilson) new girlfriend.
Nice find, majamariex!

The tumblrverse is buzzing about last night’s episode of How I Met Your Mother for many reasons, one of which being that Conan O’Brien made a sneaky, surprise appearance as a customer at MacLarens!

Stacy Keibler was a professional wrestler, model, actress, dancer, and many of you probably recognize her for her current role alongside George Clooney on the red carpet (left). But before dating Clooney, she was turned down by Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother because, as he so beautifully told us, nothing suits him like a suit.

Steaksauce!Taran Killam, currently seen on SNL played Blauman, one of Barney’s jerk co-workers, on How I Met Your Mother. He first showed up in season 1 episode 17, “Life Among The Gorillas”, and has also appeared in a few other episodes throughout the series.
Awesome submission (and URL), benwyattismysoulmate!

Do you remember the adorable Jae Head as S.J. Tuohy in The Blind Side? Of course you do. But did you recognize him from these two roles on very well known shows? Probably not. He was stuck in the crane machine to get his purple giraffe in How I Met Your Mother (top) and he was also Bo Miller alongside the amazing TIm Riggins in Friday Night Lights (bottom).

Twilight’s Rachelle Lefevre was on How I Met Your Mother as a girl Barney picked up in MacLarens in Episode #2.18: “Moving Day”.
Wonderful find, kurby!
