Two Toothbrushes

[snogged]

There was something about last night's HIMYM episode that bugged me continuity-wise. And then I thought, hey we've seen LAME brush their teeth before.

Spoilers for Season 1: "Zip, Zip, Zip."





Excuse me while I go and try to wrap my brain around fixing this in fiction.

THANK YOU!
I lent all my DVDs to someone so I couldn't check for myself, but I KNEW we had seen them brush their teeth with separate tooth brushes before.

Carter and Craig seriously fail for forgetting that in the same episode where Ted and Victoria did the making out stuff, and Robin and Barney did the awesome laser tag stuff...Marshall and Lily did the brush our teeth stuff.

lol considering Lily & Marshall spent half the episode in the bathroom you'd think they might have thought to reference it for continuity sake (but then again continuity hasn't really been their concern this season, it seems) :/

Plus, you know, even if they did share a toothbrush I don't really get the whole OMG TED SHARED IT TOO thing because it's not like you use the same tooth brush for years upon years - you change it every few months, and one or the other would have noticed that there was a different toothbrush in there. < /nitpicking >

I certainly change my toothbrushes every few months. Otherwise, gross.

You have a point, but continuity was the least of my problems with last night's episode. -.-

Heh...yeah.

STUPID HIMYM

*sigh*

I think C&C just like to abuse Old!Ted's ability to storytell because they think they'll get it away with it.

Lol, both of their faces look kind of concerned, like "what if four seasons from now people tried saying we use the same toothbrush?Wouldn't that be strange and inaccurate?"

Bless Marshall's hair. I miss when it looked good. :P

I wonder if Ted's toothbrush is in a frame somewhere in that episode...

I loves Marshall's hair from S1. It's so adorable.
