NPH and Jason Segel pop up in this video.

Besides these two appearances, I’m happy to post this as it really is important to go out and vote. This election is a big deal and it’s up to all of us to go out and make our voice heard. Obama, McCain, democrat, republican, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you go out and partake in one of the fundamental rights we have as Americans (sorry international readers.)

“I vote because I fell in love and I want that protected.” What a powerful message from Neil Patrick Harris.

How I Met Your Mother (specifically, Barney) has brought back the catchphrase, we all know this and love the show for it. Now we can see them all, rapid fire. Whoever put this video together is a genius and hats off to them for their effort. It’s nine minutes of pure HIMYM awesomeness.

UPDATE: In got taken off YouTube pretty quickly but I snagged it beforehand so I’ve hosted it here myself. Click the image above to view.

While I was patiently waiting my turn to meet and chat with the cast, I watched them give interviews last week. I didn’t realize those interviews were for TV Guide. Check them out:

Read more about that night, from TV Guide’s point of view and see all their How I Met Your Mother coverage.

No episode last night due to the real Final Four (which apparently is about basketball and not women.) Next week new episodes return with The Simmons Report, a Marshall-centric episode. That’ll coincide nicely with a certain movie of his that I hear is coming out soon.

Just because there was no episode doesn’t mean we have nothing to talk about! I found a great promo from CBS on YouTube today. It’s called “The HIMYM Dictionary” and it’s really just a montage of clips edited together. It’s pretty funny though and serves the purpose—I’m excited to watch the show.

So Ted was using the C word in How Lily Stole Christmas last year. I’d always kind of suspected that but it had never been confirmed. See you next Tuesday for the new episode recap. Until then, I’ve got some Sarah Marshall Updates, and some legacy Season vs Season coming out later this week. Stay tuned.

We all know and love her as Wendy the Waitress but as several readers pointed out, Charlene Amoia pops up in a lot of commercials and guest appearances on other shows. Here is a random smattering going from most recognizable to least-in-English. Enjoy. The pictures at the bottom are just for you as well.

Speed Reel

Here is a reel from Amoia’s agency. It has clips from My Boys, The Young and the Restless, How I Met Your Mother, and Joey. Also, her information is at the end in case anyone is looking to cast her in something.

This is the first time I noticed her outside of HIMYM. I love the old guy in this spot.

My Boys

Here’s the extended clip from My Boys where Charlene gets hit on by Mario and Luigi’s younger brother Esteban.

Joey

Charlene is in Joey’s book club. Extended clip from the speed reel.

McDonalds

This is a surprisingly sexy commercial for the golden arches. Check out how she purrs “I like it cold”. Who could argue with that?

DCU Commercial

OK, this is a stretch but she looks cute and is smart about managing her money!

Meetic Commercial

I have no idea what Meetic even is. Is it a product? A show? A movie? It seems like it might be French. Keep watching past the initial part, it kicks over into English and gets very, very funny. It also has the song “Too Drunk to F***” by Nouvelle Vague (listen here).

Looking cute yet again. This guy is worse than Barney. Goldters? Cabana in Maui? Is this what happens to hot girls whilst they do their laundry?

There’s a few more videos with Amoia that aren’t as entertaining.
