Clothing color significance

To assign any significance to the color of the clothes the characters wear where nothing is ever said or even suggested in the episode that there is a significance to it is original research. It is possible that the clothes are a reference to the characters from the game, but it is also possible that there is no reference. This needs a citation to verify that there was an intention to make the reference through wardrobe. 99.192.60.218 (talk) 15:31, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean, "nothing is even suggested in the episode"? Look at the clue cards, Marshall uses a specific character for a specific cast member. If you played the game, each specific character is assigned to a specific color, made obvious by their name:

Professor Plum = Purple Reverend Green = Green Miss Scarlet = Red Mrs. White = White Mrs. Peacock = Blue Colonel Mustard = Yellow

Now watch the episode again. If you need a visual aid, look at this photo. http://popculturebrain.com/post/3183577803/how-i-met-your-mothers-oh-honey-clue-ted-as; Some people actually got the brilliant play the moment it came out. Do you honestly think Carter and Bays would write somewhere, "Oh, we used a clue reference here"? That actually destroys the purpose of clever concealment and good writing.

I'm reverting your delete.

You still have said nothing to show that the clothing choice was an intentional reference. No one says anything in the episode to connect the clothes to the game characters. Linking to a blog as you have done here shows that some non-notable person thinks there is a connection. If you can find a notable person (like a columniost in a notable publication) who says the same or a source showing someone directly involved in the show saying the same, then you have a case that it was intentional. Saying "use common sense" or arguing that it seems obvious to you is not an argument that passes the original research test. 99.192.60.218 (talk) 15:53, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I linked it out to a blog because I needed the photo to illustrate, not because I used that same site for the reference. Look dude, fine, if you're going to be a dick about it, go ahead. But at least you have to admit, even without the use of proper citation from a source like IMDB or E! news: I'm right. And because I have a life outside this, I leave you be, good friend. Use your brain once in a while. BTW, I corrected your spelling of "notable" in your previous post. 112.205.210.233 (talk) 16:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly: "if you're going to be a dick about it...." You should review Wikipedia's civility guidelines. Lack of civility is not permitted and is usually taken as a sign that an editor is not interested in contributing constructively to the content of articles. Secondly, Wikipedia does not recognize IMDB as a credible outside source for information such as we are discussing. Thirdly, if the claims you are making about wardrobe are right then it should not be too hard to find a citable source to include. Not being able to find any such source would seem to support the idea that it is not an intentional device. 99.192.60.218 (talk) 16:37, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

and you should also review WP:EL, which states that blog links cannot be included. --Eaglestorm (talk) 23:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to the twitter account HIMYMPROD, run by the How I met Your Mother production staff the Clue wardrobe was intentional. Now you can stop your silly slap fight. http://twitter.com/#!/himymprod/status/35040984853123072 15.203.233.76 (talk) 12:56, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Oscar Wilde reference, though it would have been delightful if true, was removed upon realization that the actual line Barney says is "I'm up on Burners, playa." "Burner" is a popular term for a disposable cell-phone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.237.13.67 (talk) 09:30, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just can't beliebe no one is mentioning Kate Perry's sneak peek at this episode ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.22.69.137 (talk) 22:59, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
