In Season 5, Episode 22, the main character Ted wants to add a little class and sophistication to his group of friends, so he starts quoting poetry:
Ted: “Guys, come on, I’m just trying to add a little class to these proceedings. It’s like that line from Dante’s Inferno…”
Marshall: [pbbbt]
Ted: “Consider your origins; you were not born to live like brutes…”
Lily: [pbbbt]
Ted: “…but to follow virtue and knowledge…”
Barney: [pbbbt]
Ted: “…Or, in the original Italian…”
Friends, groaning: “Nooooo…”
Ted: “…Considerate la vostra semenza…”
Friends: [pbbbbbbbbbbt]
