Did You Know In A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST...

There is a reference to the popular show How I Met Your Mother in this movie! Neil Patrick Harris said "Challenge accepted!" when he is challenged to a duel by Albert - and it was his famous catchphrase from the TV show! Interestingly, the writers were not aware of this when they were writing the movie. Therefore, they did not understand why audiences were laughing at the actor's remarks during test screenings! But…

Please stop with the but. It literally makes no sense.

Legen wait for it.... dary.. Legendary

[hentaidancer]

Well yeah, that phrase is really generic. Compare it to how Neil would say legendary and you can see the difference between his two phrases. It's unique enough

[BD_Purser]

Legen...."wait for it"...dary

[thepostaldude]

It's probably because "challenge accepted" is a super common phrase

[supersolidsnake]

No Barney… I didn’t challenge yo… I SAID.. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

[Touchii]

Challenge accepted isn't his own catchphrase, Ross said it in friends

[hh-mlmx]

If they didn’t know it, then it’s not a goddamn reference, but.

[requend]

This voice always ends the video by saying. BUT. kinda sus

[SapereAude]

My dude, every time I see NPH, it’s like a reference to HIMYM

[suyashjoshi]

This guy does have some interesting facts...but....

[mrmojomajestic]

There's another one.
When Albert is telling Foy what kind of moustache he wants, Foy referred to it at a "Mosbius" after Ted Mosby.

[nedkelly]

Never mind all of the NPH shit, look at Charlize in this

[ricardoeugenecampher]

Cap Seth knew he is one of the writers

[asquid]

If they didn't know they were making a reference then it's not a reference

[Goodthrust]

It was actually a reference to the movie Gladiator. Where, in that movie, they say words as well.

[byroncormier]

So it isn't a reference to the show at all. It's just the proper response to say challenge accepted after someone challenges you.

[shvy]

bc its not a for the show is reference for NPH, Arnold said I'm back in the Expandables too

[luistorres]

It just shows that most writers don’t even pay attention to the stuff their actors are in or played.

[DR.K]

Kind of a stretch there, but I guess its a reference. Or its just a normal response to what Albert said. Its not even funny, so the fact test audiences laughed shows how dumb those test audiences were.
