He's still a Jerkass, in this episode dismissing shooting at Harris as no big deal. Continuity Nod: Officer Slater makes his return two years after he was seen in " Hash".Wojo: I thought those differences weren't important anymore!īarney: They're not! But they are. note What he was trying to say is that it's wrong to judge someone by race, but they should be aware of the fact that Harris still has to face racism. By "No", I Mean "Yes": Barney tries to explain to Wojo that Harris' race gives him a particular set of problems to deal with, after being shot at by fellow cops has (understandably) made Harris angry at the world in general-although here it's not a matter of Insistent Terminology, but Barney grappling with words. At the end of the episode, Dietrich innocently (or possibly not) repeats the punchline, at which Wojo gives him a Death Glare. He tries not to give the punchline, though Wojo wheedles it out of him. This is meant to demonstrate to Wojo (who is of Polish descent) that everyone has buttons that can be insensitively pressed by others who may not truly understand what they're saying. Brick Joke: Earlier on in the episode, to try to explain Harris' feelings (that being the only Black detective in the precinct means that none of them can truly understand on an internal level what he's going through, but can sympathize and give support) to Wojo, he tells the first part of an old "dimwitted Polish" stereotype joke to Wojo.Barney sips, grimaces, and says it tastes like "wood". Being Dietrich, instead of making regular coffee he makes some kind of supposedly healthy coffee substitute out of barley.
