It is then clear that the stereotype in which the screen writers are tapping into is that of those funny-looking skyscrapers that are nowadays populating the city centre of all the major metropolises in the world. However, those television skits, which its only apparent purpose is to get a laugh or a giggle from the audience, are in reality more than often aiming to parodize real-life situations. Hammond, completely unaware of the clearly phallic shape that his creation was resembling, declared that he wanted his tower to “emerge from a thicket of unkempt brunette shrubbery”, contributing to the ambiguity and absurdity of the scene. In this very episode, Ted’s fi rm was commissioned to design the headquarters for a major bank and fi nancial services company.
And if you still have no clue of who we are talking about, you might as well spend the next summer break binge-watching the whole 9 seasons of the American sitcom How I Met Your Mother.
Hammond Druthers was the boss and head of the fi rm in which probably the most famous architect of the 21th century was working: Ted Mosby. For those who do not remember these lines, let me refresh your memory.
