Why didn't Ted see his 'hair gel'?


He was punching the clown in front of a giant bathroom mirror right? How did he not see it in the mirror?

Some hotel mirrors don't reflect semen.

I think, maybe, he was standing in front of the toilet, which probably DIDN'T have a mirror on the wall behind it. When he was through and trying to find it, the doorbell rang and he got in a hurry. He just didn't see it in any place it should have been. I remember he even looked up, which made me laugh out loud. My guess is, he just wasn't expecting it to end up where it did and he was never standing directly in front of the mirror by the sink.

The question is: Who doesn't wash their hands after masturbating?!?

Exactly!!! I have never stolen anything in my life, and don't like sticky fingers.

It was actually a cheat on the audience. We see him turn his head in both directions and there is no semen on his ear. Then, bingo, it appears for the joke's payoff.

He should've done it in the shower. Less messy and you can clean up a lot easier. Of course, that wouldn't have been as funny. I wonder what Mary would've said if she knew what it was?
