“Lorenzo Von Matterhorn” Tops Internet, Craig Robinson on WWE RAW

— CBS re-aired “The Playbook” episode of “How I Met Your Mother” Monday, and even as a repeat airing, the buzzworthy episode managed to create a massive search engine surge.

As of 10PM EST, “Lorenzo Von Matterhorn” was the hottest search phrase on Google. For those unaware, “Lorenzo Von Matterhorn” refers to one of character Barney Stinson’s playbook strategies for picking up women.

In order to utilize the Lorenzo Von Matterhorn, one must first choose a very distinct alias (akin to Lorenzo Von Matterhorn) and create a series of web pages and articles devoted to an array of “accomplishments.” He then subtly introduces himself as a celebrity to a single woman at the bar, prompting her to search his name on the phone. She stumbles upon the fake websites and immediately falls for the man, agreeing to a date with who she believes to be a phenomenally-accomplished celebrity.

— Unadvertised “Hot Tub Time Machine” co-star Craig Robinson made a brief cameo via satellite on this week’s WWE RAW. In the midst of a “hot tub match” between Robinson’s co-stars Rob Corddry and Clark Duke and some of WWE’s Divas, Robinson announced that the match was over and that their new opponent was Mark Henry, who entered the tub in a very skimpy bathing suit. Hornswoggle then emerged from under water.
