Guest Stars You Missed, Ranked by Most Legen—Wait for It—dary

It's been exactly three years since Ted met Tracey, and they lived happily ever after. (This is what happened; I accept no alternatives; Tracy + Ted is the only timeline I accept; news of Tracy's death is fake news.) Yes, our beloved

aired its finale on March 31, 2014. In the time since, some of the many guest stars who appeared on the series over its 208-episode run have gone on to major success, even if their cameos were so short you don't even remember them. Here are 17 of our favorites, ranked from legen- to -dary:

"Blah Blah" (real name Carol) is a woman Ted meets

online, played by Abigail Spencer, star of NBC's

Throughout the first half of season nine, Lily has her drink replaced by a Farhampton bartender named Linus. Linus was played by Rob Belushi, who was once my improv teacher. Hi, Rob!

Jayma Mays pops up as Coat Check Girl in a 2005 episode, years before she was Ms. Pillsbury on

Lucy Hale played Robin's little sister Katie; fellow

–loving Hare Krishna), played Chester in Trilogy Time, a.k.a. the guy who stares at Barney every night while he farts. Gladis is currently engaged to

star Beth Behrs, which isn't relevant except that once I saw them at a play together, and they seemed very happy!

) briefly appeared as an unhelpful but enthusiastic Atlantic City registrar in "Atlantic City."

as Laura, one half of the couple living across the hall from Marshall and Lily with whom they play charades and grow to hate and then grow to tolerate. Schaal's been in a lot of great projects, both before and after her appearance on

but by far my favorite Schaal mini-moment is her role alongside Flo the Progressive Insurance Lady as switchboard operators in the

pilot. The Sterling Cooper switchboard ladies are never seen again!

's Anna Camp was Cassie, the wedding guest from Hades in "The Lighthouse," a role she reportedly won after Ellie Kemper had to drop out due to scheduling issues. Camp now has a recurring role as an uptight Upper East Side mother on Kemper's Netflix show,

If Lin-Manuel Miranda isn't rapping, is he even breathing? Can the man survive without rhymes? Pre-

Crazy Eyes, a.k.a. Chloe, was none other than Morena Baccarin, whose diverse credits include

But to me, she'll always be the woman who coined the name Swarley.

) played Barney and Robin's mortal enemies in "Something New": Krirsten and Calvin. They are obnoxious and instantly iconic. Krirsten forever.

Out of the five main cast members, three are currently married, and all three of the cast husbands have appeared on the show. Cobie Smulders' husband, Taran Killam, was Marshall's asshole coworker Gary Blauman…

…Neil Patrick Harris' husband, David Burtka, was Lily's high school boyfriend Scooter…

…and Alyson Hannigan's husband, Alexis Denisof, was Robin's coanchor Sandy Rivers.

Even though she only has one line ("Ya think ya betta than me!?"), Rachel Bloom, the award-winning star and creator of

delivers an impeccable double performance, first as Drunk Girl Who Throws a Drink on Ted, and then as That Girl, but Sober.
