I am sure everyone has already seen this video, as I am always a bit late to the game in finding hilarious stuff on the intrawebs.
But I figured this would be right up almost everyone at the SDMB’s alley.
It is a tale of woe, about finding the perfect girl, who has just one fatal flaw.

Cheers!
Heh, not a bad rip off of “How I Met Your Mother”.
I’ve never watched that show. I’m going to have to Netflix it one of these days.
Huh?
Replace Firefly with Star Wars. They did a whole episode where the dude was trying to figure out if the girl he had been dating was “The One”. So he made her sit through a movie of it (She had never seen Star Wars before). Much to his disappointment; she didn’t really care for the show.
Out the door she went.
I still claim that in itself should have been his warning light.
I honestly don’t think I could have a long-term intimate relationship (friendship or partnership) with someone who didn’t at least have SOME prior knowledge and interest in the things I find personally important and fascinating.
That said, I think the song is hilarious. I saw it Wednesday when a friend introduced it during our group tv night.
There’s no excuse not to. It’s available for instant streaming, and they only made one season. You can practically watch it all in one sitting. (and then of course there’s the movie Serenity which ties up the loose ends, but don’t watch that until you’ve watched all of Firefly. You’ll appreciate it much more)
“She didn’t even cry when Wash died”.
Yep. That’s a deal breaker.
I remember Stella watching SW, but lied about it and said she liked it, then ended up leaving Ted at the altar (ol’ Teddy boy dodged a bullet there!). Was there another?
Plus she plays Alliance in WoW - major red flag, dude. 
(For the Horde!)
He never died in Firefly. Just sayin’.
Horde girls got it goin’ on (proud femorc checking in, tyvm). Except the blood elves. Steer clear of the blood elves.
Good. That works for me. We can dislike Firefly in unity.
Damned right. By the looks of him, it’s a good thing she doesn’t like Firefly.
Ick.
no you got it right.
I was working of a distant memory and got the details wrong.
Ditto, I’ve never understood the cult of Firefly, even though I did like Serenity.
A bit much to have to sit through an awful series, to appreciate a decent movie.
He pulls out Serenity during their weekend movie marathon and she asks if they really have to watch it. I’m guessing that plus his statement about Wash means she’s seen it and loathes it.
They also did it on Friends. A guy dumped Phoebe because she fell asleep during This Is Spinal Tap.
Quite a few independent musicians have started offering bonuses to fans if you help fund their work - I really love his bonuses for funding his album.
You’re right - Ted didn’t find out that Stella didn’t like SW until some time after being left at the altar - Marshall told him, and when Ted was doubtful, Marshall suggested that Ted “Search your feeling - you know it to be true”
