I first heard this term in How I Met Your Mother when Ted dressed up as a hanging Chad for Halloween. I tried to look it up & Google basically just said that it was a voting ballot that people used to punch holes out of. But I feel like I’m missing something.. in the show, they would make fun of Ted for wearing an outdated costume
& would tell him that “the hanging Chad reference
Is very old” & that most people wouldn’t understand it. Which signifies some sort of inside joke or understanding, but I don’t get it. please! Thank you!

Enough people are explaining what a “chad” is that I won’t bother, but…
If you ever saw the episode of the office where Micheal dressed up as Monica Lewinsky for 3 Halloweens in a row, stretching into the mid 2000’s, it’s the same type of joke. Guy takes a once relevant political joke well past the point where anyone gets it or finds it funny anymore.
