You know, you have to give barney alot of credit. He remained faithful to be the DD that night despite the temptations.

[@subsamadhi]

Lol but there's no logic here at all he literally had like a dozen options call a cab find someone else. If I won a freaking contest with a tub full of beer I'd be like eff you losers call a cab

Uhhhhh, he literally got drunk and left the car in New York.

[@SergeantExtreme]

Barney deserved this after getting Homer arrested after touring the Duff Beer factory in a previous episode.

[@MetallicAddict15]

Well, if memory serves me right, after this night Barney winds up driving Homer's car to New York and leaving it between the World Trade towers, so he deserved a lot more after that.

[@TheCelticTiger32]

Homer is the entire reason Barney is an alcoholic in the first place, Barney was going to go to Harvard or something an Homer pressured him into a beer before his sats.

[@RaithSienar]

Bad logic. Homer might have "pressured" him into the first beer, but it was Barney's choice to allow himself to be pressured, and then his choice to stay and keep drinking, then it was again further his choice that he flushed his life away in pursuit of more beer.

[@maverik917]

Captain Obvious agreed

[@MateusHonrado]

Captain Obvious This also foreshadows him going sober as seen in a later season 11 episode.

[@Steveman27]

this has got to be the cruelest joke on barney, ever. all those years, he was as heavy of a drinker as he was, as much of a loyal customer of duff beer as he was, and the ONE time he agreed to be a designated driver, that is what he got in return; that torture, the one time in his life for his heavy drinking to pay off, to drink with the duff man and his sexy cheerleaders, the one time for it to pay off for him to have one of the best nights of his life from that, yet he missed out on it.

@SatansLittleGamer Absolutely. If it would have been any other night, then yes, Barney should have remained the designated driver, as hard it would have been for him, but this was no ordinary night. Homer, Lenny, and Carl wouldn't have gone home until some time the nest day, but at least Barney would've had one of the best nights of his life.

[@AndersLindroth]

I work at a bar, and one of the former part-owners at my work place was/is actually an alcoholic. And honestly, Barney had more discipline than he did. The guy at my job couldn't stay sober at all whenever there was alcohol present, although he knew he wasn't allowed to drink. Not only was he always drunk when he worked in the kitchen, but he also stole plenty of beer from the building to bring home. No matter how many reprimands the other part-owners gave him, he continued to drink while working. Finally, the others had no choice but to fire him from the company. The producers of this show certainly didn't exaggerate how hard it can be for an alcoholic to resist drinking at times like this.

[@ElleRoni]

The thing that went wrong with The Simpsons is exemplified in Duffman. Here he's just a guy doing a promotional gig, and 'Duffman' is the performative identity, critiquing the encouragement and romanticization of unhealthy consumption of capitalist commercialism: note Duffman's sagely nods to Barney, prodding a bar full of alcoholics to keep on consuming the shitty product that's killing them. The guy doing the performance of Duffman is going to go back to his regular, boring life after this night and is going to be back on the job the day after that, just like all those other shmoes that need to drown the stress from their alienating jobs in Duff. It's a vicious cycle. That's REAL. Later on, though, Duffman became nothing BUT 'Duffman', a flat cartoon character with nothing but the performance, the real worker behind the performance wiped away, any connection to real social relations between people and work severed. The satire is dead.

[@JonathanRodd]

I understand your point. However it's not like it's the first time they did that with a character. We never see any signs of the person behind bumblebee man.

[@ElleRoni]

Jonathan Rodd Exactly. Bumblebee man was a diegetic television character who the Simpsons watched on their television set, parodying cheap latin american television comedy. Bumblebee man was a television character played by the guy in the suit. Then the commercial collapsed with the real and you get Bumblebee Man, a freak cartoon character wearing a bumblebee costume everywhere for no reason. It's the exact same deal as with duffman/Duffman. Imagine Christian Bale traipsing around in his batman costume and persona. He never takes it off and everyone refers to him as Batman. That's Duffman and Bumblebee Man.
