@@factoryofdivisiveopinions No scripted work can be good without a good script. If the script is poor, good actors, director, producers etc. can't make it good.

@@andrewjones575 Exactly! Yet most people just credit the actors. Not saying they don't help, they do a lot. But a good script is always important.

And is sad to know that this great character, who is in itself a criticism of chobinism, wouldn't exist in the 2020's as most people wouldn't get the joke. Barney would get canceled faster that you can say PC.

[@PepoGuerrero12]

You forgot Barney’s one rule: “New is always better”

[@kodychaput7311]

It’s a RULE not a Law. Like how the Golden rule is to go to Jail for a bro. I have the book of laws and Rule called the Bro Code. It’s an actual book

Barney taught me more about life than every other philosopher. He's a legend.

[@ajestersgrace3902]

Now this is a philosophy I can get behind. But what's it called? Who's the founder of it for that matter? That's right; it's called The Bro Code, by Barney Stinson

I can totally confirm the Platnium rule is one to live by. I made a mistake once and began flirting with this coworker I had at a job once and after a few months, it just got awkward between us. It got bad enough that both her and I had to work different shifts so we wouldn't butt heads.

Same.

[@katarinakrnjevic8183]

Barney was definitely one of best characters of the 2000s , Neil's portraits Barney so well, i haven't seen better character for long time in sitcom.

[@RonnieBarzel]

The thing that really sells Barney’s “history lesson” on the 3 Days Rule is Cobie Smolders’ reaction next to him. That looks like real “actor cracking up” and not just her as the character.

[@amangoyal923]

Bro, Smulders and Harris were told to react extra, to hint the spark generating between them, which would explode in season finale, resulting into them dating

[@chekaweedie]

@@amangoyal923 Yes, because it's impossible that in a sitcom of 9 seasons there would be some improvised details at all.

The mermaid theory also lends to the "office hot" phenomenon where you find a coworker attractive at work, but if you saw them out in public you may not think they are as hot. It's only because you see them all the time.

The ones that stick with me the most are the hot-crazy scale,the date time continuum and by far the what makes a legendary moment quote. That’s something you can live by.

[@sdmurphy20]

You can tell this show came out right before the me too movement 😂

[@iDEATH]

There's so much in that show they couldn't have done in 2016+ especially. Not just the men, but in how the women in the show had their own sexual agency they were responsible for. No one got a free pass, and that's one of the reasons it's one of my favourite sitcoms.

[@bigfudge2031]

I missed the part where Barney abused anyone.

[@dawnjensen6560]

I always felt they got away with Barney being the way he is because he’s played by a gay man. If it was anyone but NPH it wouldn’t have worked.

Either way things would eventually go to hell anyway, so this is not an issue, even a half decent date will have the person thinking about the other for more than 48 hours, so by all means wait, NOBODY wants to date a needy, desperate person.
