"Challenge accepted." I am writing about Barney Stinson, my ultimate favorite character from How I Met Your Mother. Barney believes there is no greater thing than hitting on a woman. He hates marriage and kids. This seems very weird for a thirty year old man because this is when a man should be settling down with a family. Barney is in the prime of his life, living his life in order to date the most beautiful women in the world, and this is his story.
Barney grew up in New York with his single mom and an African-American brother named James. His mother keeps the identity of Barney's father a secret. His mom told him that his father was Bob Barker, and he believed this his whole life until he met his real father, a driver instructor.
Barney's life consists of four things: suits, himself, women, and laser tag. Barney makes up many nicknames for himself such as "The Barnacle". Barney's theory is that no man looks good unless he's wearing a suit; he lives for suits. Never does he not wear a suit; his closet is all suits and ties. He doesn't wear a real suit to bed though, he wears one that is made out of silk. One of his catchphrases is "Suit up!", which no one acknowledges. Barney believes himself to be the most awesome person in the world, but others believe he is very inappropriate all of the time. He hits on women constantly using the “Playbook-a book” loaded with different pick-up lines, and the Bro Code, a code that he bases his whole life on, (which he contributed to immensely). His favorite hobby is laser tag and seldom he is defeated.
Barney's main goal in life is to teach Ted how to live, and Ted doesn't want to be taught this because Barney just is trying to keep Ted from getting married. Barney has had very few real relationships in life, but he's been in love with Robin multiple times. They don't work together very well because they both have huge egos that get in the way. Lily tries to help him get a girlfriend, but he refuses to be in a relationship with anyone for more than one night. Marshall and Barney become best friends off and on, but spend more time fighting over who is Ted's best friend. Although Barney is very strong willed, deep down he is caring and sensitive.
In How I Met You Mother, viewers learn quickly of Barney’s gratuitous and absurd ways to pick up women. Barney is by far the most amusing and immature character in the television world. Barney truly is "Legen-wait for it-dary".
