―Barney's parting farewell to Justin and Kyle before going to get married.
Barney Stinson (born 1976), is one of the five main characters in How I Met Your Mother, portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris.
Childhood
Barney was born sometime between 1974 and 1976 and grew up in Staten Island. In "Columns" set in 2007, Barney gives his age as 31 further confirming his birth year is 1976. In "The Drunk Train" Marshall states Barney is a Scorpio which places his birthday between October 23 - November 21, 1976. Barney was raised by his single mother, Loretta Stinson, along with his older half-brother, James. As kids, James and Barney would often ask their mother why they were of different races (James is black), but she would lie or change the subject. Barney often asked who his father was. In a bid to get him to stop asking, she would claim it was TV show host Bob Barker, leaving Barney distracted by this possibility for years. On 23 July 1981, Barney's biological father, Jerome Whittaker, took Barney to the National History Museum, under the guise "Uncle Jerry". Then six-year-old Barney knocked down the blue whale hung from the museum's ceiling by throwing a triceratops' rib at it. When they returned home, Loretta was furious. Barney was told Jerry moved away permanently. The last words his uncle told him before he left were "Never stop partying". Throughout his childhood, Barney was constantly lied to by his mother to protect his feelings; for example Barney was told by his mother that he couldn't play basketball because he was too good, and it wasn't fair for the other kids, but in reality, his coach knew Barney wasn't good enough for the team. Barney was not a popular child and was picked on. In seventh grade, Barney was bullied by Matthew Panning, who bragged about how he had sex with 100 girls. In response, Barney told Matthew Panning that he would one day sleep with 200 girls, a promise he eventually fulfills, much to adult Matthew's disgust. As Barney grew up in the city, he never learned how to drive and was terrified to do so. It was revealed in The Leap, that Barney had confessed to Lily at some point that, in his early life, he'd wanted to become a violinist.
Early Adulthood
In 1998, Barney had graduated college and was working with his girlfriend, Shannon, in a coffee shop. Barney had grown up to be a hippie. He had planned to join the Peace Corps and go to Nicaragua with Shannon. They reveal they planned to lose their virginity to one another only after they got married. After Shannon did not show up for their departure to Nicaragua, Barney returns to the coffee store. When she sees he's back, she tells him that her father, who was still financially supporting her, wouldn't allow her to leave and told him to go on without her. As Barney was leaving, he decided to go back to the coffee shop to try convince her one more time. When he returns, he discovered she was cheating on him with a businessman named Greg, who Barney had previously served as a customer, and who humiliated him for being a hippie. Greg tells Barney the key to picking up women is to have money and suits. Heartbroken, Barney films himself singing a song to convince Shannon to take him back, but she and Greg continue to humiliate him. Barney runs from the coffee shop distraught. As he walks alone crying, he is given a brochure about a suit sale. He adapts his dress style and dating personality to match that of Greg's, the man who took Shannon away from him. At an unknown time between 1998 and 2001, Barney quits his job at the coffee shop and becomes an employee of AltruCell Corporation, a highly corrupt corporation, while secretly working as an insider for the FBI. His work as a plant leads to Greg being arrested. Barney goes to James for advice, sometime after losing Shannon. James tells Barney that he needs to lose his virginity and suggests that he loses it to their mother's 45-year-old friend Rhonda French, who would constantly talk about the guys she slept with in front of them and had the nickname "The Man Maker". Barney slept with Rhonda, losing his virginity at the age of 23.
In 2001, Barney met Ted Mosby in the men's bathroom at MacLaren's. At the urinal, Barney told Ted a fake story about this being the first time he took his deaf brother out since their mother died and how he puts his dreams on hold to take care of him. Ted believed the story, which surprised Barney and admitted that he made up the story while peeing. Barney asked Ted for his name and before leaving the bathroom he told Ted that he likes him.
Fifteen minutes later, Barney sat down next to Ted and told him that he's going to teach him how to live. After which he introduced himself and reminded Ted that they met at the urinal. Barney then told Ted to lose his goatee, get a suit, and to not even think about getting married until he's 30 years old. Barney then told Ted to be silent for the next five minutes as a blonde woman, named Audrey, arrived. Barney then told Audrey that Ted is his deaf brother, Edward. He then became frightened when Audrey started talking to Ted in sign language. Ted surprised Barney when he replied back in sign language. Barney believed that Ted went along with Barney's lie and got Audrey to give Barney her number. Even though the number was fake, Barney considered it a sign that he and Ted were meant to be each other's wingmen forever. The gang often ponders why they are friends with Barney but do not exclude him from the group. Soon after, Barney met Marshall Eriksen and Lily Aldrin. Barney proceeds to run the same play on Marshall, trying to "teach him how to live" by picking up women. He unknowingly challenges Marshall to pick up Lily (who he hasn't met yet) and is stunned when Marshall succeeds within seconds. Marshall reveals Barney agreed to do anything Marshall asked of him after that point until he realized Marshall already knew Lily.
Season 1
Barney's actions affect the future of the entire gang in Pilot. Using his "Have you met Ted?" icebreaker, he introduces Ted Mosby to Robin Scherbatsky. Ted's infatuation, along with his failed attempt to make Robin his girlfriend, would lead to her becoming a permanent member of the gang. Although Ted decides to continue pursuing Robin, Barney tries to convince Ted to do otherwise. In Sweet Taste of Liberty, Barney convinces Ted to break the routine of going to MacLaren's Pub and instead takes him to an airport to meet women at baggage claim. After meeting two seemingly available women going to Philadelphia, Barney and Ted board the plane, only to find out in mid-flight the women they followed already have boyfriends. When they land, they are detained because they left their suitcase at the baggage claim, causing airport security to suspect terrorist activity. Eventually, they're released and they met a security guard that guarded the Liberty Bell, which gave Barney the idea he and Ted should lick it and be the only two people to have ever had licked the Liberty Bell. Barney explains that Ted has to do crazy things sometimes in order to achieve exciting things in life. Ted agrees and they lick the Liberty Bell. In a later bid to help Ted move on from Robin, Barney would take Ted to the Victoria's Secret Halloween party (Slutty Pumpkin). Another time he has Ted drink five shots rapidly, so he'll stop thinking about Robin and act on impulse. This leads Ted to hook up with Trudy in The Pineapple Incident. After Ted gets into a relationship with Victoria, Barney no longer wants to be a wingman for Ted. In Zip, Zip, Zip, Barney chooses Robin to replace Ted as a temporary bro/wingman. Both he and Robin bond after Barney learns more about her, such as her knowledge of cigars and how they both cheated in Battleship as kids, and they play laser tag together. Seeing how compatible their personalities are, Barney asks Ted if he would mind if he slept with Robin. After Ted gives his "blessing", Barney turns down a girl that Robin hooks him up with so he can be with her instead. Robin takes him back to her apartment to play Battleship, but Barney interprets "play Battleship" as sex. Robin is initially disturbed by the offer but agrees when Barney explains how much sense they make together. She becomes upset after Barney explains that Ted didn't mind that Barney was making a move on her. Barney notices this and realizes that Robin has developed romantic feelings for Ted. After realizing this, Barney stops his pursuit and plays Battleship with Robin, promising to not tell Ted her secret. In Game Night, the rest of gang and Victoria learn more about Barney's traumatic past after Lily runs into his ex-girlfriend, Shannon, and she is given the tape that Barney made Shannon to win her back. After telling his early adulthood story (as above), he tells the gang that after he ran out on them when they were watching his video, he tracked Shannon down. When he and Shannon met, Shannon told him her relationship with Greg didn't last and she now has a son. After Barney tells the others how happy he is that he's not with Shannon and a father, he tells them that he slept with her. Lily doesn't believe him at first and believes that his meeting with Shannon had him question his lifestyle, until Barney shows her the video of them having sex that he took with his cellphone. In Cupcake, Barney tricks Marshall into buying an extremely expensive suit that he can't afford so he'll work with him at his company. Although Marshall initially refuses, he has no choice but to take the internship position in the legal department at Barney's company when Lily ruins an expensive wedding dress. In Life Among the Gorillas, when Marshall starts his internship, Barney helps him fit in when he learns that Marshall gets made bullied by his coworkers. In Come On, when Ted decides to ruin Robin's camping trip with Sandy Rivers so he can finally win her over, he asks Barney to contact an ex-lover of his, Penelope, so she can teach him how to do a rain dance. After Ted does a rain dance for hours, Barney tries to get him to stop and tells him that it won't. When Ted starts yelling at the "universe" and finally rains, Barney is surprised and yells, "Oh, come on!". He is later seen hooking up with Penelope at MacLaren's.
Season 2
Barney is initially upset for Marshall after Lily leaves him to attend an art fellowship in San Francisco, but gets excited when he realizes that this might me the only time that he, Ted, and Marshall are single at the same time. His happiness is short-lived though when he realizes that Ted and Robin are now a couple. In The Scorpion and the Toad, Barney takes a single Marshall out to meet women at bars. Unfortunately, every time Marshall starts to get comfortable and is doing well with the woman, Barney impresses them with magic and sleeps with them instead. Marshall does get his revenge on Barney, but having Lily pose as pair twins that he gave chlamydia to while he tries to take home a pair of twins at MacLaren's. In Brunch, Barney meets Ted's parents, Virginia and Alfred, for the first time. Barney seems to have impressed the two of them more than Robin, which irritates her greatly. He then reveals to Ted that his dad made out with Wendy from MacLaren's. This caused Ted to confront his father and learn that his parents are divorced and that his mother is currently dating someone else. When Ted, Robin, and his parents went outside to talk, Barney mentioned to Lily and Marshall that he had forgotten that Alfred had told him that he was divorced. In World's Greatest Couple, due to Lily's awful apartment, she asks Barney to stay at his place. Barney is hesitant, but seeing how desperate she is; he allowed her to stay one night in his apartment. The next day, an unemployed "hippie chick" that Barney had a one-night stand with was resistant to all his woman-repellents that he had in his apartment (his professionally-lit porn collection, having no food or drinks in his refrigerator, his toilet seat that automatically goes back up, and having only one towel, blanket, and pillow). Barney didn't know what to do, but she left on her own when Lily walked through his front door and Lily thought she was his wife. After realizing that Lily is ultimate woman-repellent, he offered Lily the chance to stay in his apartment indefinitely as long as she posed as his wife to get rid of his one-night stands after he's done with them. Lily accepted and eventually was able to get Barney to change his apartment to make it more comfortable for her, but told him it was to make their fake marriage more believable. Two weeks passed, after buying his bed brand new Italian sheets and pillows for his bed, he, instead of going out, joins Lily on his bed and watches Letterman with her. They fall asleep, but scream when they wake up in the morning. Barney initially thinks they slept together, but Lily looks under the covers and tells him that they just fell asleep. But Barney becomes even more disturbed because he slept in the same bed as a woman and didn't make a move and accuses her of "spooning" him against his will. He goes on saying that because they redecorated his place, stayed in on a Friday night to watch Letterman, and slept together but didn't have sex that can only mean that they're in a relationship. Lily is amazed at what Barney thinks is a relationship then explains she thinks that he's terrified by the idea that he let down his guard around her and let her in. Barney quickly agrees and tells her to leave. She says that he can't kick her out, but she did leave after he agreed to give her all new things he bought to redecorate his apartment. In Slap Bet after the rest of the gang learn that Robin doesn't like malls, Barney and Marshall argue over the reason why. Barney believes it's because Robin did porn in Canada, while Marshall believes it's because she got married in a Canadian mall. They decide to do a slap bet based on whose right and make Lily the Slap Bet Commissioner. Marshall slaps Barney when Robin told Ted that she was married, but Barney slaps him back three times after it's revealed that she lied and that Marshall tried to hide that fact from him. After Barney gets a hold of the Robin Sparkles video and plays it for the gang, Barney slaps Marshall because it starts out like porno. Robin continues the video showing that it's a music video and Robin was a teenage, Canadian pop star. Because Barney prematurely slapped Marshall, Lily gives him the choice of receiving ten slaps immediately or five slaps that are open to Marshall for all eternity. Barney chooses the five slaps option. Later, while watching the music video again, Marshall surprisingly slaps Barney using up the first slap. Marshall uses the second slap of the In Stuff, Barney hurts Lily's feelings after telling Lily his honest opinion that her play was awful. When Lily tells him that she would've said something nice if it was his play, which Barney takes on as a challenge. Later, Barney has the rest of the gang come and see his one-man show called, Suck it Lily. Eventually, Lily cracks and admits that it's awful. Even though he proved Lily wrong, Barney obviously shows that he wants to perform the second act to his play. Lily convinces the rest of the gang to stay for Barney's second act. Later, while Barney is performing the second act, Marshall walks up to Barney and uses the second slap of Slap Bet. In Moving Day, when Ted is about to move into Robin's apartment, Barney attempts to convince Ted not to do it. Ted tells Barney that this going to happen so he might as well help move out his things. Barney agrees, but he then leaves and steals the rental moving truck, which was filled with most Ted's possessions. Later, Barney calls up Ted and forces him to hand out and bros' night out. Although hesitant to admit it, Ted enjoyed hanging out with Barney. Barney also made him realize that Ted and Robin aren't ready to live together. In Bachelor Party, ignoring Marshall's pleas for a normal bachelor party, Barney interferes with Ted's bachelor party plans and ruins the party. A furious Marshall questions why the two of them are even friends. After hearing this, Lily reveals that Barney secretly came to San Francisco and bought Lily a plane ticket back to New York and told her to come back since Marshall is the best man he knew and it wouldn't be long till another woman would see that. Marshall, touched for what Barney did for him and Lily, made Barney and Ted co-best men for his wedding. In Showdown, Barney is chosen to be on the Price is Right. Noticing how obsessed he is with being perfect for the show, the gang asks him why he needs to be perfect. Barney reveals to the gang that his mother told him when he was a boy that Bob Barker is his father. Later on, the entire gang is watching the Price is Right episode that Barney is in. Barney wins every single prize, all of which he gives to Marshall and Lily as wedding gifts. At the end of the episode, Barney is about to tell Bob Barker that he is son, but instead congratulates him on 35 years of hosting the show. The gang asks Barney why he didn't tell Bob Barker the "truth", which he answers that it would upset him. In Something Borrowed, after several disasters occur right before Lily and Marshall's wedding, they decide to get married outside and before their actual wedding ceremony. Barney, who is licensed to legally marry couples, marries Marshall and Lily with Ted and Robin being the only witnesses. In Something Blue, Barney learns that Robin and Ted have been withholding a secret from the rest of the gang. Barney, determined to find out the secret, eventually comes to the conclusion that Robin is pregnant. Barney becomes upset at the idea of Ted being a father and missing out on great adventures to take care of the child. Ted and Robin then reveal the truth that the two of them broke up. Barney is at first upset for Ted, but quickly excited after Ted tells him that he'll need a wingman.
Season 3
With Ted single again, Barney resumes his position as Ted's wingman and tries to get him over his breakup with Robin. On Thanksgiving, Barney receives the third slap of the slap bet that he lost to Marshall, who renamed the day as Slapsgiving. Barney would then get into a slump of his own when he reunites with Rhonda French, the woman who took his virginity. His confidence is destroyed and gets "the yips" when he learns that his sexual encounter with Rhonda wasn't memorable and that his brother James had to have sex with her first before she slept with him. He would later regain his confidence after he sleeps Rhonda again and she tells him that he really did "rock her world". Barney would run into more trouble after an unknown woman keeps foiling his attempts to sleep with new women. Even after tracking down and "apologizing" to the four women he treated the worst to, he still couldn't figure out who the unknown woman was. Later, he would comfort Robin after being dumped by her ex-boyfriend, Simon, again. This would lead to him betraying Ted after he and Robin sleep together. Filled with guilt, Robin would tell Ted, which leads him to end his friendship with Barney completely. While trying to get over his destroyed friendship, Barney learns that the unknown woman is Abby and the two bond over their "hatred" towards Ted. They pretend to be in a relationship to anger Ted, but the plan fails. In the season finale , Lily informs Barney that Ted was involved in a car crash. As soon as he hears this, Barney left his business meeting and ran all the way to the hospital. When he makes it to the hospital, Barney is hit by a bus and put in a full body cast. The rest of the gang find him in the hospital and Barney begs Ted if they can be friends again. Ted, touched by Barney's actions, tells him that they're more than friends, they're brothers and the two hug. After Ted left to find Stella, Marshall asked Barney what his last thoughts were in his near-death experience. Although Marshall and Lily believed his last thoughts would be about about boobs, money, and suits, it's shown that his last thoughts were about Robin.
Before the start of the series and before he met the rest of the gang, Barney was somewhat of a hippie. He wanted to join the Peace Corps, was disgusted when men treated women like objects, and wished to wait to lose his virginity to his college girlfriend, Shannon, until after the two married. His personality radically changed when he caught Shannon cheating on him with a man named Greg. His current mannerisms and dress sense are based on the man who took Shannon away from him
When trying to persuade Lily to paint a nude portrait of him, Barney says "We knew we could torture Marshall because he has shame. I do not. In my body, where the shame gland should be, there's a second awesome gland. True story." Robin (in Desperation Day), Lily (in Knight Vision), and Nora (in The Naked Truth) describe Barney as a "sociopath". He is an extreme womanizer, not content unless he is pursuing his latest conquest - not only that, but Barney extends his womanizing nature to everyone else he knows, considering Marshall to be unimpressive when they first met because he'd only slept with one woman in his life, and declared that he would make all of Marshall's decisions for him. Barney has no problem lying or using extremely ridiculous methods to charm women. Along with being proud and very open about the sex he has and his collection of pornography, he doesn't see anything wrong about secretly video taping and taking pictures of the women he sleeps with. He did mention to Robin that he watches the videos to study himself more, like how athletes study game tapes. He also seems to dislike the idea of owning a "little, black book" and instead has a scrapbook filled with the pictures of women he has slept with. Barney does not care at all what happens to his one-night stands as long as he doesn't have to see or talk to them again. Barney's obsession with sleeping with women is so big that he even wrote a book about all his strategies he's created called "The Playbook".
In The Drunk Train, it is mentioned that Barney may have attended MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and displays a working knowledge of advanced mathematics.
Barney is very driven to achieve what he wants and will go to great lengths to make it happen. He takes comments such as "No one can do this" as a challenge, announcing "Challenge Accepted!". He will even take an entire year to fulfill a challenge even if the person who "challenged" him doesn't even remember, as seen when Barney took a year to get Ted to grow a mustache in Ten Sessions. Barney even has a gambling problem that he cultivated after Marshall made a bet with him one Super Bowl Sunday revealed in Monday Night Football. He frequently makes bets and tries to make them for exorbitant sums of money until the others remind him that it's ridiculous. In Atlantic City, it's shown that he once blew his life savings on gambling. His stubbornness and will to succeed even includes things he does not like doing, such as being named Volunteer of the Year while doing court-required community service in Belly Full of Turkey, or suddenly singing backup to Marshall's song You Just Got Slapped, making his friends laugh, despite still feeling the pain from Marshall's slap.
Barney tells fake history lessons, complicated lies, and deceptions with total confidence, and stubbornly sticks by even if they are completely nonsensical and over-exaggerated. He expects his friends to believe everything he says, as most of the women he picks up are extremely gullible. When his friends do point Barney is lying, or obviously don't believe it he adds "True story". He also has a pathological and compulsive tendency to always know the truth, even if he has no care of the subject which he has to know about. For example, he pestered Ted and Robin at Lily and Marshall's wedding to tell him they were actually broken up and later the sex of their baby.
Barney is also shown to be very persuasive at times. In Cleaning House, he managed to talk the rest of the group into helping him pack up the stuff at his childhood house as a two-day job despite the others claiming there is no way he could talk them into it. This is also shown by his history of seducing women with fake, even ridiculous, aliases including Barack Obama Jr. or Neil Armstrong, and according to him, getting a stripper to pay him for a lap dance. However, he does not always succeed, as he fails in getting out of a speeding ticket despite numerous deliberate attempts whereas the other members of the gang have done so.
Prior to Unpause, almost nothing is known about Barney's career other than that he works for AltruCell Corporation, then Goliath National Bank. Whenever asked what it is he does for a living, he always shakes off the question by laughing and saying "Please...".
It is assumed that he is a high-ranking member in the company. He has said that he knows so much about the company's dirty secrets, he won't ever be fired, (Mosbius Designs), although he was almost fired in the start of 2010 because he was blamed for the failure of a big merging. (Perfect Week)
He was head of GNB's search committee in 2008, hiring Sven and then Ted to design the new GNB headquarters, he also has the power to change ATM charges to Freedom charges (Woooo!). When the project was scrapped (Old King Clancy) and then brought back in 2010, Barney was still in charge of hiring the architect. (Unfinished)
His job also entails firing potentially hostile employees. (Old King Clancy)
It's hinted that his job may include illegal activities, especially considering he's never told any of the gang exactly what his job is. Marshall, after reading some of Barney's documents, is afraid of what they did to the drinking water in Lisbon, and notes that if the contracts aren't carried out precisely, they will be at war with Portugal. When Barney is afraid he might die, he tells Lily to take the briefcase under his bed and dispose of it in the East river. (The Bracket)
He works alongside many GNB employees, such as Marshall, Ted, Arthur Hobbs, Blauman and Bilson.
Romantic Interests Friendships
—Warning a girl to avoid Barney in The Playbook' Ted describes Barney as "a complete degenerate" in Third Wheel. His friends love Barney despite, or because of, Lily telling him in The Bracket that "You can not be more evil"; Ted in A Change of Heart encourages Barney to see a cardiologist by saying that "We need you around for a long time. Without you, we'd have to find some other sex-fueled, depraved animal to entertain us."
