Barney Stinson is awesome. How do we know? Because the supremely confident womanizer played by Neil Patrick Harris on How I Met Your Mother never lets anyone forget it. The show may be about the road to romantic love for main character Ted Mosby, but the most entertaining parts of any episode are the hilarious one-liners and bold proclamations made by Barney. Here’s a selection of the best Barney Stinson quotes from How I Met Your Mother.
