10 How I Met Your Mother Moments That Prove Barney Is REALLY Ted's Best Friend
6. Barney Is Responsible For Ted Meeting Tracy & Robin
Tracy and Robin are Ted’s greatest loves. Tracy is the mother of his children and Robin is the on and off girlfriend Ted ran to when he got widowed. Incidentally, Barney Stinson was responsible for Ted meeting both of them.
He meets Robin at McLaren’s thanks to Barney’s second-best catchphrase, “Ha… ve you met Ted?” Ted would never have worked up the courage to approach Robin without the timely intervention of The Barnacle.
Ted and Tracy have unknowingly crossed each other’s paths before but only really meet, talk, and connect on the night of Barney’s wedding. That’s two soulmates for Ted Mosby, all thanks to Barney Stinson. And dozens of casual lays as well, also thanks to Barney Stinson.
