Let's face it, nobody really watches How I Met Your Mother for the story of how Ted Moseby met his future soulmate, do they? The whole show is carried by the sheer force of Neil Patrick Harris' pinnacle of awesomeness, Barney Stinson. Smooth operator, Lover and Bro, Barney is everything a 20-something single man would want to be-and everything they would want their best friend not to be. Sly, manipulative, immature, riddled with personal issues and hopelessly addicted to women and gambling, Barney would be utterly exhausting and impossible to be around in real life. Besides, you wouldn't want to be a wingman for a guy who rocks a suit far better than you ever could, would you?
