How I Met Your Mother: 10 Greatest Fantasy Sequences

5. The Bracket

How I Met Your Mother
CBS

Although not a fantasy scene per say, the number of ridiculous things that are both done and said during this scene are too crazy not to talk about.

The bracket refers to a list of 64 women that Barney has screwed over throughout the years in terrible ways. He gets the entire gang to sit around with beer to vote through a series of head to heads, deciding which of these girls has been hurt the most.

This scene is outrageous, with the things that Barney has convinced women of being so extremely outlandish. Examples featured in the bracket include saying he only had 12 hours to live, a fake proposal, and even that a woman had his dead wife’s kidney, and therefore they were meant to be together.

The scenarios and images that this scene provides are hilarious because there is no way that anyone would believe them. They do not even have to show us how he did them, and it will still make you laugh out of your seat off of the descriptions alone.
