How I Met Your Mother
Barney Stinson is the suit-obsessed, catchphrase-slinging wingman from the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. He turned lines like "Suit up!" and "Legen— wait for it —dary!" into some of TV's most quoted jokes. Played by Neil Patrick Harris, Barney is loud, cocky, and somehow still lovable. Below are his real quotes, each with the episode and scene it comes from.
“Suit up!”
“Have you met Ted?”
“It's gonna be legen— wait for it— and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is —dary! Legendary!”
“When I'm sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead. True story.”
“Whenever I'm about to do something, I think, 'Would an idiot do that?' And if they would, I do not do that thing.”
“Challenge accepted.”
“New is always better.”
“Think of me as Yoda. Only instead of being little and green, I wear suits and I'm awesome.”
“True story.”
“Daddy's home.”
“A lie is just a great story that someone ruined with the truth.”
“Nothing suits me like a suit.”
“Ted, I'm gonna teach you how to live.”
“Wait for it.”
“Whatever you do in this life, it's not legendary unless your friends are there to see it.”
