"SUIT UP."

You guessed it, it's the one and only Barney Stinson. No matter how ridiculous Barney acts on the show How I Met Your Mother, he never fails to crack us up as we watch Ted search for "the one" for nine seasons. From playing "Have You Met Ted" to making up bizarre lies to get with girls at the bar, Barney Stinson makes How I Met Your Mother one of the best shows of all time.

1. He is always up for a challenge.

Due to Barney's competitive nature, he feels the need to do ridiculous tasks in order to prove his friends wrong. A few of Barney's challenges are as follows: get a girl's number while talking like a dolphin, do a split in mid-air, pick up a girl while talking like a little boy, get a girl wearing overalls, talk his way out of a speeding ticket, high-five the moon and many many more.

2. Barney never fails to dress himself nicely.

One of Barney's famous quotes is "Suit Up." Barney explains that suits give him his confidence as he takes on the world. Barney always wants Ted to suit up with him for big nights out, but fails to get Ted to cooperate. Barney has special suits consisting of his green suit, Halloween suit, pajama suit, and "The Dibiase" (suit with diamonds).

3. He loves to party.

Barney is always down to go to the club, especially to pick up some hot chicks. When Barney is around, he is the life of the party and our favorite source of entertainment. His nights never go as planned, but since he is "suited up," he knows his night will be LEGEN-WAIT FOR IT- DARY.

4. He actually has a heart.

As much as we believe that Barney will say absolutely anything to pick up a girl, he does love the people that are meaningful in his life. Barney marries Robin for some time and we see a soft side of Barney that we didn't know existed. Despite Barney's insane actions, Barney does come full circle in our hearts.

5. He is girl crazy.

Barney will do absolutely anything to get a girls number. Below are some of Barney's top quotes about girls: -“Girls are like cartons of milk. Each one has a hotness expiration date and you've hit yours. I'm not saying the occasional guy won't still go to the fridge, open you up, take a sniff, shrug and take a sip anyway: but it's all downhill from here.” -"Don't even get me started on girls whose name should end in "ly", but instead end in I. Those girls are like roller-coasters. You've got to wait in a long line, but once you get up there, you just hold on for dear life and hope you don't lose your keys." -"How do you keep a girl from becoming a girlfriend? The rules for girls are the same as the rules for Gremlins. Rule 1: Never get them wet; in other words, don't let her take a shower at your place. Number 2: Keep them away from sunlight; i.e., don't ever see them during the day. And rule number 3: Never feed them after midnight; meaning she doesn't sleep over and you don't have breakfast with her, ever!"

6. He is not afraid to say what's on his mind.

Barney will stick up for his friends, and speak for what he believes in. (most of the time it's for the greater good) Barney will always be our favorite character because he is just flat out hilarious and his personality never fails to bring us on a wild ride throughout NYC. We should all aspire to be as open and adventurous as the one and only Barney Stinson.
