Barney Stinson is one of the main characters on "How I Met Your Mother". He was known as the selfish playboy to his friends, but during the whole show, we see him as the comic relief with a funny and good side. Here are the reasons why he is the best character.

1. Barney knew how to cheer up with confidence.

2. Even though he was notoriously known for being anti love throughout the series to his friends, he always had a soft spot.

3. He was the reason for many of Ted's epic stories.

4.Every time he made a play from the Playbook to get with somebody that would be dumb enough to fall for it.

5. What happened on the day when Lily gave birth to Marvin.

6. The challenges he would always do, like the Murtaugh list.

8. He had the "highest of fives" for his friends.

9. The way that he was with Robin when he got serious about her.

10.Barney Stinson's theories, like the Ewok one.

11. Deep down, Barney always had a heart and would do the right thing by his friends in the end (most of the time.)
