Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Barney had a wide variety of nicknames including "Barn", "Jack Package" and "Swarles Barkley", but what was Barney's full name?

Answer: Barnabus Stinson

Barney's father was Jerome Whittaker and his mother was Loretta Stinson. "Barnito Supreme" was also one of his nicknames. Somehow I don't think it was an accident his initials were BS.

2. Select the missing word from this famous Barney quote: "When I get sad, I stop being sad and be ______ instead".

Answer: awesome

"True story". He said this to Ted and Robin in regards to Marshall being sad.

3. Before Barney suited up and got a job at AltruCell Corporation, he was a hippie.

Answer: True

After college, Barney worked in a coffee shop with his girlfriend Shannon and they planned to join the Peace Corps and go to Nicaragua. She cheated on him and they did not go, effectively turning Barney into the womanizer he became. AltruCell acquired Goliath National Bank in a takeover.

4. Barney enjoyed gratuitous sex with many women. Which woman in Barney's life did he believe wanted to kill him?

Answer: Wendy the Waitress

Wendy the Waitress worked at MacLaren's Pub. Barney slept with her and dumped her, leaving him with that unsubstantiated belief. Shannon was the woman who broke his heart. Rhonda was his mother's friend to whom Barney lost his virginity when he was 23. Nora was Barney ex-girlfriend, and Robin's co-worker at World Wide News.

5. When Barney had a one-night stand with a woman, he wanted to make sure his apartment was unappealing to women, to scare off relationships. Which choice was NOT one of his woman-repellents?

Answer: Having too many towels, blankets and pillows

Actually, he only kept one towel, blanket and pillow. He eventually found out that Lily was the ultimate woman-repellent, as she posed as his wife.

6. While Barney's apartment had a lot of things to repel women, that was not the case with everything. He also had a life sized "what" in his living room?

Answer: Stormtrooper

The Stormtrooper, from "Star Wars", was actually not placed there in order to drive away women but was rather "just awesome". Barney's apartment was also known as the Fortress of Barnitude and The Heart of Bachelor Country.

7. Which leisure activity was Barney obsessed with talking about and playing?

Answer: Laser tag

He was known for playing too aggressively against the kids at the laser tag arena. At one point, the manager McCraken banned Barney.

Answer: Dr. John Stangel

Dr. John Stangel was Lily and Marshall's fertility doctor. Cab driver and Kristoff Doppelg�nger, an Estonian street performer, were actually Barney in disguise. Pretzel vendor was thought to be a product of Lily's imagination.

Answer: P.L.E.A.S.E.

Barney's job was revealed to literally be P.L.E.A.S.E., which was an acronym for Provide Legal Exculpation and Sign Everything. Ironically, that job was given to him by Greg Fisher, the man who stole his girlfriend Shannon away from him.

10. What I believe to be Barney's funniest character trait was shown in the episode "Say Cheese". The gang was looking through a photo album and Robin noticed something about Barney. What was it?

Answer: He never took a bad picture

Barney's pose was exactly the same in all of the pictures. He said that he had never taken a bad photo. Barney always looked "drop dead, stone cold amazing", as compared to Marshall who, "just looks dead, stoned, and cold". Robin tricked Barney into removing his suit jacket before the gang took their latest group photo. The finished product showed Barney in his usual pose.
