Line #3 HoYay/HowIMetYourMother


1	* Barney snogs Marshall in the ''first episode'', just to show he's [[GayBravado secure in his heterosexuality]].
2	* When Ted gets into a car crash, there is a montage showing the people he loves most. Who pops up the most? ''Barney''. A lot of the visions show him in various states of undress, to boot.
3	%%* Barney and his bookie
4	* In the episode "Slap Bet," after Barney tells Marshall that his hand is 'monstrous,' Marshall replies "What did you expect? You've seen my penis."
5	** Lampshaded once more by NPH during the Comic Con panel, while bemoaning having to be slapped by Segel: "Have you seen the size of Jason Segel's hands?! They're mitts! They match his penis! It's ''not'' fun! ''Either'' of them!" ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFw_Nj-ESGo @ 8:50]])
6	%%* This extension of a scene in Season 3's "Third Wheel". ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLp9Co66SKQ#t=3m26s @ 3:26]])
7	* In "Wait For It", when Ted, Barney, Amy, and Amy's friend are in the hot tub, Barney openly ignores Amy's wet, naked friend right next to him, and instead gets into an argument with Amy over Ted.
8	* Barney's Relationship Advice speech to Marshall in "Bagpipes" starts with Barney talking over Marshall's shoulder, and ends with Barney's tongue practically in Marshall's ear while Marshall's eyes are almost completely glazed over. With a running theme in the episode about how hypnotically powerful this speech is to Marshall.
9	* Marshall even has this with a random male from the college he went to with Lily and Ted: "Sweet and cute, but just enough of a jerk so you want to change him."
10	* In "The Perfect Week", Ted slaps Barney's ass reassuringly before he goes to pick up a girl.
11	* Barney got ''really'' close to Ted when grilling him about the laser tag party he thinks Robin's throwing for him. [[spoiler:Given the fact that Barney was actually planning an ice party for Robin and Ted was in on this secret, the "grilling" was quite unnecessary, other than just being for show. [[FridgeLogic So why did he feel the need to get that close?]]]]
12	* In "Ring Up", Barney insists that he was feeling everything that Ted felt while banging a woman because of a "bro-nnection". Turns out the woman was Barney's half-sister which leads to this realization:
13	-->'''Barney''': Now I know why I felt everything you did to her last night! It wasn't a bro-nnection -- it was a ''sis-nnection''! Oh my God! Ted, did you ''(whispers in Ted's ear)''?
14	-->'''Ted''': ''(smirks)'' Big time.
15	** And then later...
16	-->'''Ted''': Barney, let me ask you something. Were you, uh, feeling a little sore this morning? Especially... ''(whispers in Barney's ear)''
17	-->'''Barney''': ''(gasps, flushing)'' FRIENDSHIP OVER!
18	* In "Unfinished", Marshall and Ted suspect Barney of "putting the moves on Ted", a la his flirting technique with women, in order to get Ted to work at the GNB. Marshall says he hopes it's only to get Ted to work there, then backtracks and admits he likes Ted and Barney as a couple. Lily says the same thing later on.
19	* In "The Broath," Barney makes Lily and Robin kiss as an apology to him for meddling in his relationship. After that, he says, "Now the gentlemen-" And Marshall and Ted kiss. He then clarifies: "I was going to say now the gentlemen bump fists. [[LampshadeHanging How long you been holding back on that?"]]
20	* "The Three Days Rule" features Barney and Marshall posing as Ted's love interest Holli, which Ted finds out and pranks them back by texting "I have gay dreams about my best friend". Barney and Marshal then start fighting over who gets to be Ted's secret gay crush.
21	** They also develop a huge mancrush on Stan, a cool guy who fed them romantic lines.
22	* When Robin tells Ted about how they have been posing as Holli, he starts to picture the two bathing, wearing cheerleader uniforms and stargazing together.
23	* Ted and Marshall often playfully flirt with each other like when Ted tells Marshall that 'he's very sexy when he yells'.
