It's simple, Barney has a deal with all camera companies where they programmed their cameras with some kind of facial recognition software to scan every photo the camera takes to check if Barney is in frame and to then replace him with a photo saved in the camera's memory that was professionally shot. The facial recognition software has only one flaw, it cannot detect faces which are in the process of sneezing.
Or in the process of hangovers (From Barney s and robins wedding when Barney suffers from a hangover and they take a photo of him and say "Barney might be dead")
Yea the last one should've been perfect too idk why it messed up just because he sneezed and lost his balance lol it should've had him perfect while falling over in her face
I like how Barney can sometimes do just plain impossible things!!! Like appear with his coat on standing up with nothing in his hand except that he's holding his tie despite the fact that he was eating a chip, bending over, and taking off his jacket That is... wait for it... totally... wait for it... LEGENDARY!!!
Ending of this episode where they finally got him completely ruined the WHOLE episode, undermined everything. Whoever made that decision in the writers room needs a slap.
Maybe it has to do with Barney being on guard. You can’t really be on guard when you’re doing an involuntary motion or reflex, like sneezing. And has anyone ever noticed that in most of the pictures, Marshall’s eyes are closed, there are only 3 where his eyes aren’t, and one of them is him squinting.
Wait... how come the younger Barney was wearing suits and stuff. I though Barney started wearing suits all the time after he got his girlfriend stolen by a random dude in a suit.
It's not that hard to believe that Barney went through phases as he was growing up - everyone goes through phases. In the yearbook picture, Barney was probably dressed by his mom, at that time being too young to have his own sense of style. Then he probably became a hippy after hitting pubirty or something.
To me, it would have been funnier, if not even by sneezing, he could get a bad picture. It would have made the joke perfect, and a continuation to it, sometime later. Alas, they took the easy route. The hard route, would have been like in "My name is Earl", where Earl could never take a picture with his eyes open. Ever. And they kept that promise althrought the series...
I agree. He ate a chip,and was bending down but the pictures were still perfect..He sneezes, and it's not?. They should have kept it going, it would have been funnier.
One of things that I really hate about this otherwise great show is that the writers just never gave a Barney a win. They always had to nerf him somewhere.
What would’ve been even funnier if they had kept it going and in the last season when Barney gets drunk on his wedding day and he has to take wedding pictures with Robin and he can’t wake up, they take the wedding pictures anyway and SOMEHOW he looks perfect 😂
I like the Fact that in Season 2 Episode 3 where the Gang had Brunch with Teds Family and they take a photo together, barney has the exact same pose. One of many Foreshadowings.
It always makes me laugh when on sitcoms/sketch shows you see the actors can't hold back laughing. This one here I noticed it while watching the episode for the first time. Then in stuff like SNL when Chris Farley debuted his Matt Foley character, watch that whole sketch and you'll notice David Spade had to hide his face at times.
[20 years later] Robin:”And this is Barney’s bad picture.” Barney:”Is it though?” Robin:”HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? IT WAS JUST HERE! WE ALL SAW IT!” Barney:”I told you. The camera loves me.”
How it should have ended: Barney: "You know cilantro makes me...ACHOO!" *camera flash* Picture shows Barney still managing to get the pose Robin: "OH COME ON!"
That's barneys superpower he always comes out awesome in a photo and the power of saying dibs before anyone and his play book and the bro code and the fake history lessons
It would have been better if they took a good picture at the end. It could have been a great running gag throughout the show. This episode had me in stitches with the whole 'bad picture storyline.'
The thing that gets me is that if Robin wasn't obsessed with breaking Barney's good photo streak, she wouldn't had to go through all the crazy shit for her wedding photos
Sometimes we forget that this is a story being told decades later. Exaggerated story of "these things happened and pics were still awesome." The last one is real. They finally got him to get a really bad one, and he still had it when he told the story. Probably the reason he was telling the story to begin with.
"The camera loves me Robin - more than loves me the camera lusts me. The camera wants to put on some nice lingerie, pop in an Al Green CD, dim the lights, and do all the work as I lie there with my eyes closed."
I call shenanigans on Robin getting Barney in the end. Barney in mid-sneaze is no different than Barney in mid-chip, bent over, or with his jacket off. All are situations where that perfect photo would not have been possible IRL. I choose to believe that Ted misremembers this event and the photo of barney in mid-sneaze doesn't exist, thus proving that Barney Stinson cannot take a bad photo. Lawyered.
I wish they kept this GAG up until Robin and Barney's wedding day, the only day Robin would not want to sabotage Barney's pictue and somehow all their pictures together come out terrible
Huh. I did misspell sneeze (almost did it again right there). But thank you for taking time out of your day to shit on a comment about a "frivolous gag on a comedy show" that was, itself, frivolous and meant to be humorous in nature. Happy Easter!
I just love how in the picture at 1:55 Robin is goes "Yesss!" making it NOT one of her best snapshots while Barney - once again - looks his usual perfect self... :o))
When Barney takes a bad picture, he just decides to not take a bad picture, and take an awesome picture instead. True story.
Yes! "Whenever I start feeling sick, I just stop being sick, and be awesome instead. True story."
Tbh I still think this episode would have been better if Barney STILL managed to get the pose
GreenMoose exactly
Nah
Could’ve been a good running joke throughout the series.
yeah the never to be broken curse / blessing
the last is photoshop¿

Knowing barney and how he is you might be right.
Wait how u know did it sat in the episode?
@@mood-qe8mg nope hes assuming
The true Sherlock is found!
Or in the process of hangovers
(From Barney s and robins wedding when Barney suffers from a hangover and they take a photo of him and say "Barney might be dead")
Imagine if Robin tried to photoshop Barney to make him look bad but he somehow still has a perfect pose after she's done.
"It is physically impossible for me to take a bad picture" XD Barney is a legend
Yeah he is legen......wait for it......dary.
Love how Jason's eyes are closed in every single picture 😂
“You had a chip! Where’s the chip?!” Hahahaha
1:07
He took a chip.... and ATE IT!
@@sayanghosh6996 Nice reference
@@sayanghosh6996 Good one
I love how it is literally impossible to get a bad picture of Barney, with the exception of when he sneezes
He was trying not to break character but epically failing.
I'm always gonna think thr episode would have been funnier if Barney still managed to take a perfect pose even after he sneezed.
Yea the last one should've been perfect too idk why it messed up just because he sneezed and lost his balance lol it should've had him perfect while falling over in her face
The last on is clearly photoshopped, it's impossible to take a bad picture of Barney!
robeisT3hShit unless he is unconscious
Jesse Pinkman nope
He would wake up instantly for the photo and then go back to sleep
Or is it tho?
9 years ago...
Perfect reply
This should have been the ONE thing they made for Barney to be invincible at!!
i couldnt get over the horror music playing every time lol

Nothing and everything is possimpible

Right? I hated that they ruined a good joke.
Ah the 2nd joke in your comment is that they did that to Barney at the end of the series?

And has anyone ever noticed that in most of the pictures, Marshall’s eyes are closed, there are only 3 where his eyes aren’t, and one of them is him squinting.
Did you though?
1:28
You were eating a chip ... WHERES THE CHIP?
Barney is the legend,but Marshall is one of the funniest guys!!
Ur old
Thanks man but im Awesome And Marshall Is lame
@@e33u75 true, im 31
@Arkham Lmao gotta save this comment. See you guys in 8 years ✌️
Wow it has been 11 years, as someone who jus turned 18 and excited to start a new chapter, can you tell me how has it been in the past 11 years?
Last picture is fake, definitely photoshopped.
But u would also need a photo of barney in that pose to be photoshopped right!!
Is it tho? ;)
vamsi krishna not at all. I can take a persons face and make it do all kinds of different shit with photoshop.
Thanks mr obvious
maaweeable
What I love more is that Marshall's eyes are always closed xD
I gotta learn how he does this. Like, no joke I need this 😂
The "bonus" wasn't Barney, that was his second personality: Neil Patrick Harris.
"Is it though?"
Wait... how come the younger Barney was wearing suits and stuff. I though Barney started wearing suits all the time after he got his girlfriend stolen by a random dude in a suit.
Joe Jefferson continuity error
It's normal use social clothes to yearbook
Probably before he became a hippie.
It's not that hard to believe that Barney went through phases as he was growing up - everyone goes through phases. In the yearbook picture, Barney was probably dressed by his mom, at that time being too young to have his own sense of style. Then he probably became a hippy after hitting pubirty or something.
He started wearing suits as an adult, nice clothes don't always mean Suits
To me, it would have been funnier, if not even by sneezing, he could get a bad picture. It would have made the joke perfect, and a continuation to it, sometime later. Alas, they took the easy route.

@@OrigamiMaster06 I disagree. I actually think Barney got away with too much.

i find funnier the fact Marshall always appears in the pictures with his eyes closed
'did you though?' lol
Yo dude you are old af
@@e33u75 or maybe you are too young
@@guilherm33 1:28
You weren't even standing up!!!
I like the Fact that in Season 2 Episode 3 where the Gang had Brunch with Teds Family and they take a photo together, barney has the exact same pose. One of many Foreshadowings.
Thank you for giving us the season and episode of these clips

Then in stuff like SNL when Chris Farley debuted his Matt Foley character, watch that whole sketch and you'll notice David Spade had to hide his face at times.
Can't believe they didn't make an episode about Marshal having his eyes closed in every picture
What about the episode were Ted tells his kids that Marshall sent him emails with photos in them and his eyes were open and horrifying
Did Neil break character? 2:40
wow are you Sherlock Holmes?
lol i never noticed him losin' it in that part. thumbs up for posting that tidbit! lol
Good job putting this together, it's a great episode!
[20 years later]
Robin:”And this is Barney’s bad picture.”
Barney:”Is it though?”
Robin:”HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? IT WAS JUST HERE! WE ALL SAW IT!”
Barney:”I told you. The camera loves me.”
This is one of the reasons why i love How I Met Your Mother
0:21 how does this picture exist and it hasn't been taken yet? She's looking at a picture from the future .
Because this is coming from Ted, I’m sure he’s not telling the truth 100% of the time lol
How it should have ended:
Barney: "You know cilantro makes me...ACHOO!"
*camera flash*
Picture shows Barney still managing to get the pose
Robin: "OH COME ON!"
The prison guards trying to get a bad shot of Luigi be like
OMG how u noticed that he was laughing XD
soo cute, tnx for uploading it
The fact that on his pictures he has a different background
"Is it though?" *BAM! A perfect picture* AWESOME!:)
I imagine robin showing Ted kids Barney bad picture but when they say there’s nothing wrong with it and by robin horror, the picture is perfect
I randomly saw this scene in Star World Tv channel ... Then started watching HIMYM full...
Till now . I have seen the series like more than times....
Love the bonus clip, can't understand how some of these actors can keep a straight face during some of the scenes. I certainly can't
The moment he said "did u though"😂😂
whenever someone takes a bad picture, I simply stop taking the bad picture, and be awesome instead. True story.
That's barneys superpower he always comes out awesome in a photo and the power of saying dibs before anyone and his play book and the bro code and the fake history lessons
Thank you somebody has these pictures
It would have been better if they took a good picture at the end. It could have been a great running gag throughout the show. This episode had me in stitches with the whole 'bad picture storyline.'
The thing that gets me is that if Robin wasn't obsessed with breaking Barney's good photo streak, she wouldn't had to go through all the crazy shit for her wedding photos
Perfect everytime
Nice
Barney Stinson and Neil Patrick Harris, you just had to love both
Basically, barney is a reality warper when someone takes a picture of him xD
Sometimes we forget that this is a story being told decades later. Exaggerated story of "these things happened and pics were still awesome." The last one is real. They finally got him to get a really bad one, and he still had it when he told the story. Probably the reason he was telling the story to begin with.
Thumbs up if actually found this by looking at your recommended videos..
Old person now
Wait but.. the young Barnecle.. it doesn't add up. He began having class and style after his hippie-fase.. This doesn't make sense. Does it though?
Blue Chocolate My thoughts exactly.Its either before that episode or just a plothole.
The camera loves Barney so much that it bent time and space to make all previous photos just as good.
Maybe he's constantly lying? And the truth of Barney will never be known.
It’s picture day at school. Everyone dresses up for picture day.
Hahaha it doesn't make sense
Lol I love how Barney goes "Or is it !" and the photo has the same pose of him looking legendary xD I would be freaked out like Robin though
"The camera loves me Robin - more than loves me the camera lusts me. The camera wants to put on some nice lingerie, pop in an Al Green CD, dim the lights, and do all the work as I lie there with my eyes closed."
Barney never takes a bad picture and Marshall always has his eyes closed
100. This show is awesome, you need to see it.
wouldve been funnier if she still couldnt get the picture even while barney was falling just then but this is still hilarious
Barney probably met a genie and one of his wished was to always take a good picture
If you pause the video in any time, Barney will still look good.
Marshall's face in the pictures tho 😂😂😂😂
The way you put used transitions in between scenes make it look like a soap show LOL
I love blatantly supernatural gags like this.
Barney is Legend wait for it .... Dary
How does he get the photo pose to come out perfectly even when he's doing other things?
*THIS MUST BE THE WORK OF AN ENEMY STAND!!*
I call shenanigans on Robin getting Barney in the end. Barney in mid-sneaze is no different than Barney in mid-chip, bent over, or with his jacket off. All are situations where that perfect photo would not have been possible IRL.
I choose to believe that Ted misremembers this event and the photo of barney in mid-sneaze doesn't exist, thus proving that Barney Stinson cannot take a bad photo.
Lawyered.
It’s awesome how each picture has Marshall looking bad to keep with the gag!
LEGEND.
1:55 Marshalls eyes are open finally 😂
Clearly barney is a speedster. That also explains how he won the marathon in another episode.
Yep, faster than the Flash, he got nothing on Barney
Tbh he is the true winner of the “wrap me in plastic” trend on tiktok. Change my mind.
I wish they kept this GAG up until Robin and Barney's wedding day, the only day Robin would not want to sabotage Barney's pictue and somehow all their pictures together come out terrible
Barney
Quirk: Perfect Picture
Weakness: Sneezing
i wonder how his perfect pictures from his hippie phase look like
Die deutsche Synchronstimme ist echt super, fällt mir gerdae auf. Sie hat große Ähnlichkeit mit der Originalen :3!
Huh. I did misspell sneeze (almost did it again right there). But thank you for taking time out of your day to shit on a comment about a "frivolous gag on a comedy show" that was, itself, frivolous and meant to be humorous in nature. Happy Easter!
Robin: What about from elementary school? Everyone has bad pictures from school.
Barney: Not the Barnacle... ahahahaha
Seriously, the last part just killed the whole thing...
The way he said the camera lusts over me 😂😂
I just love how in the picture at 1:55 Robin is goes "Yesss!" making it NOT one of her best snapshots while Barney - once again - looks his usual perfect self... :o))
maria hill trying to get one over on nightwing. :D
He is alway awesome
NICEE!!!
I HAVENT NOTICED THAT BARNEY LAUGHED THE CRAP OUT OF HIM :D
that episode was the first one I've seen in the series. Barney was then my favorite.
one of my favourite episodes, so damn funny WOOOPAH!
Ep no?
the first episode i ever saw and i was on the floor laughing my ass off at the pictures
love this episode! :D
did you know when barney writes "Awesome" it always says "Awesome™" Its so genious !! :D it is indeed his Trade Mark
2:12 The end of Barney's perfect picture streak
he looks and is perfect!
I never noticed the bonus part, GJ pickin that up :)
I like this ep when the main story is about ted bringing a girl to lily's party while robin trying to get barney a bad photo hahahaha
Marshalls eyes are closed in each picture! Hahaha :D
Barney Stinson: The Perfect Politician
Barney was once blessed by a witch doctor who told him “Africa will never let you take a bad picture”
