Barney was hired by criminals to be a fall guy, but he was secretly an FBI informant, so he was being paid by the criminals to gather evidence on the criminals for the FBI

He says “years later” while simultaneously having a screen grab where it literally says two months later😂

It was really impressive how you stretched this to 15 minutes but I don't have that much time

Before the reveal of "PLEASE", I thought it meant he was an escort.

Might also explain how he dated two U.S. Attorneys General.

What’s funny is I started watching this show in Ramadi, Iraq in 2008 when I was deployed with 2nd Battalion 9th Marines. Someone had the 2 seasons on dvd and we worked out a schedule to watch the show on a small tv. Sometimes we would have 20 Marines watching 5 episodes in a row and then go on post. The Marines on post would then watch the 5 episodes we watched and we would talk about the episodes later. Fun times, Semper Fi.

Answered in the first 23 seconds, with a 15 minute follow-up. I appreciate videos with this structure.

Ted was the narrator of the story and he did not know anything about Barney's job, so the audience could not know either. Ted did not have any of Barney's knowledge of his job. The audience did not get to know any more about Barney's job than Ted. Since Ted was narrating the story to children, Barney's need to wear a suit might have been child-friendly code for a drug addiction or alcoholism. There was a scene where Barney goes into a withdrawal when he was not wearing a suit and he goes to the bathroom to put on a suit. He was acting like a drug addict there. The audience was free to think that.

Seriously one of the best plot twists ever! Such a bold move to even reveal his job and by that ending the running gag after 9 seasons. And the fact that it's connected to his origin story and that he had a very personal agenda the whole time makes it so much more satisfying.

I actually overheard a twenty year old describing his job a parkrun.<br><br>(My words) He was basically the Australian jailable entity for a foreign company.
