How I Met Your Mother Character Endings Ranked Worst To Best

The ending to this crafty little show is a bit controversial among fans. At least each character got their own individual sendoff. Here are the most important How I Met Your Mother character endings, ranked from worst to best.

As How I Met Your Mother's resident lothario, Barney Stinson, who's always clad in a crisp suit and will stop at nothing to bed every woman in New York, seems like he'll never change his wild ways. However, as the show progresses, Barney, who seemed the least likely of anyone to settle down, realizes he's in love with Robin. To Ted's great shame, the feeling is — shockingly — mutual. After several seasons of tumultuous on-again, off-again relationships, the two finally tie the knot, and their wedding weekend becomes the sole focus of How I Met Your Mother's ninth and final season.

In the series finale, Barney goes through a ton of difficult changes, and neither the character nor the audience is really given any time to process them. After three difficult years of marriage, he and Robin apparently get divorced. Robin returns to her career, and Barney returns to his old ways, until something completely unexpected happens: He gets a girl pregnant and becomes the father of a daughter.

Suddenly, Barney becomes a judgmental horror, yelling at women in bars about what their fathers might think and leaning into the "overprotective dad" vibe with the zeal of a convert. Barney turns out to be a layered, complex character, but his ending is oversimplified at best and flat-out offensive at worst.
