Super Bowl: Call Barney Stinson at 1-877-987-6401

call-barney-stinson-super-bowl.jpgDid you get through on "How I Met Your Mother's" Barney Stinson's line during the Super Bowl?

If you dial 1-877-987-6401, the number from the Call Barney Stinson sign "held up" during the Super Bowl, you'll get a lovely recording of Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson setting up a time to meet.

That, Lebron, is how you shoot a free throw. Hey, Barney Stinson speaking. A recording? No, this is really me! Anyway, glad you called 'cause you sound really special. Let's get to know each other. What are your hobbies? Oh my god, I like that too! Wow, I'm really feeling a connection here. You know, I never do this but what the heck. Let's meet up at MacLaren's Bar at oh, say, 3:45 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 12, 2016. I can't wait to meet you. I love you.

We wish there was a real MacLaren's Bar we could visit. We bet that on Monday, Oct. 12, 2016 there'd be at least a few "How I Met Your Mother" fans there.

"How I Met Your Mother" airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Apparently, there will be some follow-up to the Super Bowl phone number on the next episode.

classy. Finally barney got his way to make Superbowl become Le-gen-dary .... lol..

ha! On the day of my birthday in 2016 no less! I will (somehow) be there! Can someone just open a maclaren's and fashion it after the show already??

I had a keen eye and dialed the number immediately. However, I live in Canada and the number does not work here :(

That show rocks!

The number does work in Canada!

Oct 12, 2016 is a Wednesday.

...if you build it, fans will come?

@pakopako: Sure! For instance, whyd'yathink there are so many places called Goodfellas? Look 'em up!

Hey All, not sure if you guys know, there’s actually a second telephone number that was used in the episode, 1-917-555-0197. The number doesn’t work, but not sure why they have two different versions? Also, the 1-877-number doesn’t have that recording anymore. At least, not when I tried to call from CANADA. Yes, I am Canadian, and damn proud of it. HAHA! (BTW, I have picture proof of the 2nd number)

It's a great show and Barney quotes are also awesome...i found some of his top 10 speeches that are great.

When I started reading this article my heart jumped a little. I thought I'd really have a chance to meet him :(
