@@dooderman8361The graph he drew for the girl was incorrect. The horizontal line indicates her hotness stayed same and craziness decreased. Which he assigned to the boobjob. In reality boobjob does not keep hotness same, increases it and keeps the crazyness same. Which means it should be vertical line.
Plausible deniability. Whenever this gets mentioned we can point to this TV show as proof that it is just a funny tag from a comedy and doesn't exist. But we know the truth 😁
It bothered me the woman Barney use as example became less crazy just because she lose weight and getting a boob job, yet increase in hot and crazy scale when she stabbed him
i love how the Vicky Mendoza line is also a reference to "The Mendoza Line" in baseball, meaning being above a .200 batting average, meaning you are just good enough for the MLB level.
It's more a line of basic competence in one area that can't be gone underneath (hitting in the case of Mr Mendoza) such that no proficiency in another area (like defense) will be able to make up for if you're worse than that line. Mendoza was an outstanding fielder and an almost equally terrible batter
It makes sense because society creates them that way. If an average woman acted crazy she'd just be rejected by society, she'd either get institutionalized, become a cat lady, or become destitute. On the other hand, hot woman will garner attention no matter how crazy she acts, somebody, somewhere will always put up with a hot woman's crazy behavior because they value her appearance
Kinda wild how you can make a character to make fun of a certain type of person and non-zero number of dumbasses online will be like "this rapist is correct about everything!"
Straight or not, you can still see someone as hot and observe how crazy they can be. Same as you see a beautiful, thought-provoking art piece and the artist is probably a serial killer or eats waffles dipped in gravy for lunch.
I love how being staved with a fork made BOTH her craziness and hotness increase 😂 and yet the ‘loose 10 pounds’ and ‘get a boob job’ only lowered craziness 😂
The fact that for Barney loosing ten pounds doesn't make you hotter, but merely less crazy, and getting a boob job is hardley a matter of attraction, and just an overall representation of sane thought.
Not 'less crazy', just more attractive enough now to deal with the crazy. The more crazy they are, the more hot they have to be to make a hook-up worth it
I think we can all agree that for Barney, a girl getting a breast implants is the pinnacle of sanity. No matter how many times she would stab him with the fork

No getting the boob job made her hot enough for the stabbing to be less of a problem. She was probably Lati- I mean she had a cultural background that encouraged a certain hotblooded nature
I love how barney treads the line with this one. Ladies you don't have to be hot, you don't have to be crazy either. But if you're crazy you better be above that line cuz crazy men only get jail you get whatever you can achieve..
Lol, Barney truly was the trash of the trash 🗑 😂 However, Neil Patrick Harris played the crap out of the character. Such an amazingly talented individual 👏🏿 🥰
Barney stinson is really one of the legendary character among entire tv show industry. Specially bcz of his exceptionally specific detailed dating advices and for his bro code. He really loved his frnds
I wish you understoood that Barney is kind of the butt of the joke, for treating so women absurdly terrible, and that women don’t make the choices they do for you or any other man. The humor of this show is usually Barney is ridiculous and can’t be taken seriously
@@JeremyMacDonald1973that's a tough one I'll go with single not crazy as I could still get lucky and she might be hot but I can't risk her being crazy
@@livb6945 lol... I was referring to the 'hot/crazy' scale of measure for women. I remember, vividly, my brothers and I letting our sisters know about the scale and they, to give them credit, kind of went with 'well... yeah... okay I can kind of see that.' By the way they let us know that women have a 'cute/dumb' scale for guys....
When Barney says she stabbed him with a fork she moved both across and up meaning that even though he didn't find it as hot as he found it crazy he still found being stabbed with a fork hot
Anyone else bothered how the Vicky Mendoza movements should be vertical lines since crazy held constant but hotness increases?
No, because he’s not actually drawing it so why would you expect it to be perfect? The drawing comes after, tracking his movements, If he actually drew it out himself he would draw the lines straight
I rhink it was intentional, in the sense that losing 10 poubds makes her both less crazy and hotter
@@hamhuemandeyt9019 it maks her more hot for him but he only moves the crazy amount to lower not hot amount to higher

Yeah, you're not alone
Its so funny that neil patrick played such a straight man
No it's called acting he's a good actor
He exaggerated it like Cam on modern family. Makes it funnier.
Not just a straight character but a character who regularly sleeps with women as a defining trait
He's only pretending to be gay to get chicks
@@ChewyChicken589long con.
The best explanation ever lmaooo
No he moved his fingers in the wrong orientation
@Jafar_Jafar yes, getting hotter means moving upwards and not to the left. Such an unnecessary mistake for otherwise great joke.

THATS Where I've heard that before! "Mendoza" sounded familiar but I didn't know why. Thanks.

Inside baseball references are fantastic
I genuinely didn't know that 😮
But given that Barney loves Baseball, of course he'd make a sports analogy 😃
I totally missed that! Nice catch my dude!
But remember .... "If they're off the hot crazy scale ... " They are a unicorn. They don't exist."
And if they aren't crazy at all, you are unknowingly dating a dude.
And on the contrary, if they are only crazy, then you got yourself a Karen.

@@Zaane1291 weren't they baptized as "Ken" before?
I love how her “hot” coordinate goes up when she stabs him with a fork.
Her hot scale only went up because of the boob job. The boob job neutralized her stabbing him with a fork.
She got a boob job
And getting a boob job means she is more sane? But equally as hot?
Crazy is hot
It's scary how accurate this is
It makes sense because society creates them that way. If an average woman acted crazy she'd just be rejected by society, she'd either get institutionalized, become a cat lady, or become destitute.

easy way to waste decades of your life.
You mean hilarious?
He's explaining it like it's advanced physics lol😂😂😂
Can we take a moment and realize just how on point the writers of How I Met Your Mother are when it comes to Barney's dating / hookup advice?
Very true
Bro code is full of truth
A lot of it is just misogyny
@@pipnotafatboy They even published it as a book. It's a fun read

Neil Patrick Harris really understood straight guys to a T.
He didn't write the script
Well he's a man soooo...
But that execution was always on point where it didn’t feel forced
Straight or not, you can still see someone as hot and observe how crazy they can be. Same as you see a beautiful, thought-provoking art piece and the artist is probably a serial killer or eats waffles dipped in gravy for lunch.

Well actually, the line Slightly Tilts up on the boob job, Could just be a honest mistake but hey, food for thought
Its funny, because she got hotter when she stabbed him with a fork as well. I guess he is kinky as well.
Not 'less crazy', just more attractive enough now to deal with the crazy. The more crazy they are, the more hot they have to be to make a hook-up worth it
Matching with the “the more you fuck around, the more youre gonna find out
I think we can all agree that for Barney, a girl getting a breast implants is the pinnacle of sanity. No matter how many times she would stab him with the fork
Ladies, if you're feeling left out by this clip, just change "crazy" to "broke" and you'll have your own scale.
This is why my husband puts up with me 😂
I like that the fact that she stabbed him made her crazier, but also hotter
This is the clip that made me start binge watching this show.
Love the fact that getting stabbed by a fork increased both hotness and crazyness😂
I cant believe how true it is that there are acceptable levels of crazy when it comes to dating
My summer child..... ALL women are crazy! It's just how much...
@@shockwaverider869like attracts like...never been proven wrong.
@@shockwaverider869 I would argue all people are crazy. Just depends on what gender you date.
Honestly the crazy hot line should be an exponential function
Its hard to believe Barney is gay just as much as Cam is straight lmao
How accurate his air writing is... is incredible
I've seen people try the Disney Channel Wand - that's some incredible accuracy
The Vicky Mendoza diagonal is all time Barney content. I still reference it to this day🤣
Information I'm gonna use to my advantage. Thank you, writers of How I met your mother.
Funny how when she stabbed him with a fork, the craziness raised but the hotness too
Like how stabbing with a fork also increased hotness😂
Barney’s little Barney is doing all the thinking
The video they ripped this from is gold. Look up hot crazy matrix but wait until the end
Especially knowing a red-headed hairdresser named Tiffany
Apparently Barney's advice predates the hot crazy matrix. 2007 vs 2014

I never formalized it, but I've lived my life by it.
Well done.
Barney is a treasure protect him at all costs
How is he able to display this scale with just his fingertip? I would love to see the making of this scene
He does it wrong, she gets les crazy but not hotter after she lost weight and got a boobjob
He did the drawing backwards for our explanation. What dedication to the cause Brother Barney.
bro I loved that show. I miss it 😭
when youre in a hating women competition and your opponent is the writing staff of himym
Good Mendoza line reference
i like how "stabbed me with a fork" goes at a diagonal, meaning it was crazy but also somehow made her sexier to him 😂
I love barney so much what a fantastic character
The Crazy Hot Matrix.
That graph is so wrong 😂😂
When the world needed his content the most
he came back
*TWICE*
I think it's funny that the "stabbed me with a fork" included a hotness increase.
The blatant incorrectness of the example at the end bothers me so much 😭
Losing 10 pounds and getting a boob job makes them less crazy? 😂
It makes them hotter.
From what i can tell, they are the same amount of crazy, but the hotness is enough to compensate it?

Bro developed an IQ of 200 in that brief 30 secs
Wait so getting stabbed also made her hotter?!😂
No, stabbing him with a fork was super crazy, but she got a boob job making her super , so it’s acceptable 😅
No getting the boob job made her hot enough for the stabbing to be less of a problem. She was probably Lati- I mean she had a cultural background that encouraged a certain hotblooded nature
Yep and the weight loss and boob job only made her less crazy
It made her crazier, but the boob job made her hot enough to ignore the crazy
I believe a boob job and loosing ten lbs did that.
Amber Heard proved that..
He's showing the graph wrong... He's reducing crazy instead of increasing horness 😂
So basically, she can be hot but not crazy. But she can’t be crazy and not hot. Amazing
I love how barney treads the line with this one.
Ladies you don't have to be hot, you don't have to be crazy either.

This show was simultaneously the most 2005 thing ever, and totally could NOT have been made today
Robin heard all that and still married bro, his game is generational 😂
Notice how the point goes up on the Hot scale as well when Barney talks about getting stabbed with a fork 😂
The way Barney explains it. if you lose 10 pounds you became less Crazy. The circles should go vertical not Horizontal.
I love that stabbing him with a fork moved her up on the hot scale as well as the crazy scale.
It blows my mind how i went through this show like 7 times, and rarely ever watched it
This is called the Universal Hot/Crazy Matrix and it's been around a long time. CZcams it... This is a very brief synopsis
wow it's the only explanation that i understood, but when it comes to math equations with the same thing i haven't got a single idea what it was😂😂😂😂
The Mendoza line! 😂🤣😂🤣
Baseball fans stand up!
Getting stabbed with a fork increased the hotness apparently
I miss this show. I never see any reruns of it on TV anymore 😢
He explained it so well. I have heard of something like this. It was Hot, Smart, Crazy. You could only choose two.
how did bro explain this so easily in 60 seconds but a teacher cant explain something in 40 min to me
His character from Gone Girl certainly experienced the hot crazy girl.
One of the best barny moments
When Barney says she stabbed him with a fork she moved both across and up meaning that even though he didn't find it as hot as he found it crazy he still found being stabbed with a fork hot
So the graphical representation of Hot-Crazy scale is a straight line with the equation y = x
How the hell did I miss this episode?
For some reason this takes me back to my economics class
Love the reference to the Mendoza line in baseball
He just explained positive correlation in ten seconds
Barney jus spitting facts
according to Jim, the show, Jim said this 10 years earlier
"I should give her a call." LOL
Best line ever!
" I should give her a call."
Literally how to explain my baby momma
Whoever came up with the "Hot/Crazy" diagram was an absolute genius. And he doesn't get the credit he deserves
The hot and crazy places were swapped
Stabbing Barney with a fork moves you up the hot scale.
A single divorced dad when asked “how do you feel about women?” He says“ I don’t care if she can be crazy, as long as she is equally hot.”
How come the line both got crazier AND HOTTER when he was stabbed with the fork 💀
