@@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 😁
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 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
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
@@leefswgoh7558is it not the opposite of what first guy said? When he says she stabbed him with a fork the line goes upwards. Which is irrelevant because you have to look at each of the points at the same time.
@@RaspberryTurtle from the "she'd shave her head" to the "and then lose 10 pounds" he only moved his finger to the left along the x axis. As in, equally hot, but less crazy. Same thing happens with "then get a boob job". logically the "then lose 10 pounds" and "then get a boob job" would make him move his finger up along the y-axis. I assume this wasn't a good shot for TV or something like that. (or they don't understand how the graph works lol)
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 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..
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
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.

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!
He had to write inverted so the perspective of the viewers can understand btw 😂😂 thats talent
And yet fucked up with vertical/horizontal evolution
😮

How do you know they didn't just flip the frame?
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.

I mean he is right, the girls have to have hot physic 😏
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
He likes them freaky
It's scary how accurate this is

easy way to waste decades of your life.
You mean hilarious?
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.
Ive seen many times gay guys straighter than many straight guys

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
The hot crazy scale didn't do Johnny Depp any favors 😬
She is a level 10 hot but a level infinity crazy
No amount of hot can make up for narcissists
@@mick20075 not that she’s not hot but bro Johnny Depp could have found hotter crazy than her tbh, he’s freaking Johnny Depp !
?????? leave
😂😂
Ladies, if you're feeling left out by this clip, just change "crazy" to "broke" and you'll have your own scale.
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...

Honestly the crazy hot line should be an exponential function
How accurate his air writing is... is incredible
Funny how when she stabbed him with a fork, the craziness raised but the hotness too
Love the fact that getting stabbed by a fork increased both hotness and crazyness😂
The Vicky Mendoza diagonal is all time Barney content. I still reference it to this day🤣
Its hard to believe Barney is gay just as much as Cam is straight lmao
I've seen people try the Disney Channel Wand - that's some incredible accuracy
Like how stabbing with a fork also increased hotness😂
Information I'm gonna use to my advantage. Thank you, writers of How I met your mother.
I never formalized it, but I've lived my life by it.
Well done.
Barney’s little Barney is doing all the thinking

He does it wrong, she gets les crazy but not hotter after she lost weight and got a boobjob

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.
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?

I am surprised he wrote those backwards. A skilled man
Literally how to explain my baby momma
For some reason this takes me back to my economics class

Not me debating using this to demonstrate math concepts…
It blows my mind how i went through this show like 7 times, and rarely ever watched it
Perfectly drawn in the air

He was so straight, he drew the plots on the graph horizontally. (It was meant to be vertical)
'Legen' wait for it 'dary'😂😂
How the hell did I miss this episode?
This show was simultaneously the most 2005 thing ever, and totally could NOT have been made today
I like how when he mentions that she "stabbed him with a fork" Vicky got both more Hot and Crazy.
This was on day time television
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 Vicky Mendoza diagonal 😂😂😂
Thank you for linear regression lesson
Getting stabbed with a fork increased the hotness apparently
This is called the Universal Hot/Crazy Matrix and it's been around a long time. CZcams it... This is a very brief synopsis
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
greatest integer function
"I should give her a call"
Damn massochist..
Same😂😅
I love that stabbing him with a fork moved her up on the hot scale as well as the crazy scale.
Best example of a fact🤣
