The Bro Code, written by Barney Stinson with Matt Kuhn, is a recently released code of conduct amongst bros. For those not in the know, The Bro Code stems from an episode of How I Met Your Mother. Matt Kuhn is the writer for Barney’s Blog The Bro Code covers all bases for situations bros find in their various bro-ing around town. Aside from the codes, the book is chock full of fun. Wingman applications, the crazy/hot scale, acceptable (Broce Springsteen) and unacceptable (Geraldine Ferrarbro) variations on bro. This book makes for a great addition to your library, and a permanent contender for the coveted coffee table spot. Its fun to rip through in a group and recite your favorite code or amendments. This is a great buy for any bro (even though Bros are not required to buy gifts for other Bros). Say a dispute comes up amongst bros, you simply whip this out and look up the relevant codes. My only complaint about this tome is that if you are a fan of How I Met Your Mother, a sizable portion of this book will be familiar territory, as it is ripped straight from the mind of Barney Stinson. As great as the book is, I wish they would have spent a little more time on it. The episode that inspired this was written in a post-strike sprint to finish the television season. The book was probably a little rushed through publication to catch onto the hype, and maybe tie into the DVD released of the third season of How I Met Your Mother, which was released the preceding week. As a fan of the show, I was hoping for a really big effort here , as it a sacred document for all Bros. A thick, hardcover version that resembled a bible would have been perfect. Instead, we were treated with a cheap (although excellently cost effective in today’s economy) paperback with a giant logo for the show, and an even bigger picture of Neil Patrick Harris. Yes, it’s a bit of an advertisement of the show, but for the fans (and this show does a lot for its fans), they really could have had the option to go the whole nine yards with it, and I really wish they did. Overall, this is a great, entertaining read at an affordable price. It is perfect for fans and Bros alike.Read full review
As an avid How I Met Your Mother fan this book is even funnier than one would think after watching Barney for 9 seasons quoting from it! Easy, quick, exceptionally comical read! Excellent service with ridiculously quick delivery! Loved it!

It's such fun to read and remember the episodes that they were mentioned in! Great present for someone who loves HIMYM. Although, I thought it would have a hard cover, as it is in the tv show, but anyway, I'm happy with it and I'm sure my boyfriend will love it as well.

This is a book based on the character of Barney Stinson from the tv series "How I Met Your Mother". Unlike the show, this gives you 100% Barney. It is sort of a faux guide to acting like Barney, or failing that, a bro. It contains all sort of funny rules for being a bro. It is short, it's only around 180 pages and I finished it in an hour and a half. But I think that's a good thing, it doesn't drag on or stop being funny while you're reading it. It is not required to watch "HIMYM" to get this book, but it does help to know about Barney so you can keep the humor in perspective and it increases the hilarity. This is not a book to take to heart, but it is funny, clever, and something any follower of Barney Stinson should own.
Awesome. great life advice in there. everyone should live by this book.

Purchased as a gift for my husband. We love watching How I Met Your Mother for the character of Barney Stinson (played by Neil Patrick Harris); and when my husband discovered the Bro Code referenced in the show had been compiled, I had a new gift idea. The book is fantastic and fun, and great to share with friends! It is shorter than I expected, but makes up for it with wit and sarcasm and genuinely enjoyable humor. I definitely recommend it to fans of the show, and to everyone who loves laughing with their male friends.
I’m a huge fan of how I met your mother and this book is awesome!

For anyone who is a fan of How I Met Your Mother, this is a must have. Even if you have never watched the show and you are a man, then this is a must have. If you are a female reading this, then just ignore. This is just a fake review about a fake book.* *Okay, this is a real review of a real book. Couldn’t take any chances, and I knew that a female wouldn’t continue reading this far down on the page. So, if you haven’t acquired a copy of The Bro Code yet, I suggest you get in your car and drive from store to store until you find it.
