The Bro Code

By: Barney Stinson

Narrated by: Neil Patrick Harris

From the hit TV show How I Met Your Mother comes Barney Stinson’s words of wit, wisdom, and awesomeness, The Bro Code—the New York Times bestseller (really!) with more than a million copies in print all around the world.

Everyone’s life is governed by an internal code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others call it religion. But Bros in the know call this Holy Grail The Bro Code.

The Bro Code is a living document, much like the Constitution. Except instead of outlining a government, or the Bill of Rights, or anything even resembling laws, The Bro Code provides men with all the rules they need to know in order to become a “bro” and behave properly among other bros. Historically a spoken tradition passed from one generation to the next and dating back to the American Revolution, the official code of conduct for Bros appears here in its published form for the first time ever. By upholding the tenets of this sacred and legendary document, any dude can learn to achieve Bro-dom.

Containing approximately 150 “unspoken” rules, this code of conduct for bros can range from the simple (bros before hos) to the complex (the hot-to-crazy ratio, complete with bar graphs and charts). With helpful sidebros The Bro Code will help any ordinary guy become the best bro he can be. Let ultimate bro and coauthor Barney Stinson and his book, The Bro Code share their wisdom, lest you be caught making eye contact in a devil’s three-way (two dudes, duh).©2008 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation; (P)2008 Simon & Schuster

Smaller Doses

My opinion is biased, because of my love for the show How I Met Your Mother. That said I loved this, Neil Patrick Harris was great, and all the entries were hilarious and very creative! I just personally didn't find listening to the whole thing in one sitting a good idea. I found it to be more fitting for a bathroom book.

The book that governs all Bros.

A must read for all Bros to be. This is the sacred text governing over any and all Bros or Bros to be. While not all rules must be remembered, the most important ones are to be memorized and never be forgotten. Every bro should read this sacred text by 16 and the Playbook after losing their virginity OR if they're still a kiss less virgin by 17.

Halarious Read

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

We love "How I Met Your Mother" and the Barney Stinson character, but the audio book fell short.

I think for us, the Bro codes are more amusing when it is imbedded in a larger situation.
