Who was the most hilarious character on How I Met Your Mother?

How I Met Your Mother is a classic American sitcom that has captivated audiences with its humor and heart since it premiered in 2005. One of the reasons for the show's success is its cast of quirky and lovable characters, each with their own unique personalities and comedic styles.

While there is no definitive answer to who the most hilarious character on the show is, many fans would argue that the honor belongs to Barney Stinson, played by Neil Patrick Harris. Barney is a womanizing, suit-wearing bro who is constantly coming up with elaborate schemes and catchphrases. Harris's performance as Barney earned him numerous awards and nominations, including four Primetime Emmy nominations and two wins for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

Other contenders for the title of funniest character on the show include Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel), a lovable goofball with a heart of gold, and Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), a tough-talking news anchor with a secret soft side. Of course, the show's narrator and central character, Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor), also has his fair share of comedic moments, as do Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan) and various guest stars who appear throughout the show's nine seasons.
