Barney Stinson: Suit Up

Suit up is Barney's catchphrase to implore his friends to step up their sartorial game to match his.

Quote from Barney in The Scorpion and the Toad

Barney: Marshall Eriksen, suit up!
Marshall: No way.
Barney: Yeah you're good in that. Let's go.

Quote from Barney in Third Wheel

Marshall: Why would you do that to yourself?
Barney: Because you get up in your head, man. Start thinking, I can't do this. It's two women. That's two of everything, four of some things. The logistics alone are enough to cripple even a pro like me.
Ted: See? If a complete degenerate like Barney choked, what chance do I have?
Barney: The best chance in the world. Fear took the belt from me. Fear rode the tricycle that night, my friends. But fear will not get a second turn.
Ted: It won't?
Barney: No, because I now realize it isn't my destiny to win the belt. It is my destiny to help my friend win it. Ted is fated to go there first. He is our Neil Armstrong. [laughs] Space-suit-up, Ted, 'cause you're going to the moon.

Quote from Barney in Pilot

Barney: [answering phone] Hey, so you know how I've always had a thing for half-Asian girls? Well, now I've got a new favorite: Lebanese girls! Lebanese girls are the new half-Asians.
Ted: Hey, you wanna do something tonight?
Barney: Okay, meet me at the bar in fifteen minutes, and Suit up!

Quote from Barney in The Slutty Pumpkin

Barney: You're going as my wing-man. Flight suit up!
Ted: No thanks. I'm sticking with the hanging chad.
Barney: Oh you're dangerous, Maverick. Your ego's writing check your body can't cash. OK. Here's the plan, and I crap you not. I'm getting us into the Victoria's Secret Halloween party. Trust me, by the end of the night, your chad will not be hanging.

Quote from Barney in World's Greatest Couple

Lily: Oh, I think we made the right decision going for the custom-made Italian sheets.
Barney: Hey, if my bed's going to suit up, it's going to do it right. Want to give it a whirl?

Quote from Ted in Wait For It...

[At Marshall and Lily's wedding in 2007:]
Ted: I don't know. Robin and I broke up two weeks ago. I'm... I'm not ready.
Barney: When will you be ready?
Future Ted: [v.o.] It was a good question. After a big relationship ends, you need some time to recuperate. Robin took a trip to Argentina, and I went through my usual routine. I grew my breakup beard.
[Ted is in his bathroom as Barney bursts in:]
Barney: Ted Mosby, suit up, 'cause here's the plan. There's a Miss Nassau County pageant. We'll pretend to be judges and, yes, our votes are for sale.
Ted: I'm not ready.
[Ted paints a wall as Barney bursts in:]
Future Ted: I repainted the apartment.
Barney: Finish line of a woman 10K. Salty girls on an endorphin high who just want to lie down. Yeah.
Ted: I'm not ready.
[The gang, minus Robin, are MacLaren's:]
Future Ted: And the truth is, I was doing really good.
Barney: Female acrobats from Montreal. Super flexible. We're going to get "Cirque de So-Laid". What up?
Ted: Barney, come on, we've covered this. I'm not-
Lily: Robin!
Robin: Hey, guys. I just got in last night. Um, uh, this is Gael.
Gael: Hola.
Ted: Okay, I'm ready.
