How I Met Everyone Else

'The Bro Code' is a book written by the character Barney Stinson on the show 'How I Met Your Mother', and is full of codes by which Barney supposedly lives his life (although in many episodes, he breaks many of the 'bro codes' himself).

When Ted finds himself with three prospects to be his date for the wedding weekend, he chooses poorly. Meanwhile, Barney and Robin have a confrontation with their minister, and Marshall learns more about his driving companion, Daphne.

While trying to find out who Robin's past obsession is, Barney uncovers the lost episode of the "Underneath the Tunes" music documentary series in which Robin Sparkles was featured. Marshall and Lily have some concerns about Ted's latest girlfriend.

Ted asks the dermatologist removing his tattoo to go on a date and his friends try to discourage him from going out with someone he sees regularly--the "Platinum Rule"--recalling their own horror stories of bad experiences. (Robin dated a coworker, Barney dated Wendy the waitress, and Marshall and Lily double-dated with their neighbors). Ted's date is a bust anyway as the doctor says it's illegal to date patients.
