Perspectives - How I Met Your Mother Edition

How I Met Your Mother is one of my favorite shows.  This is a funny exchange where they discover Barney has a poster of Karate Kid in his room and they give him a hard time ...

Barney - Hey, The Karate Kid is a great movie.  It’s the story of a hopeful, young karate enthusiast whose dreams and moxie take him all the way to the All Valley Karate Championship. Of course, sadly he loses in the final round to that nerd kid. But, he learns an important lesson about gracefully accepting defeat.

Lily - Wait, when you watch The Karate Kid you actually root for that mean blonde boy?

Barney - No, I root for the scrawny loser from New Jersey who barely even knows karate. When I watch The Karate Kid I root for the karate kid, Johnny Lawrence from the Cobra Kai dojo.

Marshall - You're telling me that when you watch "The Karate Kid", you don't root for Daniel-san?
Ted - Who do you root for in "Die Hard"?
Barney - Hans Gruber. Charming international bandit. In the end, he dies hard. He's the title character.
Lily - What about "The Breakfast Club"?

Barney - The teacher running detention. He's the only guy in the whole movie wearing a suit.
Robin - I've got one. "The Terminator".
Barney - What's the name of the movie, Robin? Who among us did not shed a tear when his little red eye went out in the end, and he didn't get to kill all those people?
