About this audiobook
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).
Barney Stinson
Barney Stinson is awesome. He works for a powerful bank in New York City but somehow finds time to “suit up” and help the less fortunate, in particular his lovelorn and all together pathetic bro Ted Mosby—seriously, that dude’s got probs. When Barney’s not staging private bikini calendar shoots, test-driving tanks, or elbow-deep in another legendary activity, like riding a tiger bareback or blowing up a guitar, he can be seen on the hit CBS show How I Met Your Mother with his friends Ted, Robin, Lily, and Marshall.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5it is legend wait for it dairy ,i always wanted to hear this
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Brotastic! Loved all of it... Highly recommend.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Exploitative tie-in publication. More a rehash/collection of bits from the show as opposed to original material. If TV related reading is your craving, "How To Archer" is far superior.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Bro Code is a funny book. A quick read and especially fun while reading it aloud to a group of friends. I prefer it over Barney Stinson oher book; The Playbook. I actually gave it to a friend of mine as a birthday present and he got a kick out of it!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Picked this up as I like the TV show 'How I Met Your Mother' and find the Barney Stinson character to be quite funny in the over the top egotistical & narcissistic way.
Whilst some parts of the book are genuinely funny the majority is really just Barney Stinson statements from the show reformatted into a 'code' of sorts.
If you haven't seen much of the show you will probably enjoy the book and have quite a few laughs, if you have seen most of the show you probably won't get much out of the book.
It's not bad, but at the same time it doesn't bring much to the table either. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Funny but pretty predictable, it's kind of a fun read for fans of "How I Met Your Mother." I listened to the audiobook, and one of the best things about it was Neil Patrick Harris's narration. Basically, it's humor disguised as advice for men who subscribe to the idea of "bros before hos."
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Tony and I listened to this yesterday since we are such huge fans of the show. It was entertaining enough, though it got a little old in some places and some "articles" were far less amusing than others. Overall, though, I found it funny. Neil Patrick Harris reading was key. It was amusing to see how many articles Tony had broken.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm being generous with 3 stars, it's a 6 out of 10. Now don't get me wrong it IS very funny and very entertaining, and essential in every bro's repertoire. But, I must say, many articles need some work, and there are some things that are just wrong. Like getting Barney in a 1-10 rating scale in one of the articles, even as 10, that is unacceptable, the rating scale should have been 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Barney. There's also the exclusion of many bro's and the lack of internationality of the tome. It just doesn't get as awesome as Barney would have it. In the absence of a better bro code, this is the one. The good part is, it's got an amendment section at the end where you can write your own amendment, alas, there's space for only one.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5made me laugh out loud following by periods of non-laughter that went on too long
