In last night’s Family Guy, Peter Griffin makes a Neil Patrick Harris reference and asks the question I’ve always asked about How I Met Your Mother…

Sorry if you’re not in the US and can’t see Hulu clips.

(If you remember Neil Patrick Harris has appeared on Family Guy – playing Barney in 2007).

Over at the AskBinc blog, professional recruiter Boris Epstein, dissects Barney Stinson’s video resume and gives practical tips on how you too can be awesome.

Boris explains:

We are beginning to see an incredibly candidate-centric marketplace, meaning quality talent is in abundance and people need to start being creative in order to set themselves apart from the rest. One way to do this is by creating a short and sweet video resume that could really provide the employer with an extra bit of insight into your abilities. By doing this you are setting yourself apart from the crowd and taking a step ahead of the competition to get your foot in the door of their company.

How better to do this than with a video resume, much like Barney’s!

For fans of NPH and Alison Hannigan (or just fans of How I Met Your Mother) the following will not come as a surprise. TVGuide has called HIMYM Smart TV:

Why It’s Smart: TV has given us Friends who live and hang out together, as well as the gang at Cheers. CBS’ Mother did not simply merge those winning set-ups but did them one better by shrewdly establishing a “finishing line” right in its title. So as awesome as Barney is, and as adorably Canadian as Robin is, and as hot monkey-sextastic as Lily and Marshall are, we are left to wonder every week: How did Ted meet his future kids’ mother? And who is she?
How Smart Is It? Like, Doogie Howser-child-doctor smart.

Yes, we get it you’re clever TVGuide for commenting on the role that launched NPH into stardom.

Anyways, hopefully stories like this will remind the powers that be that fans actually do like smart tv. And that can only lead to good things.

In case you’re having a hard time in the current economic crisis, you may want to brush up your video resume. Like Neil Patrick Harris’ character, Barney Stinson, on “How I Met Your Mother” did.

That guy is awesome.
