The Super Bowl had no shortage of clever ads. Some of the most surprising were the ads for CBS shows, particularly 'The Late Show with David Letterman'. However, there was also an ad starring Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson, his character from 'How I Met Your Mother'.

Using an ad campaign that can be ironically described as cerebral and abstract, the ad had Barney in the crowd of the Super Bowl showing a sign with an 877 number and telling the ladies to call him. Supposedly there will be a follow-up to this situation on the next episode.

Upon calling the number, listeners get a pre-recorded message (that insists that it is not pre-recorded) telling them to meet Barney at MacLaren's Bar at 3:45 A.M. on Monday, October 12, 2016. This is according to the original article, but currently that number only gives a busy signal.

How many people do you think are actually going to show up, assuming there is a MacLaren's Bar or some wiseguy won't open up a bar with that name between now and then? You know there will be more than a few.
