Call Barney

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.
