What joke, in otherwise great sitcoms, do you hate?
I don’t mean that the joke just isn’t funny, I want to know a joke that almost makes you want to fast-forward through the scene.

It is kinda brilliant though, the way they set it up.
If you don’t like the joke, you can always fall back to the meta level: this is a 40-something dad recalling how dumb and cringe-worthy he and his friends were in their 20s.
Yeah it's not really supposed to be "funny". It's just Barney being corny because that's who the character is. (When he's not being a sociopath with women.)
Plus Old Ted is an unreliable narrator.
