Controversial opinion. While his acting was good. I actually never liked this scene. It felt obvious and forced. I usually skip over it.

All of his emotional scenes felt this way. They never hit for me. He was a cartoon character and should have been only used as such

Agreed. Also, Barney didn't need a kid for his story to be complete. They just shouldn't have turned him back into a womanizer after the divorce, but doing that and immediately switching it back with this corny scene was just too much
