==Bad Qualities==

#There are certain people who dislike Barney due to his irritatingly cheerful personality and his smarmy, also because of his constant laughing and singing becoming repetitive at times, and He can be annoying sometimes, mainly while singing the "I Love You" song at times. but doesn't mean he's bad, it’s just some flaws he has like many other good characters.
#His mini-doll form from the first season can be considered as "creepy" at times because of the eyes, but luckily it was improved in the second season.
