The Bro Code, which is cited from Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) via How I Met Your Mother, is a book that consist of rules and conducts for Bros to follow and treat as one's religion. It was published in October of 2008; however, it has been used by Barney in How I Met Your Mother since it's premiere in September of 2005.

Barney Stinson was once accused in an episode of How I Met Your Mother of follow his own set of rules and his comback was "In the year 1776, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington were having a drink in Philadelphia when Franklin accused Washington of "codpiece block[ing]" him. Washington remarked there was no rule against it and Franklin insisted that there should be. Barnabus Stinson stepped in and offered to write this collection of rules when Franklin and Washington each said they were too busy."

The Bro Code can be considered a humorous book for it's many remarks of sexual and physical content. According to The Bro Code,"A Bro is a person who would give you the shirt off his back when he doesn't want to wear it anymore. A Bro is a person who will bend over backwards to help you bend someone else over backwards. In short, a Bro is a lifelong companion you can trust will always be there for you, unless he's got something else going on." Also concluded from the definition, "You don't need to be a guy to be somebody's Bro, provided you uphold the moral values contained within this sacred canon. When a women sets a guy up with her busty friend, she's acting as a Bro. And if she sets him up with other hot friends after he slept with the first one and never called her again, then she's officially his Bro."

Editorial Reviews say "Everyone's life is governed by an internal code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others call it religion. But Bros in the know call this holy grail The Bro Code. " This publication developed from a series into a book and along followed books by Barney Stinson with Matt Kuhn called, Bro on the Go and The Playbook.

History and Brocabulary
The Bro Code originated from How I Met Your Mother into a book on how to pick up chicks and rules to abide by through the process. In early history there were no rules to follow in Bro sense, therefore the first Broicide was committed by Cain and Abel through Cain's killing of Abel. Leaving him without a wing man to pick up chicks, he killed himself.

Articles
There are over 120 articles that consist of the entire Bro Code

The first and considered the most important code according to Barney Stinson, is Bro's Before Ho's "The bond between two men is stronger than the bond between a man and a woman because, on average, men are stronger than women. That's just science."

There are many other codes including:

Article 11 : A Bro may ask his Bro(s) to help him move, but only after first disclosing an honest estimate on both time commitment and number of large pieces of furniture. If the Bro has vastly underestimated either, his Bros retain the right to leave his possessions where they are - in most cases, stuck in the doorway.

Article 28 : A Bro will, in timely manner, alert his Bro to the existence of a girl fight.

A Bro must, in timely manner, communicate the possibility of fisticuffs between two humans of the female variety (henceforth "girl fight"), in an effort to make possible and probable that another Bro or Bros can partake in observation. A "timely manner" is open to interpretation based on the initial Bro's viewing and processing of the potential feminine conflagration. Said Bro must use any and all methods of media distribution at his disposal, including but not limited to: telecommunications, elbow nudging, carrier pigeons, fiber optics, shouting, postcards, and telepathy. If an informed Bro is unable to witness the girl fight firsthand, the spotter Bro is responsible for documenting and relating details of the girl fight via pictures, video, or, barring any other reasonable method, interpretive dance and/or pantomime.

Article 35 : A Bro never rents a chick flick.

Article 51 : A Bro checks out another Bro's blind date and reports back with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.

If you can't get a bro to scope out your blind date beforehand, there is a way to at least learn how promiscuous she'll be–– have her choose the date venue.

BLIND DATE TRANSLATIONS currently under construction.

Article 59 : A Bro must always post bail for another Bro, unless its out of state or, like, crazy expensive.

WHEN BAIL IS CRAZY EXPENSIVE?

Crazy Expensive Bail > (Years You've Been Bros) x $100

Article 116: A Bro shall not kill another Bro or that Bros’ chances to score with a chick.

According to Article 22 of The Bro Code, not only men have a code, but women do too, The Chick Code.

"DO CHICKS REALLY HAVE THEIR OWN CODE?

Yes, I’m afraid so. One morning, before slipping out the door wile my hostess was in the shower, I happened upon a copy of the rumoured tome. I didn’t have time to flip must past the pink bedazzled cover, but here are some of the phases I remember seeing on the frilly pages within:

• A chick shall not sleep with another chick’s ex-boyfriend, unless she does.

• A chick never pays for anything. Ever.

• If two chicks get into a fight, they shall make catty remarks and pretend to ignore each other, rather than simply stripping down and wrestling it out.

• If a chick hears a chick-empowering song like “I Will Survive,” she shall stop whatever she’s doing, grab another chick’s hand, and shriek the lyrics at the top of her lungs.

• A chick may get a dog as a pet, but only if it fits in her mailbox.

• If two chicks are wearing the same outfit, each retains the right to accidentally spill a drink on the other.

• A chick shall not operate a motor vehicle in a safe manner.

• A chick has a free pass to slut it up on Halloween."
