Is the blond guy literally a scumbag throughout the series. Like, he just has a ton of illegitimate kids that he does not acknowledge, and a sea of women he has used and perhaps abused, and his friends are just all cool with it

    Yeah, but the whole show is told from the perspective of his frequently envious friend, Ted, and Ted is regularly shown to be an unreliable narrator. The blonde character also gets long-term, deeply involved with Ted's primary romantic interest, and there are hints that maybe blonde one's exploits are overstated because Ted's still not over it or otherwise remembers it through a negative perspective.

    Sir, I'll have you know that, "that blond guy" is none other than Neil Patrick Harris.

    His acting range covers an immense range of characters; from teen heartthrob Doogie Howser, to the psychic GeStaPoesque Carl Jenkins, to comedy villain Dr Horrible, to playboy Barney Stinson.

    He's gay but he plays cis-het womanizing sluts so well that a lot of people assume he's a cis-het womanizing slut IRL.

    Unlike his fake slut persona, he's actually a real magician and does the tricks in HIMYM himself. He even has his own card deck with a secret code in it https://store.theory11.com/products/neil-patrick-harris-playing-cards

    "that blond guy" indeed. Herumph sir. I say herumph to that!
