On last night's How I Met Your Mother, Barney regales the gang with his video resume, in which he spews mindless platitudes about success and achieving the "possimpible." 

 

Barney's resume, titled "Barney Stinson - That Guy's Awesome," is eerily similar to the most famous video resume of all time, Aleksey Vayner's "Impossible is Nothing."  For those of you with short memories, Vayner sent a video of himself to investment banks, in which he lifted weights, salsa danced, skied, and claimed to be a "CEO and professional athlete."  Not surprisingly, someone posted it online and a pompous internet star was born.  Check out the two videos below and see what you think.
