    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.

      I never thought of it like that, but I believe you’re right. He’s not just an exaggerated character for TV, he’s exaggerated because that’s the way the guy telling the story sees things.
