This page tells about the interactions between Corey Riffin and Barney.
Overview[]
Corey and Barney usually help each other out with things. However, when Corey helps Barney with things, he usually doesn't give him exactly what he needs and usually makes things worse than they were before. Corey relies on Barney to help his band succeed at the things that they often times try to do. Barney will also constantly be hosting a huge event and hire Corey's band to play there. Most of the time, Corey has to meet some certain requirements before he can play there. Corey will put major effort into accomplishing this, but when he does, he will usually just be lying about it. Neither Corey or the rest of the band show any shame or guilt whatsoever for lying to Barney.

All You Need is Cake[]
Barney hired Grojband to play at his daughter's wedding but Corey only wanted to play at his wedding because there was cake there. However, when he heard that none of the members of Grojband have actually been in love, he had to turn them down. Corey promised Barney that he was already in love with Laney. Barney didn't believe him so he told them to prove it. Corey and Laney went on many fake dates together to fool Barney. After the fake dates, Corey and Laney told Barney about everything they did. Laney told him about all of the romantic things they did which did not amuse him. Corey then told him about how much horrible things happened to them and what terrible things they did to their friends when dating, emotionally touching Barney, and making him tear up as he literally puked from love and allowed them to preform on stage. Instead of dedicating the song to Bake Barnera and her husband like they had promised Barney, and instead dedicated it to Kin and Kon because of how they betrayed them earlier. Everyone still liked their song and they still got their cake reward anyway.

Barney hired Corey and the band to play at the grand opening of the Salad Barn. Corey lied to Barney, saying that he was a vegan band, but Trina eventually revealed to Barney that they were lying. Barney was disappointed in them for lying and he told them that it hey still had a chance at playing at the grand opening if they became legitimate vegans. Corey and the band tried to become real vegans at first, but later decided that it would be a bad idea to do that, so they lied to him again and he believed them.

Corey didn't care about his shock as he happily admired how good he did at making them get strong. Corey happily nudged Barney and Barney screamed in terror and fainted in the floor. Corey eventually returned them all back to their normals states again. Kon asked him if they helped Barney by doing this. Corey carelessly said "Doubt it" and signed off the episode.
