The Barnes opening is not that bad. At least you can play the Fried Fox defence - if you know how to play it, it'll bring you some success.

Yeah, it actually has a pretty high win rate

Obviously none of those moves are best, but none of them are definitively bad. It's all about how White follows them up. Checking the databases brings up grandmaster games with all of them. Mostly blitz games of course.
In fact Magnus Carlsen himself has played nearly all of them. I can't find one with 1 h4, but very likely he's played that as well in a chess.24.com bullet game.

if you blindly look at databases, a lot of bad openings score amazingly well, (some databases have 1.na3 as the highest scoring opening.) Whats missing however is the fact a lot of these joke openings are played very rarely (often less than 100 games ) and often by a player that is a couple hundred points higher.
I analyzed this on chess.com and computer says 1.f3 brilliant move for white
1... e5 probably good move, but stockfish recomended e6
2. g4 Very good move for white
2... Qh4 Stockfish says it is terrible blunder for black. The best move Be7 says stockfish
I look database and this is very worst opening for white
In the Anderssen you can play an Open game as Black without having to study the Ruy Lopez! If someone assured me I would never face the Ruy Lopez then I'd play e5 more than the Sicilian

Yes, but he's Magnus Carlsen. 
He could play this:
... and he'd still dominate.

Probably, depends on his opponent
