A person who is intentionally starting trouble, but pretends not to be, is creating Barney Rubble Trouble.
At the football game, Tim belittled the opposing fans by shouting names at them. When the stadium security guard came around, he told Tim to have a good time in the stands, but to not start any trouble. Tim replied, "No trouble, no trouble, Barney Rubble." Tim was creating Barney Rubble trouble because he gave the security guard the impression that he didn't mean to start any trouble when he really did.

Once you're seen hanging out with Barney the purple dinosaur, you might as well start going to school at home.
That was so courageous of the girl to lay low until graduation after the other kids at school talked shit about her best friend Barney the purple dinosaur. What kind of friend was she to Barney when he needed her to have his back, was he on his own after that?

A person who acts like a tough guy, but can't back it up. The term derives from the character of Barney Fife, the Deputy Sheriff of Mayberry on the Andy Griffith Show who often acted tough when he was obviously not tough at all.
